Re: Katherine and Walden
It took everything he had for Walden not to smirk at her initial reaction, so used to looking for that moment of fear it was hard to miss the chill of it in her eyes. Such a lovely, lovely reaction and so much more satisfying than her coy politeness with his alter ego.
Smiling, he inclined his head. "Not at all, Miss...?" Oh, he was sure he was supposed to know her name. But, he also knew how much she loved being flattered and he was not, in general, a flattering man when it would be more amusing to conveniently not know a slip of a girl barely out of school. "One could hardly be in attendance here tonight without being of some importance."
