val'drin & francesca | closed... hopefully

[ francesca's been single for a long, long time and she's not about to waste her first chance in fifty-some years to actually spend valentine's day with someone special, so here she is, early friday morning, quietly making her way through the castle. she does her very best to avoid any and all other occupants for... various reasons, but does make a pit stop in one of the bathrooms to check herself out (she looks amazing btw with a disguise check of 45). she didn't bring a gift, but she does have reservations for some swanky hotel in downtown london for just the two of them for the whole weekend, which is better anyway.

when she reaches his door, she gives it two light taps, keeping an eye over her shoulder just to make sure no one creeps up on her. ]

[ the door opens after just a moment, and val'drin looks stunned, even if he already looks excessively fine himself (he rolled a 19 today, plus a billion). his eyes cut up and down her as his eyebrows lift to his hairline. ]

... I might have sworn I woke up this morning, but it seems I'm still dreaming.

[ she smirks, obviously delighted by his response ] And yet your imagination still pales in comparison, I hope.

Can I come in?

The only reason I'm sure you're actually standing here, actually. [ he makes way, reaching one hand out to rest on her waist ] Please do.

[ she lets him guide her inside, and she removes her strategic red scarf from around her neck as he closes the door, revealing that amazingly huge diamond resting against a generous show of cleavage. then she turns into his touch, kissing him with a decent amount of passion ] Happy Valentine's Day.

I thought I'd return the favor with a surprise romantic gesture of my own.

[ his eyes glint with pleasure when he sees she's wearing it so openly, and he returns the kiss with nearly possessive enthusiasm. ] Happy Valentine's Day. I knew there was a reason I was avoiding the rest of the castle today...

I know it seems cliché, but you can't blame me for finding any excuse to see you. [ as she pulls herself tighter against him for a moment, very receptive to his behavior ] Four months, again. It's straight torture.

[ teasing: ] Have you considered simply throwing the trial yet? It seems a small loss, really.

I think Giovanni's lawyer has done quite a good job of that already. [ she rolls her eyes, but she's still smiling up fondly at him, because this is quite nice, and she really did miss him... a lot ] But for now I suppose we're confined to these spontaneous trysts.
valdrin: (pic#6952837)

[personal profile] valdrin 2014-02-18 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Remind me to send a thank you card to the lawyer.

[ she chuckles ] Trust me, he deserves no gratitude, nor does he need the encouragement.

[ she slides her hands up to his shoulders ] Was I right to assume you might be free for the weekend?
valdrin: (pic#6952656)

[personal profile] valdrin 2014-02-18 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I had an engagement with the Queen, but I'll have to break it off now. Tea can wait.

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-02-18 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
How considerate. Well, not to the Queen, but... [ she smirks ] I think you were right in avoiding the rest of the castle, and... I made us reservations, and booked a hotel. I hope that's alright.
valdrin: (pic#6666649)

[personal profile] valdrin 2014-02-18 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not certain 'alright' covers it, entirely.

[ even if he doesn't seem perturbed by her need to take this outside the castle, she can't help but feel a little guilty ] Quite wonderful, right? I just thought outside the castle we might have a bit more... privacy.

[ and then her guilt gets the best of her ] I told Christos, about us. [ which isn't entirely true, but close enough... ]

[ val'drin's grip tenses slightly, his face tightening ] Did you, now.
socialgraces: (pic#6501558)

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-02-18 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. [ but she doesn't sound all that confident with her decision ] It just sort of... came up. But I didn't think we'd be able to keep it a secret forever.
valdrin: (pic#6607536)

[personal profile] valdrin 2014-02-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
And when was this?
socialgraces: (pic#2515393)

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-02-18 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
A couple months ago, now, I guess. Why? Did he say something to you?
valdrin: (pic#6607613)

[personal profile] valdrin 2014-02-18 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
He hasn't said much at all. I thought it was strange. He usually can't stop himself from making remarks about everything.
socialgraces: (pic#2515395)

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-02-18 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the corner of her mouth quirks up just slightly ] Well, at least you're free of his snide comments for the time being ... In general, I mean, not about [ she motions between them ] this. Really, it's rather decent, for him.
valdrin: (pic#6607536)

[personal profile] valdrin 2014-02-18 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose it is. But I'd rather not talk about him on today of all days.

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-02-18 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, me either. [ she gives him a small smile ] So, you're not upset with me? Or if you are, I understand, I just couldn't see a reason to lie to him, or you.
valdrin: (pic#6666649)

[personal profile] valdrin 2014-02-19 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
What part of 'not talking about him' isn't getting through here? [ now is a good time to pour himself a drink. or six. ]
socialgraces: (pic#6531057)

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-02-19 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wow. ouch. she closes her eyes briefly as he moves away, trying her best to hide her pained expression. ] I don't want to talk about him, I want to talk about you. I asked how you were feeling.
