"No," Beauty Queen snapped, responding without listening to Black Diamond's full argument. "Some of us despise everyone who isn't the Snowflake girl."
Black Diamond's head snapped up and she turned to her right, her eyes flashing at Beauty Queen. "It is hardly despising anyone who isn't Snowflake, I am merely thinking of what is best for the organization. You need to stop being a defendant mother and realise that neither of your daughters would be able to fulfill the role as they currently are. Perhaps if Sunrise hadn't been cursed she'd have been a great contender, but she has, and that is that. I don't hear Elegant Lady throwing the same temper tantrum as you. So I suggest you put your personal feelings aside."
Ice Cream gave Beauty Queen a sympathetic look before drawing the table's attention down to her end. "Let's keep our mind on Fashion," she said. "Blondine seemed to think she was quite professional and nice, and by all accounts she has a great deal of talent and comes from a good bloodline. The rest we can work with, can we not?
"I will take Fashion," Angelique called out, standing and interrupting the argument that was brewing before Black Diamond could respond to Ice Cream and create even more controversy. "We have a common love, and I believe I can help her control her pride. I predict she will listen to me more than most, oui?" Her thick French accent soothing the hot tempers in the room. With a set jaw, and a last look at Ice Cream, Black Diamond nodded her approval of the Sponsorship.
