[RPG] [EI] [Perdan] The meal

[Kylie]

Evangeline looked with shock at the plate of Macedoine.  Although the 
broccoli looked as though it had been cooked to perfection and decorated 
the salad quiet nicely, she couldn't help but feel the bile rise in her 
throat.

She knew Duke Screndt and her were different in many ways, but his 
fascination and love of broccoli was certainly a big difference. 
Although he was a perfect host she noted quietly that accepting 
invitations for meals in Aix might become a rarity in the future.

As she lifted the dessert fork a harried and red-faced Breck burst into 
the room.  Duke Screndt scowled immediately at the interruption. 
Amongst many bows and apologies Breck proffered a parchement to the 
annoyed Duke.

Evangeline wondered at Maelg's scribe as he cast nervous looks in the 
Queen's direction.

The Duke read the message and his face seemed to drain of colour. 
Looking up at the Queen, his face then turned a scarlet red.

"Duke Screndt, are you feeling okay?"  Evangeline asked, quietly 
thinking to herself that so much broccoli can't possibly be good for you.
