"Well it still looks absolutely delightful then. Just because I don't remember doesn't mean you're any less beautiful." Gangleri gave her a grin and a wink, and Fret gave a little happy chirp before climbing up to perch on his shoulder. Ah, but bars were always the best when the proprietors recognized you, he mused as she went to bring him food and drink.
The warm stew was especially lovely after such a cold day, and he found himself hungrily wolfing it down. Hot food and cool ale did wonders for the soul and by the time Quilriana joined him the stew was gone, the ale had a significant dent, and Gangleri was feeling just a little less stressed. "It's... complicated." Except it wasn't really, not in the least. He scratched at his beard as he amended, "Not complicated. I'm sure I've mentioned one of my rules... the one about who I don't sleep with? Well, I broke it."
He took a long sip of his ale as he mulled it over. "I'm not sure it's as big a deal as I think it is, but I'm also not sure that my judgment isn't a bit clouded because I did have quite a fun time. What do you think? Am I just being led astray by baser instincts or should I look into possibly amending my rule a little bit? Honestly a part of me still feels guilty, even without the rule. I feel like I enjoyed myself a bit too much. It wasn't the first time I've had a nice distraction since she died but..." he shrugged without finishing the sentence.
