Current mood: nervous

AnOTP: Melisande/Maharet
Melisande is sitting downstairs in a vibrantly red gown, lounging gracefully and looking supremely bored. In fact, however, she's feeling oddly nervous, a feeling this Shahrizai doesn't like in the least, and her hand, every so often, goes to her neck before she drags it away with a frown. With a sigh, she stands and fetches the glass of red wine she left on the mantle upon coming down here and sips it, gazing at the fire in what would be a moody fashion in any other woman.

*Maharet enters the room, and for a moment doesn't recognize the woman sitting there (three thousand years can make minor acquantainces a little difficult to remember), but, after a moment, realizes who she might be. She stands, still, in indecision*

Melisande looks up, and for a moment a look of startled almost-fear crosses her face before it is neutral again. "Good evening," she says, delicately. "Maharet, am I correct?"

*Melisande's forced neutrality is...interesting. Maharet nods, watching the other woman carefully* And good evening to you as well. Melisande, if I recall right.

Melisande will never admit to her nervousness around Maharet, just as she will never admit to having died. She smiles, though her eyes remain cautious. "You do." She sits. "I trust you have been well?"

*slightly amused* You trust rightly. And can I assume the same for you? You seem to have healed well enough.

"Healed? But yes, I have been well." Melisande sips her wine, her hand not shaking in the least. Really. "Thank you."

*But Maharet doesn't go along with such things* I am sorry. There was no personal insult intended.

Melisande tenses her shoulders, face stilling. "I'm afraid I don't know of what you speak," she says flatly.

*gentle* That's a rather childish tactic, Melisande.

Melisande stands and gives her an evenly cold look. "Is it? I should think you would appreciate starting with a blank slate." Her voice is even, but she sets down the glass, afraid that her hands may tremble.

Life and memory do not work that way. Attempting to trick memory and impulse does no one good.

Melisande just gazes at Maharet, coolly. "I am not afraid of you."

*still amused* All right.

Melisande doesn't like that amusement, and it shows. She draws herself up and snaps, "Treat me as you wish, but kindly do not condescend to me."

*honest* I condescend to everyone - it's difficult to get out of the habit after three thousand years.

"Then I hope you will attempt to find an alternative," Melisande says, coldly, only the fractional widening of her eyes showing her surprise.

Tell me about yourself, then, so that I may better interact with you.

"You know my name. What else do you desire to know?"

[Typist: I'm very glad.]

Whatever you wish to tell me. Your past, your present, your character - whatever you feel would be beneficial to me.

Melisande looks down and away. "I am of the house Shahrizai, of Terre d'Ange. Other than that, I hardly know what would be beneficial to you." She's leery of offering up too much information.
