Jim paused as he heard himself being addressed from behind amd gave the pretty woman who he was talking to a polite smile, "Scusie once more Madam." 

With a pivot of his boot heel he faced the elf that had accused him of poverty and maintained his polite smile. 

"Now that's quite the bold statement to introduce yourself with," Jim gave the elf a chuckle. 

"Luckily I don't figure myself an insecure king, let alone one who jumps at every insult he hears about his reign," Jim gave a politicians nod, "I am King Jeffsoff Curlow, it is a pleasure to meet you Prince Alurar of Harnartha."

The doppelganger adjusted his crown in question, "As for bronze being the metal of the poor, I assure you in Marmon it is quite the opposite, I mean, our most sacred and priceless artifact is but copper, the crown of Marmon, lost to the ages, and second to it is the Crown of Curlow, bronze and upon my head as divine appointment."

William swallowed his food and gave a nod as he washed his dry throat with some drink. 

"Of course," William said putting his fist to his mouth and clearing his throat, "After all, I am the Captain of Curlows Riders, Edwin."

William wiped his fingers on a hand cloth and then offered his newly cleaned hand as he stood perfectly straight.
