If 'Sir' was an improper means of address for the yugoloth officer, it certainly gave no indication of that fact.  Then again, given the rather... ambiguous nature of its appearance, it was easily possible that both titles applied, or equally possible that neither was appropriate.  Either way, the Altraloth didn't seem to mind.<br/><br/>"I have little need of art pieces, myself,"  Erebus volunteered, in response to the Bitch Queen's comment.  "But the officer whose forces carried away the artifact is paying me a bribe to drive the price up.  It isn't a particularly substantial sum, however, certainly not enough to bother with when so few seem interested in it."<br/><br/>Yugoloths, of course, were not known for giving away anything for free... including information.  Creatures driven by greed and ambition, having willingly purged their entire race of base emotions like hatred and jealousy millennia ago, they always sought to profit from whatever situation they found themselves in.  Which made this one's actions rather unusual...<br/><br/>"If no competing bidders pop up, I do believe this item will soon be yours, your majesty.  My congratulations."
