Not long after the incident in the kitchen, Laurent retreated to one of the drawing rooms and promptly pulled out a glass and a bottle of Cognac, and wasted no time in slamming it back.
Carolina had hit the one sore spot, the one thing that could really either set him off into a rage or into a pity spiral. Today was rage, and it manifested in the careless throwing of the glass at the fireplace, shattering it.

((Cognac. Nice. *toasts with her own glass*))

*Olivier leaned against the door frame.*
"That was crystal, you know." *He said, somewhat dryly but more observantly. Growing up together, Laurent had always been the violent, physical one, whereas Olivier tended to clean up the mess he left behind.*

"Gah." He turned to Olivier, rolling his eyes.
"Like we can't afford that." He paused to drink directly from the bottle in his hand.

"Nonetheless, it's unnecessary." *Olivier slid into a chair.* "So what is it this time? Or shall I say who?"

Laurent snorted.
"Two somebodies."

"I swear to God if you've gotten another housemaid pregnant..."
*He'd been legitimately upset over Georgette when he'd heard the news. It was Olivier who'd paid for the midwife and provided the cottage free of rent, but it hadn't mattered. Childbed fever had taken them both.*

Laurent shook his head.
"As far as I know, certainly not. Just...some women can be quite a challenge..."

*Olivier rolled his eyes. Laurent's objectification of women had long been a source of distress to him.*
"Indeed, because they have a right to say no. God forbid."

"Servant girls." He said, as though that explained everything.
And took another drink.

"Indeed, human beings with thoughts and feelings and rights." *He reminded.* "You've gained a reputation, Laurent, and servants are starting to get uncomfortable. Any more incidents and there are a lot of the staff who aren't going to be willing to stay any longer."

"Urgh...you sound like a broken record, Olivier. Servants are servants are servants. I couldn't do any of that with any of the monied ladies, now could I? They're too 'delicate'."
He spat the word the 'delicate' as though it were foul.
"Servants girls, on the other hand..."

"One day you'll wind up married to a shrew with the face of a goat, and I swear to God I'll be laughing in the back of the church at your wedding. For God's sake find a particulier, for all I care, just stop exploiting the employees."

"There's no challenge in that! Mistress." He rolled his eyes.
"A new set of problems. And who says," he swayed, but caught himself on the mantel. "Who says I'm getting married?"

"You're an utter boor when you're drunk, you know that? Impossible to talk to you."
*Olivier stood and made to leave.*
