Provided who or whatever is having its appendages forcefully amputated deserves it, I'll allow that to occur in either order.
You shall. I shouldn't be difficult to spot.
[No, he apparently has not had enough wine to think this isn't a terrible idea, yeah. He does abstain from fixing that, even though he's tempted. He does spend a good amount of time seeing to it his hair is perfect, that that the kohl around his eyes is free of smudges, that he isn't in need of a shave or anything so unsightly.
While he does want to make a good impression on Magnus, again it would seem, it's more than he simply always takes that care. It comes from a lifetime of required perfection. It also allows him to waste time, to assure he is not the one who arrives first. Would he stand Magnus up? No, certainly not, but it gave him a bit of peace of mind to know the option was on the table.
That and how would someone like him make a proper grand entrance if he was the one warming the table?]
