[q]Is it? Nice, I mean.[q] It was small talk and Kac shouldn't tease the other woman so, but it wasn't a matter of if, but when, this marriage would most likely take place at this time. Their fathers were already off sealing their fates. And if Kaczor knew her parents, they'd probably be swept off for an immediate ceremony, to not allow her time to run Ella off. She noted the way Ella sat, before leaning against the inner circle of the solar, the marble behind her stark white in comparison to her sun darkened skin. [q]You're being sold to my family. Married to me. And I'm not the nicest person ever. So, is it really nice?[q]
Something about the situation had her irritated, far more than she should be. Maybe it was how timid Ella was. She had expected another spoiled brat, honestly, and here was someone that wasn't rising to the verbal bait, nor engaging back, but continuing to be…
Composed.
It made Kaczor look like an asshole, and she knew it. Maybe later, when her blood wasn't boiling so badly at the absurdity of this poor girl being brought to her like this, no chaperone, no maid to show her in. And of all of the girls, and boys, that had been brought before Kaczor, Ella seemed to be the only one that didn't immediately demand something.
Food, drink, a better seat, her undivided attention. No. She made cordial small talk, and only entered Kac's domain once she had acknowledged her. [q]It's not meant to be a trick question. Even if I sound like an ass for it. Better for you to know my faults now before they settle the books behind closed doors. So to speak. Do you have any questions? Any reason why I shouldn't stop them?[q]
