Mmm a hunt tomorrow, and... her trueheart's favor.

Leonora gives a conspiring look "Let's say that the salvary glands are working.well, some glands are."

Her glass in one hand, her free fingers toying with the ends of the favor...she is content.

"Mmmmm....so, a hunt tonight for you, and a hunt tomorrow for us. You'll likely get your exercise." A wink.

"oh no...whatever will I do for energy?" A grin

Smoothly, Coradel sweeps another glass from the server's tray and hands it to Leonora. Then raises her own glass in toast. "Here's to being beautiful and vital and unstoppable."

"Yes, here's to us" She takes it, "And women like us but I repeat you"

She sips. "And humble, of course," she adds with a wink.

"So very very humble" false cast of eyes down to her shoes

"Neither of you are fooling anyone," Dame Claire says "But have fun."

"Oh. Darn." Coradel sips, not appearing particularly upset by this. Then she pauses, "Claire, I meant to thank you for that milkshake yesterday. It was just what I needed."

"Well, they do make quality shakes at Greasers," She says as if that's all it was "But ... you're welcome. Glad it perked you up"

"That, and an excellent night's sleep," she clarifies with a brief glance in Bachdion's direction.

Bachdion is talking to the satyr who is arranging the ice cream social

A smile. All is going well, and August is well, and he will be home soon. She just knows it.

And as if responding, a happy breeze dances all around the barony, a reflection of the Baroness' certainty of hope.
