Sabine threw back her head to laugh a little longer and levelled to explain. "You would [i]not[/i] like the countess if it were to summon a countess, Colours. No..."

For a moment, Sabine looked up at a corner of the ceiling and sighed. "I think..." She raised her hand and charged a swirling turquoise spell. "If you must taste, you need to calm down."

She suddenly leaned forward to prod Colours in the upper arm. The spell discharged, sending Colours emotions into a neutral harmony for about five seconds. Sabine just wanted to see the look on Colours' face, but using magic in a place like this was most certainly misbehaving.
