"Is that so? Then if you cannot give me a date, then just give me a price and a slip for thirteen sturdy fans and their cases, and next time I am on Spinster's, I will inquire after the fans."
The silence is pronounced enough that you can tell that this Cossuita had her mark clear and true. For whatever reason, Cassandra <span class="mu-i">didn't</span> want to take this custom, but she went and backed herself into a corner.
" ...Yes, a slip. By your leave, I will have a slip drawn up immediately."
"Splendid."
The fresh silence coming from your left suggest that Cassandra might be coming your way. If you were going to say anything - or raise a stink about being given picknick parasol - this is probably your best, if not your last opportunity to do so. Alternatively, while you wait for Marpessa, you could go and try to speak to this Dame Cossutia - perhaps to apologies for your awkwardness earlier. Or ... as promised, there is a small alcove with refreshments. You could slip over there, and be out of sight to everyone.
