Yes, that sounds about right. My suspicion is this is a power play. They heard about the little competition between me and my sister and want, or rather, need to be the first to act on it. As such decorum takes second place to being the first. I imagine that the first and second son of Goynus would be too tightly watched to make such a move uninterrupted by their political rivals, or perhaps he is making the move on his own initiative in order to secure a more advantageous position for himself with in his family. I'll need to parse together the details at some point if it prompted such a move. Perhaps he'll give me something in this conversation to shed some light on that. Or maybe I'll have to send one of the Eyeblight's to inquire on what is going on over there if my mother hasn't acquire what I want on her own.
"I do so love exotic fruits, such a fanciful gift," I flatter him for his choice while tipping off the Eyeblights to our conversation, as I might need their assistance relating to it in the future, "You, Sir Gralwinn, must have been quite the rush to get these to me in such good condition, and I must admit I am at a loss on why would would go through such efforts for little me." There is something about noblemen, regardless of culture, that just love a cute meek little girl, that tends to make them want to brag and otherwise show off. Let's see if I can get him to do the same. After all, I do love a conversational partner who talks too much. They tend to accidentally drop juicy tidbits without even realizing it, while informing me about their personality and preferences which I can use later.

Me- "Posh, shame is for fools and people with friends... we need no such things, we have the internet."
