Gangleri still hadn't gotten over the immense kick he got from introducing people to Quil as his wife. Why yes, this powerful dark sorceress queen was his wife, thank you, he knew he was incredibly lucky to have convinced her to marry him and enrich his life with her presence. And yes, of course she was a much better wife than yours. Not that Gangleri ever said such things directly, but he was sure the point got across. It was his right as a Harper after all, in fact part of his job sometimes, to act so terribly smug about things. He always reigned it in when she gave him that look though, the one that very plainly said that was quite enough. As much as he enjoyed the show, he did also genuinely adore the woman and didn't want to grate on her nerves too much.
That was why he had not objected to her skipping out on the party, even though it would surely mean his demise if the young ladies couldn't keep their hands off of him. He'd probably be fine though, K'dar would be back after dropping her off and his presence would probably be enough to keep at least Mylorah in check. He hoped.
He had secured a glass of wine for himself and was sipping it as he watched the dancers when a familiar face approached him and he raised an eyebrow. "Ullie?" What was he doing here? Gangleri had heard that his former student left the Hall a year ago, spent time lazing about his house with Geric, and then... where had his younger brother said Ullie had gone after that? Ah yes, to Fort Weyr. If Ulliendis had gone to the Weyr to become a candidate that would certainly explain why he was here, but then why was he asking about the Hall? Unless this was a deep cover assignment.
Gangleri studied the young man for a moment, taking another sip of his wine before asking, "Should the Hall have sent me? I was just here to support a friend."
