Askel’s sharpened breath, though slight, had sent a small pulse of tension through Stratya’s body. That slight change had been interpreted as approaching danger but the captain caught herself immediately. There should not be danger here, and it certainly seemed to be that way, if she listened to her surroundings.

She was still in a foul mood.

That reaction of his, though. He mentioned saving a dance for someone, was it her? Had he talked her into a dance when she arrived with the latest delegation of Alidasht only yesterday? He worked fast.

Whatever the case, the lack of interest in the treat she had assembled found said treat placed into Stratya’s mouth. Askel changed languages. The captain understood the point of doing so but still found it a little annoying, like she was being brushed off. She blamed it on her bad mood.

Another glass of wine. This time, she sipped patiently as she looked around the room.

Her eyes found Wulfric, but only briefly before her name summoned her away anyway. She had more than choice words for the Crown Prince, but Askel had already scolded her once for breaking character from the banquette's script.

Munir’s "mistake" was just the relief she needed. A smile was held at bay, and while Stratya measured her response, she hid her expression behind a sip of wine. After steadying herself off that much-needed jolt of mirth, she explained,[color=peru] “[abbr=just a sip of water or wine or anything, Shezade Munir.

Stratya eyed the table of warm smells and tastes, [color=peru]“[abbr=in the spirit of the Shezade’s eagerness, shall we continue our tour of Varian cuisine?]in t’ spirri’ o’ t’ Shezade’s aeg’rrness, shall we continyeh arr tourr o’ Varrian cuisine?[/abbr]”[/color]
