Nov. 25th, 2004 01:03 pmAlanna had insulted Josiane.
Delia had gone to sleep with that fact, and woken up with it. She looked perfectly calm, and that was the while point. Calm and poised and very angry, only on the inside, where people couldn't see. She naturally wasn't like this. Naturally, she was has she had been - flighty, flirty, nice and cruel, sugar and spice.
Being composed was an art, but she had worked on it in the days and weeks and months after Roger's death. It had served her well then, she could think clearer, be nastier. She could turn it off again, but it was nice to know that if she saw Alanna again, she could bury herself in the calculating lady once more. Calmly pulling on her normal green silk gown, Delia began to brush her long, thick hair.
Watching herself in the mirror as she did so.
There was no one home in her eyes, but she was used to seeing that.
She smiled at her reflection, and said "welcome back."
