Hm...

[westport_grey]

Well, I can't say that I'm sure I'll like this, but as my Benny-wenny is here... *smirks slightly*

I'm Alison Coffins, maiden name Grey, of the Westport Greys. Please do not get on my nerves, my father is a very influential man.

And...I see that some of Benny's old friends who are bums and a worthless lot, really, and I don't know WHY he insists

Goodness, if he married you, I'm glad I've yet to talk to this 'Benny.'

...*smiles fakecharmingly* I am La Sorelli. A ballerina. My parents are people of no consequence, but you shouldn't get on my nerves anyway, because that just isn't polite.

[westport_grey]

*raises her eyebrows* He made a wise career choice. And he's quite good-looking.

Well, I don't look down on you for your heritage, there's not much you can do about that. I actually took ballet lessons as a child. Very good career possibilities, if you're good enough.

[lasorelli]

*a little taken aback* How good of you to say. I was, in fact, the principle dancer at the Paris Opera. *preens*

...can't really look down on you for that, as I'm doing the same thing. Though not BECAUSE he's handsome and rich.

[westport_grey]

*smiles politely* Well, that is indeed quite an accomplishment, Mlle. Sorelli. It's not many dancers that can claim even to have danced at the Paris Opera, much less be the principle.

[lasorelli]

...here I was all set to dislike you.

Lunch sometime? I do think we will get along.

[westport_grey]

Well, some people do get that first impression. *shrugs saucily*

Lunch sounds wonderful. I know some lovely cafes in Paris...

[lasorelli]

*grins* I'll give you the honor of treating as I haven't married into money just yet.

[westport_grey]

*laughs* Oh, certainly! I absolutely adore luncheons with friends and possible friends...I would be more than happy to treat. Although you will certainly have to return the favor once you have married.

[lasorelli]

'course I will! I may be in the theatre and thusly mostly lacking in manners, but I do have some. Wednesday, say?

[westport_grey]

*nods* It's a date, then. Shall I meet you at the Opera House?

[lasorelli]

Sounds wonderful!
