[ Iorveth hikes a brow, then straightens his posture in a distinct "get a load of this bullshit" sort of way. ]
The rumor has two heads. The first: [ He extends an index in the universal gesture for "one". ] That there are talks of marrying me off to some northern lord or lady as a gesture of goodwill and peace, and that the true reason for my prolonged absence from the north－ my assassination of Henselt and my actions against the Absolutist cult notwithstanding－ was largely to learn manners from Baldurian nobles.
[ A rumor that would be incredibly offensive if not for the fact that maybe like, only one or two people in Saskia's retinue who haven't personally met Iorveth believe it. (Hopefully. Gods.)
He raises his middle finger to accompany his index. ] The second: some believe that I've already been married off to a northern lord. They know nothing about him save that he has silver hair.
[ The corner of Iorveth's lips curl. ] A human with silver hair, naturally. [ To add insult to injury. The absolute horror. ]
