[ A Silver Court youngblood, was not a sufficient threat (in Lockwood's bias opinion) for him to take the dagger seriously. As such, he does not seek a riposte, simply allowing the rapier to come back into position without any further advance.
He does recognize the name, though he doesn't react one way or the other because Elias has raised a much more pertinent fact. They are being watched, by impressionable eyes no less and while Lockwood enjoys the spotlight he can see the wisdom of Elias' concern. Novices were known to take things too far, and while Lockwood could be measured in his thrall use it was not wise to assume the same of his audience.
There is a pause, a beat and then the rapier is artfully twirled backwards and sheathed at his hip. ]
None taken. [ He responds in a merry tone, and one that actually sounds genuine. Make no mistake, Lockwood can hold a grudge with the best of them, but this is not an instances that warrants a continuation of hostilities. Elias' logic is sound, and while the Gold Court youngblood was arrogant, he tended to save that arrogance for serious threats. Elias may have the name, but Lockwood did not regard him as a serious threat. ]
