[Urianger furrows his brows, giving this a good long think. He'll not even be distracted by Thancred's ever-charming imitation of his speech, thank you!]
Prior to thine own question, I held utmost certainty in mine desire to knoweth the answer. Presently, doubt ensnareth mine curiosity with sharply clawed fingers.
[Because SURELY it's bad if Thancred is asking him if he's sure.]
Mayhap the phrase ringeth true: ignorance is bliss.
[The gears are turning quite strenuously in that big brain of Urianger's. So well-read, and yet he might be denser than all those stars he summons strength from combined.]
Surely if one's wish is but to strike conversation, there lieth a multitude of subjects with which to approach.
Staking one's claim is assuredly odd, for riveting discussion need not be limited unto a pair. What ever dost thou
[And then it finally hits him with all the force of a Warrior's axe. His face and ears turn such a stark shade of red that Thancred might be able to spot the glow from wherever he is.]
Thancred.
How might one politely decline such claim? Wouldst thou thinketh it unforgivably rude were I to expeditiously flee?
oh, if you're hoping for a lively chase, then certainly
how shall i put this, urianger daresay their interest in you is not rooted in your suave comportment or roguish debonair if you run no doubt they'll pursue
Pursuit! Heavens forfend! Mine strength lieth squarely upon scholarly pursuit than any inklings towards athleticism!
[Which is not to say Urianger isn't in good shape; he can most certainly keep up with Thancred well enough when they're sprinting through danger. But he is not made for being chased, which is why Thancred does the whole "getting chased" thing for him. It's also not lost on him, Thancred's little "I would" and calling him a "skittish thing". Can those ears of his possibly turn any redder?]
Prithee, I wouldst ever be in thine debt. I implore thee to liberate me from this dreadful nightmare of social entrapment!
first, feign to answer your linkpearl next, say something aloud in the affirmative thrice, leaving a conversational pause after each next, conclude with mentioning you'll see your caller soon
add an endearment if you care to be bold about it
then get up and leave but just as you reach the door, turn back to the room waggle your fingers aloft to flash the gold of your rings

staking their claim, as it were
as well you should! also (1/2)
