He wanted to catch your interest. “But what does this mean for the test, Archbishop? Everyone knows how strict but fair you are. Should I step aside? Or try a different challenge?”
“It’s a disappointment that you utterly failed, but I won’t allow such a beautiful diamond in the rough as yourself to slip out of our hands. I’ll vouch for you, but you’ll have to step up. I won’t let this mischievous pearl get away with sabotaging your efforts to keep you for herself.” The Archbishop plays it off as you doing an unorthodox recruitment tactic. She’s only doing this to upset you and to not acknowledge your threat.
“Oh, I feel flattered. Have I really caught your eye, madam?” Velenius bows to you.
“You’re not allowed to change allegiances, Hamerling.” The Archbishop seems as threatening as when she talks with you. Both are aware of who you are.
“I wouldn’t dare without your blessing, Milady. But I’ll always extend my friendship to those beautiful in heart and body.” Velenius tenderly smiles at you. He’s flirting.
“Enough, Hamerling. We’ll arrange a meeting with our friend at another time. How about a coffee date? I’d love you to accompany us on our sweet hunt.” The Archbishop offers, acting like she wasn’t threatening you moments ago.
“Sounds lovely. Can I join you now?” You accept immediately to annoy her.
“Ah, like I said, at another opportunity…” The Archbishop pretends this isn’t awkward. Velenius can perceive how little you two like each other and he’s enjoying watching it. “Hamerling, let’s move on.”
Unless you want to keep bugging them, this is the end of this.
