"Ah I see how it is. First you flatter and try to seduce my hands, but it's just a ruse to lure them close so that you can crush them and enslave me." Gangleri liked to think he was a good judge of people and could tell when they were pulling his leg, but he always had trouble with Quilriana. There was just something enigmatic about the banter she delivered that he always left him wondering how much of it was jest and how much she actually meant. He loved it, and it was a large part of why he kept coming back to the bar so he could spend more time with the woman who so often had the upper hand on him. He smirked at the thought and the terrible joke it made. "You are beautiful and dangerous, the perfect villain. Just make sure you give me enough notice so that I can bring sturdy gloves and make sure I'm nearby when it's time to go. I'm assuming we'll be catching a ride by dragon and that Bart won't have to race all the way down."
Gangleri tilted his head curiously as he listened to her talk about her dragonrider friend, noting that she did not directly confirm or deny any of his suspicions. Still, it was enough for him to be a bit more sure of his notion at least. So long as the dragonman treated his favorite barmaid well that was fine. It wasn't really any of Gangleri's business after all. Still, knowing something wasn't his business and being curious were completely different things. He spotted a potential move and decided to try for it, employing a bit more distraction. "That is a good reason for him to stay in Fort then. Have you considered trying to open a bar down there? You'd be closer to the children and to your friend." He grabbed the bishop, moving it to try to get into a better position to strike deeper into her ranks. "Or is the competition too fierce?"
