(2003) In like a Lion...

[Lenora]

As Lenora departs the company of the Prince, she catches Jacque's glance as he departs. She returns it in kind, but hers is marred with a light sense of guilt as she watches him depart.

She would need to mend her mistake soon.

This Lord was without strong allies and her Whip had already proven he could be formidable. She had a need for that.

Lenora would remain in court only briefly, granting Jacque the respect to exit alone. Then she would depart, quietly ascending the stairs as she pondered the night's misstep and an uncertain future.

Lenora leaves the scene.

[Dirt Nap]

Dirt Nap follows the example and leaves for the night, giving respectful nods to all that are left and an especially respectful and deep nod to the Prince.

Dirt Nap leaves the scene.

[Twist]

"I have," Twist reassured her before exchanging final farewells. And then with a nod to the Keeper, a deeper one to the Prince, Twist made her exit.

Twist exits court.

[Mable Wood]

Only a few of us left in court. I will be closing tonight and will open formal court tomorrow.

[Mable Wood]

Thank you all for coming to Court

Mable closes the doors and starts the clean up....
