After the door closes behind Rep, Adelaide speaks to Asja as she looks back down at her schedule.

"Asja, please dash off a notice to my husband, and inform him that we are dining tonight at six. Have Lily find him in the tilting grounds, if she must.  And tell him I won't accept any excuses for being late."

"Right away, mistress," she drones before leaving.

As soon as Asja leaves, Adelaide stands and goes to a cabinet, taking out a key and opening its doors. She takes out a glass and goes back to her desk. Gesturing towards one of the bottles, frost creeps across its bottom. She pops the cork and takes a sniff, fills the glass, then sips it. She holds the glass back, appraising its color.

"Hmmm. Exquisite.  A tad dry."

She sets down the glass and goes back to work.
