        frank looked sheepishly down at his tie-less suit, shifting his jacket so maybe she might not notice. ❝ sounds like you’re having loads of fun. y’know, um… ❞ he leaned down closer to her ear, breath clearly tinted with firewhiskey as he muttered, ❝ this isn’t actually compulsory. you CAN leave… ❞

     “i could leave, you are right about that.” she moved his jacket away to reveal his lack-of-tie. lucinda flattened his shirt, neatening him up a bit. “but i find it much more FUN to people watch at these kind of events then sit alone in my room so.. here i am.”

                  frank grinned at the familiar face that glanced his way,           raising his glass as though in toast.                                                                          ❝ pretty good night, eh ?? ❞

“sure. if you call mediocre attempts at having class ‘pretty good’. this event would have a lot more taste to it if people had actually FOLLOWED the dress code assigned by the event planning committee.” lucinda scoffed, “i mean half these boys can’t even work a tie properly.”

“ ah shit.    so my boy is a homewrecker, huh ? ”                                         he heard a voice off in the distance,              no doubt a specific drummer wondering where their lead singer was.                                                                turning slightly,                                                                            he looked back at lucinda. 

“ then what’s the fuckin’ point, right ?                                            ya gonna get married anyway,                      so why drag him down with ya ? ”

“do not make this sound like some kind of meaningless fling.” lucinda tucked her hair neatly behind her ear, trying her best to regain composure. “i’m not dragging him down. he knows what is going on and what will ultimately have to happen.” her eyes followed the voice that carried down the hall. “he’s worth every free second i have.”

“ still a few more days  -   -  you may receive  M O R E .  who knows ? ”  his voice was light  &  optimistic as he held one of four carnations .  oh ,  how wondrous flowers could make someone feel !  

“i better. or else there is going to be H E L L to pay.”

“ I have to say this is the first I’m hearing of any of this, and it’s a lot to take in. did someone sit you down at some point and explain all this to you, or are you just better suited to this kind of trial and error? but all the same, and with all due respect, I’m not really sure that we have the same kind of fun, you know? I wouldn’t want to knowingly be mean to people, you know, and mess with their feelings or anything. they don’t have control over them any more than I do; and why on earth would I want to tell people that they have no chance for me? I’m really not that great, lucinda, flattering as all this is. can’t I just leave all the fun heartbreaking to you? “

“of course it is, i am the only women with enough balls to say it. i did actually. in my second year, actually, a seventh year girl from my house came up to me and told me how not to be a heartbreaker. it was a pivotable role for me. now i was supposed to have a prodigy in a younger year, but frankly i feel that you need more help. what you’re saying sex isn’t fun? if so you’re having the wrong kind. —exactly, you don’t want to be mean to them. that’s why you have to tell them before they get attached and emotional. nope. you have to. it’s a rule.”

“And what exactly did you expect?” Jaxon asked with a laugh, “I don’t see a garden exactly, but maybe a flower pot or two.”

“ha ha, very funny. we both know that i am worth much more then a potted plant.”

“i don’t consider it smooth talking, per se. it’s…mostly being honest.” kingsley’s eyebrows raised with the last three words, and his eyes fell over lucinda’s expression. he wondered if her constant arrogance was genuine, or if she wore as much of a mask as he did. “you’ve known me seven years. surely you picked up on it at some point.”

“compliments get throw in my direction quite a bit, after all. i guess i just haven’t noticed it from you.” lucinda played with a single split end on her hair. it had been bothering her all day. “that and my life can be relatively exciting, it can be hard to keep track of more lives then just my own.”

kingsleysshacklebolt:

“of course you are, lucinda.” kingsley gave the girl a slow smile, picking his words carefully. “but i think even an entire garden can’t match you.”

“glad someone else agrees.” she replied with a condescending grin. “why mr. shacklebolt, i never saw you as being such the smooth talker. looks like the castle lothario has some competition for making women swoon.”

“ well, I do try. couldn’t let anyone think one flower was it. “

“of course i would get more then one flower, someone has obviously rigged it against me.”

“ I have no doubts that your standard will be met. just have some faith. people are shy, but when it comes down to the wire, why wouldn’t they want to send you some? “

“you make an excellent point.”

“ I — thank you? I think. so I’ll take your advice, but with a grain of salt. I don’t think there’s anything so enchanting about my gaze that has the ability to be so sinister. but if you, o wise and beautiful one, can recommend something for me to nip any unfair advantages in the bud, I’m all ears. if those are indeed the kinds of ropes you have to show. maybe some sunglasses? hm. I don’t want to think I’ve caused pain. “

“there is. it’s a glisten or a sparkle of trouble. it is only trouble for those around you. it will do nothing to you but make your life a little more fun.. or at least fun in my book. i find it charming when you have multiple people throwing themselves in your direction. just know that some feelings will have to be pushed about in the process. how to nip it? hm.. probably just let everyone you’re interested in know right away that they have no chance. that way they don’t get their hopes up. sunglasses would do nothing, just make you look like this ‘danny’ character in the play they are doing this month. maybe they just didn’t tell you that you hurt them.”
