He liked to tease and annoy her, he<em>loved</em>to prank her, but she didn't consider him anything more than a little troublesome and an occasional comic relief - though at times his comedy tended to cause her blood pressure to rise. Ingrid on the other hand...Ingrid was unpredictable when upset and Aline hadn't seen her friend so emotionally unstable in...honestly, she couldn't remember the last time. Sure, she could blow up at times and didn't have any trouble cursing someone out. But when was the last time she'd cried?<br/><br/>The thought clung to Aline as she headed back through the doors into the auction, the sound of bidding reached her ears upon entering and all seemed back in order, but even that didn't completely ease the frown from her forehead. Apparently the sixth (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e1/Tumblr_kpz78wzpmR1qzjizro1_500.jpg) piece had already sold and the auction was well into bidding of the seventh (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/Vienna_by_mastertouch.jpg) piece. She would find out later on that the sixth had sold for $275.<br/><br/>Standing at the back of the room, gazing at her own photo was quite different from the angle she viewed it at from the podium. Admiring it, she could see all over again why she had chosen it out of her works for the auction. Aline always chose her top three favorites to put up and her smile would always be a little brighter when they sold. Even now, it was working its charm as the frown smoothed from her features and she merely continued to observe from where she stood.
