eldorne_girl: (daddy had horses)
[personal profile] eldorne_girl
[Delia had always loved horses. Always. It was nearly impossible not to, in the Eldorne house. They bred them, sold them, bought them…it was all the wealth they had left, after the Conquest]

[the House of Eldorne always thought of it with a capitol letter, too]

[so, it should come as no surprise to those who knew her from her life in Tortall to find the now-dead lady outside, watching the horses as they got some fresh, winter air. Watching them, and gently stroking Mithros’s face. He was a lovely horse, even if he had once been Jonathan’s.]

[Bloody Jonathan]

[of course, her clothes – jeans and a jumper, scarf and trench-coat would come as a surprise to those at court, those who now thought her safely dead and in the hands of the Black God]

[Sadly for them, Delia’s always been hard to get rid of. She’s spiteful like that]

Her eyes widen, then narrow sharply. For the record, she's not mad at Delia. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks." Her tone promises an intersting conversation whenever Roger decides to show his face again.

"As for Julian...He switches between almost kind, fairly civil, companionable, wantonly cruel, insulting me and my friends, threatening all our lives and any combination thereof. He's something of a puzzle."

[Delia has played at court games since she was fifteen - she knows how to read expressions]

...I hate him

[possibly, however, she didn't mean to say that in response to Mary Anne's face. Flushing slightly, she glances away]

[Bastard, bastard... though did she really expecet any different?]

Mary Anne's not very good with eye contact right now, either. "I'm sorry. I wouldn't have gotten involved if...I'm sorry."

What? Oh?

[she laughs, her rich voice bitter]

No, it's alright. You are hardly the first, Mary Anne. I've been with him for seven years...yes, you are hardly the first. It's just...a shock, that's all. I should be used to it.

She smiles wryly. "Well, it's my first time being the 'other woman.' Can't say it sits well. And I'm not sure it's the kind of thing you can get used to. Or that you should."

Well, I love him. Stupidly. So, no, I guess not.

[she shakes her head]

I've been out here too long, I think I need to go in. It was lovely meeting you, though.

The smile softens. "Love is never stupid. Even if the people we love are."

"Lovely meeting you too, Delia. See you around."

See you.

[and with that, she shoves her hands in her pockets and walks away]
