An Evening In

A select salon for those with money to spend who understand that dressing well is not a luxury but a necessity. The Silver Thimble has a tasteful sign that hangs above a pretty bay window in which a few fabrics are carefully draped. Inside is lavishly decorated: there is a dark, sweeping cherry wood counter for sales, clear glass cabinets and a consultation room that practically exhales the sofas and coffee table nested therein. Cabinets around the shop hint that merchandise is stored there but nothing is on display. Indeed, it's well known that if you wish to see a garment then the shop girl will fetch it to you as you take tea with the proprietor. Highly unusual, it is run by a women - one Miss Valentina Audley. Kindred know her as the Master Seamstress of Bath, Clan Toreador, which would explain the odd closing hours.

Grace blanches but rallies well,
"Ummmm. It sounds like a challenge, which is what I expected. The Durham votes will be the most difficult.
I will have to develop a strategy."

Grace smiles, "I do love a puzzle," she looks quite pleased.

"Elder Beaufort, I think the odds of my sucess have decreased somewhat."

Valentina attempts to look apologetic. "Sorry darling, but you did say most unlikely...."

Aldrich smiles.

"Now Lady Grace, I agree your chances are low, and I wish to make sure you have truly thought up the consequences should you succeed, especially someone as fiery as Elder Hermina and as, well, Durham and Durham. I do not want you to be put in a compromising social position."

He looks genuinely concerned by this.

"If you do decide to take on this task then I will actively take no part in the proceedings. I won't act against you in any way, I won't even vote, unless you can somehow convince me it's a good idea to vote the way you wish. Throughout the night I'll barely acknowledge the games existence."

He smiles widely before looking downwards for a moment.

"Please, I do not wish to insult your intelligence as I'm sure you will think this through before accepting. But please do think of the ramifications of success in this endeavour before we make this wager."

His voice is one of genuine concern. Ever the pessimist he is almost certain that if she succeeds it will only lead to a poor outcome.

Grace tilts her head slightly, concern for me? This is a very strange Ventrue Elder.

"In which case it's 'no wager.' If there is no reward, no risk. If there is no prize to be won then it is a pointless endeavour, how it is to be achieved is the essence of it. If it were not difficult then there should be no pride in success" Grace's eyes glitter slightly.
"You are very proper and good to council caution to me. That is perhaps a excellent illustration of why you have ascended to the social status that you hold Elder."

Valentina is listening with interest but her head is down and she's stitching as she listens, a small smile on her face.

Grace smiles in return.
"I should never like to.do something merely for entertainment that would give you a moment if concern. If it troubles you, as it seems to then it is not a valid proposal.
The one thing I am sure of regarding the coming festivities. It shall not be dull"

Grace glances to Valentina working,
"What progress you make Miss Audley,"

Valentina looks at Grace and smiles. "We're well begun." She replies cheerfully, holding the tie out for their inspection. It is maybe a third or slightly less sewn with purple swirls starting to climb up the tie.

"Seeing as the wager appears to not be meeding more discussion, how about a game?"
