            “ A  VERY  BUSY  WOMAN, as expected, of course. ” never mind that george had gone back a little over a month ago around the same time euphemia had which meant the scottish queen would find herself with another headache at the mere inkling of bad press; the youngest had an affinity for such things. “ she says hello. ” or she would if she were here. the blonde gave a nod to the shortbread wrapped with a green plaid ribbon, “ those are her favourites. mine as well, i think we share the same taste. ” and then effie paused as if to await the compliment she fished for that she was in fact just like the queen of scotland. 

            “ NO, JUST THERE. ” effie directed the man to place the large box that could best be likened to a giant hat box with a fanciful pattern on the table. “ i couldn’t remember which was your favourite candy and biscuit so i got one of everything only made in scotland … that i like. ” euphemia made a quick pivot to make sure the man hadn’t left. “ if you don’t like it we can have him send it away. ” she only gave a slight tilt of her blonde head to the stranger of topic. 

“Oh, hello, Nastya.” Klaus said, trying to swivel around smoothly to greet Anastazya. However, with the pain dotting many of his movements, the swivel wasn’t exactly smooth. It was fine, it was fine, he could recover. “Some days are better than others,” though none had been great, really. Maybe the first day, with all the fussing and attention he got. But it had naturally died down since then. “But I’m doing better, now.”

“it’ll be the day after his birthday, i believe. just a crowning in front of the nobles. they’ll be doing a much grander ceremony some time next year, when the whole thing with basel is settled.” it didn’t seem right to do such a large celebration in their current predicament, they had more pressing matters to discuss. “i certainly hope they have the decency to stop an actual war from happening.” catherine frowned, she hardly wanted to jump from one war straight into another. “is anyone friendly with arnauld d’orleans?” certainly not her. “no, not particularly. why, has he done something?”

“i’ll get pass the part i’m saying is a date with me,” she should have thought it was too early to try and pitch all of them together, to be, at least, normal on some level. “one of these days, i’ll lock everyone in a room until all is short and we are all at peace.”

          “   i’d hardly call thirty-three old.   ”     what  was so wrong with getting older ?     “   but    alright,   i can make an evening for you   –   a whole day is sorely out of the question,    though.   ”

“optics with time, he didn’t want to promise anything before making sure the transition to his rule after the coronation will be as seamless as possible.” she wont tell her cousin that he was far too much of a coward to do so. “although… he called it a coup. which isn’t exactly wrong. but as soon as people know the truth, the better.” it had always been a risk for milena romanova to gamble her life and position upon something that could be so easily proven. catherine herself wouldn’t dare make the same choice, if placed in the same circumstance — there were simply too many variables. “anyway, what do you know about this duke? he’s quite reasonable from what i can tell, but i don’t know him very well. we’ve only had the one meeting.” 

                        “    it’s really not so bad  ;  nothing like being at home for the holidays, but enjoyable.    ”    everybody loves a ball and a feast, although he imagines they’ll get tiring after a certain amount of times.    how long does it take to become bored of the same routine every year  ?    “    it might actually help you feel like it’s christmas, if we end up stuck here for the festivities.    it might be a good idea to bring some snow back.    ”    it would blend in with the sand  !    until it melts into nothing.    still, the idea of snow being so close makes him smile.    “    that is a long story.    i’ll tell you during the boat trip, if you still want to hear it.    ”

“you should come with us,” the invitation rushes out as the idea comes to mind, if anything it would help make things easier for her ––– her family adored anastazya as their own. “the parades are always fun, we can even bring aleks and if you come they will pay more attention to you, it will make it easier for me to warn them up with the news.”  she offers, growing intrigued by the response she may receive. “we can celebrate your birthday together, it’ll be fun.”

“so i tried convincing max about belarus, it didn’t work.” she tsked impatiently, quite frustrated at herself that she hadn’t managed the one goal she had set for herself. “i thought it was obvious that france is the lesser of two evils — they can’t even hold on to bloody luxembourg while russia gained the entirety of finland.” at least in western europe france had met their match in germany, but russia could grow into much more of a monster if they remain without opposition. “what do the romanians think? or the bulgarians? the rest of the balkans will follow if you have bulgaria on the duke’s side.” ( @anastazyas​ ) 

“You haven’t seen Maite, right?” Helena whispered gingerly. She knew that her sister wouldn’t come to the bull run because she had other affairs to handle. The comfort of knowing her sister was safe maintained her mood for a moment before she realized the worst was yet to come. From the appearance of her mangled arm and scraps, it would throw her sister into a tizzy “..I need to get discharged and release a statement before you gets here. Can you help change my my shirt.” she waved to her Ana with a sour expression. The I heart Spain shirt only punctuated her defeated attitude . 

“ I’M SURE SHE’S ON HER WAY. ”   words cushioned as an apology, despite anastazya personally sending her friend a text to let her know about helena. and to think, natska almost didn’t attend the event !   “ you ought to wait for her before releasing a statement, i’m sure she’ll want to be here with you. but i’m already one step ahead of you. ”   the eyesore of a shirt had been the first thing she noticed when visiting her, which is why she’s able to produce a blouse from her bag. she smiles sheepishly at the color :   red.   “ i told my assistant to pick something up for you. the color is a little tasteless, i apologize. how are you feeling ? ”

                        “    it varies, depending on whether there is an event of some sort to attend.    we do love our parties  …    ”    he chuckles.    despite the christmas balls and dinners that seem to be thrown about every year, he doesn’t think anything can match the feeling of being at home on christmas morning.    “    have you ever been  ?    ”    his ventures to spain have primarly been focused on the busy cities.    “    twelve years, give or take.    i imagine it would have been longer had i not been forced to retire early.    ”

     - ‘ OH, I- ’ she could feel heat going to her cheeks. ‘ i kind of always wanted to have an exhibit at an art gallery. i thought the pictures i’m taking in the programme would make an interesting concept. ’ or a very stupid idea. that’s why she hadn’t voiced it out loud until now. ‘ but i don’t know if i’ll ever do it, it’s just a thought. why, thank you. can you repeat that and i’ll record to send to my old photography professors ? ’
