"Nay, I do not, my lady," he quips back, "Stealth has never been my strong suit, a fact I am quite aware of. The chase is far more appealing than to play than a waiting game," he's not thinking about other meanings for that. Or if he is thinking of other meanings for that, he's mostly meaning catching Tataru at her own game. He's fairly sure he can hear giggles from the other table as well. He turns more fully back to Y'tajha after a moment, though,
"I have not the patience for the rumormonger's arts," he's still laughing, making light of it, though he mock huffs a moment later, a bit over-acted, "So I fear she may continue to sully my good name among my men, unchecked," he cannot maintain the seriousness longer than a moment though and the grin he gives is lopsided, boyish, a little wicked, "Though, Fury knows, it's likely she does nothing more than repeat what everyone already knows."
