Anti-OTP: Mina/Arabella

[minaharker10_2]

*There is a small, rather nice parlor in one fairly empty corner of the Mansion. On this particular day, Mina happens to be sitting there, reading, with the drapes open and a cup of tea beside her. True, she might be sitting away from the direct path of the sunlight, but it's such a pretty day that such a minor detail is hardly noticeable.*

Arabella enters and spends a moment or two looking about-- perhaps out the window, or perhaps at a painting on the wall-- before she notices Mina there. "Oh, please excuse me!"

*Mina doesn't notice Arabella until she speaks, but then she looks up from her book with a perfectly gracious smile* Oh, no, don't worry, there's nothing to excuse!

"I hope I've not intruded."

Not in the least. I'd welcome the company.
