[@_De_Barbarac_]

"How did you find me?"

[Danielle De Barbarac @_De_Barbarac_]

It may not actually be a shortcut, considering I’ve ended up here and-”

Another pause.

@VersaillesSun “No, monsieur,” she said firmly, grabbing a sprig of herbs and laying it out. “If he appreciates anything, it’s the silks on his back and the servants who leap to bow at every step. The rest of us may toil until our bones ache, and he’d never know the difference.”

The sack slipped, and she let out a sharp huff as she caught it just in time.

“For heaven’s sake! -must you stand like a statue in the middle of the passage?” she snapped, her cheeks flushed with exertion.
