SHE SUPPOSED it was fair, if you weren’t born into it, or if say, you hadn’t spent most of your life living this sort of life. but since she had spent most of her life living as an elite and a royal, she can’t say she related. but she was sympathetic… not that sierra would ever be caught dead admitting it out loud. “well, i suppose you might need to give people a chance. but that’s completely up to you,” she remarked with a shrug. she’s not judging him, and if she could tell the truth, she would. sierra was well aware of the listening ears, so she had to choose her words carefully. “it’s my family’s party, but not specifically my own party,” she smiled slightly. then her voice dropped to a whisper. “not a lot of good company here, i’m afraid. everyone’s far too busy trying to find dirt on each other, so best be careful with what you let slip.”
