Message: <blockquote data-quote="doghead" data-source="post: 1968570" data-attributes="member: 8243">Xavier bows when appropriate and responds to the Baron's greeting with due respect. Of course, he has heard stories about the Baron, many of them unflattering. But Xavier has resolved to hold judgement til he has seen enough with his own eyes to know for himself. Indeed, as far as the church is concerned, he is not really here to judge at all. And everything he has seen so far suggests that the Baron is an intelligent and determined man, not to be taken lightly and underestimated at your own peril.For the moment, he puts aside his confusion about the Baron's appeaance as best as possible, noting it for further consideration. He does his best to meet the Baron's gaze levelly and calmly. He is not here to challenge the Baron, but he cannot but help be conscious of the difference in the weight of experience and power between them.Once invited to do so, Xavier outlines his reason for being here. His intuition suggests* that the Baron is not a man particularly fond of flowery language and and aimless wonderings in the Garden of Extravegant Praise. So while he keeps his presentation otherwise succinct and to the point, ** he acknowledges the church's respect for the Baron's orderly stewardship and the ArchBarony's significance in the kingdom. Perhaps here he allows himself a little cautious flattery. The Baron's careful attention to his dress and pride in his appearance suggest that he is not completely without vanity.OOC: * Thats my reading. Please modify it accordingly if Xavier's would be significantly different, or if he has been advised otherwise etc. Thanks.** Which is that the church desires to re-establish its ties with Mornomas and the ArchBarony I believe.</blockquote>
