"This will be a good lesson for him on why he should. Honestly..." Virgilia puts a hand to her forehead and sighs before lowering the hand again to lean forward and place a kiss on Beato's forehead. Poor protege and her dumb husband. "Go on, then. It will be resolved soon enough."
"Shall I prepare tea for that occasion?" Ronove pauses. "Ah, perhaps we won't be able to be maintained here for too much longer. I'll leave a recipe, in that case."
Virgilia returns the hug easily, but says nothing when she pulls back and Beato turns to go. But, in fact, both Virgilia and Ronove are Very Concerned about wherever the Lord and Lady ended up outside of their territory.

[on an impulse, she's stepping forward to pull virgilia into a brief hug]
I miss you both so much. Being able to see you, even like this... it was nice.
[and she's heading out]
Re: Tea Room
At least the walk to the gardens is nice...
