Rose finally roused herself out of the paniced headspace she'd been in before, and immediately headed over to Arion. She leant in close and whispered in his ear while the White Queen continued to drone on.... and on......... and oooooonnnnn...... 'Seriously will this woman NEVER shut up?!' Rose thought to herself even as she spoke to her friend. "Arion, listen carefully because what I'm about to tell you is very important: No matter what people do, no matter what they say, now matter how much you may want to, DO NOT, under any circumstances, try to slap or punch someone silly."

"But-!"

"NO. I know how boring this occasion's going to be, mon cher, and I know you think punching some stuck-up Royal will help, but it won't, ok?" 'No matter how funny it'd be,' she thought to herself ruefully.

"...Fine, I won't. But don't ask me to keep my words in check too!" Arion whispered furiously, still a bit miffed.

Rose nodded. "That's fair, just... try not to offend TOO many people, ok? Less than 5 would be nice."

"Yeah, yeah, ok... I still don't get why you want to still hang with these people, though."

Rose sighed, exasperated. "We've been over this, Air; it's not that simple to completely detach yourself from a friend group once you're part of it. These things take time and a gradual effort to make the transition natural. Unfortunately, that also means going to things you don't like to keep up appearances, you know?"

Arion rolled his eyes but nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Doesn't mean I like it, though."
