Nana curled her fingers back up as Lucifer took her exit. She certainly couldn’t hold the reaction against the dramatic Fairest, no matter who had made that particular bed, when smothering was something Nana had been guilty of more than once. Wolfgang’s veiled threat wasn’t anything she took to heart, at least anymore than she did on a daily basis with the kind of clients she kept. All that left was Rhodes.
“Do as you please, Rhodes. My offer was to see if she would take some sort of responsibility for this. If you still wish to do that for her and provide the clemency that I would expect of a Sovereign as standard, that’s none of my business.” She picked up one of Lucifer’s production pamphlets still splayed out on the table and folded it to fit easier into her hand. She made her way to where Rhodes stood and looked up to him with the stern gaze returning. “I won’t be an enemy for your hopes to the crown, not exactly anyway. I will still be testing your conviction. This is a great honor and not one that I want to see bestowed simply because you were in a race of one or because someone thought it was theirs to bargain away before even being given.”
She sighed as she looked to the stained table and took stock of the close to empty room’s dimensions before turning back to him. “We will still need to consider our presentation for the upcoming Coronation. I trust that won’t be any trouble for you and that my input would only be out of depth. Still, let me know if you require assistance or simply an ear to bounce ideas off of. I will be crafting a – presentation of sorts. Something to display what Autumn is capable of and what it symbolizes to me, at any rate. If you would, please consider this my challenge and meet me before the Freehold with your own best when the time comes. In the meantime, be in touch if need be,” and she passes on her contact information to him. Once concluding the final business there, she set out to make the dimly-lit walk back to her van -- testing the breaks a few times extra before leaving the lot.
Nana will also be heading out unless wanting anything big to back and forth about before wrap. Similar thanks for the drama-filled fun!
