The Vizier looked at Lorenzo with a cold and calculating expression. He took a deep breath, composing himself before responding, and thus allowing the peanut gallery to chime in as they liked. To his surprise, that meek daughter of his garnered the courage to stand up and address him personally. 

He had initially narrowed his eyes in reaction to her final statements, but softened his expression when he had readied a reply to her. [color=gold] “Certainly…Lady Charlotte…[i]Let us try again then.[/i]”[/color] 

Hafiz returned his attention to Lorenzo. [color=gold] "My dear Lorenzo, it seems you have misunderstood the situation. I did not insult you; I merely addressed you with respect due to someone who has yet to earn his place at our table. What I said was not meant out of disrespect, but out of the certainty that you are, indeed, a fool. And a foolish man can be a very useful tool in the right hands."[/color] The Vizier stepped closer to Lorenzo, his turban gleaming in the light. [color=gold]" As for hospitality, you are correct. We do treat our guests with the utmost respect and care. However, hospitality is a two-way street. You have disrespected our customs and traditions since your arrival at the ball last night. You have insulted our people and our way of life. It is not for you to demand hospitality when you have shown none yourself." [/color]

The Vizier's voice became softer, his tone more persuasive. [color=gold]"But let us put this behind us. I am willing to forgive your transgressions if you are willing to learn our ways and respect our customs...Perhaps we can find a way for you to amend your ignorance and become a valued ally of Alidasht, rather than an insolent fool who does not understand our ways."[/color] He glanced toward Charlotte briefly before giving Lorenzo a predatory smirk only he could see. 

He then stood upright and addressed Charlotte. [color=gold]"As for you, my dear, I hope you will not take offense at our little disagreement. You are always welcome amongst our family, and I would be honored to show you the true beauty of our culture."[/color]

[color=gold]"Here, to show I did not mean offense, you keep the chair and I'll go sit over here.“[/color] Hafiz gestured to the seat next to his daughter, giving the faintest of smirks to Lorenzo as he did so.[/color]
