((fail. I didn't realise it was my turn over here))
"Thank you," Adrienne said, emphasising the word for the benefit of Lady Catherine. She took the cigarette and gestured at Katherine for a light, and then took a long draw on it.
She blew the smoke in Lady Catherine's direction and then held it up between her thumb and forefinger.
"We could share it," she suggested lightly, smirking. "Your ladyship?"

"It's a stupid law in my opinion. And laws like that are the ones made to be broken. Besides, if, by some miracle, the police do come, I've got my pepper spray with me."
Lady Catherine tutted dissaprovingly at Minola's blatant dismissal of the authority of the law, and her eyes widened as she offered a cigarette to Adrienne. Good grief, what was the world coming to?
"Thank you,"
Lady Catherine said nothing.
"We could share it. Your ladyship?"
Lady Catherine scoffed.
"I think not, Miss Heart. However foolish you and Miss Minola choose to be about the state of your health you shall not find me so."
ooc: I was going to remind you but I forgot. XD It's fine! -hugs-

(OC: No prob ^^)
Katherine smirked as Adrienne blew a puff of smoke in lady Catherine's direction.
"Oh come, Lady Catherine, don't rain on our parade. This is the most fun I've had all night." She remarked snidely as she leaned against the sink and turned to Adrienne.
"Say," She said in a light tone, "Are you able to ditch this party? We could go an a grab a drink somewhere, or at least find a better place to hang out than the ladies bathroom..."
She chuckled quietly as she waited for a reply. Watching Heart puff away made her crave another ciggarette, though she didn't have any left, and she had been restricting herself as of late. Instead she reached for a pack of gum in her purse, popped a strip in, and began to chew...

"Oh come, Lady Catherine, don't rain on our parade. This is the most fun I've had all night."
Lady Catherine rolled her eyes. She felt like saying she wasn't entirely surprised but, although she found Miss Minola annoying, there was something about her that (though she would never admit it) intimidated Her Ladyship.
As Katherine began to chew on a piece of gum, however, Lady Catherine found herself marvelling at her own resistance to these frankly disgusting young women. First smoking, now gum? Not to mention all the insults they'd thrown at her over the past few minutes.
"Are you able to ditch this party? We could go an a grab a drink somewhere, or at least find a better place to hang out than the ladies bathroom..."
Lady Catherine found herself hoping Adrienne would agree; she wasn't going to back down from this...whatever it was, but she wasn't particularly enjoying their company either.

"I could," Adrienne admitted reluctantly. She didn't want to back down either, but the bathroom was fast becoming an unpleasant scene. She'd been in there for so long that anybody paying attention was going to think she was either severely constipated or up to hanky-panky in there -- and the latter was so plausible that it would spread like wildfire through the office regardless of the truth.
"What do you have in mind?"

((OC: Why does Katherine always gravitate towards the bars? XD))
Katherine shrugged. "I don't know. Any ideas? I know a bar that serves great burgers", She mmused, remembering that bar Harry Chandler had taken her to. She tuned to Lady Catherine, and smirked.
"I'd invite you too, your Ladyship, but I imagine you wouldn't deign to degrade yourself to our level, and dirty your little hands with something as vile and common as a beer and a hamburger."
She turned back to Adrienne. "So, what do you think?"

"I'd invite you too, your Ladyship, but I imagine you wouldn't deign to degrade yourself to our level, and dirty your little hands with something as vile and common as a beer and a hamburger."
"For once I think you may be in the right," replied Lady Catherine rather huffily. Outwardly she retained her demanour of haughty displeasure but inwardly she was ecstatic at how this was turning out; it seemed these two obnoxious young women would soon be out of her overstyled hair.

"You know what? That sounds great," Adrienne decided, hand on her hip. She drummed her fingernails irritably there for a moment. She hadn't wanted to back down, but it was much easier to do it when there were numbers on her side. Katherine Minola was throwing her a life preserver, and she was going to take it while the taking was good.
Besides, this stuffy party only served as a reminder of Frank's recent conquest in HR. It only served to remind her that she was there alone, when she was supposed to be some sort of dating expert. And Catherine de Bourgh had long since worn off her novelty.
Yes. Leaving was not defeat, it was taking the higher ground. That was her story and she was sticking to it.

Katherine smiled. "Great. Let's get out of here." She turned to Lady Catherine, smirked one last time and, pushing the bathroom door open, said:
"It was wonderful meeting you, Lady Catherine. I hope you get that stick out of your ass soon. It must be dreadfuly uncomfortable."
With a throaty chuckle, she stepped outside, waiting for Adrienne to follow.

"You know what? That sounds great,"
Yes, Lady Catherine thought, yes it does. What are you waiting for? Shoo, the pair of you! Childish and stupid as the entire fiasco of a conversation (if it could be called that) had been, Her Ladyship was far too pleased that she seemed to have won in their battle of wills (though she didn't show this outwardly).
"Great. Let's get out of here. It was wonderful meeting you, Lady Catherine. I hope you get that stick out of your ass soon. It must be dreadfuly uncomfortable."
Shocked as Her Ladyship was at Katherine Minola's uncouth comment, she simply resigned herself to a tut of dissaproval.
