[And Kir's sneaking out of the Diamond Castle, having brought Lindsey some books to read. Though at seeing the Queen in such a state, the scribe reconsiders, wondering if it's too late to turn around and head back into the castle. The King's safer than braving this lioness, likely.]

[He's got time to flee yet, as Rachel's still engrossed in flinging the last three of her knives-- into a wooden target, thankfully, and not an actual person. It's likely she'll spot him when she goes to retrieve them, though.]

Going to bed, but Avery will tag first. <3

[Avery is just standing off to one side, watching. She's discharged her former duties to a competent Seven and has dug into her new workload and a third of Farraday's old already, and she can see that it's going to be a long night.

But she does need to update Rachel on the state of the household and let her know who will be doing her former work, so she's waiting until Her Majesty finishes.]

Sleep well! <333

[She'll have to wait a few moments longer, as Rachel seems determined to single-handedly stab a hole through the target, with the way she's throwing her knives. But she'll eventually stop in the endeavor and retrieve her knives, eyes shifting over to Avery as she begins to clean and pack them away.]

Yes, Avery?

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

[She was only just informed of Lindsey's collapse herself, after hearing of Farraday's leaving. So she stands to one side, waiting for Rachel to throw the knife in her hand before speaking.] My lady.

[For the briefest of moments, she considers carrying on as though she has not heard her. The roiling frustration beneath her usual calm is breaking through, and it's been known that bad things happen when she doesn't deal with it.

But this is Säde, and listening to what Säde has to say usually helps. So she doesn't draw another knife and instead turns to face her Ace.] Yes, Säde?

[Well, the bystander will most likely never have seen her aunt quite like this before. Rachel is all quiet rage and finesse, precise throws showing exactly why she had once been chosen to be the Diamonds' Ace and later their Queen.

But all of that will fall away into a faintly guilty expression once Rachel stops to retrieve her knives and sees the young Ace as she turns back around.]

Hello, little one.

[She was only really here to congratulate Avery on winning her challenge – and to possibly speak to Sophie about a rather peculiar bit of information she'd uncovered while speaking to the Club librarian.

However, it's not every day one gets to observe the Queen of Diamonds train, even if it looks like she is attempting to single-handedly destroy her target with the way she's throwing those knives.]

[thediamondqueen.livejournal.com]

[A few moments of watching will make it clear to Tegan that the Diamond Queen had not achieved the rank she had for no reason. The easy yet accurate manner in which she threw the knives bespoke of her time as an Ace, but the emotion behind it was all Queenly rage, tension and concern radiating off her form and propelling the blade into the target.]

[penchanttodrama.livejournal.com]

[Oh, that was probably not the best time to stop by and disclose rather unpleasant news. Helena will just keep a safe distance and wait for the Queen to stop throwing possible murder weapons.]

One tag, then bed~

[thediamondqueen.livejournal.com]

[It will take a bit for the Queen to stop throwing said weapons. But eventually she does halt in her efforts, beginning to put away the equipment.]

[di-a-mond.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't typically spend much time even in the vicinity of the Diamond Queen, much less when Rachel is training. Hell, she rarely even makes it up to the Castle all that often these days unless it's necessary for some reason, but she'd been talked into coming for lunch and a business discussion by a NPC friend and thus just happened to be wandering by. And staying out of the way, but still intrigued enough to watch.]

Never really got the hang of knives...but I've had a lot of time to practice with darts.

[Diana is lucky (or more likely wise) to have waited after Rachel had already thrown her knife before she spoke. Otherwise she may have ended up getting stabbed.]

I am told they are popular in your establishment.
