Other court members start to trickle in; Bexley looks them over as they come, but says nothing, unfazed. She tilts her weight onto a back leg and relaxes. This may be her home, but it sure as hell isn’t going to run her over, Bexley just won’t let it happen, and by the looks of things no one here has the spine to do so anyway. Gaze level, she takes a glance at the crowd and then back to their “leader” as he responds. Mud - sand - and he seeks no crown, which Bexley hadn’t even accused him of, but doesn’t care enough to rebuke anyway, as his lack of levelheadedness becomes immediately, startlingly apparent, and her interest is lost. If he’s this upset over a few measly criticisms on his speech, he’s not going to last long in the Day Court of all places and Bex is curious how long it’ll take him to crash and burn.
What does spark a reaction, though, is the sudden virility of the woman next to her. Those strange amber eyes are blazing with hostility when they meet Bexley’s, and the venom of her voice is so potent it could very well be fatal when used on a weaker creature. Bexley can’t help her surprise, but the feeling is quickly replaced by anger. Her chest blazes with heat. Looking back at whoever the hell this is, she breaks into a hard smile, blue eyes narrowing, and says dispassionately: “Pleading guilty, your Honor, I do have a big mouth. Get used to it.” Get fucked would really be a better way to end, but Bexley keeps that to herself. Her plasticine smile remains perfectly in place.
Perfect. So at least two of her fellow court members are complete assholes, the rest of them are mute except to rag on the new royalty, and Bexley’s found her way to trouble within minutes, which means her time here is bound to just get rougher and rougher - she can’t say she’s surprised that her chance of a peaceful sink into luxury is already gone. She raises an eyebrow at the intimacy of the conversation that has sparked between her antagonists and watches with a flat gaze, hoping this meeting is headed in a direction that won't make her want to blow her brains out.
