If His Lordship saw this he would fire us all on the spot," he said with a snort. Okay that was overstating it a bit, but perhaps they could make a good show of things. Heh.
"I think we need to find whoever made this... mess and have a little talk with them." Indeed they did. He tossed the piece of chocolate to the ground and made it a point to stamp on it as he made his way toward a pair of women who seemed to be COMPLAINING about Lord Borr and standing in front of more candy. Jackpot?

Her tone was clipped and she found herself putting her hands on her hips in a bit of a huff. Rude, rude boys!

About to apologize if it seemed she hadn't been paying attention, Artie didn't so much as open her mouth before noticing that wasn't the reason for the sound. Something was wrong with the chocolate...? "I think it's wonderful." She said quietly, feeling that it was necessary to reassure Anita after the comment that was apparently made. Quote:

Cutting his eyes to the other woman he looked her up and down and snorted. "Well then your taste is as bad as her chocolate, then," he pointed out as the woman spoke up for her.
"I didn't catch your names... would you be so kind as to oblige?" he insisted. Really, it would be ignorant of them not to oblige. He would find out one way or another. And Ren would have some fun, too.
As Alex spoke Ren was actually looking at the buffet spread. He had to admit it looked impressive from afar but up close it was even more astonishing. Then again, His Largeness wouldnt have it any other way.
So impressive it must be that someone brought something to add to the spread as if to showcase their creations as worthy to be with such delectably distinguished company. Ren's brows knitted together as he looked at the unauthorized additions "And MLE simply allowed this person to waltz right through and place this here? For all we know this could've been meant to poison his Lordship. Worthless security, the lot of them."
And SHRILL comes she who brings trouble. And the very same who brought the suspicious confectioneries it seems. With a friend. Conspiracy indeed!
"It is
wrong to assume that your chocolates would be welcomed so willingly without question." he replied curtly as his dark eyes glared at the self righteous little woman. Then it shifted to her companion "Do you think its wonderful to bring food that you
know his Lordship would like-- and use that to harm him?..." His eyes narrows as they stare squarely at the two women. And in a dangerous snarl he adds "And now I'm sure you assumed that your true motives would go by unnoticed, waved off as a gesture of thoughtfulness and goodwill? How stupid do you think we are?" Oh we are on to you conspirators!
