Elspeth raises a brow. She was yet to eat a bite.
Elspeth: How much longer must we sit here? (looks around, bored)

Veronica: You don't have to stay in here, you could always go back to your lovely cell (sarcastically).

Elspeth: I am a queen, I have a kingdom. You shouldn't speak to me in such a tone.

Elspeth took quick offense to this.
Elspeth: And you (to Mab) Do you speak at all?
Perhpas it was not wise to turn anger on a by stander, but she had to do something before lossing her temper.

Yeesh, sorry, I'm not gonna be able to match your speed!
Mab watches the exchange with growing scepticism. Mab: (puffing up somewhat indignantly) I am Mab, Queen of the Old Ways, and of Air and Darkness. And you would do well not to provoke me. You, a queen? Queen of what? She casts a condescending glare at the other woman.

Elspeth felt herself tense between these two.
Elspeth: Of my kingdom, what else? (glaring hard at Veronica) A real Queen.
(a softer expression turns toward Mab For this women had promise. This was a character of pure magic. A character not unlike herself, and with a sharp tongue to boot)
Elspeth: I'm here at the order of the court for my step childs murder. (laughs) But I'm not guilty.

Mab is completely ignoring the mere mortal woman, who is of little interest to her. The other, however... she can sense an aura of magic about her; nowhere near as old as Mab's, but still something that can be tapped into, that Mab can use...
Mab: Is your kingdom so far away that you have allowed yourself to be brought here against your will?
She looks the supposed queen up and down. She herself is slightly disorientated; a sun ago she had been inhabiting the nothingness of the Void, forgotten. But now she is back on the world of men, she certainly intends to make the most of it.

Elspeth: (with a heavy sigh) I only allowed it because there was no other alternative. But things will change soon enough.
She smiled a closed mouth grin, her eyes gleaming with pride in her beauty, and, perhpas, heartlessness.
Elspeth: (allowing herself to look in the direction of Veronica with her grin still intact) Watch yourself.

(oooh, this seems interesting, hehe- so far we have Mab, Veronica and Elspeth. Mind if I invent someone new?)
Melissa walks into the hall and stares around for a few moments, before going over to the table where the other three women are sitting, dropping herself into the seat next to Mab, and attempting- unsucessfully- to deposit her tray on the table. The tray lands, with great aplomb, on the floor.
Melissa: Oh, bugger...
Embarassed, she picks up the tray, dusts off the sandwiches and begins eating.
Melissa: Sooo (swallows mouthful of sandwich) Would you two be new as well, then? (looks around at Mab and Elspeth, grinning in a slightly crazed manner)
