Lupus In Fabula

[Reeves]

With the shake of the hand and a suppressed chuckle, he managed to put on a fairly convincing act of seeming coy about what she had to say. With no way to possibly be offended by banter of this variety, he figured that adding to the amusement would certainly help things along and make their time here more pleasant. "I have absolutely no idea what you mean." The words were delivered in such a way as to ooze sarcasm and false innocence. She was practically being invited to continue being playful as the distant hum of music performed by a live band became a front and center reality.

The main hall was fabulously well lit, plenty of space to not only show off priceless belongings but also make room for easily a hundred or more people. This estate, likely one of several owned by the host, seemed deliberately designed with parties and banquets in mind. Whatever festivity which was underway must have started at least an hour or two prior, since the congregations and cliques had already settled in. The floor was abound with perhaps all manner of gossip, vice and hypocrisy.

Morreti's distaste for all of this was well hidden. But his partner would have no problem noticing that his mood and demeanor changed significantly upon entering that main room and being confronted with what must have been a distant but familiar sight. Rather than say anything about it, he would simply glance in her directions, his eyes saying everything words could not. And with that being the case, she was free to take the lead and figure out which of the several clusters to join and socialize with. He could only hope to make it through the night without killing anyone.
