It seemed as though Bellona had sensed the touchy subject that was the PSYR event she had failed to attend and purposely honed in on it. So much time and effort wasted on the damned thing, and as Mrs. Mulciber had pointed out, it had been the perfect stage upon which to make a triumphant return. Now she'd have to settle for something else and it probably wouldn't be as good and was it all worth it in the end? Probably not.
"Yes, well, really I thought it sounded rather unappealing. I've never had any sort of inclination to go to India, there are a dozen places Evelyn Pendergast might have chosen that are far nicer. It was probably more affordable to host it there." Hopefully it had been at least minimally impressive so she sounded as though she knew what she was talking about. "Perhaps those shoddy portkeys have something to do with her frugality but who can say for sure. Thank goodness you're safe." Tig wondered for a moment if she should have tried to sound more relieved, not that she could do anything about it now.
"While we wait for Angeline you should tell me what you've been up to, should I expect to be hearing of a fortuitous arrangement soon?" It might have been a dig at Bellona's marriage prospects, in fact it definitely was, but it wasn't like it was a complete impossibility and perhaps it might prompt some surprisingly juicy gossip from her. Anyway, Bellona would surely enjoy talking about herself for a few minutes and it'd save her having to exert too much energy in holding an actual conversation. Angeline couldn't be more than a few minutes away, it wasn't like her to be late.
