[he does, if only because he has been smiling the past several decades in the faces of tar-calion and his court. but with better intentions this time-- or rather, not much intention at all. he isn't planning to send her on a suicide mission to aman, in any case.]

It is to be a greeting, nothing more. And are not greetings meant to be such, in polite company? [nothing more, nothing less. he takes a moment to readjust sleeves over bare hands before picking up the bowl again, more carefully this time, still smiling and still watching.]

[inafadingcrown]

In polite company, yes.

[Her emphasis making it abundantly clear that she does not consider him such. Still, it was best not to stand gawking. She'll make her way to the counter with a feigned nonchalance and half-heartedly look through the food herself, never quite taking her eyes off him.]

I will admit, you are among the last I thought to meet in this place.

[lordof]

This is meant to be polite company. [or neutral company, at least. neutral territory. even so, neither is he foolish enough to let one such as her out of his sight.]

Nor I you, Lady. But we are here, in this place, and I have heard nothing on the matter of leaving.

[inafadingcrown]

[She turns to face him, narrowing her eyes and pursing her lips.]

You forfeited all right to expectations of civility long ago. [A beat] Yet, as you say, it seems we are forced together by circumstance. [The words leave a bitter taste in her mouth, but she's not even going to pretend she's capable of taking him on alone, even with Nenya. For the moment, the name of the game is patience- to watch and to wait.]

[lordof]

Your kind, [thinly, but evenly.] deemed it forfeit. But you are only one, and I have not lost the ability to be civil.

[nor the ability to be otherwise. but he chooses civil, because to do anything else would be stupid and foolish. and he is neither.]

Neither have I reason to be anything but civil, here. Yet. [narrowing his eyes, and taking another spoonful of goop. or stew. whatever it is.]

[inafadingcrown]

I do not doubt your capacity for civility, nor your charm. It has been long since we spoke thusly, face to face, but I have not forgotten Annatar.

I forget nothing. [And he's racked up a rather large list of grievances.]
