"Really? You don't see why showing up alone to a banquet where everyone's going with distinguished members of the family would raise some eyebrows?"
"Bah, fine. I never cared for all this hoity-toity politicking, but if it's really that important to you..."
"Thank you, just... I don't know, go in your knight's armor or something. Just don't wear that atrocious overbearing peacock suit you always try to wear to these sorts of things."
"...Hmph."
