House of Cards RP

We could take out a wall.

As Head of Intersuit Relations - as well as the Diamond Ambassador to the Spades - one of the things that falls under the heading of Job Responsibilities for Avery is supervising the construction and renovation of an office at Diamond Castle for the ambassadors from the other three Suits.

Though her understanding is that the Hearts and Clubs haven't assigned them envoys yet.

In any case, Avery prefers to be prepared for the day when three Cards will have office hours of a sort in this one room, and she's ruminating over the ways to give them all personal space. Taking out a wall might be a bit much, but she's happy to hear other suggestions.

For once in her life, Judith is outside. Alone. Not in her office with her kid, training with Robert or what have you. But sitting on a tree branch, pondering about her life.

A great deal about Säde is largely inferred rather than directly known. Her personal life, in particular, is largely a matter of conjecture, and fifteen years is enough time to build up a large enough store of data to deduce several things. For example, the thing with Hector, the former Jack of Diamonds.

And today it may be assumed that her agitation has to do with that very man. She keeps her Diamond mask on, but at the edge of her smile is something brittle, fragile, less the rage reserved for something gone wrong and more the anger of a wounded animal.

Not, all things considered, the best mood to leave the Deck in. This may be the first day that Leigh sees something similar in her guardian to the people who came before. Not the physicality of an action, but the light in the eyes that comes before it. It will keep her wary for days until Säde talks about it suddenly, no warning and no regard for the age of the girl she's speaking to. Then there's just an uneasy, pitying accord.

[ooc: Hector first. Anyone else talking to Säde would be coming in on the aftermath of their argument.]

It's that time again. Yes, Julien can be found out on the practice field throwing knives at targets.

He doesn't miss.
