“He will get here when he gets here.” He swats her hand away.

”You better look gorgeous for him.”

"Yeah, all it earns you is scars."

He shrugged. "Scars make you stronger. Please, let's...have a chat."

"Always," she flashed him a smile and turned, walking down the hall.

She turned the corridor and opened the door, entering the gardens. It was all covered in frost, many plants dead from the winter. There were few winter flowers blossoming, however. She walked through the aisles of crocus, jasmine, cyclamen, primrose and camellias.

"Fortunately, he has not hurt me anymore than you see on my skin. And my skin has gone through much, it will survive. I am more concerned for my name."

"I see. What, exactly, is your concern? Obscurity?"

"Wealth. We're a noble family, yet many would pay to see our collapse. They push us down, out, away. We used to be powerful. But we no longer control the press. The papers were lost to the Bonetillon house in a gambling match."

He nodded. "It pains me to see people suffer for such arbitrary notions of power and status. But such is the way of people. There is no true meaning to be found, so you create it, and never realize when you've begun to create a cage for yourselves."

"Not quite. I have inserted myself into all this, though not completely. For one, it is difficult to be asking the nobility without being born into a house. For another, my motivations are atypical."
