Yuan watched her go before he looked back at Arias. He shrugged. "Just remember to never make such a mistake before Tiberius... He's far stricter than I." Yuan inclined his head as he turned to go, heading towards a table that was nearby. The servants were already prepping it, setting the food out. He let Victor speak with Arias behind him, having fallen silent.
"I only wanted to make sure you were safe.. I realize the omegas out here are far from being as kind or sweet as they like to act. They are royals, nobles and generals, torn from their homelands... And higher ups aren't the nicest of people generally." Yuan was a fine example of this.. The omega carried a dagger and possible more and he wasn't afraid to pull it on someone and threaten their life.. The look in his eyes from earlier when he had questioned his authority only served to prove the man was more than willing to have slit his throat then and there.
They went to take a seat. The servants had revealed the dishes to them and Victor frowned. "It's a bit much isn't it?" Maybe not for Yuan.. The omega looked like he was eating for quite a few children. Perhaps two or three? Maybe even four. Yuan smiled. "If you wish to invite your servants, be my guest... " Yuan's servants had taken their seats and started eating. Victor was surprised he was letting them eat, though it seemed like Arias was still standing. "Come now, Arias. You already turned down my other offer... And yet I am a far more benevolent leader than Tiberius. Join us while Tiberius isn't here to tell you that servants should stand while their master's eat." Victor looked back at his own servants... He wasn't sure he wanted to call them servants. He nodded for them to join as well so they sat down. "Thank you, my lord.." This was the old woman from before. His guard grunted and the young woman shakily thanked him as though she couldn't believe this was happening. "No need to refer to me as 'my lord'. I've no intentions of appearing better than anyone here.." Victor insisted.
Yuan smirked, seeming amused at Victor's choice to be fair, but he said nothing. Yuan may fancy himself being above others, but he was fair enough to let them dine with him.

Tiberius gave a rather dismissive wave of his hand. "Perhaps.. But I've got pets of my own that I value above this one." He said. Ivar had come to stand beside his seat which was elevated above the other seats. He only awaited the moment that he took the creature out. It had been amusing, siccing the beast on others, but he realized the gryphon was getting old. If this one really was as strong as he said, he should be able to end it with relative ease.
Turns out he didn't even have to wait as long. He exchanged glances with Ivar, the two of them impressed with his speed in taking the beast out. "A marvelous show." Tiberius said, clapping slowly as he rose to his feet. "However quick it was, I must say you did very well. Much better than previously expected." He looked towards Ivar and the other guards that were gathered around him. "I'm more than willing to extend an invitation to you to join the royal guard. Your induction will have to wait until tomorrow, perhaps at dawn.. But you're free to head to the barracks to notify the captain."
