*Philippe winced slightly at the contact but then slowly nodded to her. It was well meant, he knew there was nothing more in it.*
"I will do."
*He chuckled.*
"I have learned perhaps to keep my word."

*She smiled a little at that*
"I've always trusted your word far more than Raoul's."

*Philippe smirked.*
"Then I have succeeded in life."
*He bowed.*
"If you will excuse me, I am glad to have met you again."

*She gave a little bow in return*
"Of course. And yes, it was good to see you again."
*Her eyes showed that she wanted to say more, but it was words that could not be said. Not anymore.*
"Pardon me, I'm keeping the head of the house from his guests." She continued, hoping her words would distract from the brief pause.

*Prince waved a dismissive hand and looked away.* "ƒraηco. Yoμ'v3 heard oƒ him. †hi$ bore$ m3," *he went on, looking out over the crowd. Suddenly he turned back to Scarlett.* "ϖoμ|d yoμ b3 iη†ere$†ed iη a game oƒ ba$ke†ba||?" *She didn't, but it wouldn't do to let on. She also had no idea what "basketball" meant. Perhaps it was some sort of dance. Or card game. Anything had to be better than this.* "Why, you flatter me!" *she simpered.* "Ah'd be delighted."

*His Grace Sir Samuel Vimes stood uncomfortably in the corner. He hated these events, including the very fact that he was obligated to go to them. Still, at least the appetizers were good. And if he hadn't been on the wagon, he was sure he would have liked the wine*

*The sudden loudness of the man in the very strange garb made Sorelli nearly jump out of her skin surprise*
"What on earth?!"

*In reply, Prince burst into song, covering up the lovely waltz in the background.*
"Imagin3 h0lding P|ane† Ear†h/ In †he pa|m 0f y0ur hand/ Wi†h n0 regard f0r y0ur p|ace 0f bir†h/ 0r c|aim 2 any |and."

*She hadn't expected him to burst into song. He had a way of singing that she'd never heard before, though he wasn't all that bad. Still, she was staring at him as though he'd lost his mind*
"I don't even know what basketball is."

*Prince stared measuringly back. She would make a lithesome player. He approved.
Also, he liked people looking at him like he was insane. Else he was all dolled up for nothing.
So, after a long moment, he said loftily,* "I can †each y0u."

*He was rather unsettling, and she glanced about at the others in the room. Why were they all just standing around gawking?*
"I, er, think I'll pass. I have...rehearsals and such...very busy..."

*Scarlett paused a moment, trying to figure out what he'd said. She thought maybe "cr3w" had something to do with slaves, but she wasn't certain.*
"My servants are not present either," *she said loftily. But she had not learned to dance and fit into a corset only to lose all knowledge of climbing trees and riding horses.* "Perhaps, just this once, I might condescend to do this... 'basketball'... on my own."
*Perhaps it was some sort of craft.*
