The fellow's eyes widened slightly at that, not used to the directness of this female elf, but all the same, he couldn't not break out into a smile.

"I thank Your Imperial Excellency for your kindness in the trifling matter of offices. A simple room with a chair and desk where I can hang my hat, if you would excuse the phrase, would be sufficient for my needs. Yes, thank you," said he with a slight nod of his head, hands loose behind his waist, in the exact position of 'at ease', just as regulations demanded it.

Always, a good thing, Imperial Navy Regs. Then of course, there was the offer of sharing a social drink with the Governor of the Administrate of Centripax - an unheard-of occurence! - though rumor within the uniformed community had it that she had been the beloved of the late, great, Imperial Marshal and Imperial Minister of War Motito Gil'dae - after having been ditched by his brother, or cousin, or whatever.

The guy had taste. Averting his gaze, and without knowing it, the Cencoris' inner respect for the old elf increased.

"...perhaps another time for the tour, Your Imperial Excellency." said he with a bit of hesitation. "Duty calls, as always." This much was true. Besides, what would His Imperial Ex say about that?

Another curt smile and nod.

"I know very little of the Administrate, ma'am, except for the fact that the dwarves, handy fellows that they are, have established quite the significant presence here, most particularly in Primus Gaudeo. I know for a fact that Primus Gaudeo was struck by falling rocks from the heavens, similar to what happened in Imperia, totally destroying the Concordia Incola, before it was rebuilt. I know that Midpoint was the temporary Imperial Capital when Her Late Imperial Majesty Audrey - may the Gods bless her - won that victorious battle in the Highlands against the Sentinels of that crazed mage, Julos - Jorel curse him and all his line forever - and I likewise have heard tell that Your Imperial Excellency was, at one time, Steward of the said fortress."

A smart cookie, Cencoris Fabian Hagen was, but he knew when there were some times that he was pushing it.

...But dammed if it didn't feel good when he knew that he was doing so.
