Jamie's apology raised a curious brow from her, but she let it go easily with a wave of her hand. She cursed more prominently than any of them knew, and she didn't see the insult in doing it around her. As she leaned back in her seat, playing with her for a bit, she looked at Roland with a tiny smile.
"What for? Now that you've said it I feel less guilty for wanting to get up and leave." Again, she took her cup but only to half-hide what she said to him. "I'm not exactly fond of it either, it reminds me of working and forcing a good mood. And I am in one, all things considered! But I can't sit up here frowning now can I? The expectation is a pain."
And yet her wine went down and she smiled all the same briefly looking to her various cousins and then back to him. "And think of it this way, I might be better at distracting him away from you!"
