Ah, Mansbane. Like your name on the network. ( look at him learning new ways for old words. he's not out of touch yet! )

Can I ask what makes it clever? ( leaving Licyn to make himself comfortable, Deimos moves to the stand beside his bed where a bottle of wine and two glasses sit. it took some convincing to lift these and bring them to his room, but he's had more difficult asks in the past.

he pours the wine and offers a glass to Licyn, should he want it. ) Sorry if that's too personal. I just thought I might try to get to know you while you're here.

( he offers a slight shrug with a haphazard smile. ) Or we can keep this as impersonal as you like.
