"Hale, my lady," he rumbles, half-rising to incline a bit in a gentlemanly bow. "Master Wher-Handler, and handler of green watchwher Halsk, at your service. And I apologize for having been so ill-behaved as to forget my introductions previously." Sitting again, he resumes the companionable smile. The drudge returns quickly, and Hale takes the bottle with a gracious thanks before carefully re-filling his wine glass, the economy and grace of his movements suggests a long experience with the action that no longer requires conscious thought. In fact, his eyes never leave Rinali to monitor the bottle, and yet not a drop is spilled. Re-corking the bottle with an elegant flourish, the elderly man takes a thoughtful sip and gives a soft, appreciative sigh before tilting the glass ever-so-slightly towards the queenrider. "Perhaps you would like to try this, madam?" he inquires politely, and though he smiles and seems sincere, there is some underlying sense that the question is more out of courtesy than a genuine desire to share his wine. Hale has always enjoyed his alcohol a bit too much. And yet, the Healers have said before that it is good for the heart, and they have also told me that my heart is indeed a weak one. Would not that which does good to the common heart in their moderate amounts do more good to my uncommon heart in larger amounts? he chuckles to himself, knowing the fallacies in his reasoning (for Healers do seem to like explaining to him why he should abstain from his one remaining pleasure), but disregarding them anyway. "Oh! And once again, I have been unbearably rude. Pray tell me, my lady, what is your name?" This question is genuine, his voice bright with curiousity.
