I sighed inwardly knowing she was right but outwardly I gave her and cold look.
"I have s history with Heliotrope yes," I replied. "My descions to act the way I do are based on that."

Trying not to smirk at the look she gave me, I answered, "Well, at least you are basing your reactions on personal experiences. So many people make decisions based on nothing but rumors and the actions of those long dead." I sighed deeply, a look of reluctant acceptance coming to my face.

I had to bit my lip to not reply.
"I suppose you're right." I said softly.

"Ah well, what can you do but live your life?" I asked in a somewhat bemused tone. I noticed the vendor nodding slightly and had to keep from laughing.

I pressed my lips together and raised a brow.
"Is it the habbit of Shahrizai's to be so optimistic?" I asked in my own bemused tone.

"Depends on the Shahrizai, and the situation," I told her, smiling wryly. "Just as I hadn't thought it the habit of L'Envers to lash out at innocent adepts."

I shrugged slightly.
"You would do the same in my situation." I replied looking back at her cooly.

I couldn't help but laugh, deep and honest.
"I act like you did on a good day, were it me having troubles like you seem to be having, there would have been blood," I said, chuckling still.

My lip curled on its own this time, unbidden in a half smile. I pushed it away quickly and nodded.
"Good to know." I said diplomatically.

"We are speaking of adepts here, not nobles," I said, matching her diplomacy.

"Either way." I said raising a brow, my look of knowing I wouldn't cross a Shahrizai.

"Ah yes, my family's reputation colors everything," I remarked, turning and looking at the next vendor's cart. This one was filled with lovely journals bound with rather exotic hides. "Not all of my blood aspire to take down those above them."

"You're still Shahrizai." I observed. "Does that not matter?"

"It does," I agreed, picking up a journal bound in black hide so soft it felt like silk. "Just as much as you being a L'Envers and all the things people in your family have done matters."

I nodded. "Then we are bound by the same fate." I said reluctantly going over my family's own intrigue.

"Bound by similar familial histories, but your fate is what you make it. I refuse to give control of my future to the sins of my blood's past," I told her.

I wanted to agree, to feel that hope that I was my own person. Instead I simply shrugged my one shoulder and turned to a vendor gazing over their wares.

It seemed the Duchess had a fatalistic view of her future, how sad.
Handing over some coins to the vendor, I tucked the black bound journal away in a pocket and turned to Evangeline.
"I am not yet used to the cold again after being in the south for so long, I have an urge for something warm to drink, would you care to join me?" I asked her.

I furrowed my brow and couldn't help but ask. "Why?"

"Why what? Why do I want some thing warm to drink? Why am I asking you to join me? Or why would you want to join me?" I asked, smiling.

"Why would you ask for my company, what do you want from me?" I asked leaning back slightly. "If you think you can butter me up," I said trailing off slightly. "I'm not stupid."

Annoyed, but not surprised by her remarks, I lifted my chin a little.
"I was being nice. I was rather enjoying your company and thought perhaps it might be nice to get to know you a little better," I told her, my tone tight and terse. "There is nothing I could want from you so there was no 'buttering up'. Forgive me for asking, Duchess."
I gave her a slight and barely polite curtsey before turning my back on her and walking to the next stall over.

I rolled my eyes, Oh Elua, I took a few steps forward toward her then up next to her.
"Forgive my rudeness," I said though I wanted to bite my tongue and say nothing. "I would enjoy something to drink."

"There is nothing to forgive, Duchess," I said, my tone cool. "My own urge for a drink is gone. I think I shall return home. Good day."
Turning away again, I crossed the street and began to stroll back in the direction of home, though I was in no rush.
Silly weak blooded twit, no wonder even Heliotropes despised her.

I shook my head and did bite my lip. That I would even appologize to such a person made me angry and instead I simply turned back to a vendor and began to look through the wares again.
