Such festive plans and thoughts...

[Tigger]

Back to the world of Dee we go, doing Dee things...
Miss the old one yet that used to just play with tanks..?

(Still pre-Christmas in story line.) 




*Somewhat of a noisy dimly candle lit festive gathering at Lord Rothersbys estate. Many foreign political figures and native "Terran" dignitaries mingle, some Church and Association too.* 
Music plays:   www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdxBEU4VNj8

Dee: *Looking round the room, listening at voices.*




Dee: *Makes eye contact with a man, he pauses direct in eye contact, then quickly looks away.*



*Time passes as Dee continues to eyeball the man, thumbing her sword... The man always keeping people between himself and Dee.* 



*Lord Rothersby notices this, exchange...*

Rothersby: *walks over to Dee. "Baroness...?"

Dee: "Yes Mi'Lord?"

Rothersby: "Your dead stare at the guest senator and thumbing your hilt is starting to trouble me... Is there going to be a problem?"

Dee: "He is a spook, I have seen his past deeds in foreign lands and involvements here." 

Rothersby: "Yes, and now he is a foreign senator, and a guest. We have to try best accommodate to them whilst they are here, within reason. Gatherings like this are for making peace, not edging more to friction..."

Dee: "Within, reason, what...?"

Rothersby: "....Dee.... No..."




*One of Dee's guards returns.* 

Dee: "Worry not, Mi'Lord. One will refrain from stringing him up by the throat on YOUR courtyard..."  

Rothersby: "...You worry me at times, Dee..."

Dee: "Spiffing, then I am doing my job correctly."

Rothersby: "...Let it go, for now. Go, have some fun and mingle, rather very odd seeing you wall flower." *They nod and Rothersby walks back to the many guests. Dee waits for good distance.*

Dee: "Sargent..."

Guard: "Baroness?" 





Dee: "Inform the rest of my guard to listen out quietly if any Terran dignitaries get invited to any private parties or gatherings. Report any rumors back to me, AFTER they inform Tay immediately. Go."

Guard: "As you wish, Baroness."



*The guard walks off with task.*

Dee: "Spiffing." 




*Dee goes back to tapping the tip of her hilt whilst looking round the room.* 



Lady: "Awwww, does The Black Baroness want someone bigger to flick that little nobble for ya, Mi'Lady..?"




Dee: "?! What the deuce?! Cassy?!"

Cassandra: "Hmhmhmhm! Hello..."




Dee: "Shoo, we will get shot."

Cassandra: "No, come kiss me."

Dee: "No, shoo. How did you get invited?!" 

Cassandra: "Hmm, I guess even the Church like to put a pretty face forward, without really saying it..."

Dee: *Nods* "Fair point."





Cassandra: "Quickly, come kiss me."

Dee: "I... I cannot.. Please... One needs to focus..."

Cassandra: "Hm, I will desist, for now. IF! If you tell me you love me..." 

Dee: "....I... I love you..." *Touches her hand lightly to Cassy's*

Cassandra: *gasp!* "Sinner! Hmhmhm!"




Cassandra: *walking away.* "I will see you after, Kira invited me up to their house, you can meet me there."

Dee: "What?!"

Cassandra: "Bye bye."




Dee: *Pulling at her collar with bad nerves...* "Ahem!"




Dee: (...........I best go see them later, at home...)




Dee: *rubbing her tight collar again...*

Tay:Coms: "Never mind stringing him, how is the noose round your neck, huh?" 

Dee: "......Heavy......."

Tay:Coms: "...yeah... Secrets is heavy... Tay no like..." 

Dee: "How true indeed, my robot friend."

Hmm. Stories of political intrigue. I'd watch that one Dee. Once a spook. Always a spook. Im long retired but still get information. Hear things. Always watched. It's not a job that just ends.

Who does this man represent?

Also kind of shocking seeing Cassie out in the open. I know its frowned on but would they really make you stretch hemp for that?

[Lurker]

If Dee still played with her tanks, maybe she wouldn't get into quite as much trouble. Hehe.

Yeah, I think it was a good idea that Dee told her guards to listen for anything suspicious, that man seems like trouble.  

Cassandra sure seems bold!  I wasn't expecting her to be there either.  And Kira invited her over?  Oh no, I'm not so sure about that.........

Tay is right too, secrets are heavy.

(Good one, I like the photos. )

Quite, once a spook always a spook, usually only one way out of that game.
One does know how it goes, they get people of power at some nice little secluded party, film them doing something stupid-illegal, then use them to rot your land out from the inside.

Represent? Charlie   Indigo    Alpha

There are others with Cassy of, lets say higher standing, and some of her "sisters". 
They would not hang us, no no. One was on the lines of more metaphorical meaning-feeling of secrets we both carry. Although, one does think her punishment would be more direct and swift, mine would be probably drawn out into scandal... -_-;

This is very true. 

It looks like she was sneaking behind from some big curtains, maybe observing. The way she seems to blow hot and cold seems to allure Dee...  I assume she is there to mingle and quietly gather info for the Church, there will be many groups there with many games they are playing, all with a smile. Including as we saw Dee's Company "group". 

Yes, they are indeed. 

(Thank you, happy you enjoyed it. Hopefully not as long a wait for another chapter.   )
