[The brief performance of feigned devotion Altius puts up is an amusing one. Because that is what what Richard believes he is seeing happening here. The man is far too perceptive and skilled at talking without telling much about himself. A quality he saw a lot in the power hungry lords at the court when they were not too busy kissing his brother's royal arse. Now, it was too soon to make any conclusions based on their brief interactions, especially since at least on the surface level his companion had not given him any reason to doubt him. But the game of scheming was something Richard excelled at and he had seen many players in his life who'd try land on the top.]
I see. I suppose you have my answer then. [A silent 'think what you will' goes unsaid behind Richard's words. And then just like that he reached to pick up a card and reads the question: "how do you know you are not dreaming right now?"
Ridiculous.
He then places the card face down on the discard pile and returns to lean on his hands.]
