With his antics, Gray also succeeded in disgusting Roy.
"What are you supposed to be, a dog?" Roy rolled his eyes at Master Gray in disgust.
Sir Dale ignored Roy, who was making fun of the master tailor in his presence, and went up to Gray, helping him up to his feet, and with a calm face saying, "Please stand. A man of your status needs not to bow to me or any of us. It will be mistaken as us disrespecting you."
As he said, a master tailor had a certain status in the empire; although not as grand as a noble, they needn't bow in the presence of guards, or it will be taken as the guard bullying them.
Dale was afraid of false rumors spreading and didn't want to be involved in any drama, so even though Master Gray was on his last leg, he picked him up, hurrying him up to his feet. Only after did he turn to Roy.
