RAW 2nd SOLO

(19:19:50) Narrator: So, this would be after you've returned inside with Aden... oh, I might need another window for this, sec. (19:20:20) NPC [curtana@bas3-windsor12-1128727568.dsl.bell.ca] entered the room. (19:20:30) NPC is now known as Aden_ (19:21:25) Narrator: Guillame, as you converse with Aden, a woman approaches the pair of you. You recognize her as Portia Larache, Duchess of Corcyra, one of the most prominent and prestigious members of your House (and unmarried, as your mother would no doubt point out were she here!) (19:21:45) Narrator is now known as Portia (19:22:06) ***Portia Larache is widely reputed as a great beauty, one of the most lovely women in a hall full of perfectly adorned and coiffed ladies. Her hair is honey-blonde, piled in such a way that it looks like it might spill down at any point, and yet somehow it doesn't. (19:22:06) ***Guillame bows (19:22:12) ***Aden_ does as well. (19:22:36) ***Portia is tall, with a perfect figure that is only enhanced by the slim waist and full skirts of her pale green crepe gown. (19:22:47) Portia: M. Olivier, a pleasure to see you here. (19:23:01) Aden_: And you, your grace. (19:23:40) ***Guillame waits politely (19:23:44) Aden_: May I introduce my friend, Guillame Rionet? (19:23:58) Portia: Oh, of course, M. Rionet. Your lady mother is well, I trust? (19:24:25) Guillame: Very well, I'm glad to say. (19:24:38) ***Portia smiles. (19:25:27) Guillame: If I might ask- how fares Coryra, these days? (19:26:03) Portia: As well as can be expected. I have not been there in .. oh, it must be six months, at least, but I hear all is in order. (19:26:33) Portia: M. Olivier, if you are not otherwise engaged, might I request the pleasure of a dance? (19:26:44) ***Aden_ glances at you, then back at her. (19:27:23) Aden_: Ah.. I'm afraid I was just about to go and attempt to locate my escort for the evening and ensure that she doesn't require anything. Perhaps later :) (19:27:52) Portia: Of course. M. Rionet, perhaps you might take his place, then :) (19:28:26) ***Guillame looks to Aden, but can't really refuse. (19:28:33) Guillame: I'd be delighted, of course. (19:28:46) Portia: Splendid! (19:29:15) Aden_: It's been a pleasure, Guillame. I'll be in touch. (19:29:20) ***Aden_ says before she can whisk you away. (19:30:09) Guillame: Good luck finding your escort! (19:30:16) Aden_: Thank you! (19:30:35) ***Portia takes your arm as you make your way onto the dance floor. (19:31:00) Portia: It's a beautiful party, isn't it. (19:31:37) Guillame: It's lovely - I've said to several people now how much I'm enjoying it; more than I expected. (19:31:44) ***Portia smiles at that. (19:31:54) Portia: How long do you think it will be before such a celebration is held for one of our people? (19:31:57) ***Portia asks idly. (19:32:12) ***Guillame frowns (19:32:21) Guillame: I wish I could say I thought it would be soon. (19:32:42) Portia: Indeed. But frankly, I doubt it will be in my lifetime. (19:33:23) Guillame: I agree. I doubt even that it will be within the next cycle, if the houses have their way. (19:33:43) Portia: Well, if they had their way, we wouldn't be here at all. (19:34:28) ***Portia could as easily be chatting about the latest fashion in hats to a casual observer of your conversation. (19:34:38) Guillame: Yes, so it would seem... and yet I'm not completely certain of that. (19:34:44) Portia: Oh? (19:35:55) Guillame: Just something I came across recently in my studies - it seems that after the exodus, somebody took steps to prevent our people from returning to the undercity. I haven't verified it thoroughly, though - it could be nothing. (19:36:14) Portia: Fascinating. I had no idea you were a scholar, M. Rionet. (19:36:52) Guillame: Well, I try to better myself - it's a satisfying method. (19:37:28) Portia: Are you well-acquainted with M. Olivier? (19:38:45) Guillame: I wouldn't say well-acquainted - but acquainted, certainly. (19:39:16) Portia: I find his candour quite refreshing. (19:39:51) Guillame: I do too, at that. He's very open. (19:40:05) ***Portia nods. (19:40:21) Portia: And while I may not agree with him on every particular, at least he acknowledges that something has to change, which is more than most of them will do. (19:40:34) Guillame: Exactly! (19:41:17) Portia: You seem very enthusiastic on this subject :) (19:42:10) Guillame: Well, my Father worked hard for us to be accepted into city society - I feel like it's my duty to make sure his hard work doesn't come to nothing. (19:42:43) Portia: I see. You are not alone in this... enthusiasm, if I may say so. (19:43:04) Guillame: That's good to know. (19:43:09) ***Guillame nods seriously. (19:43:32) Portia: I hope we will have a chance to speak more of this at some point, M. Rionet. (19:44:01) Guillame: I'm sure that can be arranged. (19:44:20) ***Portia dips a slight curtsey to you as your dance concludes. (19:44:21) Portia: Thank you - it's been a delight. (19:45:15) Guillame: Why, thank you. I'll be sure to tell my Mother you asked after her. (19:45:51) Portia: Yes, do. It has been too long since I had her to tea. (19:46:27) Portia: Good evening, M. Rionet. (19:46:43) Guillame: Good evening (19:46:47) ***Guillame bows again. (19:46:56) ***Portia takes her leave, then.
