04 - Getting to know you

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[The chaos of the lost languages behind them, it is time to know this place better. There are too many people, possibilities for something like uncertainty. People with their own words are far more likely to be themselves with them, in whatever form that might take. Reinette needs to watch. To see and to know.

It is time she took full stock of this place people called the Astral Plane.

A settee arrives with her, on which Reinette reclines. On a small table nearby there are two glasses, and a fine bottle of bordeaux.

This might take some time.]

I see nothing here to keep one here against their will.

[but she is smiling]

Nothing but the damnable chains of polite society. [Sits herself down and props her chin in one hand.]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[examines her wrists]

I see no chains?

Would you like a glass of wine?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Likely because polite society's a bit hard to find in this place.

Of a certainty I wouldn't mind one.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Everyone has been polite to be thus far. But I presume your own definition takes it further than that?

[pours her a glass of wine, serving it]

[Makes herself comfortable, sipping the wine. It's not really her preferred drink, but--well. She should be polite.

She clears her throat to smother a grin.]

Well, there are a good number about who act like nobility, I'll give them that--but few that play by nobility's rules.

[sips from her own wine as well]

And how do you define the rules of nobility?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Crooked smile.] Hard to define them as such--you grow up with nobility about, you just learn what they expect.
