He shot a glance toward the Caesonian Princess, the person he had initially considered speaking with. [Color=gold][I]My, how things have turned.[/I][/color] With a shrug he replied. [Color=gold]“The liver is still certainly important. It can be the hardest working organ for some of us. Rarely getting recognition until the day it fails.”[/color] Despite the slight morbid detail Alexander took the opportunity to grab the flask Mina had passed him. He noticed her brush his hand, and his smile grew ever so slightly. [Color=gold]“It's men like us that the others want to doom. The freethinkers. The men that wish to see their country flourish by the sight of all its people, not just the wealthy.”[/color] Alexander took a hefty swig from the flask and handed it back to Callum as he winced slightly from the whiskey's bite. [Color=gold]“Forgive me, I myself am not the most spirited person.”[/color] He went along with Mina's wordplay before listening to Callum attempt to buy him into his charity event. He made some fair points, appealing to Alexander's voiced desire of making his name known amongst the people here in Sorian this season. [Color=gold]“Hmm…”[/color] He raised his eyebrow once more, considering the request before Callum engaged Mina next. He let their exchange briefly drown out as his eyes landed on Wulfric and the disgusting creature he was speaking to. He couldn't gather much from their expressions. Their conversation was either very mundane or the two were well practiced in masking their- yes. It was exactly that, as Alexander witnessed a break in Violet's composure. [color=#758173]"What do you say, Mr. Deacon? Shall we help make Sorian a better place for everyone?"[/color] Mina's question cut in just in time. [Color=gold]“We should, future countess but unfortunately I as an individual cannot put my name behind such an event. I simply lack the title and the funds needed to make your charity event the best it could be.”[/color] Alexander sighed as he placed a hand on Callum's shoulder, an apologetic expression spreading across his features. [Color=gold]“Every disgruntled liver needs a dependable gallbladder. And that, I cannot be.”[/color] Alexander gave Callum's shoulder a slight squeeze as he gave him a mischievous smirk. [Color=gold]“However…”[/color] He released Callum and cleared his throat. [Color=gold]“Esteemed guests of King Danrose 's Tea Party! I, Alexander Deacon, am proud to announce that the world-renowned Black Rose Trading Company will be the first to back and support Prince Callum's charity event for those in need within Sorian! The Black Rose has distinguished itself as the best of the best in trading, so I will ensure this charity event is nothing but the best!”[/color] Alexander announced joyously. His wife couldn't help but smile upon hearing his voice boom over the event. [Color=gold]“This event will be but an example of what the great Danrose royal family has to offer, not just for Sorian but for Caesonia! An example that even the Varian Kingdom can adopt!”[/color] he pointed his hand toward Sadie, placing many eyes on her and Drake's table. [Color=gold]“To help in this endeavor as I am sure many don't feel comfortable letting go of funds without a return, our company will be hosting a silent auction of surplus items of great value with a large percentage of the proceeds going to the charity! More details on that will be posted in the newspaper in the coming days.”[/color] Alexander performed a bow to the attendants before giving Callum a sly wink. [Color=gold]“How was that, Prince of Onions?”[/color] [/Color]
