Aulfr glanced at the Ardananian, sitting in her chair and watching him. He let out a small sigh- he was happy that things were finally underway, be he started to feel slightly uneasy around her. Uneasy? Or something else? ...Definitely uneasy. He waved her talk about the rumors away, saying, "And they will say what they will. It'll change nothing, besides making you into a more potent enemy."

He smiled at her, a suddenly thought appearing. "I'll even allow you to punch anyone who you think may be speaking against you, once. One hit, try not to kill them in the process." He paused, before tacking on, "When I'm Oberjarl."

He did fully turn to watch her eat, though. She ate like an animal- even he ate with more manners. The edges of his lips turned up at her demolishing a meal. Once it was apparent that she wasn't going to be taking any of the wine, he plucked it off the table and downed a third of it in a single swig. Letting the alcohol warm he, he went back to his position, watching the archers practice. 

On her comment about rabbits and mushrooms, he replied, "I can make an excellent stew- and as for bathing..." He waved over to the opposite wall, where a door, painted and textured to resemble the wall, in an attempt to not even be there. "Right in through that door. Feel fortunate- from what I hear, we're the first major establishment in the world that has some semblance of running water. It rains often enough, and servants fill barrels up with water, which they attach to a pipe in the room above. Little stiff though."

He glanced at her, giving a proud glance- Ardany was more traditional, while Noxus was always being impromptu or unconventional. They were the most open to ideas, sometimes. Also the most closed, at other times.
