𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓: the eighth annual ministry gala 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: @kxbellem
‘ Finnigan? — Talk about scraping the barrel, Bellamy. ’ It’s an interesting approach : the way they appear at her side, two champagne flutes already in hand and actively insulting the company she’s chosen to keep. Arm extends immediately after to offer drink, as if the free liquor might soften the blow. Far easier though, Marcus decides, than admitting he’s relieved to see her. Knox is one of the few people they can stand to be around and, in turn, she puts up with him ( or rather, his flare for DRAMATICS ) — albeit it somewhat begrudgingly at times. ‘ Surely you had other suitors. Preferably ones that don’t belch loudly during the presentations. ’ Not that they cared much about the interruption. If anything, it was very much appreciated, the dulcet tones of a Ministry worker practically sending them to sleep, but still. Any opportunity to sneak in another dig. Call it his distraction, a brief ( far too brief ) escape from behaving themself. ‘ Or did you bring him for profitable purposes? Are you taking bets I haven’t heard about? ’
