En uvelkommen distraktion - Satya

Moira O'Deorain sad i sin lille læsestue og var igang med at skrive et digt. Det var et blandt de mange nye ideer hun havde fået, efter at være flyttet her til. Hm .. nej, ikke efter at være flyttet her til, she knew better. Efter at have mødt Angela Morrison. Det var som om en hel ny verden var ved at åbne sig for hende .. hende der havde været så arrogant at tro, at hun allerede forstod sig på alt, hjertet havde at give. Hun smilte svagt og skrev det ned. Arrogant she was indeed .. but never one to deny prooof of her misgivings.

Døren gik op og ind kom Satya i selskab med Drusilla "ah Mr. Morgan" sagde Satya tilfreds "we have a visitor"

Drusilla nejede "how do you do sir?"

Moira sukkede umærkeligt og rejste sig fra sine skriverier. Hun bukkede høfligt mod Drusilla.


"Excelent and you miss?"

"Ah yes very well" sagde hun og smilede "I just came from town... I met Miss Angela, and that.. man she can't keep her hands off."

Satya hævede et øjenbryn "that man?"

Moira rynkede brynene lidt og så hende an. ".. what man?" spurgte hun .. var det mon denne Genji?

"That officer" sagde Drusilla og rynkede på næsen "I am sure she makes eyes at you, every time you are together, but they work together to town often, and they have been seen sharing a kiss"

"A kiss?" spurgte Satya forarget "are they engaged?"

Moira blinkede overraskede og havde det underligt .. hun havde godt vidst han var .. men at miss Angela skulle .. hun rynkede bryene lidt. ".. is it certain they are seeing eachother?"

"They are not engaged, too poor for the family to approve. But that does not mean she do not see him, when they think no one is looking. Subtly was never the Morrisons strong suit." sagde Drusilla

Satya rynkede på næsen "forkasteligt.."

Moira rynkede brynene lidt og tøvede. ".. I must believe I find it difficult to belive miss Angela would do that" sagde hun, selvom hun jo godt nok havde virket meget glad for Genji

"No it is a shame, I blame her upbringing" sagde Drusilla beklageligt

Satya nikkede forstående, med sådan moder..

Moira rynkede brynene lidt og nikkede langsomt. "Hm .. but if they are truly that close, I suppose they will be engaged before long"

"I wouldn't count on it. I fear he will get what he is after and then travel on" sagde Drusilla og fnøs "and she will look for another man who cannot see past her golden hair."

Satya rystede på hovedet "some men.."

Moira rynkede brynene og så ikke ret glad ud. "Hrm .. yes. There are some bad men out there" e.e

"There is indeed" sagde Drusilla og nikkede

"A young girl should know better than to throw herself at the first handsome man she meets" fnøs Satya "from the military? Does he have a name worth knowing?"

Moira rynkede brynene lidt. "I doubt miss Angela has thrown herself at him siply for his looks" sagde hun .. slet slet ikke glad for tanken. "I dare ay he must have her fooled somehow"

"He might very well have" sagde Drusilla "he is the sort of man who flirts and talks with any woman he can get close to, and Miss Angela has not been given much attention lately, with her families poor situation. Perhaps he have promised to elope with her? I doubt he would."

Moira rynkede brynene utilfredst. "If that is the case, than i belive she should be warned of his intentions"

"Ah yes, perhaps one should" Drusilla nikkede lidt

Moira nikkede kort. "Yes. I believe that would be prudent, before it goes completly wrong"

"I fear it might already have" sagde hun "if they are kissing"

Moira rynkede brynene lidt. "Not as bad as it could" sagde hun lit utilfredst

"No perhaps.. or perhaps they have and just been more.. well, secret about it" sagde hun

Moira fik et ret utilfredst udtryk i ansigtet. "Hm .. I wish not to speculate in such things, when there are no proofs"

"No, perhaps it is better not to" sagde Satya og nikkede "one have to be careful before claiming a woman is ruined."

Moira så lidtutilfredst på Satya, men nikkede. "One has to be carefull with all kinds of rumors it seems"
