Is very much a holla-back girl.

"Thank you for the complements. I am enjoying myself, very much so. But... I think I will enjoy what happens after the party much more." He said, his eyes flicking to Eleanor. "Surely, a man of such power and charisma has a... special someone?" This comment was a jab at the steely Atratinus, and indeed there was some amount of sarcasm in Adrian's tone. Adrian new damn well about the Porcuan's wife.

Some nearby glanced to the conversation and moved away uncomfortably. Adrian was pragmatic and callous, and was willing to say anything to get Atratinus to show weakness.

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes."

"Yes, yes I do." Atratinus replied with the sharp, yet flat and even toned voice that gave him his terror. "She lives in me as long as I draw breath. And you do me too great a kindness...as I am a simple man from a small country to Europe's north."

Having to conjure up his long dead wife once more pained Atratinus more than Adrian could possibly imagine. Yet, he - this beast of iron nerve and will who had clawed his way through the forest that was Porcuian politics - showed little in the way of sadness or loss. Adrian wished very much to be the center of attention once again, so the Porcuian president was more than content in letting him bath openly.

That was his greatest weapon, after all; one who allowed himself to seem controlled was the one who controlled the easiest.

"I see a great and promising future for Brandenburg-Vorpommern, young Margrave, and I think your newly elected wife and your countrymen are wise to place their faith in you."

Atratinus' response was as calm as it was sinister. His expression and composure changed not at all and those nearby could have sworn that a shadow hovered over the proud and handsome Margrave.
