H-459: Little Isle Manor House, Upper Lounge
Timey-wimey terms
Apparently, that is the terminology…
Upper Lounge
“Most of my work involves meetings and messages. Very occasionally I actually practice law, and every now and then things need my … personal attention.
“My designated quiet Cycles I reserve for myself, but there are a few things that need immediate action after my party while the opportunity presents itself.”
She interrupts herself to speak to Angela, “speaking of which, Angela, push the briefing from Cinna back until after Lia leaves.”
Angela nods, “yes, Raina.”
She returns her attention to Lia, “so, after breakfast: Laze in the lounge? Dip in the pool? Session on the range? Walk in the grounds?”
Lia raises her eyebrows a fraction about being prioritised over Cinna but doesn’t comment. She is not sure if Raina notices her reaction.
In response to her queries over how they should spend Lia’s remaining time…
“I confess to being confused as to why you would want to spend some of your rare quiet time with your most recent employee.”
She lets that sit for a moment as she studies Raina in the same puzzling way as before.
If Raina responds to that comment, she will hold off on her next response. Otherwise…
“All of those options are attractive, though I confess that I may have taken advantage of your pool prior to breakfast.”
Her eyes have a twinkle to them.
“Do you really have a shooting range?”
