place approximately two hours after Dinner Conversation.
An Irresistible Catch “Your brother is like a Phoenix, don’t you think, Miss Relena? A glorious, blazing bird rising high.” “Why are you here, Dorothy?” Guests circulated around them, the rising hum of conversation filling the ballroom almost to the point of drowning out the orchestra. Relena was soon to open the dancing with her brother but she had taken the opportunity to head for the powder room, thankful a small private room was set aside for her. It was rather a surprise when Dorothy had slipped inside the circle of her bodyguards, tucked her arm close and beamed at her. “Why, Miss Relena, I thought I would pop in to see how everyone is doing. Did you realise how many people I know from the old days are resident in Sanc? Everyone of interest seems to forgive the climate and congregate here.” “Indeed?” If it was not the height of impropriety she would wrench her arm away and tell the woman exactly what she thought of her. “The good with the bad, Miss Relena. We must take it all in stride. I see Lord Richard is here. Nasty package, that one. Gambles, you know. He has run up quite a debt and has only a set time to cover his losses.” Relena blinked, startled and Dorothy used the distraction to hustle her through the last of the gathering and out into the foyer. “I take it we are going to the ghastly blue loo? They should redecorate it.” Dorothy glanced at the glaring bodyguard and smiled sweetly. “You can wait outside. We don’t need you to help us with our skirts, dear.” “Dorothy, behave yourself.” She really had forgotten just how trying on the nerves Dorothy could be. “Ah, but I am much worse when I am bored. At the moment I am entertained and you really do not want to see me bored. We need to have a chat about old times and that delicious piece of male flesh. You know the one, tall, blonde and oozing sex without trying?” Relena grated her teeth. She was doing it deliberately, of course. It was Doroth’s specialty and she did it with flair. “One should not speak about the King that way. It’s not seemly.” Dorothy sniggered. “But true, you have to admit that. He’s a Phoenix, not just gorgeous plumage but plenty of substance to go with it and he makes a habit of rising from the ashes to new heights. An irresistible catch for the dull flamingos who think they can shine beside him.” “What do you want?” “I told you, we need to have a chat and since you have to go back in just a few minutes we need to hurry.” Dorothy glanced at the bodyguard who was looking with an arched eyebrow at the Princess Royal. Clearly he wanted to remove her and was asking consent. “Don’t even think about it, sweetie. We would not wish to cause a scene, would we, Miss Relena?” End |
