(THE QUEEN WITH THE PEACOCK FAN AND THE GIRL IN THE SHORT BLACK DRESS)<br/><br/>After all of these years, she was becoming bored with castigating her husband and punishing his paramours.  She honestly didn't know why she cared, was it simply her nature as it was his to chase young pórnes?  Well, that wasn't a fair assessment as none of the women her husband chased after had a reputation for that, but she couldn't stop thinking of his paramours as pórnes.  She'd been faithful and never lain with another man, she doubted that she ever would because he had such a magnetic personality.  His body thrilled her just to think of being held by it and she melted into him when he actually did embrace her.<br/><br/>The tall and tan woman checked herself in the full length mirror.  Her red-gold hair was arranged up, not too high, exposing her elegant neck.  This also had the effect of showcasing her cute ears and the deep purple amethyst pendant earrings that she favored.  Her cocktail dress was a purple that was almost black with understated accents of golden flecks.  The neckline was neither scandalous nor prudish and bottom of the dress ended at mid-thigh with modest slits at the sides.  She generally hated modern shoes in favor of the black sandals she wore with the laces wrapped up to just below her knees.  She picked up her elevator key and put it in her golden purse.  Finally, she picked up her peacock fan.  She believed that looked desirable, even if she did look like a very healthy forty-ish woman.<br/><br/>Taking the elevator from her apartments, she waited for the car to make its transit.  She thought about turning back, but her sources told her that her cheating husband was likely to make an appearance.  The doors opened onto the lounge and the sound of the modern music hit her like a strong wind.  By the Styx, she was going to need a drink to cope with this noise.  Heading to the bar, she noticed the attractive girl in the short black dress.  She looked like just his type.  He wasn't in sight.  Maybe she could warn the young woman and she'd take the hint.  Even if she did, the man sometimes liked it when they played 'hard to get'.<br/><br/>Arriving at the bar, she ordered two glasses of Limniona, deep, red, strong and with bright acidity.  She caught the young woman's attention saying, "Here, have a real glass of wine," and handed her the glass.  She then drank deeply form her glass, saying, "If you run into a very muscular man with a magnetic personality, then stay away from him, Zafira.  He's trouble...,"  She then drained her glass and turned her head away looking about the Lounge.  If someone were close enough to hear, they might have heard the woman with the peacock fan say, "... and so am I"
