The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

I'm pretty sure nobody is dafter than you Meadow.

*Philomena finishes Garli's nails pours everyone a glass of wine.*

Where are you?

*She walks over to the window and gazes out into the star-filled night*

*Relieved at the unusual lingo, Esper looks at Meadow feeling slightly embarassed that she has no clue what dafter means but will not ask any time soon.

I was about to say, I am thankful spirits don't have tongues!

*Esper laughs at her misinterpretation.

Garli, that is the perfect blue to match your gown.

Philomena, you look gorgeous in any amount of linen; be it more or less.

*Garli continues to look thoughtful as she watches Philomena finish shaping her nails*.

Really? I wonder if they'd gossip about me? Need more varnish.... Yes Esper, they do look lovely don't they?

*She places them against the materail of her dress and nods and grins*.

Yes, a good match.

*She looks across at Meadow*.

The wizard's name?.... Orloc I think.... Can't really remember. He had a bald head and a beard.

*She chuckles*.

To think.... All that magic at his fingertips yet he was bald.... Silly really.

*She starts to hum to herself and looks at her nails proudly*.

I like Kalvos. He's very nice. I'm looking forward to the wedding.

*She smiles at the Princess*.

They're beautiful Philomena. I'm so happy that I have such good friends. Beautiful ones too.

'Meadow looks disappointed'

I knew a wizard once....he introduced me to jelly babies..............

What's the worry Meadow? Looking for a hot date for the wedding?

How are the arrangements going with all of the drama lately, Philomena?

You would not like being gossiped about like that Garli, trust me. I am used to the scrutiny of court life, all princesses are raised to be used to it but the Gollema society is rabid in their thirst for scandal. If you are young, rich and beautiful then your whole life becomes fodder for the tabloids.

*She looks out the window again*

A peaceful life Garli, that is the best thing. The man you love and a lake to call your own. That is all that matters.

*The mermaid runs her fingers through her silky hair*

The wedding? We have made no plans. I can't even get Kalvos to set a date or say what he is wearing.

*She looks at Garli in despair*

He joked about wearing nothing but a smile. Who jokes about clothes?

Don't worry about him being bald Meadow. If he is not hot enough I am sure Volgon can take care of that.

*Esper winks at Meadow
