arrow The Lady's Ward -- Chattin' with Charlie
Athrien began to speak, but silenced himself. Did he come off as if he knew anything about-- oh. Oh!
He gave Charles a quick bow before following through and finishing his attempt at speech.
"
Oh! My bad, I meant to say that as "It is folly to assume that you know things like her personal life", et cetera. "Know so much", y'see. I think the only thing I know about her is her apparent workplace, name, and appearance. I concede that you easily know more about her than I."
There was little to add here. His poor wording had made him come off more pompous than desired, but at least his attempt to recover was well-delivered, he felt.
After some very low-tier pondering, Athrien got to tapping his posh, booted feet against the floor. It would probably be a great idea to change back into something reasonable soon.. But now was not the time. Gears attempted to turn and spring into action in the rogue's mind.
"After
the reclamation.. Hm. That's.. worth noting. Well, you've spent some time with her, so do you think she had any reason to do something like that?"
At least he wasn't viewed as a hostile in Charles' place. And perhaps he was even going to make some headway! Why would she leave
after the reclamation..? Was there anything worth browsing through in her belongings?
..He probably wouldn't have gotten away with that if he'd asked, anyway.
"
When was the last time you saw her, then? Approximately. "
Maybe this information was going to be of help? It certainly bought some time to let him make some better questions, at least.
