oh god I am so sorry for spamming the comms, guys.
Who: Gale Kapur & Altair Laurent
What: Someone didn't win a wine-tasting, so Altair decided to make it happen anyways. Conversation ensues.
Where: A vineyard outside of Emillion.
When: Backdated to the Saturday after the auction.
Rating: Family-friendly, of course.
Status: Completed.
While Gale was still not sold on this entire thing, she could admit she was finding certain aspects of being courted quite enjoyable. Although the evening of the auction was now but a memory and the Kapur daughter should have moved on gracefully from her losses, she was still smarting from the fact that she had wanted to go to that wine tasting, if only because she did love wine (even if she did not necessarily love the Bane family, dipping into the common pool as they did). But here was the upside mentioned to Altair’s wooing: this particular Saturday afternoon was spent at the beautiful vineyards she had thought she was going to miss out on, the air rich and musty with the smell of fermenting grapes, and several bottles of wine laid out on a wooden table, paired with various cheeses and meats.
Suffice to say, Gale was incredibly pleased with the entire thing, and in turn, Altair. The ride to the vineyard had been enjoyable and she had found herself receptive to conversation, rather than the cool, avoiding persona she often employed when dealing with him and others she didn’t particularly know well. In fact, one might have even detected a developing fondness towards him, though whether it was the atmosphere or the wine that was contributing to this, it was hard to tell.
Nonetheless, Gale, dressed in red (which she considered her best color), and Altair did look very good together as they sipped wine. The sommelier said as much, to which Gale could only laugh abruptly and turned to Altair once the wine steward’s back was turned.
“Really, this was quite the surprise, Altair,” she said, her cheeks high in color, “I am actually pretty impressed.”
