( the pained turn of his smile causes her own to fade a little. her intent had never been to hurt him. elizabeth softens her features some, and responds to him quickly to assuage some of that pain if she can. )
Are you quite well, Sirius? I was jesting a good deal. I am sorry. ( though, his next words make her brows pinch together and her nose to wrinkle. )
It was not my idea in the first place. But it was a better alternative than me attending such an occasion unclothed as you suggested. Thus the jest.
[Attending unclothed. As suggested. Well, fuck. Cesare knows that Sirius is a cad but this is on a whole other level. First his sister and now his girlfriend? Find your own girl, Black. Cesareβs grip on Elizabeth subconsciously tightens slightly.]
Perhaps we should all be remaining clothed on such an occasion and allow the focus to be on Our Lord, yes?
[Ok, so perhaps Cesare couldn't care less about Jesus, but heβll mention Him if itβs useful. Thereβs nothing like a good bit of Catholic guilt to force everyone to be decent.]
