He rose back to his paws calmly, giving Jerseyboy an even look for a moment before he inclined his head softly. "Drinks are in the Observatory. But I would re-consider what your priorities are, sir." Perhaps the title was sarcastic, his words far from necessary, but this was a fact he was well aware of, his gaze dropping to Melody for a moment as he turned once more.
