Mikami had felt a foreboding and darkness lurking around the Mansion for weeks now. He'd been keeping to himself, quietly, but his mind was ever active

Angelique probably spent the past few traumatic days huddled with her husband and with Grey Wind, and it's to be expected that she slept very poorly.

Nonetheless, life must go on - so she will be sitting in the vicinity and working on a shirt and embroidering it with intricate flower patterns. Soon, she'll be working on the sigil - 3 hounds leaping.

It's for Icarus.

He may notice that she looks a little tired and he watches her quietly for a long while. The main vibe he's getting from her is that she seems... pure. Innocent. Certainly not someone evil.

Which makes him feel more protective then threatening.

After some silence, he speaks up, "Hello."

Angelique looks up from the shirt she's embroidering lovingly, and gives Mikami a little smile, a bit tired, but sweet.

"Bonjour, Monsieur..."

"I... I'm sorry I don't speak your language," he says, thinking that must be her only language. But he's bright enough to know that little of French.

Angelique blinks, and says, "-- forgive me, Monsieur, I understand you perfectly..."

[loyalprosecutor]

"Oh. I thought maybe you only spoke French..." He hasn't noticed the auto translating that the Mansion sometimes does.

"What is your name, Miss? I am Teru Mikami."

[fairy_fingers]

"I am Lady Angelique Stark, Monsieur." She smiles a little because she loves talking about how she's married to the best husband ever, even just in passing. "Well met, then."

"You are very polite," he notes, liking that.

[fairy_fingers]

"My thanks," Angelique replies. "It should not be otherwise, no?"

[loyalprosecutor]

"It would be better if everyone was so polite but it is not always the case."

[fairy_fingers]

"Some people are quite rude," Angelique agrees, "but it's certainly because they don't know any better, I'm sure..."

[loyalprosecutor]

"You mean a lack of manners? It's not something taught any longer, not even by parents."

[fairy_fingers]

Angelique thinks you're weird, Mikami.

"... my husband has excellent manners," she says, "and he learned them from his father and mother."

[loyalprosecutor]

"Then he must be very old fashioned." He sounds approving of that.

[fairy_fingers]

She smiles a little, nodding. "Well, I guess I am too, so that's alright, isn't it?"

Angelique shuffles a little in her seat, girlishly.

[loyalprosecutor]

"It's more than alright. People can learn well from the past."
