Snippet #2311900

Josslyn's welcome was not as welcoming as she had expected. She was in fact greeted by a very shocked and rather unimpressed Ladislaus. At the sound of her name she turned, mildly concerned, to see her King walking rather briskly towards her with a strange woman. She was expecting this sort of response from him but she was hoping that she could have been greeted by an Abhainn before she had to confront her husband. He was rather direct in his questioning her, at the last minute it dawned on him that they were in company and he managed to gruffly introduce her to the woman who turned out to be Lady Gweneth. Courteous and proper as ever Josslyn gave a regal nod to the Lady.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Gweneth." Her voice gentle compared to her husbands brusque introduction. She was genuinely interested in meeting this woman, as it was curious as to why she was here with Ladislaus rather than another royal member.

But as always her King was straight to the point. Giving a small apologetic smile to Gweneth she then turned to Ladislaus, her palms delicately cupped together at the base of her hip. She made no show of being irritated at his tone or that he was being quite rude. Instead she gave him a look of contempt.

"My King, as we discussed previously I believe that both of us should be at the signing of the treaty, if only to show that the House of Sliabh is strong and in unison." She spoke slowly and deliberately, like her usual manner when there were guests. "As for Judith, I believe she was following on horse, but it seems she has been delayed."

She looked once from Gweneth before back to Ladislaus, interested if he might choose her as an affair. She couldn't care less but it could be a consequence that would break the treaty if he was found committing adultery.
