The Court of Aurora (Afina and Moore)

[Ebiris]

"I've seen Her Majesty propositioned many a time before. Often I've had to kill the one doing the propositioning, but I think you're safe. She's never reacted like that," Afina tells Moore, radiating quiet surprise.

"I certainly meant no... ah... hm. I meant no amorous intent by offering it to her. I just know that sometimes, people in her position can feel the burden of leadership in such a way that they have a difficult time even enjoying themselves." Moore explains. "But I am glad I asked nonetheless, though I hope it did not embarrass her. That was certainly not the intent."

"Intent or not, you made Her Majesty blush like a girl at her first formal dance," Lady Skye waggles a finger at him, "Let me warn you of one thing. If you hurt Her Majesty at all, you'll wish the devils got you instead. Do you understand me?"

[Nephrite]

Moore clears his throat and straightens his posture. "I completely understand. I have no romantic intentions with Her Majesty and will apologize to her later for putting her in such a spot."

Now she's just going to feel disappointed if she's that taken with him! "See that you do," Afina says, figuring she'll back up Skye here, she knows better about propriety standards in these settings. "Anyway, I should go freshen up my drink, I'll talk to you both later," she says, fluttering off for a refill and more mingling. Until she gets called over and ordered to kill someone anyway.

The celebration continues as everyone goes to mingle, losing themselves in the fun and pleasure of a good time.

Going to cut this one here, see the Kascha topic for why. As stated, we'll pick up on Sunday/Monday with the preparations to get revenge on Lixer.
