[OTA] A Sudden Bold and Unexpected Question

[gotyourheart]

When King Theo had called her to his office, she had gone in fully anticipating he was going to tell her he was making her Head of Security at last. Which he did.

What she wasn't expecting was for him to offer the position of Queen. She'd been hesitant, at first, but as he explained his expectations and hopes for her and the rest of the Suit, she found herself feeling more comfortable as she recognized that they were the same. At the end, she'd accepted, and taken her leave to go get things in order in her office. Eventually, though, it properly sank in exactly what she'd committed to, and while she didn't regret it, she certainly needed a little bit of liquid courage to deal with the news.

Which is why, late in the evening, the new Queen of Hearts will make her way down to the Four Suits to indulge in a (surely well-deserved) drink.

"Nah, probably not," he agrees as he lifts his drink, "I'd still pay to see it, though."

Probably not the best idea for inter-Suit relations, unfortunately.

"Guess you could make it more of a private affair," he muses. "Except without the glitter. Gets everywhere."

[gotyourheart]

"Well, I'm certain I could find a way to arrange for a private show, if you wanted it." A wink, "Although glitter is rather a pain to deal with, so there'll be some lacking in sparkle."

[fiddlerjohnny]

"This is probably where I'm supposed to say that your eyes would be sparkle enough or something, isn't it?"

He's upped the Southern drawl there. "'Fraid I'm not too good at that sorta thing."

[gotyourheart]

A soft laugh, "I'm certain I'll survive."

She's not a Diamond, after all. Sparkling is hardly a terrible concern of hers.

"Shining might be more your thing, anyway, I bet."

Dropping the act a little, it'd seem.

"But not twinkling," he adds, with a grin.

[gotyourheart]

"No, not twinkling."

Shining at least a little? Definitely maybe. She's not one for fabulousness, but she does like to look good.
