The room you gather in is a small drawing room, with a table and some couches set about a fireplace. There are tall bookshelves on the wall and large windows that open out to a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden.

I'm afraid this isn't something I've heard; it's something I've witnessed with my own two eyes.

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

I've heard the servants whispering, perhaps they're related. Do go on.

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

I'm afraid it concerns-- [lowers her voice] someone in our midst.

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

[nodding] Indeed, I've heard the very same. My dear lady, I fear your reputation and your life are in grave danger.

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

[pfffthahaha] Ah-- I must correct your assumption at once. I am a man, my dear. My wife, I'm sure, will attest to that.

But do go on.

[NORMAL VOICE FOR A MOMENT] Oh, ooops, sorry about that.

[back to FALSETTO] It's about Alexis Cédolin ...

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

[she is only keeping her laughter in check with the hand over her mouth.] Oh, my darling Alexis? What about him?

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

[TRYING SO HARD OKAY!!] You know how servants gossip ...

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

I'm afraid I do. How problematic.

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

They have--[PAUSE, SEARCHING FOR A WORD]--their families are spread throughout service to ours, so they know things we wouldn't necessarily ...

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

Oh, is that so? Is this about my darling Alexis' proclivities in bed again?

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

[sobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb] I-it's more than that, this time ...

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

I assure you, they're just envious of his natural endowments.

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

[ch-chokes] I-I doubt it's anything like that, ma--sir--you know--

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

Oh? Well, I suppose I will try to keep an open mind.

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

It's a knife in his pocket and he's not happy to see you.

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

I assure you, he is very happy to see me.

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

Only for as long as it takes for him to STAB YOU. IN THE GUT.

[makes stabby motions that could probably be misconstrued]

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

Oh, but it's not my gut he's aiming for~.

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

The best time to kill a man is when he's busy with--that.

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

Then I shall have to pat him down very~ thoroughly~ for weapons, shall I not?

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

[dropping the falsetto for a moment] I guess if he tries to choke you with his cock you could just bite.

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

[oh no trying SO HARD not to laugh, but a gigglefit is happening anyway.]

Really, why would I do that to such a, mmm, manly weapon?

Re: Introductions?

[performing]

Defend yourself! And your honor! To the bitter end! Because if you don't ... !

Re: Introductions?

[scalesfromeyes]

My honor is nothing to me without Alexis' sweet caress.
