Erich slowly, cautiously rose back to his feet. He couldn't help himself, try as he might he could not rid his face of that small smile. So THAT'S the line.
"Of course Deputy Connery, as you wish." Erich took slow, deliberate steps back around the table towards his chair. He stands in front of his chair, waiting for the Deputy to return to his seat, just like a good Invictus would. "I apologize for raising your ire Deputy Connery, and for leaving you to suspect I could be up to some treachery Madam Herald Villiers. That was simply intended to be a demonstration of a small measure of my powers of persuasion. I believe Madam Herald Villiers that you have a better understanding of my talents now. Perhaps, you have a small task that your too busy with, one that I could complete for you. I humbly offer my services in desire to prove that I can be of use to the Prince's Royal Court, and should be allowed to remain in this Domain for an extended period.
