Sir Mariyn had gathered his bottle and his wine glass and made his way to the dining room, He opened the door and poured himself a glass of wine, already a bit tipsy, he then looked over at Lady Violetta. "Milady." he said. "We need to have a small discussion, if you'll indulge me." He then pulled up a chair ,turned it back wards and sat down at the table, waiting for Lady Violetta.

Shermie then made her way to the dining room as well, she sat alone in the shaded part of the hall, with no necklace and no book, she was alone. She curled up against the wall and hugged her knees, burying her face.
