Re: In the Audience
Felix recognized a blatant attempt at changing and avoiding a subject, and he went along with it easily. He was the last person in the world who was going to make someone talk about something they didn't want to talk about. It didn't stop that lingering concern that maybe there was some effect to the poison that he didn't know, but he gave a grin back to her.
"You're pants at this whole angling for free drinks things, aren't you?" he teased, slinging one arm around her now-empty chair. "But I certainly am not. I'll take whatever you're having."
