"I am sure it is," Amodeo says. "But I've never heard of you." He glances over the room with a detached disinterest, and barely even pays Ladonna a look at all. "So this is what passes for a party to the Tardish? About as stuffy looking as I would have guessed."

Ladonna glances around the room, and laughs softly and lightly. "It is a bit like that," she admits. "What are the parties like where you are from?"

"Considerable more nudity and alcohol. Plus, it's not a real party unless at least one person ends up with a dagger in their back," Amodeo says casually.

Lillian arches an eyebrow at the mysterious stranger. Like everyone else, she's curious about him--but she hopes to do some damage control on her reputation, first. "Forgive me, I spoke less tactfully than I should," She says. Though addressing Miss Foxmore, she is sure to point in the whispers' direction (unless they're on the opposite side of Miranda, which would just be awkward) "I will happily wed whoever the Baron deems fit for me." Hopefully, people are actually listening.
She gazes at Ladonna talking to Mr. Amodeo. Scandalous, she jokes to herself. "What do you make of our guest?" she asks. "An ulterior motive for coming here is likely, but I have no guess as to what it is."

"Well, aside from the nudity, the same could be said here. The dagger is perhaps a little different, but back stabbings isn't uncommon all the same," Ladonna says. "It is still surprising to see one such as yourself here."

Ladonna "Well, I was in the neighborhood," Amodeo says. "And thought I'd drop in and see how the Tardish have fun. Or if the Tardish can have fun."
Lillian "Officially, he's part of a Calabrian investigation into the disappearance of a merchant and his guards," Foxmore says. "But I suspect you are right, there is another ulterior reason. I can't guess as to what, but knowing the Calabrians, it's probably something shady. I'm sure Kellerman will keep a very close eye on him."

"Your idea of fun and our idea of fun might be a little different," Ladonna says. "But you might find someone that is willing."

He turns to her and asks, "And what is your interest in me, Ser Marche? Are you not worried being seen with a Calabrian scoundrel half-breed?"

"Scoundrel half-breed?" Ladonna asks in amusement. "Well, my verdict on if you are a scoundrel or not is still yet to be determined, but for as long as you are a honored guest of the Count's, then I don't have too much to worry about," Ladonna says. "As for my interest, I could see a couple of benefits of knowing a Calabrian dignitary. For the time being though, we can say it is mere curiosity. The rumors about Calabria are colorful to say the least."

"Is that not what the Tardish call us?" Amodeo asks. "But to be fair, I am quite the scoundrel. Have you never been to Calabria? It's a beautiful land. The food, the culture, the people...from what I've seen of Tardiff so far, your people could use a little color."

"Hmm, I'm a small town girl. Hart is as far as I have traveled," Ladonna admits. "You are the first person to suggest that I'm dull though," she says.

"Yes, I've heard the Tardish don't like to travel much," Amodeo says with a grin. "Perhaps if you are lucky, I'll invite you to my villa some day. Tardiff will seem so grey and dull afterward, you will likely never be happy to return."

"It isn't that I don't like to travel. It is just I never had the money to travel," Ladonna says. "Or the time until now," she adds thoughtfully. "But you are making your home tempting."

Amodeo chuckles. "Well, if you can show me you know how to have a good time this evening, perhaps I will extend to you an invitation. I can send one of my private ships to pick you up."

"I'll see what I can do, but for the time being you probably need to introduce yourself to the Count," Ladonna says. "I'm sure the two of you have important things to discuss. I'll be around once you get bored," she says before she takes her leave. She reminds herself to keep an eye on him throughout the day as she goes to find Liala.
