It's always cute when a novice tries to beat you at your own games. The turn away, the attention to the scarf, the sudden mention of Vai - it's enough to make you want to laugh and pat him on the shoulder, to declare aww, how quaint. Instead you keep your expression schooled, quietly neutral but for the glitter of mischief in your eyes. "Has she now?" you ask, as though surprised. "Well, that does change things."
It doesn't. But y'know.
You've put the fan down, and now you move over to a set of brass rings set with different semi-precious stones, each of which you hold to the light. Fakes, the lot, but convincing. "Ya didn' answer my question, 'Biter. Whaddya want with someone like me on yer council? We ain't th'best'a friends, historically speakin'."

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
