Eris thought Max didn't learn as he had already opened his mouth to respond to his first question, shutting it as he moved on. He couldn't really stop himself from rolling his eyes as he went on and on about how he didn't understand the intricacies of court politics and had little idea why Varis did the things he did and had set up the get together as such. Well, those weren't his exact words or what he had said, but he may as well have. Ignorance was such a dreadful thing to suffer from. 

[color=ccff99]"Yeah, the guy whose face is plastered on about a hundred thousand products is really 'nobody'. Sometimes you worry me, Wells,"[/color] Eris sighed.

He did, however, let out a tiny gasp of offense at one thing. [color=ccff99]"Do you think I do nothing but [i]lie[/i] to you?"[/color] He asked. [color=ccff99]"That's so hurtful, must you think so little of me, Wells? You're practically my right hand man right now, if I do nothing but 'lie through my teeth every time I open my mouth', it would really bite me in the ass when I need you to listen."[/color] He shook his head in disappointment, though he paused as he really thought about it. [color=ccff99]"...not that I don't see why you'd think that, but I'm serious, I avoid lying to you as much as I possibly can."[/color]

[color=ccff99]"Either way, we're going because despite my [i]nouveau riche[/i] ways, I run through plenty of noble circles so it's good practice for your future. as...whatever Ismene puts you in, we haven't ironed out those details just yet, but if you're ever attending me at one of those things this'll be your first taste at it,"[/color] Eris said as he double checked his own reflection. [color=ccff99]"Also helps that I love watching Varis at work. I hate that stupid Count Benniton and watching him go against all his mage-loving ideals as he tries to gain the favor of a [i]Sinnenodel[/i] is better than anything else that's on TV tonight."[/color] He had no trouble admitting that much, his disdain for the count way too obvious. [color=ccff99]"He apparently doesn't understand his place. It isn't enough that the princess threw some scraps from the bottom of the barrel in the form of that horrid-looking mage at him because he still thinks he's somebody, so Cuunt Sinnenodel will be reminding him where he belongs on the bottom of the totem pole."[/color]

And tonight he had just the little tidbit to prove it. Taking a glance at his watch, Eris grimaced as he figured they should get going. [color=ccff99]"Not that you care about anything I've said, I don't know why I bother explaining myself sometimes,"[/color] He shook his head, taking Max by the shoulders and guiding him out. [color=ccff99]"Grab the bottle and let's go, we're already running ten minutes early which means we're late in Sinnenodel time."[/color]
