[ the pendergast manor is a sprawling sight, impressive even to those who live in the world's most ridiculously sized castle. the whole place has a sort of country club air, and white gloved butlers escort the little troupe of knights through the halls, past expensive paintings and all the other old money trappings. ]

Well, I happen to be enjoying myself. Sorry to hear if you're not- both of you. [He nods to the uncle and gives a tiny trace of a smile to the aunt, almost apologetic that she's dealing with this brute.]

[sirsolace]

[ she casts a side glance between thoster and the uncle, as if wondering whether it's alright for her to respond. he speaks right over her, however, before she can decide. ] Only here to keep peace in the family. Never hear the end of it otherwise. Damn spoiled brat.

[bluffcheck]

She does seem a bit... particular, doesn't she? [He has a bit of amusement to his tone.]

[sirsolace]

Particular. [ he lets out a dry harrumph. his wife mumbles something about going to powder her nose and slips away from him in the direction of the bathrooms. ] She's rotten, through and through.

[bluffcheck]

Is she? Afraid I haven't known her long. Sounds like you have, though.

[is he supposed to know who this guy is? Oh well. Playing dumb even if he does.]

[sirsolace]

Course I have. She's my niece.

[bluffcheck]

Well, you'd know better than most, wouldn't you? Now I was talking with someone else here and they said she was worried about someone making trouble tonight. An ex, maybe? [He's fishing, not really sure if an uncle would know much about it, but it's worth a shot. (bluff 24 just for the slight spin he's put on it).]

That more of the act she puts on, or is there something to it?

WHY DO I KEEP LOSING NOTIFS FOR THIS THREAD??? solace what is wrong with your account

[sirsolace]

She goes luring all these boys along on a string for the attention, I don't bother keeping up with them. [ he waves a hand dismissively... and that's when thoster also possibly hears ~THE SCREAM~ down the hallway... listen DC 12 ]

[Thoster turns at the sound of the scream (listen 14)]

Does she now? Pity to those boys. Sorry to dash, friend, but I think my date is looking for me. [ (Bluff 26) Once away from the uncle, thoster seeks out faith (spot nat 20).]

Did you hear that, dear? Think we may be needed in the other room. [He keeps it vague while they're in the crowd.]

[moonheart]

[ faith's busy talking with some of the other guests, and she disengages from her to wrap an arm around thoster's waist. ] Whoops. Looks like my darling needs a little ~private chat~. [ she winks at him audaciously ] If you'll excuse us.

[bluffcheck]

Can't stay away from you too long, dearest. [He gives her a smile, but there's something more grim in his expression. Once they're out of the fray, he guides her towards the door.] Heard a scream. I think Lissa and Sydney are already heading that way. Thought you wouldn't want to miss out on the fun.
