*Two young ladies eventually made their way back over smiling and curtsied. One, a lovely young blonde, sat beside Will. The brunette’s brow rose and she to the seat by Richard. The blonde spoke gently.*
“Good evening. I am Mary and this is Violet. We were hoping that we might be able to help you find what you were looking for.”
*Will grinned at her and leaned over in his chair, whispering in her ear. She smiled and lowered her head, suppressing a giggle beneath elegant fingers. Then he leaned back, his eyebrow arched.*
“So what do you think?”
*Mary eyed him appraisingly and nodded with a giggle. Will tilted his head to regard Richard and Mary sighed, but nodded again. Then she stood and made her way in front of Richard, offering him her hand.*
“I promise to be gentle if you’ll promise to behave.”
*Violet’s face flooded with relief and she moved to the chair next to Will and took his hand gently, mouthing the words ‘thank you’ discretely to him. Will smiled and looked to Richard.*
“Well go on then, sir. Don’t disrespect the sweet lady.”

Richard looked at Mary and slowly extended his hand toward hers.
"I... er... You look..."
His mouth dropped open and he looked at Will, then back at the girl.
"I'm not really... used... to this kind of thing..."

((Funny...that's what Crane said too.))
"Oh, that's all right."
*Mary took his hand gently and knelt on the carpet in front of Richard. Her other hand gently traced the back of the hand she held.*
"We don't have to rush anything. If you would like to sit and talk first, that's fine by me."
*Will was thoroughly not paying attention, having already coerced Violet to sit on his lap so he might recite some poetry delicately into her ear.*

Richard blinked; his head suddenly felt somwhat less muzzy.
"Right. Talking. Er..."

*Mary sighed softly and shifted to get more comfortable.*
"So your friend tells me that you are a very important man. What exactly do you do?"

Richard looked at Will out of the corner of his eye.
"He told?"
He looked back at Mary.
"I, er, run the Underworld. Part of it, anyway."
((I'm going with the idea that she'll mistakenly think he's some kind of gang leader.))

((He really just said that Richard was a very important man. That's it.))
*Mary looked slightly surprised, but licked her lip and continued politely.*
"That must be exciting. A bit dangerous though."
*She shifted one hand to his thigh and smiled coyly up to him.*
"There's something about men in your line of work...it's so interesting."

((I meant because of the Underworld comment.))
"Really? It can be terribly boring at times."

*Mary pursed her lips gently and tried again, answering sweetly.*
"So then...you are looking for an escape? Something to distract you?"

"I... I think so..."

*Mary brought his hand to her soft lips, pressing them gently against his skin.*
"Well that's very good because I specialize in distraction."
*She traced a series of kisses over his hand and wrist.*

Richard's whole body tensed up.
"Yes... feeling quite distracted now..."

*Mary looked up at him sweetly before kissing his knee reverently.*
"Well, my lord, if you would like, we could adjourn to my chambers and I might be able to help you relax."

"Yes... I think that might help... I hope..."
As he got up, now feeling more like his usual self, he gave Will a bewildered sort of look and then followed Mary down the hall.
