If she had to ask the question, clearly Gervaise hadn't explained enough Kusheline politics. "I was Father's designated heir, his only acknowledged child. To marry Gervaise would have been seen as giving the Shahrizai duchy to the de Morhban's. My family would have never accepted him or any children we might have produced. I never could stand Theodore or his father. It's only been since your fiancé has taken over that relations between our families have began to ease."
I smiled then, a tad bitterly. "And Gervaise never asked."

"Oh." I said nodding slightly as I thought over every thing. "I see." I took up my tea and sipped it gently. "Theo was a bastard wasn't he." I said softly, thinking that perhaps she wouldn't want to discuss things more. It was a sore spot for her I would imagine, being put in the place that she was.

You could almost watch the cogs turn over in her brain as she digested the information. "Oh yes," I agreed frankly. "I was not sad to hear that he passed."

I nodded. "Did you have much experience with him then?" I asked curiously.

"Unfortunately. He didn't like me either," I replied with a small, wry smile. "Did you know him well?"

I smiled a half smile. "No, I only met him a few times at court. There was a summer that he was in Namarre and he came to the estate for a fete..." I trailed off and shrugged. "We we're the best of friends."

"Oh good, I never could trust anyone who liked him," I deadpanned, humour in my eyes as I sipped my tea.

I smiled a little wider at her jest, sipping my tea as well. "Who would like him?" I said with disgust, shaking my head.

I shrugged. "I'm not sure, but then again, I shouldn't talk. I'm not rumoured to be the most likable person either."

"Ah yes," I said taking another sip. "I can atest to that." I said smiling. "Then again, I don't have that great of a reputation either."

I chuckled. "And yet neither of us seems to be in a great hurry to change that. I wonder why?"

"Certainly keeps some of the twits away," I replied. "Too bad not all of them stay away."

I chuckled and nodded. "I agree entirely." I said softly, taking another sip of tea.

"So are you as... unpleasant as the rumours would have me believe?" I asked, suspending my past experiences with her for a moment.

I raised a brow at her, contemplating the best way to answer her. "I suppose it depends on what rumours you've heard." I said before sipping my tea slowly.

I chuckled. I had asked the question just to see the look on her face, and it had been worth it. "Don't worry, I know better," I replied.

I had to smile a little. "I would think you'd want to know all my weaknesses." I teased.

"And I would like to be arrogant enough to assume I know them all already," I teased back, setting my empty cup back on its saucer. "Though did you really pitch a fit when you found out about your brother's engagement?"

I smiled a little, thinking about what she asked. "Define 'pitch a fit'?" I raised a brow to her. "I wasn't happy no, but did I throw things, certainly not..." I grinned widely. "Thats unlady like."

I chuckled. "Well when it comes to my brother, unfortunately, I have to watch what I say." I shrugged. "I mean, was I happy with his choice in brides? Most definately not. But Elliot is as stubborn as I."

"Well, you know these adepts. They latch onto some rich young nobleman and then spend all their money once they're hooked." I sighed and shook my head.

"Has it started yet?" I asked, pulling on the different threads in her thoughts. I was very interested to know what she thought on things. After all, I was going to have to work with her and Gervaise quite a bit in the future.

I sighed looking off into the distance a little. "No, despite my hopes that Caraf would turn out to be some one I would really have to hate, or watch out for, she seems genuine." I looked back to Anacrasia. "They really seem to love each other, and she seems like a good match for him."

I cracked a small smile as I brought my tea to my lips and sipped. "I suppose you have to deal with the same thing from time to time." I said softly. "Having to deal with false intentions."
