Ah, Varis must have been getting obvious is even At his question, he gave him a shrug. [color=ccff99]"The princess' prime rule has always been to interfere once blood is spilled. Some people want to push themselves past what the academy allows...sometimes they want to practice beyond just disabling their opponents. You know, just mortals-trying-to-take-their-anger-at-their-lives sort of thing,"[/color] He said, shrugging. [color=ccff99]"I don't really know much about the supposed partner, but who knows. If she's hanging around someone like that, maybe she got roped into it. Those types never really have a backbone, so if she was bullied into it or got a particularly mean look thrown her way, I could see it happening."[/color] Actually, hearing that the Eve mage got roped into the rumor was probably the highlight of his night. He loved gossip. [color=ccff99]"You'd be surprised how often people throw information and rumors my way for free. Anything to get my attention, I suppose...it comes in handy,"[/color] He admitted that much. As for the first comment, he debated on whether or not to respond. Eh, he may as well. [color=ccff99]"He's definitely plotting something, but you're mistaken if you think it's against me. He's going to show the little Eve his place,"[/color] He corrected him. [color=ccff99]"You see, he's taking advantage of the fact that he's gathering the other nobles to flaunt his position as both heir and the holder of the sole male heir of the Starag line. To vampires, it's a double whammy of sorts. The mage-loving Marivaldi is still probably drooling at the fact that a Sinnenodel got a royal mage, the not-so-secret mage sympathizer gets reminded who's on top, and the Astorio...I don't know, he's a nobody as it is, but it's collateral damage, I guess."[/color] [/indent][hr] [sub][right]Styling up [@Scribe of Thoth] against his will[/right][/sub]
