He'd not anticipated needed such a high quality of wine as Sorcha desired. It was good wine to be sure, but as she'd stated, 'the kind you humans enjoy' was apparently insufficient. [color=red]"I'm afraid I did not anticipate a dragon of such refinement, as such the wine may be lacking to your expectations. However, with your permission, I could... enhance the flavor."[/color] Alucard's tatoos glowed lightly, if she said yes he would activate his magic, enhancing her sense of taste that determined what things were 'good' and decreasing the sense that told her what things were 'bad'. The wine didn't have to be good as long as she thought it was good right? He would've done it anyway but he dreaded to think what she would do if she found out he'd magicked her without permission. Probably burn his insides at the very least. Alucard wondered if he should ask his question while she was still in a good mood from the steak she obviously loved or dare waiting until after she tried the wine, which she might still hate. If he asked after and she liked the wine it was good, if she didn't it was bad. If he asked before then she still liked the steak, and might judge her response on the wine's flavor, but also might not. Well simple enough when looked at that way. [color=red]"Though before that I do have one request for you Lady Sorcha. If you are going to participate in the upcoming The Magus Games, would you allow me to act as your servant for the duration of them?"[/color] A bold request from such a being and the possible repercussions were numerous, but having seen Iravis transform he'd realized that he perhaps wasn't on par with some of the people here. Quite a sobering thought. The reason he hadn't asked Iravis herself was mostly that he'd anticipated her either already having a partner, or murdering him for being presumptions enough to try. Which admittedly this one might do as well, but the odds of such a... confident person finding a partner so soon seemed rather low and at this point she was well bribed. At least if worst came to worst the medical facilities here were apparently fantastic.
