Chrestienne thought it mildly amusing that Niniel was so taken with Soronume. She couldn't blame the woman, any girl in her right mind would be reduced to a puddle if Soronume decided to grace them with his attention. It was so very reminiscent of how she had been just a few months before--
No, she thought firmly to herself. There will be time enough for that tale later. "You did ask me the other night at dinner, and as I recall, Mardath repeated the question when I said I hadn't heard. I don't blame you for being preoccupied, though," Chrestienne said with a smile. She sipped from her ale and then continued. "I would be too, if I...well, I'll get there soon enough, if you are truly interested in hearing."
Niniel's gaze refocused on her. Chrestienne chuckled a little bit. Just admit it to yourself, she thought. You're so very taken with him that you can't keep your mind on anything else. "If you are truly not interested in hearing, I'll not push the matter further."
