His tone is ascerbic.A glance at first the pseudo-elf and then the unusual woman.  "As I presume you to be individuals of talent, due to your presence in this hall with myself, then you will understand why I am loathe to proclaim immediate and heart-felt friendship with any here." He taps his fingers together, looking at Jonas. "Sir, your presumption of hearty familiarity cannot be honest, as we know nothing of each other in the personal sense, and so I find my own candidity prevents me from obliging you.  If you were indeed forthright in your declaration, then you are a fool to confide so quickly to a total stranger, and dangerous to those already your friends.  In either case my suspiscion is justified."  The voice echoes from some far corner of the room. "As for you, my Lady, be careful in piercing the secrets of others so quickly.  You give up significant advantages in doing so, and may alienate beings of power.""In any case, if we are constrained to spend significant amounts of time with each other, it may be that professional consideration may grow into comraderie, which in that case would be honest and true." With a flourish, he bows to each of them. "I am Corund."</blockquote>
