Adrian took a seat on his sofa and was soon staring as blankly at Rodolphus as if he had just started speaking Parseltongue. Rodolphus didn't seem to be asking any questions though so it would probably be best to continue listening and nodding.
"The auction? Yeah, it was alright. The only thing out of the ordinary was that I managed to snag the tierçon of cognac they offered." He smiled, enjoying the company of a rather pleasant, yet ever bewildering, Rodolphus. But his eyes strained for any sign of a reaction. "It was a bit pricey but still a wonderful addition to my collection."
He paused. Was that the right answer? His mind churned. Come on, Adrian, you dumb fuck, think of something intelligent. "But uh...no, nothing else, sir. Excellent champagne," he finished lamely.
