[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]

[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?]

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.

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