<div class="floatright"><strong>Taren Mandoran</strong> (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=302159.msg14763823#msg14763823)<br/>(https://i0.wp.com/cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/230281/Wikkit_Butterbeer1.jpg?w=600)</div>Taren nods on king's words, smiling he adds; "I could say finest of<em>treasures</em>as well." With given emphasis a subtle ass cheek squeeze onto his escort, which no doubt entire court saw but still compliment is compliment. He continues; "I will earnestly wait for celebrations and see the ritual done, a wizard side of me is awed by your prince's prowess in magic and accomplishing this miracle is truly wondrous spectacle."<br/><br/>After greetings done he goes linger on guests until time for ritual approaches. He talks small talk with other guests, sipping wine and keenly make observations here and there. Those who know Taren do not underestimate his keen eyes and observations, also not think being bit tipsy dulls his senses to see and observe. As it's carefully build act over many years in social gatherings, a sort mask which he had grown comfortable to wear all time almost as he rarely is fully sober. Of course another reason not being sober is his divination arts which provide him through dreams visions of future and he wants not see all possibilities, in truth, he was introduced to drugs and drinking in divination classes in academy!<br/><br/>So his eyes looked (and tried listen) ongoing gossip of Glen Avon's court as they moved to ritual chamber and admired from distance Thazel's beauty and studied the circles with curious eye. His familiar gently soared above the crowd until finding good nesting spot where sit. Or land on ground and move into shadowy corner of the room. Overall remain out of sight, out of mind while occasion Taren closes his eyes....observe conversations through eyes and ears of his familiar from different angle.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Taren can read lips and understands elven, common and halfling and his passive perception is decent, insight very high and investigation almost legendary high. Taren occasion spies things through his familiar to eavesdrop or see people's lips to read them. Overall gathering the gossip much as he can.</div></div>
