[RL with Alexia]

[atadflamboyant]

[Lord Akeldama was waiting in his front parlour, a delicious array of treats set out for his darling Alexia -- including her favorite treacle. After all, if she had to come all the way in from the country to visit him, it would be practically cruel to set a poor plate for her. Besides, they had so much to gossip about! He could hardly wait for her to arrive.]

Pigeon, just because you are married doesn't mean you may not look. La, darling, I am counting on you to give a good report.

There is a good friend of mine; Admiral Norrington. Though I am not sure if I have heard your opinions on a man in uniform as of yet...

[atadflamboyant]

I met him!

[Lord Akeldama perks up, practically sparkling.] He was positively charming! [He told Lord A where to shove it.]

[carriesparasol]

Oh? Did you?

[The corners of her lips curl slightly at he thought.] I do hope he behaved himself.

[Don't you mean you hope Lord Akeldama behaved, Alexia?]

Oh, he was he very soul of courtesy, dear!

[carriesparasol]

[She meant both, naturally.]

I have this feeling your are not being very honest with me. Given his temperament and your own, I find such a scenario quite unlikely.

[atadflamboyant]

We are fast friends!
