Gossip Girls (closed to Nancy)

[morevacant]

It's the lunch time after the night before, and Lydia is nursing a champagne hangover. She keeps her sunglasses on even in the little cafe she's tucked away as she nurses a strong coffee.What a stupid night. Lydia's dreading seeing the papers. Although the incident with Samantha was minor, and the woman perfectly polite, Lydia sees it differently. In her mind, it's a massive blow. It's like she's been rejected, a little bit, from the best society.
Feelings hurt, she's text Nancy to meet her. Nancy listens. And Lydia loves to be indulged.

She pulls out her phone and texts Nancy.

'Hurry up. So much to tell you! MWAH! xx'

Nancy presses her lips together.

"Yeah. You can bind a fae to a form, or-" she considers adding gin to her cappuccino, but remembers that that would be disgusting. "There's this thing called a slave ring. The wearer is under the influence of the person who made the ring, so long as they wear it." Subconsciously, her right hand goes to her left middle finger, rubbing at the base of it.

"There's a lot of things you can do with magic."

"And they're doing it?" Lydia's horrified. She's never heard of such things before, and overcome with it all, she doesn't notice Nancy's action.

"But Daybreak… I thought they were good?"

[stauncherhearted]

She nods grimly.

"I think good's... a matter of perspective. Sometimes you think you're doing something good, but to others, it's bad. But you can be really convinced it's the right thing." She'd thought what she'd been doing her whole life had been the good thing. It was only when she got older she realized just how bad it was.

"And my definition of good doesn't match up with Samantha's vision."

"So what am I supposed to do?" Because obviously this is all about Lydia. "Do I stay in Daybreak with these women you're saying are doing these horrible things or…" She's in way over her head here. Except, she doesn't really want to look like she's struggling right now.

"Maybe it's not as bad as what you think? Maybe they're not actually doing that." Please let it be some sort of misunderstanding so they can go back to superficial bitching.

Nancy didn't think the rumors were necessarily false. She'd met Samantha. She was a very matter-of-fact and she'd so much as stated her beliefs about witches and familiars. Besides, she trusted Eames' information. For better or for worse.

"You can stay in Daybreak. You just don't have to agree with that policy. I mean- hey," she gives a fake smile, "maybe I've just heard wrong. I'd love to be proven wrong." She doubted it, however.

"So how are things on the boy front? Any eligible bachelors?"

[morevacant]

"I don't even care." Lydia grumbles. "I just want a bit of fun."

She brightens considerably when Nancy moves topics to boys. "Oooh well, you know?' She shrugs.
"There were some good lookers at that stupid party. I didn't get any numbers though. I was too embarrassed.You're so lucky, you know, Nancy? Just finding a guy just like that.If you can do it, you think I would have been snapped up the instant I set foot in London!"

[stauncherhearted]

"Well, good thing London is full of handsome men, right?" She smiles at Lydia, trying to ignore how much her words actually sing. If she could find a guy. She'd found lots of guys, thank you, and they paid her for her time. But Lydia doesn't know that, so she swallows her thoughts.

"After Bill it took me a few years to find someone. And even then, before we got together, I'd already known Cooper for a year."
