“Then I guess we’re even. I didn’t quite present myself in the best light either,” Jalazmar laughed as he let go of Xyliah’s hand so he could make himself comfortable on the floor. He knew that wasn’t very lord-like of him, but he wasn’t really one to constantly stand on tradition or care too much about what others thought of him. He’d put on the proper show when needed but they were in his personal chambers for the time being and Xyliah might as well know she could relax around him. It was exhausting to constantly play at being respectable people!
“Since my brother abducted you, I hope I’m not keeping you from your evening plans.” He wasn’t quite certain what his own plans would be. Dinner, possibly even with Lord Therion, and then maybe retire early as he no doubt would have a full next few days with his parents arriving and getting ready for the wedding. “If I’m not, I wouldn’t mind you staying a bit so we can talk more.” They could start with mundane questions and move into the more important ones like why neither of them were married yet. He knew she had to be wondering about that, unless she assumed he was already widowed.
