“ i was expecting someone to show up in a dress made of recycled plastic. i’m lucky i didn’t bet on it. ” [ ;; @hshqstarters· ]

he shook his head, “no, i don’t. i’m looking into it but we don’t have any information. the plane can’t stay in the air forever. it has to come down one way or another.” it was the sort of casually practical phrase that sounded cold he tried not to say in front of aisling. “we’re going to find them. but my money is on human intervention.”

“ At least none of us or Reggie was on the plane. ”It was the only soothing detail about the whole situation. “ Human intervention ? Like an accident ? We would have known by now.”

“Your decision to stay put was a great idea, Aissy. Although, you would have liked the eco-friendlier options and stalls.” Ronan teased lightly. The humorous quip masked the relief he felt knowing that she wasn’t tied up with the chaos that came after. “I wanted to see how you were doing..since the engagement. Mimi noticed that you were a bit down and I was a bit scarce that night so I’m here to bother you about it.”

michael knows exactly what he would have done if aisling had been on that plane. it would have involved irish special forces and a silent thanks to god for the collapse of the icc. “don’t even let it cross your mind, love. everything is fine. i’m right here. we’re both safe and that’s what matters.” of course natalia wasn’t which was eating at him.

She gave her brother a hug. “ That was too close.” She would now always have fear in the back oh her head when Michael or a loved one would be on a plane.  “ Do you know what’s going on ? ” She had no idea herself. “ Do you think they crashed ? Or something else ?” 

she can see a blonde in the distance. if she looks long enough to figure out if it’s olimpia or fanni, or even verona di savoia, she would be staring. a pretty smile for acquaintances is easier to conjure than it is for family, so she steps back, intending to turn away and engage the nearest person in deep conversation. the collision she feels at her back however, makes her choice for her. “ oh hi, ”   whites flash, lips spreading as brightly as can be. “ you’re — ”  who is she ?  “ um you were at the event ! ”  events are a dime a dozen, the girl will remind her hopefully.  “ you looked very nice, i spotted you. how are you doing ? ”   [ @highnessaisling· ]

“Ah, I remember my first time,” Mimi sighed, mock nostalgic, and squeezed Aisling’s thin shoulder. “I was twenty-two. Just joined the programme. My boyfriend was English. She - the fiancée -  was German…The next fiancée was Spanish. The third was Irish, if I remember correctly…Can’t blame him for that, I suppose…It really does get easier.” Although it hadn’t, when it was Gio. It had actually been worse with Gio, than with Vincent. She cared more.

“Well if you don’t want an engagement then what about something a little less…Committed?” She nudged Aisling, trying to cheer her up and make her giggle. “Come on. There are, like, twelve other Italians to choose from.”

It was the longest Aisling had heard Mimi talk about her feelings or love life. Had she not been too focused on her own drama, she would have been able to appreciate the moment they were sharing. “ You dated one of the English princes ? Which one ? ” She did not remember that. Aisling really needed to pay more attention to the gossips. “ I’m not looking for easier because I hope it’s the first and last time this happens to me.”
