[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6429262, member: 20323"] Even a fresh-off-the-boat Frenchman like du Tourbillon knows better than to speak of a dwarf's beard. Thus, he diplomatically crosses his fingers together, leaning forward on his elbows and nods deferentially to Hugo. [color=DarkOrange]"Indeed. My thanks, [i]Messieur.[/i] By...your monocle..."[/color] And here his eyes move from that unavoidable waxy beard to Hugo Van Haan's face. [color=DarkOrange]"...am I right to take you for [i]Meneer[/i] Hugo Van Haan? You were quite the figure in the Hague, or so I was led to believe. Surely you can a appreciate a 1701 [i]Année de requin des terres[/i]? The creature called the Bulette ravaged the Normandy countryside, but after its death, the turned soils from its passage made that first year's harvest incredible. The perfect balance of apple and pear..."[/color] While the man does seem to indeed be a connoisseur, it is evident he is stalling answer to Hugo's question. His voice grows a bit quieter. [color=DarkOrange]"...crispness and age...I brought it to celebrate once we come to accord."[/color] du Tourbillon sighs. No avoiding the question, it would seem. [color=DarkOrange]"His name is Emanuel Wynn. Though not my son by birth, I have always regarded him as such since his own father passed away."[/color] [SBLOCK=The Rules Box] [b]Hugo - Intelligence (history):[/b] Hugo merely recognizes the Reigersberg as a Dutch military vessel lost at sea in battle with the French during the War of Spanish Succession. Anyone with the Sailor background or who has fought in the Spanish War of Succession in the Caribbean can make an Intelligence (history) check to recall pertinent information about Emanuel Wynn. However, a high roll means you crossed paths with Emanuel Wynn as an enemy. [i]Année de requin des terres[/i] means "Year of the land shark" in French. [i]Meneer[/i] means "Mister" in Dutch.
