Title: Burned Rating: PG Pairing: Delia/Josiane Word count: 198 Round: 1H Summary: The two remaining conspirators discuss a new arrival.
"She's foolish to think she has a chance with the prince." Alex's hand curls around the stem of his glass, as if threatening to shatter it.
"She's foolish in general," is Delia's curt reply. It's true: Josiane Rivetton is either very, very stupid or absolutely crazy. She's been at court for a grand total of five days, and it's already clear that she's here for one man, and that man, Delia knows, will drop her like hot metal the moment somebody else catches his eye.
Alex lifts an eyebrow at this. "Maybe she'll be convinced to join our cause when he tires of her. Spurned young ladies tend to become spiteful." He doesn't add you would know, but it's implied by his tone.
She laughs. "I'm not sure she'd be an asset."
"Does she have the Gift?" There's a change in his voice: he's serious now.
She shakes her head slightly. "If she does, it's not strong enough to succeed in our...task."
"Still, she could be useful. Desperate people often are," he says, nodding to Delia.
She sighs. "We'll just have to wait and see, Alex. Maybe she'll become more interesting once she's been burned."

Ooo... I like this very much. I love their schemey ways and all Alex's little bites at Delia.
