Jherek felt somewhat offended at being told to go- he'd been trying his best to be helpful, and, he'd thought he'd earned a few questions.

He stood and replied, "I offer my deepest apologies if I have inconvenienced you, sir. I will go, but I think I'd rather find someone to make love with." He smiled politely, and left in a cloud of flimsy white fabric, intending to do just that, and not excluding the house-elves as a possibility.
