[The PCD turns on to show a hand pulling away from it.  Soon, it can be seen that that hand belongs to Riza as she moves to stand in front of the cabinets in the kitchen of the House of Love and Pictures.  Even though her back is to the feed, it's obvious she's unsure about something.  Her hands clench and unclench at her sides and she rocks back and forth, shifting weight from one foot to the other.

Finally, with a short exhale, she reaches toward one of the upper cabinets and pulls out a nearly empty bottle of brandy.  Standing on her tiptoes to peer into the cabinet, Riza then also pulls out a shot glass.  Well, this is a start.  She sets both on the counter in front of her and...hesitates before opening the bottle, but only for a moment.  Soon enough, the amber liquid fills the shot glass and Riza throws it back, then sets the glass back down (with a little more force than necessary) and shakes her head back and forth, cringing.

She breathes for  second, then repeats, though now the bottle is empty.]


...This isn't enough.

[Sighing, she leans over the counter, resting on her elbows, and lets her head fall into her hands.  She doesn't move and the feed switches off.]

War and strategy have always been more closely associated with the male... temperament.

[Mireille grants her a somewhat haughty look. Although she is not one to judge others on their conformity to courtesy, the thought of any female show of temper is... well, a reminder of her own failures.]

Only if they have not been raised to know better.
