"But I know this place, majesty," Oscar exclaimed upon reaching the inn. She had taken Rose here, not knowing it was not a lady she escorted.

"This will do nicely. I'd rather somewhere I don't know--less chance of me being recognized."
*She glanced about, searching for the proprietor*

*Brandi wiped the floor off her hands as she came out of the kitchen. Huh. She didn't know how she was supposed to act. So she bowed her head politely, but not overly exaggerated.*
"Good afternoon. Can I help you?"

*Marie inclined her head in return*
"We are in need of rooms. Only for tonight."

*Brandi looked briefly between them.*
"Would you like the two next to each other?"
*She pursed her lips as she moved to collect the keys.*

"If it please you... madame," Oscar said deferentially to Marie. "Yes," she said to Brandi. "Please."

*Brandi offered them each a key.*
"Here. The rooms are upstairs on the right. The bathroom's at the end of the hall. There'll be breakfast in the morning, if you'd like it."

"Thank you," she said, starting to reach for her purse--and then stopped. It was gone, of course. Still sitting on the bedside table back in Versailles.
"I..." She bit her lip, at a loss. "I seem to have misplaced--"

Oscar stepped forward smoothly and drew our her purse.
"This should take care of the night," she said, offering Brandi some of the contents. "If the rates are still the same."

*Brandi nodded, taking the cash.*
"That'll be just fine, thank you. Have a pleasant evening. Please just let me know if you need anything." *She smiled genially.*

"Merci, madame."
*She glanced at Oscar, including her in the thanks.*

This way, madame," Oscar ushered her in front of her, up the stairs and to their rooms. "Should anything happen, do not hesitate to call upon me."
She planned to keep watch, to ensure his mistress's safety.

*Brandi watched them go with a curious smile. But there was work to do and she hurried off to do it.*

*She wearily headed up the stairs, pausing in front of her own room with a tired smile*
"Thank you, Oscar. For all of your help. And now, I think, I need to sleep...preferrably for a long time..." She hid a yawn.
