She finished patting her hair into place and stood up, primly smoothing out the red fabric of her dress skirt. "Now, then, Squall, I don't s'pose y'all could fill me in on what's been happenin' in my absence? I pride myself on having my ear to all the best gossip, I mean, news, and I surely would appreciate it if you could bring me right back into the loop!"
