Serving as host does tend to require deep pockets -- or scant hospitality. It sounds like you favored generosity over frugality.
[Snort] I will admit, I like that in a host... But perhaps in future I'll be able to contribute to any social efforts.
I'd tread warily when mentioning Gil to the Baron, if he hasn't shared that aspect of his life. He kept his son secret for many years -- during some of which I can state with certainty Gil himself wasn't aware of the relationship. After presenting his son to Europa as his heir, things have become complex, and depending on what he remembers, there may be some resentment regarding Gil's current divided loyalties.
Of which I can mainly say that you're probably lucky you don't "dally." [Sighs profoundly.] As complicated as I find my own affection for Agatha, Gil's puts him in direct conflict with his father. [Sighs again] Agatha's wonderful, but I have to admit her very existence complicates everything in some ways....
In any case, be aware it's a complex subject, and one about which the Baron may have strong feelings.
