Rickon brought his hand up to his nose as he suppressed a sneeze before continuing.
"I would like to apologize to you profusely. I spoke out of line and rather frankly, I was rude. I know not everyone has had the luxury I have been given in my station of life and I should not assume everyone I will ever meet will have my training on formal etiquette. So forgive me."
Rickon then bowed his head slightly towards me and everyone turned their attention towards me.
"It's fine, honestly. I'm not fussed. Call it teen angst as your comment was a nothingburger."
Rickon gave me a nod and took his seat once more. I began to dig into the rich soup before us before I heard Elaine ask me.
"Apollo, were you really raised in a cave? That isn't an exaggeration of some sort?"
