A Private Dining Room, The Estate, Glacia

[glacial_queen]

The small dining room that Karla had set aside for her 'out of town' guests to dine in tonight was one of the ones they hadn't gotten around to denuding of Ludmilla's and/or Hobart's horrible taste in decor yet. Karla had chosen it deliberately, figuring her friends might get a kick out of how completely hideous it was. Everyone knew that extravagantly tacky surroundings aided digestion, right?

Well, Karla was a Healer. She's swear to it, anyway.

And, who knew? Maybe she'd give everyone a souvenir or something! 'I came to Karla's coronation and all I got was this ugly figurine.'

This was how they knew she cared!

Tomorrow was for long, boring speeches and painful formality. Tonight, she was looking forward to just hanging out with friends, having a good time, and threatening to make people sleep in some of the bedrooms that had thus far escaped redecoration.

Any question where Glacia's treasury had wandered off to?

[Open for pretty much anyone who wanted to be invited for the coronation that's absolutely not happening tomorrow! Up early for mega SP, because SP is wonderful. NFB for off-island shenanigans.]

"You would. Because you're a cruel, cruel woman," Jaime shot back, his shoulders relaxing and a grin appearing.

[glacial_queen]

"You know, that's a wonderful idea," Karla said, a wicked grin blooming. "Thank you, Jaime."

LOOK WHAT YOU DID, JAIME. JUST LOOK.

[weldedtomyspine]

Oh, yeah, because Karla wouldn't have thought of it on her own.

"Oh, no," Jaime said, "You're not putting this on me!"

[glacial_queen]

But not now. He'd made her think of it sooner!

"But it was your idea!" Karla protested. "You just said it!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Nuh uh," Jaime said firmly, shaking his head.

LIKE THAT WOULD WORK.

[glacial_queen]

"Yeah huh!"

She could do this all night, Jaime.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Nope," Jaime shot back. "Besides, no one would believe that the idea wasn't yours." It was that evil!

[glacial_queen]

"...Dammit."

He had a point.

"It still was your idea, even if no one else believes me!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Says you," Jaime pointed out with a smirk.

So, HA!

[glacial_queen]

"Look over there," Karla said, pointing behind him.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime didn't look.

Obviously.

[glacial_queen]

That was fine. Karla was going to try to kick him anyway.

[weldedtomyspine]

Somehow he didn't actually see it coming. "Hey! What was that for?"

[glacial_queen]

Really, Jaime, for shame.

"You know very well what," she retorted.

Yes, all this before they turned weetiny.

[weldedtomyspine]

"No I don't! I didn't even do anything!"

Funny, he didn't look especially outraged over the bruise that was almost certainly forming where her foot had landed.

[glacial_queen]

Probably because he knew he deserved it?

"Did too! Did too!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"That's what people say when they kick people for no good reason!"

Trufax!
