[Sodium_noir] Hell is Other People

[Mara Ravenclaw]

> [Mara]
> "I'm with Lady Sinclair."  She replies, looking around the room to attempt to get her bearings in the palatial mansion.  She attempts to describe the room she was in, telling her what landmarks were nearby.  She then uses her heightened senses to see past the doors of the room, to the rooms beyond, and describes them to Christine.

> "Think you can find it?"  Mara asks.  "I'm sure Lady Sinclair would be delighted to see you again."

[Christine]
Christine grimaces. Yeah, she'd just love to meet Lady S again. A polite social shimmy around the hostess with the mostest while feeling  and looking like a wrung out bar towel long past Happy-Hour?  Fun.

"Bitch," murmurs Christine, without heat. She sighs, "Still pissed at me, huh?"

Mara purses her lips in displeasure and contemplates an answer.  "Anger has nothing to do with it."  She replies.  

"I guess there's no point in asking you to make it easy for me, right?" All her boozy anger has fizzled out. She now just wants to deliver her message and get gone. "Okay then. Let's do this your way. I'll come. Got a friend in tow. That way you got someone to hold your coat and I got someone to hold mine. Ensures we don't end up catfighting in public. Peachy. See you in five."

Mara replies.  "Au revoir."  She closes the phone and then turns to Lady Sinclair and Mr. Bradley.  "My apologies."  She offers to them.  "But I had to take that call."  She looks past the doors, hoping to catch a glimpse of Christine's fiery red hair, or the outfit she was wearing.  

Christine snaps her phone shut. Sighs again. She turns to Sandra.

"She's with Lady Sinclair. Some kinda small drawing room? Whatever.  It's this way," she gestures vaguely toward a door leading off the main ballroom. "Care to . . . ? I'd appreciate the support."  Christine looks awkward, forlorn round the edges. "Please?"

Christine proceeds carefully, now making a conscious effort to at least appear mostly together. Pale, jaw set, she threads her way along the route Mara described - as far as she can remember it anyhow. Slipping through a partly opened door, Christine does indeed spot Mara and Marguerite Sinclair; a couple of other people she doesn't immediately recognise. Christine glances up at Sandra. "Here goes nothin', " she mutters, begins to walk toward her former employer.

Finally Mara catches sight of Christine.  She keeps her face set in a carefully neutral expression.  She was not going to fight with Christine in public.  Not if she could help it...
