[Fireworks are probably going to seem a little less fun in a few days when the whole city's a powder keg but civil unrest is generally inconsiderate that way.]
And you mean Byerly? [Not said with the kind of surprise that might imply he's affronted by the possibility. Not: what, Byerly, that sweet and gentle soul? Just a moment being startled at another point of recognition and then - less so. Byerly gets around like something pandemic, and has an equal talent for friends and adversaries. Still, Prior's not to be waylaid so easily.] But it's a party. Half the point is that they're crowded enough to avoid one's bête noires until they're too drunk to notice you.
[He clasps his hands together, a little plea.]
Besides, I could use some help with the ambiance. They go big on chamber music here, fine for a coronation but poor for the dancing afterwards. Nobody wants to party like it's 1799.
maybe it's maybelline
