Title: A Lady Goes Riding Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 124 Card: Summer Bingo: (Holiday + Lemonade + Heat + Shade + Riding) Summary: Exactly what the title says. Set some time before Street Magic. Rated for mentions of murder and violence.
She knew through experience that corpses could not be left in desert heat, if she didn't want every single visitor to learn the... disciplinary strategies of her household.
That did not mean she was required to supervise every facet of the headless body's burial. Besides, she rather thought she deserved a holiday after that unpleasantness.
When she did finally leave her mansion, on horseback, it was under a shaded canopy held up by servants. Condensation clung to the glass of lemonade in her hand. Dark eyes watched, not without satisfaction, as the little street urchins, sweltering, eyed her drink enviously.
She loved summer.
Making a gang her playthings would not be difficult, she decided, as long as summer heat continued to parch their wells.

This is a fantastic, if somewhat creepy, insight into Lady Zenadia's mind.

This gives me chills, this cold, manipulation she possesses. Very well-written!

Thank you to you both Well, you know summer isn't all fun and games. Some of the things that bloom are, in fact, evil plans.
