Lola Báthory's Links
[she's offered Roxanna a basket of sweets, as usual - she's got that same wide-eyed grin and chittering voice her daughter gets whenever Roxanna's niece is brought up] I've stuffed them with as much love as I could, though! We /could/ eat them while we're in your office. Don't you ever get hungry? We can talk over dinner! A homecooked meal? [the woman's just rocking nervously on her feet now - she's got all this love but nowhere to put it! It almost hurts. ]
Ah - Sorry. These are really nice, but I can't take them in good faith. [she pauses for a moment] ...Buuut I know things have been hard for you lately, Lola. If you need to talk, my office door is open.
Oh... She's the reason Roxy's been too busy lately... That's nice! That's nice, I guess. [she's chewing at her nails nervously - a habit she hasn't engaged in for a while] Super nice...!
Oh! Hello, you must be Lola. Roxy's told me about you. I hope we get along! [She's acting so strange... Why do I get this feeling she hates my guts?]
