"I broke some rules that ended up getting me lashed in the courtyard," I told him.

I looked up. "Wait, that was you" I'd heard of a situation. How could I not. It's not everyday that an adept of Gentian house is reprehended in such a direct fashion. At least, not while I was here. I really wanted to know what she did to deserve it, but most likely it was a delicate matter. If she didn't tell me know, there'd be no point forcing it without earning her animosity.
"Is it something you mind talking about." I asked in my most gentle tone.

I fought down memories of the pain and fear, wrapping my arms around myself slightly.
"A little, but it's alright," I said.

As I surmised. "Well, there is no point pressing the matter if it will invoke unpleasant feelings. Tell me, any idea what we might expect at the wedding?"

"No," I said, smiling and grateful he'd changed the subject. "I've never been to a wedding, have you?"

"No." I said echoing her response. "But I imagine there is a lot of food, wine, and fan fare. We are D'Angline after all." I chuckled mostly to myself. I could not think of any occasion that wasn't lavish in our history. And with a wedding of a noble and adept, there would have to be some excess even for the normal standard of a D'Angline fete.

"True," I agreed, thinking of the fetes I'd already been to. "We do know how to celebrate. I hope there's lots of dancing."

"I'm sure that goes without saying. Have you practiced at all?" I let my vision drift between watching her, and the passing scenery.

My smile grew. "I don't have to practice, even though I do. I love dancing," I answered.
The carriage turned off the road and began heading up a drive. "Oh, I think we're close."

I took another steady glance outside. Sure enough, there was a manor not to far in the distance, and a few other carriages closing in. "No, I suppose we wouldn't need to practice too much, being adepts and all." I said wryly. "And yes, we do look close."
"Shall I do you the courtesy of at least being your escort to the door?"

"I would be honored," I told Vincent, smiling wide.
