Varon smiled at the maids speaking in a calm tone.<strong>"Well I am presently waiting for my companions still, so I would be rude to start without them, but bring a pitcher of wine ready at the table, and four glasses. I'll put one of them to use while waiting."</strong>He pulled out a pair of silver pieces, holding them at ready for the maids to take up should they know a wine that they could bring then. He had received two gold from Demetri earlier, but parting from two silver somehow still felt a bit harder. Perhaps because it was him spoiling himself, rather than getting necessities.<br/><br/><strong>"Nothing extravagant, just simple, common wine. Its best to enjoy simple pleasures in life, afterall."</strong>Varon looked around in the room, blinking at the sight of the other elf approaching. Her direct words and manners made him silently try and assess her abilities, the threat she might pose. Always looking for the thorn in the rose, though he did appreciate having a look and did not find it unflattering to his ego either to be eyed over as well.<br/><br/><strong>"I am <em>the elf</em> that came along with <em>other</em> adventurers earlier, yes."</strong>His tone was casual and relaxed, but a few words casually sharpened on his tongue, as he watched her, trying to figure her out still. Something about her made him coil like a viper readying to strike.<strong>"I'd invite you to sit down but you have already taken the initiative I see. So, what can I, or any of my companions for that matter, do for you?"</strong>He was careful he was not volunteering them for anything, himself or the others, but he was willing to hear her out. Perhaps his suspicions were without a base. If so, he would be curious to learn more of her.<br/><br/>If not, he wouldn't at least have to scold himself for being charmed by a pretty face long enough to be stabbed by a concealed knife.<em>Like that one time, almost.</em>
