Well, that was certainly unfortunate. Rhamnus had hoped the delivery boy hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary but he very clearly had. The fact that he didn't seem bothered at all by it was a bit promising though. Even if he didn't appreciate the amused grin on that face. Now the question was what to do. He studied the young man, giving him a longer appraising eye, especially noting his rather trim build and the eye catching lines of his cheeks. At least the boy was handsome.
"Oh? Mystery fathers and new pregnancies in the Weyr? I'm afraid I'm not at all caught up on the gossip, perhaps you could tell me about it. I'm especially curious about the solved mystery. Perhaps you could tell me about it while we eat this... whatever it is you brought." Rhamnus declined mentioning anything at all about the cabinet for now, casually reaching behind him and grabbing onto the scalpel he'd wedged into it previously to yank it out. Once he had that in hand he tried to subtly deposit it on a shelf on his way to the desk to casually lounge in the chair at it, eyes still keenly fixed on the young man who had found him.
The young man seemed too amused by the situation, and that made things seem a little less serious. Still problematic, but perhaps salvageable. Rhamnus chewed on a thumbnail thoughtfully for a moment before nodding. "You seem like a rather uniquely reasonable individual, unless I'm terribly mistaken. I'm Rhamnus, what's your name?"
