Right, right. [He rolls his eyes as he fetches his blue coat. He took it off earlier when he was assigned to swab the deck. He refuses to get those fancy cuffs dirty.] When negotiation fails, the threat of violence always works.

[Bastien sighs quietly as he shrugs the coat on. He looks a little different with this fancy royal blue coat. Less like a scrawny whelp and more like a dignified noble but there's nothing noble or aristocratic about Bastien. He's just "pretty", too pretty.]

Alright, I'll humor you. Lets have a drink and talk this out, this time without any fire or knives.
