"Lady Eivor of Amber!" Katie says in surprise.
Immediately she is down on one knee; her head bowed to Eivor.
"Lady, I am sorry! I didn't know that you were you, I mean that I thought you were a nurse or maid or something, I hadn't been properly introduced. Know that I would never dishonour the Amber family. In fact, my father and his father and his father's father all fought in your armies; two of my uncles fell defending Amber against the rapacious forces of Princes' Corwin and Bleys, another against the Shadowriders. Why it is said even my mother had a dalliance with Prince Cain-"
Her face reddens under her tan.
"Before she met my father! I don't mean to imply your royal uncle was in any way inappropriate."
She probably could have continued in the same vein for a while, but embarrassment has stopped her tongue.

"There is nothing to forgive Katie. We are among friends here," Eivor replies. "Your service and that of your family is beyond reproach. Coy is a con-man with magically persuasive powers who is a danger to all of us. Bear that in mind if your paths should cross again. Avoid his company if at all possible."
"I regret we cannot share the full extent of his deeds, but I'm just pleased you managed to escape his company unscathed. Others have been less fortunate."
"Can I get you a drink at all?"

"No, m'lady, thank you. You should sit and I will get a drink for you. I was denied a chance to serve in the army so to serve you is the least I can do in service to Amber."

Kat is amused by Kattie's sudden turn of deference to Eivor, which is only proper to a Goddess, but she doesn't let it show. Instead she coughs weakly.
"Do you know who my brother hung out with here when I wasn't with him?" She asked seriously interspersed with a sneeze.

"Like everyone here he was obsessed with social position. He glommed on to anyone with status and the closer to Amber they were the closer he stuck to them. But he was a bit different too; he seemed more interested in Amber than his own brand. That should have been a clue about his intentions.
"Say, he wasn't involved in that King killing was he?"

Kat nods and then prompty coughs.
"It seems my brother really was shooting for the top. (sneeze) I didn't think he would do such a thing!" She croaked back, feigning surprise at what her 'brother' did when deep down inside Kat knows that's exactly the sort of thing that little shit would have done.

"The important thing is to find out where he is now and stop him. We're just staying here a short time for Simone to recover than we will be on our way. If you hear or see anything in the meantime please make a note of it. We'll be coming back here from time to time to check on your welfare, so please stay vigilant," Eivor says. "It will be better for all concerned if you just treat me like you would any of Simone's friends. We don't want to attract undue attention and if Simone trusts you, then I do too."

"I will! I will!" Katie says eagerly. "But you can't stay cooped up in here for your entire stay, people will be more suspicious of that than your asking around about Coy."
With a last hug for Simone and a bow to Eivor she leaves the room.

Kat as Simone hugs Katie back and sneezes once more as she backs away, wiping her nose with a handercheif.
"Friendly at least, and not suspicious of my act." Kat comments when Katie has gone. "Whilst I have a chance I need to check the mirrors here."
Kat does just that and moves between the different mirrors in the main apartment, the bedroom and the bathroom to see what she can see of either Simone (and her mannerisms) and Coy. Especially if you was alone in the room here.

Eivor watches Katie go then locks the door behind her before drawing the blinds, sitting down and waiting for Kat to complete her scan of the mirrors. "As soon as you're done we will return to Amber. We need to make sure Simone and her husband are free of Coy's influence, especially if there is to be a banquet. I've a mind to warn the queen, but not before you are certain we have learned as much as we can from here."
She idly sketches the apartment, noting the small things that make it unique.

Kat barely has the chance to start again with her mirror working when there is a loud knock at the door.
"Simone-baby!" a man's voice calls out frendily. "Get on out here!"

"I'll deal with this," Eivor growls. "Don't say anything." She steps up behind the locked door.
"If you don't mind stepping away sir, Lady Simone is not receiving visitors or entertaining guests. She is unwell and requires complete rest, peace and quiet."

Kat shrugs her acceptance and continues looking in the mirror. This could go on all night as it seems that Lady Simone was quite the popular socialite here. She hopes that the gentleman visitor takes the Goddess' hint.

Perfect physique, perfect hair and perfect gleaming teeth in his wide, honest smile. "Hey, I didn't know that Simone was traveling with her hot aunt! Hi, I'm Chad,"He barely looks at Eivor but stares over her shoulder looking for Simone. "C'mon Barbie, let's go party!" he says too loudly.

Kat as Lady Simone stays in the bathroom and coughs loudly and long. That will give the truth to Lady Eivor's tale and mean that she adhere's to the Goddess' request.
