Gabrielle looked skeptical despite Fleur’s assurances. She pursed her lips and regarded her sisters. “You do not normally flinch around me, iz all,”Gabrielle commented with a shrug. “You seem…” She let the comment hang for a few long moments. “…tense?”

She is pretty enough and not as boring as him.” Gabrielle regarded her sister, careful to notice any hints she might offer as she spoke.
“I do not know wat zhey are waiting for,” she continued, taking a long drink of her wine. “Perhaps for zee parents to give permission?” Gabrielle rolled her eyes.

Gabrielle was willing to play along with Fleur’s ridiculous word game for the moment. “Well, zey were a lover for today, non?” She took another sip of her wine. “Who iz zis man?” Gabrielle pursued her lips. “One of zee teachers?” She wrinkled her nose, she knew of no male at the school worthy of her sister, even for a day. “A pretty boy from zee village you sneak off to see?”
