Rhamnus found himself torn between being terribly amused and terribly annoyed as Ulliendis began to ramble on about the trials and tribulations of life as a performing Harper. Clearly the young man wasn't taking this too seriously, and that did help set his mind somewhat at ease. Even if he was the sort to joke about serious matters, that was just another indication that perhaps he could be bargained with in some fashion.
The very casual comment about the food being tampered with did bring him pause though as Rhamnus quickly considered the taste and texture of what he'd just eaten, so far nothing seemed out of the ordinary. A quick check of himself seemed to indicate that as well, though it was possible it was something a bit more subtle. He didn't feel his heart doing anything untoward, his stomach seemed to be acting rather normally, the tiniest headache forming was likely from the fact that his jaw was clenched.
"Very deep pockets eh?" Rhamnus asked before leaning back in his chair again, studying the other man for a moment. "I'm almost curious about those wonders." Maybe the boy was just insane. That was a distinct possibility, he'd always heard Harpers were a bit off. But still, he didn't seem all that bad, even for having just pretended to poison him. He shook his head and chuckled slightly, finding his predicament more and more amusing.
He decided to opt for just giving a rather straightforward answer in the end as he shrugged, "It's really very simple. The cabinet holds things in it that I want and I'm too impatient to wait for someone else to open it for me."
