<strong> Valerie Tyree (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/babycakes_0765/Steampunk/Virginia.jpg) remaining at the bar with Sir Cobblepot leaving due to Roxanne. </strong><br/><br/>Listening to what all was transpiring before her ....the indignation of it all as Sir Cobblepot seemed to take offense to Roxanne's little threat like situation . Unfolding that she was the ward of Lee Chang ...how dare she , infer anything happened between them . Even if it did , Roxanne of all people had no business dictating what Valerie did and did not do in her private chambers . Oh the fire was started and as Roxanne stood there with a blank expression after Sir Cobblepot got done gnawing on her a few times ...it seemed she was in for round two .<br/><br/>Valerie reached forward and took the bottle of wine ....and pushed away from the bar , getting out her little finger .<strong>" I do say ....sister ....that was not very nice of you . I am a full grown adult you know , business woman and all ....come to enjoy a drink with a fellow merchant . To socialize and discuss the arts like a proper lady is supposed to do . "</strong>glaring at Roxanne now as Valerie did not want to make anymore of a scene than had already went down .<strong> " I am not the one rubbing my body up onto men in this place ....am I now . " </strong><br/><br/>Moving a bit closer ....<strong>" You ever treat me like a child again ....and I shall be getting you back for it . Now ...if you will excuse me ....seems you have run off my social experiment for the night . "</strong>pulling away from Roxanne as she put her hand up not even wanting to hear the woman's voice anymore . Making her way towards the staircase not quite sure now why she even bothered to share the great fun she had with the others now . Valerie fought back the tears as she had been so insulted by Roxanne and the cut went deep indeed .<br/><br/>First Lee Chang all but ignored her this night and then ....her own sister done turned tail and rat finked her out as if she was some china doll that was not to be played with . Once at the top of the stairs she looked back down only to see things had returned to normal as if the incident had never happened . True Valerie did want to be a lady but why was Roxanne so up in arms over it ....clearly Roxanne was just what Sir Cobblepot indicated a tramp-like whore that used her body to get everything she desired . Lifting her chin some as she tried to rise above the prior humiliation , maybe Sir Cobblepot would not even be willing to paint her now .<br/><br/>A tear rolled down her cheek ....as she couldn't help but feel left out and all alone . Muttering to herself really ...<strong>" Why do I bother to come down here anyways ...."</strong>as she sniffled and wiped another tear away .
