*Shadi crept carefully through the gloom on silent cat-feet ((not literally)), examining the props and sets as she went. Someday, she'd have to look at these more carefully--find out if any of them were worth anything. But for now...*
Before she died, Mama said my father was a dark and mysterious figure who came only in darkness. That he was a magician with his hands. An eccentric. Or was it exotic? Oriental? No. Anyway, I'm sure if I look hard enough, I'll find him. After all, what better place for a street urchin of dubious past and morals to seek her unknown father?
*There was a noise. Never one to hide, Shadi broke her silence.*
"Is someone there? Show yourself!"

*emerges from the darkness slowly*
He-hello?
*focuses on Shadi as her eyes finally adjust to the darkness and sighs in relief, pressing a tiny white hand to her heaving bosom*
Oh! I'm sorry little boy, you frightened me!

I'm. Not. A. Boy.
*Shadi sighed. Stupid people. Stupid girls.*
What are you doing here? Are you following me?

*Georgiana enters and sees Bonnie Marie with a young boy.*
Drat!. I had hoped to find her alone.
*She walks towards her smiling.*
"Oh there you are cousin!. We never got to finish our little chat!"

*Arielle comes bouncing in* Ohmigoodnessgraciousgosh! Hi, Georgiana! Hi, Bonnie-Marie! Hi- *She realizes she doesn't know the last person's name* Oh, I don't know your name. What is it? I'm Arielle. *She flashes a charming smile at the... person before turning her gaze to the other two* Am I inturrupting? I'm so sorry if I am! I was just poking around... I just realized that I haven't ever been down here! *She laughs sweetly* Shall I leave you two- um, three- alone?

*Shadi rolled her eyes.*
"I don't care what you all do. Are you all following me?"
So much for searching for hiding people. Who are all these silly women?

*Arielle's eyes widened slightly with hurt, and an urge to snap back overcame her* Of course we aren't following you, boy. Most likely it is the opposite. Any inquiries I may have made as to yourself were merely politeness, though I suppose I shouldn't have expected it to be returned. *She smiled frostily before edging the girl out of the circle she formed with the two de Chagnys and lowered her voice* I'm sorry, Georgiana, Bonnie-Marie. I wish you didn't have to see me be rude. *She took a deep breath before summoning a sincere smile* I should go before we start fighting. *She pushed a lock of glittering brown hair behind her ear* Have either of you seen Francis today? I was thinking about taking a walk or going to lunch somewhere, but I haven't seen him in hours.

*links her arm with Arielle's in a best-friend-y way, leaning over confidentially*
Francis? Is he that freakishly tan man I've seen you with, despite the fact that I've never actually taken place in a scene in which I've seen the two of you together or, in fact, met him at all? What's going on between the two of you? *giggles*
*begins to wander off with Arielle as they chat, in order to piss off Georgiana*

*Arielle giggled slightly* Yes, that's Francis! He's from Australia. I met him when he first came in, and he drew a picture of me and Lune, and he asked me to the ball! And I fainted in the attic, though I can't quite remember why, and he carried me to the infirmiry and helped me get better! *She realized they were going to leave Georgiana* Oh, bye Georgiana! See you later!

*Georgiana smiled sweetly and waved Goodbye.*
"I will get you yet."
*She muttered in an inaudible whisper.*

*Shadi watched the creepy blonde girl, as the others walk away. She quirked an eyebrow.*
"'Get her'? What do you want to 'get her' for?" *She leaned in conspiratorially.* "What's the take?"
