Meeting on a road of lies

Xcelia smirked. "Ah yes."

Roxine paused before holding out her hand to the other woman. "Remotely similar to friends?" she suggested, still grinning.

Xcelia shrugged. "More or less. You'd have to ask Jade about that." She went to walk past Roxine, watching her cautiously.

Roxine raised an eyebrow. "Alright." she relented. She stepped aside so Xcelia could pass. "Stand aside, girls." she called, watching as Hestia and the others did as she bid them.

Xcelia nodded in thanks and stalked past them. "I'll see you soon Roxie." Once again a smirk found a way onto her face.

Roxine's eyes narrowed. "Not if you keep calling me Roxie." she grumbled quietly.

Xcelia smirked and turned around. She bowed. "I'm a royal pain in the ass, it's what I do."

Roxine smirked despite her annoyance at being calling Roxie again. "You do it well!" she called, laughing as she spoke.

Xcelia laughed. "Thank you m'dear!" She continued to walk, before pausing and looking back at Roxie. "Have fun in your little meeting."

As soon as she was sure Xcelia was out of earshot, Roxine turned to Hestia and scowled. "Meeting dismissed: I need a drink." she grumbled, storming off back the way they'd come.
