[Earlier in the week all DRAKENET devices received a message announcing Francesca's birthday party, courtesy of Sir Bancroft, to be held the evening of July 11. No RSVP needed. It's especially good timing now that many mission groups have returned to the castle, at least for the time being.

As the guests make their way in, it's clear the party's been well stocked with food and drink. There's plenty of room for mingling and some music in the background. Gifts are completely optional, but welcome. Come in and get comfortable.]

[ he doesn't offer so much as a response. merely a single glance in her direction that conveys a lot of contempt in a fraction of a moment, before he pointedly ignores her. ]

[reallywicked]

Ooh but he's got broody down to an artform. [This is almost as fun as bothering guards at Buckingham Palace to see if they'll crack.]

In case you haven't noticed? It's a party.

[everyredcent]

[ without looking back at her, he says flatly: ] And now that you've made it quite readily apparent that while your drink may be far from dry, the depth of your wit certainly is, perhaps you'll get back to vapidly enjoying it.

[reallywicked]

I thought this whole Knight gig was supposed to make us one big happy family.

[Said with so much sarcasm, it would make your head spin.]

What does that make you? The uncle no one likes or invites if they can help it?

[everyredcent]

I rather wish they wouldn't.

[reallywicked]

So why are you here? [You're not gonna shake her that easily, okay. Annoying teenager has been launched.]

[everyredcent]

I fail to see how that's any concern of yours.

[reallywicked]

You know...the more you don't want to tell me something, the more it just makes me want to ask.

[She smiles brightly, because oh why not? This might be fun for a few minutes.]

[everyredcent]

And the more likely your incessant and impertinent questioning makes it that should we be assigned on a mission together, I'll have no qualms of leaving you behind to face whatever ravenous beasts or exploding caverns we might be escaping.

[reallywicked]

Oooh [She wiggles her fingers at him] Scary.

Who said I want some stuck up jerk like you watching my back, anyway?

[everyredcent]

Because I find it highly unlikely that your survival rate would be very high based on your wits alone.

[reallywicked]

And I'm sure your survival isn't based on your amazing collection of allies.

[everyredcent]

I don't require allies to get the job done.

[reallywicked]

Again, I can only wonder why you're even here, then.

[everyredcent]

Your ignorance is little concern of mine.

[reallywicked]

[She rolls her eyes and mocks his tone.]

Whatever. [She's officially bored. Good job! Ignoring the bratty teenager really does have the intended results. Faye will be wandering off to find someone less frustrating to talk to.]
