With a small nod the cup of rum is returned to the bar, while she remains completely oblivious to the presence of guards.
"Go home Andor. Forgive me, I am not of noble birth, although from a very powerful line of sorcerers. Spells of comfort seem to come naturally to me, and after all these years of being sent out and being used as a hammer for Osirian I would like to change sides.
You see, I was not always a woman. I happened upon a cursed item which has left me in my present state. Luckily I am still able to fulfill my family's expectations of me in finding a suitable partner for continuing our bloodline, and I know that there are many fine Taldon consorts. I am still learning the aristocracy but I am hoping my dowry of both riches and prodigious powers would be enough to have the less contrary accept me to such dinner parties as these. This is an appropriate discussion for the evening is it not?"
She floats high in the air and looks around at the other guests for a moment before gliding to the bar for an order of Elven Red. Once poured the cup begins to float and follow her as she coasts over to the Marquis. With a casual flip of the wrist she releases her hold her right scepter which remains steadily in place and picks up the cup of wine.
"Please forgive Andor, he gets scared easily and refuses to leave my side. It's so hard to find good help these days. Ah, Elven Red, it almost sounds sweet to say. Now tell me, Rummy dear, do you happen to have a knack at the arcane arts?"
She exhales loudly as she gets comfortable, sitting mid air.
