Suzette/Rumors

 Dazzling Performance

There are excitable whispers from couriers regarding an amazing performance at the Opera House. Suzette No Orchis, the humerous flower of Orchis house gave the main performance. Audience members remark at her talent with the violin, her entertaining dance movements, and charming tumbling. Nobles mention that the Duc Marius Shahrizai was in attendance that evening, and despite his unsmiling expression, he stood and applauded and sent a note to a usher. There are whispers that the Orchis adept in her dazzling finery, made her way up to the Duc's private box. What happened there is anyone's guess.

Two Night-blooming flowers are overheard talking on their way back from dropping off the weeks tithe at the Temple of Naamah.

"I don't mean to overstep...but it did seem awfully harsh of the Cereus Dowayne...throwing Suzette no Orchis right out of the party for a harmless prank. She was just trying to have fun!" One comments to the other, her own marque unfinished and thus covered, her House hard to guess at.

The girl who responds appears to be a Jasmine by her own exotic looks, dark and beautiful, though she's regal enough to be a Dahlia too. "I'm not saying that Dowayne Vintesoir isn't a bit...well...you know just how she is. But bringing frogs into the Cereus Ballroom? Suzette should have known better! There was royalty present and lots of it."

"I doubt the King is afraid of frogs!" The first girl huffs. "I think Dowayne Nathalie is just afraid of looking foolish in front of him. Ever since Amarante became so popular she's been prouder than a Dahlia, and she's always had something of a stick up her...did you see the icy look she gave Sabine no Shahrizai? She hadn't even done anything!"

"Hush now. We're nearly back to the Mont..."
