Why yes, I am here it seems and so are you. I wonder why the Mistress chose to have us here at the same time within this backwards world. Ah, fate can be a funny thing at times, can't it?

[He's enjoying this. Really. Now, he can poke fun at prince Noctis.]

Fight you? Oh no, dear boy! Wouldn't want to make a scene, not here in front of all the guests and our esteemed Mistress. If I wanted a fight I'd pick a nice outdoors scene so we could stretch our legs out properly.

[Another shit-eating smile, as he finished his wine and reached for the bottle filling his empty goblet up once more.]
