Sophia laughed as Maegaladiel offered to kiss her shoes. Bending down under the table she fished out one of the dainty red slippers she'd discarded earlier and held it out. "It hasn't been very many places..." she said, apologetically, as she offered it up to be kissed.
Mae laughed hysterically as she reached out and took the shoe between two of her fingers. "Oh my..." she said, looking the shoe over curiously. "it is rather clean." She went to set it down, but Fin stopped her.
"Aaah, you can't get out of it now!" he grinned wickedly and pushed the shoe toward Mae. Sophia laughed hysterically, but noted, out of the corner of her eye she saw Sunny Day creeping up on them. Suddenly she was accosted by the Uruk-guards and dragged out the door, all the while shrieking in the most undignified manner.
Mae, however was looking at the shoe Fin held up to her with slight distaste. She finally threw up her hands in mock frustration, and planted a dainty kiss on the red slipper. Sophia and company cheered. Fin had procured a second bottle of wine, and they prepared for a good toast.
