Why was it the Ladies always went in the drawing room and the men to the den? Why couldn't the Ladies go into the den? There was brandy in the den. That would make it so much easier for Minnie to deal with Ladies.
Minnie did her best to look busy with... stuff. Oh Goddess, there was nothing to look busy with. Why had it been insisted that she had to be here? Tina could handle any information issues.
And then that plastic twit made what was obviously a veiled, pretentious insult to the household. To Julian and Tina! Minnie, with perfect grace, 'accidentally' spills punch on her.

Minnie has danced many times for members of the household with amused pride in their eyes.
She's danced for instructors who at first tried to convince her mother she was wasting her money (or Mr. H's money) ... until the music started.
She's danced under the piercing but apparently approving gaze of the Tall Lady, who directed most of her comments to Julian and spoke of the future.
She's danced with her nerves burning for a madman who decided he wanted her legs at a different angle and quite literally played her like a puppet rather than make requests.
She's danced for corrupt officials, celebrities, and crimelords, people with money and information.
But there's one cherished little Mix CD that she never breaks out for any reason but one: when she's alone with Julian. And that's when she dances her best.

((Warning: Unpleasant subject matter discussed))
Minnie came home from the gym to find a different color pattern than she was expecting leaking through the door. It was still a familiar color pattern, but fortunately without he sickening gray ruined patches that had recently become familiar as well.
Minnie was still blinking as she closed the door. "Tina?" What was Tina Frost doing on Julian's couch?

Minnie was 11, though strangers tended to assume she was 8. And at the moment, she couldn't move. ( Read more... )
Minnie was 16 when Mr. H. died, and Julian became master of the house. Master of a lot of things, really. ( Read more... )
Not long after that was Minnie's 18th birthday. And it was beautiful.( Read more... )

After her fascinating little discovery, Minnie made her way to Julian's. His little girlfriend, she knew, was off on a photo shoot and would not be visiting that evening. She knocked in a quiet but distinct fashion.

'Sister Midnight' is playing. The girl wearing nothing but high-quality leather binding over the most necessary places and knee-high boots with six-inch heels --that still don't make her very tall -- looks lost in the dance. And oh, does Minnie love to dance, but she's not as entranced as, say, most of the people with their eyes on her.
She's watching. Watching the dazzle and flow of energy throughout the club. And then out of the office comes a particularly lovely light. As usual, he's like the sun coming out from between the clouds.
As the song ends, she's very still for a bit while she still has so much attention on her. At least no one will lay a hand on her. It doesn't take long to make clear that she's picky about that when it's not convenient to avoid being picky.
