Rowaini Musketeers: One For All and All For One

"Mais non. Marie must have been careless and left them open," Belinda offers, as she glances around for the brooch.

*Tristan doesn't see anything terribly out of place in the sitting room. The open doors lead to a variety of rooms, including a bathroom and a bedroom.*

"Of course." replies Tristan. He relaxes a bit but keeps Belinda in sight.

"Ah, there it is!" Belinda sees the brooch on a desk and heads over to grab it, "So careless, that Marie! And her servants should have been on top of that. Ah well, it isn't so bad. Now we have it. We should head back to Sabine."

"If a man dishonoured and mishandled a Lady, then, what would a Musketeer do?" Anne wonders.
“Well, I would challenge him to a duel of course, where I would endeavour to drub him soundly before making him apologise to the lady for his transgressions,” Gabriel replies solemnly, a hint of his darker side coming to the surface as he continues, “As for his fate after the apology ... well that would depend on whether his contrition was sincere or not.” Taking a sip of wine as he regains his composure, he adds with an apologetic smile, “My pardon lovely Anne, this is not the place for such dire thoughts and pronouncements, after all it’s supposed to be a party. Perhaps we should restrict ourselves to more cheerful topics, well, unless these questions have a purpose beyond mere curiosity...”

"Well...there's a man here, a brute of the man, who gra...wait, this is a party...I wouldn't want to ruin the party for this and all, you know, but?...oh, but he was insulting me because my father is just a minor baronet, calling me a witch and a prettied-up whore. Then he started...touching me. That beast! I...But...I wouldn't want to cause any trouble...Do you think a duel would be okay?"

"Should we close the doors behind us, or are you leaving them open for Maries clandestine return?" asks Tristan with a conspiratorial wink to Belinda, and extending his arm to her again.
 

"Hmm, she won't be going back here next, I think. Well I guess we can cover for the servants and close the doors."

*Belinda heads towards the bathroom door to close it, and as she does, Tristan thinks he might have heard a quiet sound coming from one of the rooms on the other side, the bedroom or the small personal dining room, though it might just be nothing.*
 

Being the helpful Musketeer that he is, Tristan heads over to the other side to close the bedroom and personal dining room doors, though he does approach them quietly and with an open ear.

*Both of the rooms at least appear to be empty as he moves to close the doors, but there might have been another slight sound coming from somewhere off to the side in the bedroom. Then again, maybe not. The bed is still made in the bedroom, a pretty pink silken thing with a flower motif carved into the dark wooden bedframe, but some of the drawers and closets are haphazardly open as if someone had rummaging through them.*
 

*Once is an accident,
Twice is a coincidence,
Three times makes it true.

Tristan had been willing to dismiss the open doors, and even the faint sound, he wasn't sure he heard, but the open drawers, well Marie didn't seemt o be the kind of girl to be slovenly, or is she were the bed wouldn't be made while the drawers were askimbo.

Tristan glances back at Belinda to see that she is still there, then carefully heads into the room to get a better view of the side where the noise had been coming from.*
