    Summary

    The room inhales insecurity and exhales affluence. Partygoers brush past Dedra as though she’s a figure carved into the stone. The season’s fashionable styles and hues swirl together to form a sort of gorgeously grotesque watercolor. Somewhere, Blevin gives a laugh that boils her blood. Somewhere, Lagret is droning on about the importance of reinforcing lines of defense at the far reaches of his sectors. Dedra takes a sip of champagne that tastes like degradation, grimaces, and waits. Either for it to end, or for something to happen.

    Something happens.

    Syril and Dedra are no longer... whatever it was that they were, so Dedra doesn't care if he shows up to an Imperial gala with another woman on his arm. Really. She doesn't.
