alt_narcissaTosha, it's so kind of you to host brunch for everyone, particularly given that this morning's audience was so ... unnerving for many.
I'm only writing to say that - we may be late. Or
we may not be able to join you at all. I'm not sure yet.
I think you'd both already gone right away, so that you'd be able to greet your guests. At least, the throne room was nearly empty and I don't recall seeing either of you still among the court. So you wouldn't have seen: Just as we were leaving, Our Lord - called Lucius back to speak with Him. My hand was on his arm and I could feel him tense. He hid it well but his lip - chin - his pulse started racing and his face drained its colour. It - I - It was most concerning.
and now
There wasn't time to discuss anything, of course. But he sent me out with his eyes. It was as if he were telling me toescape leave if Our Lord would allow it. So I did. At least to the antechamber.
I can hear
You'll make our excuses if we haven't arrived within the next half-hour? It all depends on my husband's wishes, of course. Once his audience is over. He may decide that not appearing would be less wise than appearing whatever the circumstance.
Toshenka, there's nothing I ought to know, is there?

Date: 2013-06-02 10:49 pm (UTC)I think, Narcissa, that we're beyond the point of this being only about serving my desires. Hoped you'd known that.
Particularly now thatIf there's some way I can be of use, you've only to say.
