Scarlett had missed the part about someone being dead, and now truly had no idea what was going on. She could hardly ask, however, and so stood back from the family, feeling very much unneeded.

*Rebecca was horrified. She held Rudolf's hand tightly, saying nothing, her dark eyes filled with pain for what her husband must feel--and Treszka. She turned to her new sister-in-law.*
"...I...I'm so sorry...I don't know what to--what to say..."

*She swallowed back the sudden urge to cry*
"It...it was a few months ago. I thought someone had told..."
*She grasped Rebecca's free hand*
"It's okay. I'm just glad that we-we gained, after such loss."

*Rudolf was simply staring into space, holding his wife's hand. Granted, Renn had been more like a friend than a mother, but she was in a way what little family he'd had left. And now, she was gone.*
"I'll...muddle through, somehow. I have to. The coronation is later today--"

*Becca nodded, holding tightly to a hand of each sibling, as if trying to bind them together in this moment when brother and sister so needed one another.*
"I'll not replace her, Treszka," *she said softly, smiling sadly.*
"...you can make it--just make it through today, Rudolf...step by step...you needn't do anything all at once," *she said encouragingly, her hand resting on his shoulder now.* "...would you like to take a rest--I'm certain I can explain to the family if you wish to go and find some peace and quiet right now..."

*He nodded* "I think it'd be best if I retired for now...until the coronation, of course." *He was holding back his reaction, mostly so as not to cause a scene, though people were already glancing furtively in their direction *

*She gave Becca a sad, though friendly, smile*
"This means, of course, you're stuck with me."
*She glanced in the direction of where Tony had gone. She got odd vibes, even from his mere passing*
"Could you excuse me for a moment?"

"Of course," *said Becca--and a moment later, both had left her. She returned alone to her seat, sitting to crumble a biscuit between her fingers, still not eating anything and waiting until she could politely leave the table.*

Scarlett was seated as well, biting her lip, wishing she knew what was happening and what she was supposed to do and why marrying the perfect man had to be so very perplexing.

((I guess we can move on from here to the coronation thread?))
