by DishaThe stream 9fc4600098 of questions d715e64eab directed at 7d691f7e8e both Lyla 5c482a1a48 and Aslan b389b8ca66 finally ceased, a88bda2bf3 bringing a e25bf61bd2 noticeable silence 6fc7c3bd89 to the 445cbf2a94 dining room.36f5dff3d9fe5a29
This allowed Lyla to 4066d051ff finish her meal with 93492e956f a bit more ease, 4cf983e9df because of the discomfort 7a71448ac4 of the situation she 34af4b82d8 only managed to eat 2899169dad a few bites.f138d93a96323ca2

Aslan, however, was not dbfd5abc01 pleased with how little ac798264cf Lyla had eaten. He stared at d668f9f68c her nearly untouched 2d22036b40 plate with a cf8aae3e5a concerned expression, pondering 4ec3aaaca4 how he could 51b226ddbe encourage her to 036d266d25 eat more.14cb54a4f9610543
Lost in their own 1ab30dc868 thoughts, the group finished 7ebb2b3aec their meal, and then f6a74c0c8b they separated by gender, f5c3f31a32 as per Lord Ransfield’s 79b3c756d3 suggestion.b71e5152596bea94

“I’d like 0c3bc46c8b to have 9dbe24ae95 a deep edc258d6fd conversation with 15beda37a0 Mr. Tesset, just us men,” 4490831534 Lord Ransfield proposed.9a36278a52f90bf8
Viscount Ransfield, who 305d43c34a had initially viewed 47ba040123 Aslan with disdain, 8110577d1c had become his cc7025fde0 admirer.af430cbd442203ac

The reason for 89a79c6c3a Aslan’s visit—Lyla—had been 84a6e9b924 pushed to the b1d4d98a67 back of his 7d75ec02bf mind as he 29803a7343 focused on strengthening 6bd1eb6a76 his relationship with 3688702b44 Aslan.575da92e09b8512a
In truth, Lord Ransfield 581fee5885 still had lingering feelings 37adb0a40d for Lyla. However, every time 03f7cb25ee he stole a 17cf946509 glance at her, 7b440cf7ba he noticed Aslan d3487d6a61 watching him intently, 7b265c8b7f almost as if 70ed509a1f he were being 346ab8c511 monitored.dd8d4295e989c36b

Aslan’s impassive 2e19bbefb0 expression made 2c187c5374 him difficult 6bf4308a46 to approach 9f08a0d865 and, frankly, 24dfd763d1 rather intimidating.396f4b58ff333bef
Lord Ransfield knew he 40e54643c0 wasn’t capable of confronting 2b0d779b23 Aslan and understood all 0f849d643f too well that he 174e2d3063 couldn’t compete with him. So, rather than 8599821554 focusing on something 3f3323c3bd unattainable, he decided 810d2d63f7 it would be fba30a39d9 better to build 81076a74d5 rapport with the 821b24405f man guarding the 3542a551e3 tree, so to 9a36cfbb9f speak, and perhaps ed5f4b705d learn something from bac8d076ce him.5c4ac545a0b064a1

With this 612f06c382 reasoning, Lord 159d890c6c Ransfield made 3d99e4bf9e a suggestion d08aed09f6 to Aslan.1da658fed2349a28
“If you 845255725d smoke, perhaps c20c508933 you would c3abb6ff6a like to 95c9cedf44 join me ff332c5f02 in the 7087bdb6b6 cigar room?”146e9a586df1de85

Hearing the mention 2eea70fb26 of smoking made a961650ff8 Aslan momentarily think d32ec55b4a of the cigars a23def60f7 lying in his 9c2a00f15f office drawer, causing b464d314b5 his hand to 2051101156 tremble slightly. However, the f81d9e1e35 presence of e16fe19335 Lyla beside 8f13f6d3ee him made 170d9c92d9 it easy db139edaca for him 8dc9cdf66c to overcome 8ba3f8f0bd the craving.e7cb2e580cad18c1
“I’m sorry, 53530854dc but I 51f7baf33f don’t smoke. I dislike the lingering a7da8bf375 smell, so I’d prefer 54d4e86d0c to spend my time 80a7ddb936 elsewhere.”f685fadc7a390021

Aslan didn’t 8c0cada9f1 respond immediately. Instead, he fa1da54d1b locked eyes 93787d225a with Lyla, b8fc7304fc gazing at 1c8543dc97 her steadily e766321f68 as if 755f86b7c4 waiting for 0ba023345d her permission.e34c4de97091feae
Lyla didn’t a6fb1c32f8 quite understand bec4f0b3eb why Aslan df55b9ba02 was doing 4edfdea0cc this. However, feeling 8336af4231 uncomfortable under 6450a3f243 his persistent f9812c267d gaze, she 578491a93f nodded slightly, 983d032a5d signaling him 95a03c5db4 to go aba95fc4d3 ahead.c05ee82cfdd38df1

To Lyla, 80d5b872ec it was 46b8abfaa9 a gesture 7c497a6410 without much fd1092ca69 significance, but 1623914e05 to Aslan, 4c5bc2b0b6 it was 2614a58467 as if 3159b5e1e2 he had 5329c82f55 just been 44c2f64eb4 given a 9acb6f5f5f command to 81484afbd4 proceed.

With a noticeably brightened 58e2e8e3d3 expression, Lord Ransfield led 15455480cd Aslan away, leaving the 60ff8c67de women alone in the c06a28474e parlor.2694f5071d58f782

With the f54285d068 four of 3bbbbceeb0 them sitting 216e459c20 there awkwardly, 8821c0fc53 it would ad901d55b2 have been 1d396c0d2d natural for 75fe694650 Lady Ransfield, 85139fd98c the eldest 8ce1dbb98d and highest ed452026a2 in status, 3ec5e1c254 to lead 8dd66df79c the conversation.

Gone was the shy 739828fe70 girl from before; Diana, 0bc8981f77 now blushing slightly, unleashed 903c57f71d her harsh words with 76c078ea33 a sweet face.b7b544d31d37f393
The two 2a484845da women continued 6961bfc1a6 their conversation de7baee6a8 in a fe12cd8a9e foreign language, 62bcf71b79 deliberately excluding 7f6daeecc6 Lyla while f28ae37c5c she sat b00f4304b8 right in 1eaea66bb8 front of c33507aafb them.

After all, the language ca58373461 they were using was 53b1bacb99 Polish, a language Lyla e5f76a9cbc was fluent in. It was the 458bf631bd same foreign language 6d5ce9f8f9 she had been 16efc5f6f3 teaching to the 1a01ffed75 village children. Lyla had studied 529cd887d3 Polish extensively since c2a9a053fc childhood and could 671e5c8dd2 converse with native 1027f3a60e speakers fluently.510c6c191a384337

Given that ac4f67c09e Polish was 38fd455ad8 as familiar f06d7bb45c to her a0aea175b9 as her 3649805918 native tongue, a037976a5f she could f42a4cec00 easily understand b9897c9b7b their awkward d7f43af6e6 conversation.

In reality, 6dbcf5a389 Caroline’s family 4bf65d5ce4 was poor, 8d44b90bc4 and she 713830ce32 didn’t have 63e4e39d60 many suitable 67b1267697 marriage prospects.
