Round 49

I can feel the tension in the room shift as everyone turns their attention to me. Silra's hand moves instinctively toward her blade, her eyes narrowing as she assesses the situation. Jeane's smile doesn't falter, but I see a flicker of irritation in her expression before it smooths out again.

"Oh come now," Jeane purrs, spreading her arms wide in an inviting gesture that makes her wings flutter slightly. "There's no need for anyone to leave so soon. We're all here to have a good time, aren't we?" She takes a step toward Abby, her movements fluid and graceful.
