The information regarding the lurking imbecile struck a nerve for Illyan; career criminals always rubbed him off in a negative way. While he was considered one of the more kinder individuals who was relatively uncharacteristic to get upset, those particular times where his temper flared were not pleasant to witness. One might have been more frightened by angering a common thug or lumbering titan, but the wrath of any type of mage? All too frequently, would he experience a ruffian attempting to steal one of his tomes or gemstones; had it not been for the state of his own reputation in the society, he would have surely burnt his own justice onto their hands.

[color=Orange][b]"We understand the.. [i]inconvenience[/i] of your attendant's situation,"[/b][/color] Illyan gave the lord an intense look, leaning closer towards the table as he folded his arms. [color=Orange][b]"But as a close hand to my liege, allow me to remind you of your invitation as [i]guests[/i] within [i]our[/i] manor. These halls do not serve as a pig sty to be paraded around."[/b][/color]

Although Illyan knew that he was on the borderline of threatening the opposing Lord, his task was to assume the order of the conference. He held no animosity towards House Aseryo and they knew that, but in the end, he was loyal to House Tosen. Given his neutral position on the feud, he was suggested to serve as a mediator, should any tension arise from the discussion to come.

Illyan's serious expression melted into a small, genuine smile. He reached forward, lifting his chalice of drink. [color=Orange][b]"But, I digress. My respect and welcomes, Lord Aseryo. To hopes of progress."[/b][/color]

Illyan could not help but feel slightly awkward, potentially being the only person in the room to be smiling. It was simply the fact that, despite the existence of the two Houses' feud, he personally felt that there was bigger issues at hand; demons, people disappearing, and not to mention, the growing drought that was leading to an epidemic of food shortages. Those things were what he wanted to rectify most, and maybe, it could lead to the dissolution of the hostility between their Houses.

But, of course, if the miscreant laid its hands on his own possessions, Illyan would not hesitate to make it personal against the skulking dullard.
