&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;* Seraph is with Tally&lt;br /&gt;
*** Olivia has joined #faeriegrrrls&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; \/me was serious about playing that game though.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph tests the waters ;)&lt;br /&gt;
* Tally goes along with it...&lt;br /&gt;
* Debbie has finally managed to get a dance in with Nikolai, and they come over to Seraph and Tally when they are done.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Debbie is now known as Rachel_&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; (snuick)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; (How about hanging your name there dead girl ;)&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; *nickserv* identify gimmix&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; (changing, and too late)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; Wow, you have pretty good taste.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tally drawls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia is a pretty Sidhe girl off in the distance. She has dark brown hair with reddish highlights and startling blue eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia is wearing a blue gown that picks up on her eye colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; What are you two doing?&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ pulls up alongside her brother and Seraph.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; (you there?  ^-^)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; nothing &lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph &amp;#039;s eyes glint mischeviously&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; well, look at what I picked out first, eh?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; (The sooner we get this done the faster we can move on to whatever is going to happen the morning after...)&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph says belatedly to tally&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; oooh, lok at her?&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph points out Olivia&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; she has pretty eyes&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ glances at the girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; (ww)&lt;br /&gt;
* Tally glances at the girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; Oh... yeah...&lt;br /&gt;
* Tally seems guarded.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia is making a beeline for the little knot, smiling hugely.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tally glances at Seraph.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; ...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; do you know her? :o&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; Maybe...&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph seems surprised :o&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; Rachel!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; I hope she didn&amp;#039;t get the wrong idea..&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; ..&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia has an infectious grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; oh.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph smiles&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph seems in a good mood and maybe slightly tipsy&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ turns and smiles back at Olivia.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Lady Olivia.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia hugs Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Good to see you!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; You too!&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia turns to look at the other people.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph waits to b e introduced&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; . o O (This is the most touchy-feely Tara Nar affair I&amp;#039;ve ever been a party to O_o)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; Oh... you *must* be Lord Nikolai.  No wonder she&amp;#039;s happy...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; I suppose I must be.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; (Hey, Meurig was a bit more into ceremony.)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; (Get used to it, not everyone is stuck on formality the way Diamond is.  ^-^)&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia swings towards Tally.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; 9MORWEN should be)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; Tally!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; (why?)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; . o O ( yeep :o What have I done )&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph clings to her boy&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; This is Lady Olivia of House Gwydion...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; (She always was before)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; (Yeah, even when *you* played her.)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; (She only hugged Rachel, briefly, and that was for a political reason)&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ says by way of introduction.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; (you don&amp;#039;t hug for political reasons!!!!)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; (n/m)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; Hi, Lady Olivia...&lt;br /&gt;
* Tally says weakly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph doesn&amp;#039;t get introduced, I guess :o&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia turns towards Seraph and smiles...&lt;br /&gt;
* Nikolai inclines his head politely.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; This is Seraph, a friend of mine.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; hello, Lady Olivia.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia &amp;#039;s eyes sparkle as she looks over Seraph.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph says politely&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; Hi, pleased to meet you.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia smiles warmly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; Care for a drink, anyone?&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia glances at everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;m quite alright, thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia curtseys acknowledgement.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; I think I&amp;#039;m good, but thank you&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ holds up a glass of wine she picked up by way of saying no thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Tally&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;m already tanked...  thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia shrugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Olivia&amp;gt; Suit yourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia smiles and heads back into the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ looks mildly amused.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;m not sure she needs any more, either...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; ...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; who is she?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; Now, now, play nice...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Lady Olivia, a friend of mine.  Usually quite levelheaded.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ glances up at Nikolai.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; I didn&amp;#039;t realize people were so... huggy in the High Court :o&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ shakes her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; They aren&amp;#039;t, in my experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I was taken aback when Her Majesty... was so familiar.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ admits.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Lady Olivia is just... happy.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ shrugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Aided no doubt by several cocktails.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; I guess so&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; But yes, the hugs are wearing a bit thin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; oh...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Lady Olivia will be joining me in Emerald Fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; We worked together in the Underground...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; well, that&amp;#039;s good, if you are already friends..&lt;br /&gt;
* Seraph nods&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; It will be good to have someone familiar around&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; You&amp;#039;d best get used to her...&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; But tonight might not be the best time.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; Oh had I?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Indeed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ says archly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; (Pause for Hazel&amp;#039;s turn, arr)&lt;br /&gt;
* Tally smiles weakly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; ...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Nikolai&amp;gt; . o O (What does *that* mean, anyway)&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ is just being silly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Seraph&amp;gt; (I think that is probably good enough for that anyway.  And it means Tally can ask Seraph about what was up later, if he wants.  or not ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; (we go our separate ways)&lt;br /&gt;
* Olivia smiles in a quite friendly fashion towards Seraph when she catches  glimpses of her over the course of the evening.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ approaches Michael once she has an opportunity to do so.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ curtseys.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Your Grace?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Good evening, Lady Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ says warmly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Good evening.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; It&amp;#039;s a bit of an odd court gathering, is it not?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Yes, I did notice some odd elements to the proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I am honoured that you came...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I would not dare to miss it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles shyly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I hope you have not been too bored.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Oh, certainly not.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I brought a book.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ laughs.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ laughs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ll have to remember that, next time...&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ says thoughtfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Years of experience speaking here, my dear...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Then I would do well to learn by them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I hope you haven&amp;#039;t been worn out by too many overly familiar ladies...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; There&amp;#039;s some life left in this old ghost yet...&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Don&amp;#039;t you worry!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Hardly fitting words to describe my grandfather!&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles warmly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I was hoping you might... do me the honour of... a dance?&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ asks, a bit awkwardly perhaps.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ isn&amp;#039;t sure how he&amp;#039;ll take it. ^-^&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Certainly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ says nonchalantly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ takes her by the hand.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ follows him onto the dance floor, hoping he doesn&amp;#039;t think she&amp;#039;s too... er, something.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ doesn&amp;#039;t really seem to be thinking about it all&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ is an excellent dancer, of course, having had ages of practice...&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ is pretty good, herself. ^-^&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Will you be staying until the morrow or returning home this evening?&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ asks as they dance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I will probably stay.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I have no pressing engagements tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Would it be possible to meet with Your Grace?  After breakfast perhaps?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Certainly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I will send a page.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ nods and smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; It is nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ says with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; We are family, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Indeed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I was disappointed that Her Excellency was unable to make it this evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Will you be seeing her in the near future?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Most likely.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ nods. You can tell she is saddened by the state of affairs with Diamond.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I am sorry to hear that the two of you are having difficulties.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles sadly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; She has her reasons, all of which are entirely valid, I&amp;#039;m sure...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Her reasons are her own...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; I would count it a great favour of you might give her my regards...&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ says with a small shrug.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Of course.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; And of course, Your Grace and Her Excellency would be more than welcome to come to Emerald Fields if you ever wished to do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; For a brief respite from the harsh northern climes, perhaps.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I do believe she thrives on those harsh northern climes, if she does not in fact create them!&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ says with a laugh.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Touche, Your Grace.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; &amp;lt;m&amp;gt; It&amp;#039;s going to be interesting...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I have every confidence in you, of course...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; But if things should ever prove more interesting than you&amp;#039;d like, you can, of course call on me.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles and lowers her eyelids modestly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Your offer is most kind, Your Grace... but, meaning no offense - I hope I shall not have to.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; As do we all.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ says sincerely.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ nods, and seems to be gathering her courage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ looks up and right into Michael&amp;#039;s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; &amp;lt;q&amp;gt; Your Grace... you have known her longest... is there anything about me... that is remotely like she was, when she was a girl?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; You have led a very, very different life, Lady Rachel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ nods, swallowing.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ sounds slightly sad.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ looks away.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; (The song ends, thankfully)&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ curtseys to the Duke.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Thank you, Your Grace.  I will see you tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; I look forward to it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles, managing to maintain her composure.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Good evening, Your Grace.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ says calmly and quietly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Good evening, my Lady.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Your Ladyship&amp;quot; if you wish to be formal.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ gently reprimands the Duke! :^D&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Michael_&amp;gt; Oh my dear... you wouldn&amp;#039;t like me when I&amp;#039;m formal.&lt;br /&gt;
* Michael_ winks.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ looks like she&amp;#039;s not sure whether to believe him... ;^)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Rachel_&amp;gt; Hmmm...&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ smiles thoughtfully.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rachel_ heads off into the crowd.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
