Who: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, Isabelle Darlington
What: Doing the comforting thing
When: Wednesday night
Where: Richard's place


Eleanor was at the end of her rope with John. She really did love her son, but hitting his girlfriend was not something she was just going to let slide. But for right now, making sure the girl was alright was more important. If she needed someone to comfort her, to be a maternal figure in her life, then Eleanor could do that.

She went straight to Richard's from work, pulling up to the curb and parking her car. She took a moment to collect herself, to switch from CEO mode into a mothering one. Then she ascended the steps and knocked.

Isabelle grazed her cheek with her small hands. It didn't throb anymore, but it didn't look pleasant either. She had to go out with big sun glasses over her face and hope no one asked her about it because she would go off about how horrible her ex was (even though deep down she missed him---and that made her feel terrible).

She took a seat beside Eleanor, politely nodding as Richard prepared the wine. She needed a little, maybe it would help wash some of this away. "I'm okay, really." She told Eleanor, her dainty fingers pinching the flute of the wine glass.

She sat down, taking her own glass and sipping from it. She gave Richard a small smile, pleased he'd remembered her preference. She held herself back from sighing into her glass, it wouldn't help anything.

"I have my ways," she replied, half chipper, half quiet growl. Then she turned to Isabelle. "If you do decide to press charges, my dear, I know a very good attorney who can help."
