She nodded and looked towards the windows when Eleanor mentioned the storm. She was a big girl, she wasn’t afraid of storms, but she didn’t much like being caught outside in them. Thankfully, she had no reason to go outside tonight. She had plenty of reason to stay inside, after all. She turned back to Tony and took another sip of her drink. [color=#e31e1e]”Do we wish to stay here for a bit longer, or shall we move to the lounge or elsewhere?”[/color] Tony looked around the room, assessing how many people were left in the room. [color=skyblue]”It looks like most of the others are leaving, so I can’t imagine the lounge will be much more private, but I haven’t been there yet so I wouldn’t mind a change of scenery. Unless you had anywhere else you wanted to explore in this place?”[/color] he asked, as he took a sip of his scotch. [color=#e31e1e]”We could move to the lounge then. I’m sure we could find somewhere else to go when we desire some more privacy later.”[/color] Constance smiled softly as she took another sip of her champagne, and then set the glass down. [color=#e31e1e]”Shall we bring our drinks with us?”[/color] Tony nodded, standing. [color=skyblue]”It would be blasphemous to waste good scotch, or to shoot it, so I suppose we shall,”[/color] he answered with a chuckle at the thought. He offered his arm as he came around to her side of the table. She smiled softly at that, as she gently picked up her glass in one hand and took his arm with hers and relaxed against him a bit. [color=#e31e1e]”The lounge was upstairs, if I recall correctly? Near the rooms?”[/color] [color=skyblue]”I believe so, behind the bedrooms. I think some of the bedrooms have a door connecting to it, although I haven’t checked,”[/color] Tony replied, as he began leading the way out of the room. [color=#e31e1e]”Oh, really? Maybe that’s what that extra door in my room is for then. I didn’t have much time to explore my room earlier. I was a bit busy making sure my clothing were presentable for dinner.”[/color] Constance chuckled softly at that as she walked with him out of the room. [color=#e31e1e]”Though that is good to know in that case if that is true.”[/color] Tony chuckled. [color=skyblue]”Neither did I, it took most of the time before dinner to steam my suit. It definitely would have been nice to have a bit more time before dinner, but oh well,”[/color] he replied as they left the rec room and made their way up the stairs. [color=#e31e1e]”Oh, I know right? I had to make sure I was ready in time, and it felt a little rushed, but it still worked out in the end. Though I’ll be thankful for tomorrow’s schedule. I believe it is a little less cramped.”[/color] Constance chuckled at that. [color=skyblue]”Yeah, there isn't really anything planned for tomorrow besides the ball, right? Based on how dinner went, I'm sure that will be… [i]interesting.[/i]”[/color] [color=#e31e1e]”Oh yes, that will be interesting.”[/color] Constance really hoped that the other nominees wouldn’t be showing up in shorts and t-shirts to the ball, but really given how dinner went she was honestly expecting anything to happen. She let herself be lead as she looked around for the lounge. [color=#e31e1e]”I do hope you don’t have to end up setting any noses again.”[/color] [color=skyblue]”Well the only person that seems to be going out of their way to get themselves hurt is Lawrence, and I wasn't asked to fix him the second time, so I can't imagine there'll be any further need for my expertise. If he [i]does[/i] get himself hurt again, frankly I don't know if I'd even [i]want[/i] to help him. Especially if he's going to ignore my instructions anyway…”[/color] Tony trailed off, frowning slightly as he remembered the sight of Lawrence drinking at the bar, after Tony had explicitly told him to stop drinking. [color=skyblue]”Anyway, the lounge… that hallway didn't lead anywhere except the bedrooms, so I imagine it must be through here?”[/color] he thought aloud, as he led Constance through the door at the top of the stairs. [color=#e31e1e]”Too true. He seems to be on his own path of self-destruction.”[/color] Constance sighed softly as she remembered how Lawrence had been acting at both dinner and the bar. [color=#e31e1e]”Oh, I imagine so. Let’s go through here.”[/color] She gently pushed through the door and smiled once they found the lounge. [color=#e31e1e]”Shall we?”[/color]
