>"Ah, yes, of course then. Nicole, if that's not too bold."It absolutely is; what on earth is she *doing*? She smiles a little at Coco's demands and does her best to relax.
>"I'll leave the matter of your diet to the two of you. It is not really my place to control that. But, umm, yes, absolutely. It would be an honor to accompany you to this party, Nnnnn.....nicole."She looks at Elyssa, who's been watching the scene unfold with a controlled expression.
>"Elyssa, would you use your phone to contact the fleet officer and have them prepare a, um..... limo-zeen? for an excursion into Spaghetti Town, to meet us in the front courtyard?"Elyssa's face tightens a little bit.
>"Why, of course. I hadn't anticipated that your duties of supervising Nikki Kade's access to the Royal Archives would include accompanying her on a date to a party in Spaghetti Town, Valari, or I would have made preparations sooner. I hope you find your experiences tonight..... very fulfilling."Elyssa's eyes narrow, and she pulls out her phone and stabs a quick message into it with her forefinger, as Valari turns to depart, arm-in-arm with Nikki.
