Re: The Path to the Throne
Ethan waves off Ocelevos Delgarias' offer to speak, and settles into his seat at the table, scanning the faces with a neutral expression and favoring those that he recognizes (including the blue-robed man) with a small smile. He mentally notes the introductions of the other nobles-- at least he was not the only one whose identity was made public.
Delgarias had introduced himself, but none of the others. It seemed likely that senior members would know of the new arrivals, but could retain their own privacy. That combined with the... efficient... security arrangements gives him both confidence in the Heads' ability to maintain secrecy and concern that he is but a pawn in a larger game.
Ethan responds to Lord Loss's small talk with only a curt nod, and he pockets his ring when it is offered to him-- in his right pocket, of course.
As Loss rambles inanely about poison, Ethan holds out his holy symbol and mutters a brief prayer over his meal before he eats. It's very likely that it did no magical good, but it was a habit he maintained fastidiously-- and perhaps Garl Glittergold would look down favorably on his machinations. At any rate, if they'd wanted him dead he'd be dead, and if they wanted him enchanted they would do it somewhere where magic worked.
At a lull in conversation, he turns to Juno. "A pleasure to see you here, m'lady. A most interesting assortment of people are dining with us, are they not? It is especially a pleasure to meet you yet again, along with the mighty dragon." That last he adds in slightly sarcastic Elvish.
