It would be rude to down the rest of her drink, but if she had to be honest, she had taken a glass only to keep herself busy. She took a generous sip once more before placing it on a table and smiling at Talorgan. "We will not be overdressed. You know Juny, she would love nothing more than to...
Her brow quirked.
She withdrew from his close proximity, but still close enough to sell the illusion of fancying him enough to court. "Do you mean wine?" The smile did not die from her painted lips. "Other than you, I was thinking that we simply head on over Juny's as is. Unless... you wish to...
Her smile twitched. Truly, the awkwardness Talorgan showed was an enlightening side of him she had come to known, for their first encounter he had been gruff and a man on little conversation. Now that he was in an environment where he was not one to thrive in, the way he handled it greatly...
Faye shrugged a nonchalant shoulder. "They do not truly care for such a thing... but truthfully? No. Only in this society." Those that cared for more information, to be the founder of new information to spread amongst the noble herd. "Besides, if it truly takes a turn, I am enjoying the quiet...
Faye could not stifle her smile, her eyes widening in amusement. "It is remarkable how much you remind me you are noble when I have seen you with paints smearing your body and barely proper dress." She clicked her tongue, but it was hard not to miss that she was in high spirits at that moment...
Faye stifled the laugh she wanted to let out, but indeed she was surprised to shield Talorgan by stepping forward a half step to put the attention on her. She knew she was pretty, that had been told to her on many occasions, but it was the charisma she wielded that commanded those nearby that...
Faye could not help herself as she gave a laugh in response to his words. She looked up to him, smilely strongly. "Truly, I would love to see you play jealousy as some rich prat tries to entice me to dance."
They both came to a stop by the refreshment table, and wine was prepared for them...
"I fear it may take a few dances tonight to satisfy the rumour mill." She said lowly, being sure to smile softly as if their whispering was something sweet. "Three dances tonight. If we are to take a break, if I were to go get a refreshment, then I expect you to keep looking for me as if you...
"Will you keep working in your workshop once you marry?" Asked a lady that guided Faye through the party, arms laced together. She peered up at Faye, who was taller than most women present and still insisted on wearing her heels.
"It is a Valimir tradition that must live on." She replied...
From that night, Faye had found how easy it was to talk to Talorgan, and therefore she had been quite patient to answer his questions. She had informed him of the things she kept hidden in the cellar, and shortly after, witha another bottle of wine brought up, they had migrated to her kitchen...
"Best you get a taste of what to expect at one of Juny's parties " She nodded at the wall nearest to him, where a collar was chained to the wall. "Not a lot of men like to see these decorations. I wonder if they think they are not enough... they don't see the fun and adventure to be had."
That...
Faye had to keep her teeth sinking into her lip to keep from smiling too wide as he followed her down to fhe cellar. It was lit in torch light, on the last hour of light, but enough to put out light to allow her to navigate the genrous room. There was a door thay led to the wine cellar, but the...
Faye gave him an appreciative smile. "We should take another bottle inside and perhaps I cook us a nice meal."
The gala they had attended had only served small portions, and it was best they had something to line their stomachs with. Faye wandered back over to the cellar door, pausing as a...
Faye set her glass down on the empty table she leaned on. Slowly, she turned back to face Talorgan with a smile of amusement. "I will agree for the first party." Her grey eyes assessed his stature again before her gaze flitted back to meet his. "I suppose I should protect you if we are to be...
She could not help the smile on her face, not when Talorgan was trying to keep respectful in front of her. This evening, she was already a few glasses of wine in and felt free enough to chuckle at him. "Oh trust me, if you were invited, you would be consumed quickly. You know you are handsome."...
