She frowned but when her lady in waiting decided that nothing scandalous would happen she accepted and you climbed with your clutches after her. You saw that she was a bit drunk, she was still young and not accustomed to wine so she seemed not to be able to think clearly. Once in your chambers she sat, tired, on a chair and told.
-My Lord, it will be a pleasure to hear you...
-I am sorry to disturb you about it, but you said, back in Someplace, that we had to be allies. So I have to tell you something, about Baron Crook.
She spoke, maybe hot headed because of the wine.
-Yes... I hate him, may his innards rot...
-And may a plague strike him... But before this I think that we must organise. You see, we are not powerful enough to overthrow him, we need the help of other lords. Lord Salty Rival and Lord Creepy Bitchson are his allies, one is supported by him, the other was made lord by him, filthy upstart commoner... With the death of Lord Hostil he lost an ally but we have only lady Sue and lord Neutral to help us.
She frowned very cutely and told.
-Lady Sue hates me, and lord Neutral, he seems sympathetic but too cowardly to act.
-He talked with me, my Lady, and he shares our objectives, Lord Random, your father, and Lord Neutral were allies once, we must revive this alliance. To free our land and burn this sorcerer !
You were a bit drunk, and furious, and so your words were harsh, but you saw that Lady Takable was even more harsh when she said some shocking things for a lady, even when she wanted to avenge her father.
-Burn him ? No... I will have him thrown to the dogs, it is the only thing that this monster deserves, to be torn apart alive...
She was normally very ladylike and you understood that she would never say it out loud, even to you, if not helped by a bit of wine. You were not a master of intrigue but drunkenness could reveal the deep character of someone, and maybe this young slip of a girl was more terrible than she seemed. Would it not be... Interesting to pour her another glass of wine, and hear her talk about a subject ? Maybe she had plans herself to deal with your common enemies, and she could be ready to talk about them. A darker part of you wanted maybe to use the advantage of wine to help enter into her good graces... Or shall you continue to speak about your plot and inform her of your plans to eliminate lord Creepy Bitchson.
