In the back of the sleek black towncar, Olympias was clad in gold, the dress moving like snake scales in the street light as she swung the door open to greet her son coming down the steps of his building.

"Just on time," Olympias said, slipping back across the seat so that he could join her. "You look so handsome."

Alexander had dressed (http://cdn04.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pine-korea/chris-pine-south-korea-05.jpg) a bit nicer than he normally would have to go out, but it was his mother, and that was just what he did.

"Thank you," he said, slipping onto the seat next to her. "You look beautiful, Mother, as always."

Olympias just nodded dismissively, a woman who understood her own beauty and how to use it, but knowing it was unimportant in that moment.

"Driver, go on." She tapped the glass and then drew a bottle of champagne from the box in front of them. "To start the evening right," she smiled, pouring Alexander a glass.

Alexander smiled and accepted his glass. "Cheers," he said, clinking his glass against hers. "So, how have you been, mother?" he asked. "It's been a long time since I've seen you."
