Dem hadn't been having a good couple of days, so dinner was short for her. She sat at her table picking at the food (mostly so that Romilda wouldn't question her unfortunate eating habits) before leaving. She had considered not attended the meeting, but she knew that she had to, she had to do something, she had to stop them. She ran up to her room for a moment and did her best to pick all of her hair off of her clothing before picking up a hat from the desk in front of her and tucking the rest of her hair up underneath it. She was not going to give them any hair willingly.
She was running late by the time that she had made it to the painting, she curtsied quickly before moving behind it and entering the room with her arms crossed. Immediately, she crossed the room and leaned against the wall, unintentionally separating herself from the rest of the people already there. She didn't bother to sit.
"Well, I'm here." She said softly, her eyes locking with Millicent's for a brief moment before they stared at the floor again.
