[Jim brightens to be Noticed by a pair of mages. Evokes as much of an aura of a companion hound being told they've done a good job as is possible to do in human guise. Had he a tail, it would be wagging right now, etc etc. The line about pity makes his gaze flicker downward meekly. A lesser knowing when to defer to his betters, surely. So well trained he is!

He almost opens his mouth at the woman's invitation, but a dig into his sleeve makes him turn to look to Never for permission first. It's only when she gives a dismissive nod of her head that he whips his head back around, positively beaming for any kind of enrichment. He can't know what's going on here, but really isn't that for the best?

His kind are to be seen and little more unless making their pretty voices ring out is part of the entertainment. ]

My lady. My lord.

[Jim sweeps a practiced bow with all the grace of a once-lordling.]

I do hope there's to be some worthy entertainment here this evening. My most gracious patron hasn't let slip a single thing about the details of tonight. She's been having too much fun teasing me while I try to guess.

[He gives them both the biggest eyed pleading look he can muster. Don't you just pity the simple fool?]

I've always wanted to attend a real altus gathering though, and my lady has been so very gracious to allow me in as ah. As an honored attendant of course. I am here by her pleasure and generosity. There's so many things here I haven't ever had the chance to try before.
