Eterna smiled as she read Carrick's message to her, she had rather hoped that he would get in touch as she had been rather impressed by him. She chuckled softly at the mention of Sappho and then thought about typing her own reply.
Good Evening my Lord,
I cannot deny that I am amused by the prospect of you attempting to serenade me with Sappho's work and hymns to the Goddess of Love and so I have half a mind to decline purely for those pleasures.
However, your offer is tempting enough to dissuade my cruelty (at least momentarily) and so I admit that I would love to accompany you to the gala.
