"Well he seems to be out, and I'm sure he'd rather the food not go to waste. Why don't you join me, have a bite yourself," Rhamnus said with a gesture towards the tray. People always tended to relax when they ate from what he'd noticed, it was why he kept a small supply of sweets in his office for those who were nervous around healers like young children. Maybe that would help smooth things over with this young man.
Though he supposed there were other options to put in his mouth besides food... Rhamnus eyed him again and wondered if he could try to make things a bit more pleasant and distracting. "Well, Ulliendis, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, though I'm sure there are better circumstances we could have met under. And performance you say?" The corner of his lips lifted as he added, "I've been known to dabble in performance as well, though I'm not sure you'd appreciate my particular skills. Unless the stories they say about Harper flexibility are true, that is."
He reached over to steal a piece of food from the tray to nibble on as he alternated his gaze between the young man and the doorway behind him as he considered his options. There was always trying to skulk away in embarrassment, but that didn't suit Rhamnus at all. Another option was to try and menace the young man into silence or perhaps even lash out, but again, that seemed like more work than it was worth. Ulliendis seemed curious and amused more than anything at the moment, and while curiosity could lead to terribly annoying nosiness, the young man didn't seem the sort to just talk. Otherwise he would have taken the bait regarding the gossip.
"As I mentioned earlier, you seem a very reasonable sort, I'm sure we can find some sort of way to keep this silly and insignificant trespass of mine under wraps, yes?"
