Re: OUTDOOR GARDEN | Adrian & Lyri
Adrian was beyond annoyed and it was obvious in everything, in his face, his tone of voice and most of all in his body language. Everything screamed that he was not happy with the newcomer. And he glared at her as she spoke, wanting even now to wrap his long fingers around her graceful neck and cheerfully strangle her.
"She's leaving," he said with a smile as Lyri introduced herself and asked who the woman was. "But before she goes, her name is Madeline and I'm sure she has other people to keep her entertained this evening." His voice was like velvet steel, cold, but still so Adrian. Madeline seemed unphased by this and held her hand out to shake Lyri's.
"I'm Madeline, as Adrian just said," she answered with a bright smile, making it clear to her ex she wasn't leaving just yet. "That's a beautiful dress, Lyriana, where ever did you get it?" she continued with that same smile. Adrian's face was blank, even as his eyes glared at the beautiful duchess. He knew that Lyri wouldn't know that even though Madeline was saying it was a beautiful dress, she was really being bitchy and poking fun. Even though Lyri had detached from him, he reached for her hand, and just touching her made him feel a little more clearheaded.
