The Diplomat / The Waiter
"An excellent evening to you, Jean. Please, call me Duke." The greeting was reciprocated with a smile and a bow of his head. It was only proper to politely greet and inquire about the other person before broaching into your topic of conversation. Aside from manners Duke tended to like people as a whole and never minded spending a bit more time with them. Maybe it was his political work, maybe it was his extroverted and good natured disposition but a sincere interest in the people around him was ever present in his mind and the air he brought with him as well.
"It has been particularly peculiar tonight thus far." Duke seemed thoughtful about the events they'd found themselves in thus far. "Your various ventures have yet to find fearsome follies, yes?" The question was accompanied with a bright toothy smile.
