What in the world was Ulliendis up to? It was clearly something since he was giving Gangleri a look. He blinked, tilting his head curiously. Clearly Ullie thought something was up, and for some reason didn't believe him. Though that still didn't bring any clarity to the situation. It was possible that the runaway Harper had people in the Hall pestering him and trying to get him to come back, but it was just as possible that the runaway was a cover and he was being pestered for updates.
If Ulliendis was still working just in a more subtle capacity, then Gangleri didn't want to interfere. But then if he was on the run then he should probably just reassure the lad that everything was fine, he really was just there for a friend. And then Ullie had to bring up Quil and the decision was made for him. Gangleri had to fuck with the kid now. His lip twitched into a smile and he glanced around before leaning in and saying, "Come on, Ullie, you're better than this. I used to be able to tell people you were one of my brighter pupils."
He rolled his eyes a little and shook his head before casually looping an arm around the younger man's shoulders and steering him even further away from the party towards more seclusion. "I'm honestly surprised it took you this long to make contact, though I will say it was nice to be able to enjoy dinner and the party a bit more. There have been a few whispers as of late, inquiries. You're being sloppy, Ullie, you were taught better than that. Try to keep things a bit more subtle."
