[During Peace's little rant, the waiter returns with the bottle of merlot. Brandishing two glasses, he silently pours them each their fill before taking the bottle away once more. Eridanus' attention remains undivided though, his gaze fixated on the girl before him with curious interest. Despite being in Ryslig for months, the diversity in those he met has yet to cease amazing him.
At her conclusion though, Eridanus chuckles warmlyโthe sound akin to a father entertaining his child's excited rambling.]
Do not fret, my dear. [The words are a honeyed purr over the rim of his wineglass,] I am well aware that people are not who they associate with, though more spiteful creatures may disagree. People may only be measured in their own actions, ultimately.
[And with that, he takes a leisurely sip of his wine, savoring the bitter bite of it as it coats his tongue. His sip punctuates with an indulgent sigh, and he continues as the glass is lowered back to the table.]
So, with that, I say indulge in your selfish desire. Neither of us rely on souls to feed, so what does it matter to us? Just don't come seeking any allies when your altruism comes back to bite you.
