Having the fates provide what you wanted in the way you least expected... Oh she was certain her Lasy's influence was running far too strongly for this to be a nice strol in the countryside. But it was Bell that drew another truth from her lips. "Perhaps it is because I am such a vain and self interested creature, but I feel my Lady has set a trials upon my path. So forgive the troubles that come our way." The nervousness had slipped from her voice, having been replaced with a solemn frankness. But these were but monetary lapses in character.<br/><br/>A confidence returned to Maxine, as a more natural silken sultriness began to slide into her voice. "Now I have  given offence." waving aside her plate, she rose quickly and strode before Bell. Sinking to one knee, her eyes shine with mischief - but her voice held a remonstrating tone "Allow me to belittle myself before you-" and she did so with a bow low enough to count the curious bangles upon the Bell's ankles. Maxine's face was showered by a wild mess of red as her hair crashed over shoulders, her movements too sudden to keep any order she might have once managed. "Whilst it is true we are unequal in frame, I find myself beset- for surely I am outmatched by the heights of your beauty! Can you not forgive this maiden's quick tongue, offering her a second chance at friendship and admiration?!" There was a dramatic tone to her words - as she played herself over and above - but as she lifted her here's to meet Bell's there was a warm sparkle beheld within them.
