Then, she continued to stand like the regimented Catholic school girl that she was; at ease with her hands clasped calmly behind her back. If nothing else, she should at least come across as unassuming. Considering all the help he had been--and considering he hadn't decided to off them for being thorns in his side--Clover actually felt a little bad about deceiving Edward. Hesitantly, she allowed herself to fantasize for a moment as to how her existence would differ if she had taken him up on his offer to allow her to enter his court. How long would it have taken her to climb her way through the ranks? No. Angelica Edwards never climbed. She glided effortlessly through a world which was always hers to command. She had just never known how to work the puppets properly until her change. Abruptly, her fantasy ended on a flat note as she listened to the three vampires behind her making a variety of shuffling, idle noises. Koln, Ruby, and now Lacey. She sighed inwardly. Yes, truly, these were the three reasons she could probably never achieve that greatness. They would have never forgiven her for giving into the allure of Edward's offer. And she could have probably never forgiven herself for abandoning them, either. She wasn't sure what was up with Lacey, but she got the feeling that Koln and Ruby would never have been welcomed into the Prince's little "club".Nodded resolutely, she finally answered him, "No, I believe we've done all here that we can. We thank you again for your consideration. You have our deepest gratitude." She dipped her head into the respectful bow she had recently given Liverman. It seemed formal enough and, deceiving or not, she would never wish to be thought of as rude. Turning, she regarded her companions, "Well, I don't know how far we'll get for tonight, but I suppose it's time to leave. Right? So, to California!"*end story arc?*</blockquote>
