2 Crystals [Video]

[Private Video to Ellie//Moderate Encryption]

[Garnet is clearly trying to maintain her calm, but she has the excitement vibe that is clear of any person who really wants to talk about a new geeky thing.]

I finished Hamlet.

[As for the rest, will get a video of a young woman in what appears to be her room....a room that has a fair amount of books in it now]

Hello. My name is Dagger and I was wondering if anyone could give me any recommendations of books or plays to read. Even with my duties of training and the cafe, I keep finding myself with a lot of time on my hands. So I'd really like to know new stories to read.

My favorite genre is plays and dramas, such as Lord Avon's work- or William Shakespeare, who seems to be an Earth playwright with a similar style. Though I'd be open to other genres as well.

Thanks!

[ keep it together keep it together keep it together ]

My Lady Sharon would be much more likely to write a story about yoooooou~♥

Oh, certainly not! Who on earth would she write in as my love interest?

[She's keeping as pleasant a smile as she can.]

Well, that's a funny story. We actually discussed this over tea, not so long ago. At Lord Oscar's unbirthday party.

Oh, really? And tell me, did Uncle Oscar approve of Lady Sharon's choice?

Oh, he wasn't part of the conversation. [ He'd have been apoplectic! ]

Ahahha - you'll be amused at this, Lady Ada. There was some speculation your sweetheart might have been Lord Vincent Nightray. But of course everyone agreed that was absurd.

--!!

[WHAT.]

O-oh, yes! Completely absurd..! [how did they know] Ah, perhaps it's good that Uncle Oscar wasn't there! I'm sure he would have been appalled!

It's hilarious! Someone like you, with Lord Vincent, a man who has never expressed interest in anyone but his brother.

I said I'd bet three months of cake that it wasn't so!

["Well I hope you're prepared to give up cake for three months!" almost slips out, but only almost. If Vincent hadn't wanted to tell others, why should she out him?

Still, that doesn't quite keep her from leaping to his defense.]

There's nothing wrong with being interested in his brother's well-being! That sort of familial devotion should be admired. Gilbert is lucky that Sir Vincent is willing to look out for him.

[ ...

Senses tingling. Could it be??? ]

[ Naaaaaaaah! ]

Why - what a sweet girl you are, to speak well of everyone.

[ Emily chimes in: ]

EVEN THAT VERMIN!

W-well, we should all speak well of each other! How are the relations between families meant to improve if we're always saying bad things about each other, isn't that right?!

...he is not vermin!

[ ............................. ]

[Okay that expression is sort of terrifying and Ada is not sure how she's meant to feel about this.]

H-he is not. He is a member of nobility, not vermin.

..........Lady.............Ada..................

...what?

[ His expression flips over from TERRIFYING! to SUPER SWEET!

---which might also be a bit terrifying. Er. ]

My Lady Ada, pardon me for saying so, but I have this slight suspicion that you might have a crush on Lord Vincent. Is that the case?

Y-you must be mistaken! Were you not the one who said you would bet three months' worth of cake that it wasn't the case?

I simply believe that it's quite rude to refer to anyone as vermin! For shame. I expected better of you, Sir Break.

[ He pauses, somewhat mollified. ]

Ah....

Perhaps you're right.

[ It is absurd, after all. Even Lady Sharon said so. ]

You are - a sweet-hearted young lady.

[ And now he pulls a face! ]

It's simply cloying!

Perhaps it would not be cloying if people were, on the whole, kinder to each other.

[Are her cheeks done flushing yet? No? Damn. She's making a valiant effort at acting as though this is about kindness and not being infatuated with Vincent, though.]

[ ADA YOU ARE SO LUCKY HE'S BLIND and can't see your blushing cheeks sob

Also there's the business of his being completely unwilling to believe the evidence of his ears. ]

Why, Lady Ada. I do believe you've been reading too many novels.

[NOW IF ONLY EVERYONE ELSE WHO COULD VIEW THESE VIDEOS WAS BLIND, TOO...]

There's nothing wrong with novels! They present the ideal we should strive for, don't you think?

My dear, that depends on the novel. They are not all the same. One needs to exert some degree of taste and discernment.

And not be beguiled by a pretty cover, hmmm?

[The way he says that makes her wonder if there's a deeper meaning to it... but she's just going to dwell on it too much.]

I-I'm well practiced at discerning, thank you! A pretty cover won't fool me as easily as you seem to think.

I take a lot into account before I decide such things.

[ Smoothly: ]

Like whaaaaaat, my lady?
