He winced slightly as his fingers probed his flesh and bones to determine the extent of this latest piece of damage he had inadvertently done to himself. It wasn't disfiguring. This was good. Irritating certainly, though vastly inferior in discomfort compared to his Fal'shbort training sessions. It was well within his capacity to endure. He waved away the offer to get Constantin in to tend to him. [color=B22222]"No no, is nothing."[/color] he mumbled, still not fully himself quite yet. He cleared his throat and took in a sharp breath. Vlad rose form his position carefully and moved to take a seat on the other side of Captain Montoya's desk. He accepted the chalice and took a tentative sip, inhaling the vapors of the fine liquid so as to experience it fully. Such was his way. [color=B22222]"But vine... is good. [i]Spasibo[/i]."[/color] He seemed a little more sedate than normal, though the Captain would likely not understand the levels that were considered "normal" by his people. [color=B22222]"Vill locate hat and bottle later. Hat vas gift, bottle... heh, [i]not vine[/i]. You should experience another time, da? Da."[/color] The glimmer was coming back into his eyes, and his speech less colored by forced sleep. [color=B22222]"For starting, am thanking for hospitality of La Canela ship. I vish to repay, if you are in position for Circus to do so ever."[/color] Vladimir verbalized the first few thoughts as a means of flexing his voice and determining how much of the English language he and the Captain had in common. Satisfied that she probably knew more than he did, he regained his more rolling, emotionally nuanced method of speech. But first, another sip of wine. [color=B22222]"Giving of helps to vone another is reason I vish to talk alone. I vould entertain other reasons, but, ehhh..."[/color] he beamed a foolish smile at Regalia, lightly insinuating occasions of significantly less formality, before relenting with a flourish of his hands and bow of his head, [color=B22222]"Is time of business-ing, for now. But business-ing vith vine? Also nice. To begin: For please, vhat are your thoughts on Graveolase?"[/color] Vladimir arched an eyebrow from over his chalice and cocked his head at a slight angle. There was much to discuss in that regard, and The Great Bazhooli could not simply let an opportunity like this pass, his own mysterious lapses in observation and dexterity notwithstanding.
