While the room reacted to the remarks made by Millicent and himself, Tony sipped his coffee, watching and listening. Millicent had certainly riled up the room a bit, and it would be interesting to see how that situation unfolded, but for now his focus was on his own lead: George. If he remembered correctly that was Agatha's husband, and he looked nervous, or maybe unsettled, by Tony's comment. Tony wasn't sure if he had hit the mark by theorizing that she was ill, or if there was something else going on, but based on his reaction there was clearly [i]something[/i] going on there.

Tony turned and listened as Constance responded, and nodded. [color=skyblue]"Yes, I believe she was. If she [i]is[/i] feeling under the weather then that's some really unlucky timing, it would be a real shame if she misses out on the award ceremony and everything. I suppose I [i]might[/i] be able to help if that's the case... I mean, you shouldn't work on vacation, but I've already had to do so twice so one more wouldn't hurt.

"I'm sure that if she [i]is[/i] sick, someone will ask at some point,"[/color] he added, before taking another bite of food. As he ate, he kept a close eye on George, or at least as close as he could without staring and being obvious. He briefly considered asking directly, but dismissed the idea, for now. Acting eager would likely do more harm than good. If she [i]was[/i] ill, they'd probably planted the idea well enough for George to bring it up, if he had any interest in doing so. Tony was no expert himself, but he'd spent more than enough time around manipulative people to know that making someone think something was [i]their[/i] idea often saw better results than trying to [i]convince[/i] them to do it. Especially when keeping a low profile is as important as it was now.
