Duly punished (open)

Jul 18, 2007 23:49

Richard is badly shaken, and trying to walk it off before he runs into anyone he knows. He hasn't noticed anything wrong with him, as yet. He doesn't feel sick, or poisoned, or crippled. But the incident has both spiked the guilt he felt about Tom and revived unpleasant memories about his murder. He finds himself heading for the kitchen, ( Read more... )

Arabella, as likely to be in that general vicinity as anywhere else, will see him and greet him with a polite nod. "Mr. Carstone. Good day."

"Good day, Mrs. Strange." He is very shaken, but not so shaken as to be rude. "How are you, this day?"

Of course she feels the usual measure of friendly affection for Richard, as any friend feels, but we'll assume it's not enough of the right sort of love for her to notice much, if any, difference in that way. "Very well, thank you. And how are you? You will forgive my suggesting you do not look quite well."

"I'm a bit shaken, is all. I... I do believe I've just met your old acquaintance from Faerie, and he gave me a bit of a turn."

And here's Tom to test it out on. He's looking for the gentleman (because what he said really doesn't sound good in retrospect) and also partly looking for some more to drink and is not expceting to run into Richard in the slightest.

And Richard is retrieving a bit of wine when Tom comes in to the kitchen. "Tom... I..." He swallows. "Good day."

Tom stops dead in his tracks, blinks, and then shakes his head. "Rick... Did you do something?" Something is very wrong, he knows it but he just can't figure out what it is.

"I... not precisely. Though I'm glad to see you. I thought I should apologize."

If he'd like, have an Ada, who won't notice him right away, in case he'd rather not deal with her just yet.

He'd rather not, perhaps, but he will, as he needs to realize a bit more about the enchantment. He notices her, and quickly puts the unopened bottle he'd found away. "Ada...what a pleasant surprise."

dearcousin July 20 2007, 04:37:31 UTC

"Richard!" There's a flash of a strange expression on her face, but she's smiling again in an instant.

jarndyceheir July 20 2007, 04:42:57 UTC

He notices, though, and falters. "Are you... is everything alright?"
