Felicity was glad he hadn't told her to go home or been mad at her stupid comment of a good reason. Losing one's livelihood at the hands of a rogue troll wasn't a good thing in the slightest. And as embarrassing as it was, she was clearly on track to making a fool of herself in front of the man she'd been smitten with for years.

"A bitch of a sister," she said bluntly before her cheeks covered with embarrassment and she clapped a hand over her mouth in shock. She started giggling before long though and ended up taking another drink of her own bottle of firewhiskey once she'd stopped. "Cat thinks she should be in charge in father's home even though she hasn't been there in years and she has no idea what he needs. Bratty children wreaking havoc aren't helping him any and he won't even leave his rooms again even though I'd just managed to get him to coming back out again." She prattled on, her sentences perhaps getting longer as she went. She sighed when she was done and took another drink.
