Leave Petre off, he's fine as he is. And so's Caleb, he's brilliant. I'd go mad without him.

[There's a place to start.]

He was my date at the masquerade! Dark hair and eyes, really spectacular cheekbones, sort of crooked smile. But it was just as mates, he was my arm candy. And then I saw John there, and he had a date too, but she was - [Her mouth pulls into an exaggerated frown.] - really beautiful, I mean perfect, blonde and blue-eyed and American and just. Where in god's name did he find her? And why do I care? Give me the fucking bottle.

[She thrusts her hand out petulantly.]

I don't care. But at least I know his type now, and it's not me. No wonder he'd never give a straight yes or no. Anyway, he's a bastard, like I said.

Well. Yes.

[She props herself up enough to take a long drink, then flops back down again.]

He looked really handsome, though. I didn't know he could look handsome. And Shai was there as well, and Shai... [She sighs, almost dreamily.] She really is perfect. In every way. And she makes me want to be perfect just like her, but I'm the furthest thing from it. She's always saying I'm enough as I am, but she'll figure out I'm not.

She is. [Drunken, bitter petulance.] She's... strong, and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, and she commands respect just by - by being, she's one of those people you respect as soon as you're in her company. She's funny. Beautiful. Nothing breaks through her shell.

[It's everything Celeste tries to project, basically.]
