Istradez slips right in to the open space on the couch, appearing quite at ease with the close quarters. He's been intrigued by the idea of rebellious Rahal since he first spotted them, and Sulen is especially interesting given their Andan friend. Not to mention, very attractive, and Istradez could use a distraction. He smiles at both of them as he settles into the couch. It's a bit warmer than his natural smile, but it reaches his eyes and usually has a helpful effect on people for this sort of thing.

"That's right," he says. "Sulen, if I'm remembering correctly? And Ashari? It's good to catch you here. I was hoping someone else would be up-- it would have been less than ideal to start on this alone." He produces a flask from his loose sleeve, and his smile quirks into a more mischievous cast.
