Yeah, guy's like a dog with a bone if you give 'im material, I bet.
[ Bones has never been happier to not be involved in the Gold Court's nonsense. The more he hears about Xenk Yendar, the less he wants to get involved in their antics. He rolls his eyes, sighing. ]
Your secret's safe with me, old man. I want about as much to do with Yendar as I want with the goddamned sun.
[ Which is to say: no offense. Though this is Bones, so he won't go that far. Gold Court has its own politics and he's sure Xenk plays an important role there, he's just not the kind of guy Bones wants to get involved with. But he doesn't mind Lockwood, not in the least, so he'd tolerate whatever the man wanted to discuss, ultimately. He makes for good conversation, and the dance was pretty fun even if you won't hear Bones say it.
The guy's weird, but Bones is weird too. It works out. He'll even let the hand on his shoulder slide, rolling his eyes like it's a great and terrible hardship. ]
And miss the rest of the party? [ He asks, dripping with sarcasm. He would rather take a stake to the heart than go back. At least Lockwood has given him an easy out. ] You have fun dancing and schmoozing. I'll keep your little words of advice in mind.
[ Lockwood did compliment his wisdom, that was very nice of him. Bones will take the words to heart and see if he can't teach his fellow Silvers how to play nice. Or at least... how to pick their battles better. "Nice" is not something most would accuse Bones of being. ]
