She shuffled up on her chaise to accommodate Vivi, though she tucked her feet up on it with her, feeling far too at home to resist. Of course, she felt at home with this bunch, no matter where they were based for the day. She fancied she knew them all rather well by now.
And she fancied Christobal wasn’t taking kindly to everyone disagreeing with him. In all honesty, she found it rather amusing, how easy he was to upset - but on the other hand, he was a great deal more entertaining to spend time with when he was in a good mood. “Well, Christobal’s the expert,” Ester put in smoothly for those purposes alone, letting he and Emrys take on the nitty-gritty of the painting’s composition. (She could see little wrong with the shepherd’s proportions.)
Instead, she smirked at Vivienne, and interjected, “Oh, but I think the two of us could distinguish the decent men from the others without much trouble, couldn’t we, Vivi?” Set Vivienne loose on any number of men and that would serve to separate those who were only pretending to be the upright sort. Men were just not terribly good at pretending.
