“I’m so sorry, m’lord,” the dark-haired servant stuttered, mentally checking his low-Archadian accent as the Rozarrian diplomat gasped and flailed, the man’s formal attire drenched now in pungent wine. Vaan whipped a kerchief from his purloined waiter’s uniform and deftly began swiping it down the front of Lord Marcos’s jacket. The emissary for House Trajen spluttered softly, swatting at Vaan’s hands, and Vaan smirked inwardly at the man’s own determination to remain inconspicuous through the incident. “Shall I retrieve you another jacket, sir?”

“Just go!” Lord Marcos hissed, slapping Vaan’s hand one last time before waving a hand in dismissal.
