Ouch, Esmeralda thought. That stung. She could practically see her father's brain whirling to try and come up with a reply to Odette's statement. "What the heck is that supposed to mean? I show you affection all the time. I spend time with you, I'm letting you get whatever you want for our wedding."
"Dad, you do know that giving gifts isn't the only way to show affection, don't you?" Esmeralda said, giving Facilier a look.
"Of course I do, I'm not an idiot," Facilier snapped. "That's just how I do things, okay?"
Esmeralda raised an eyebrow. "Dad, don't tell me that you're afraid of showing other ways of affection because of what happened with Mom."
Facilier didn't reply to that. He just glared at his daughter before moving to the doorway, giving Aladdin a little nudge with his arm to scoot him over. "Odette, come on, what do you want from me?" he asked. "You know I'll give you anything you want if you just ask."
Esmeralda moved to pull on Aladdin's arm. "Better let them sort this out, honey," she said. "They've got stuff going on that they probably don't want us overhearing." She knew that Facilier and Odette had a long past with each other, even before she came into the picture. No doubt they needed a walk or something to cool off.

"Best you listen to your lover young man" Odette said simply as she glared upon Aladdin for moving to try and stop her "I know very well how much of an effort Esmeralda is making for it was not that long ago I recall her disapproval of me quite greatly" yes not so long ago the two women when together always had words that would make one of them walk off angrier then before. But it seemed tonight had been one of those rare times where that was not to happen.
Though her attention turned to Facilier when he approached glaring at him before she relented and turned her gaze away "... You are a fool... how many gifts did you give me when we first met? or shared nights together over glasses of wine? none, and yet I fell for you... a truely stupid thing to do. I thought that once Thrax was gone you would have gotten past HER.... finally able to love someone else... but it was a stupid thought, you will never be over her will you?!" turning to face him now and for the first time in a long time tears were welled up in her eyes before just turned away again digging her nails into her palms as she just moved to push past him to leave.

Aladdin shrunk back his form eeping. Hiding behind Esme."Uhmn..." his form blinking. "I see what you mean, Esmerelda.''he'd state softly. sweatdropping."I promise i'll explain the issue about me.. too you. later. ...on. after.. we leave here.''he'd note. his form wanting too make sure Odette was all-right, at least. But instincts said too protect Esme. His eyebrows arching up . he wondered if things were downward spirallin for Odette and Facilier, or not.

Facilier's eyes sparked with anger at the mention of Sara. That was two times she had been mentioned in the span of a few minutes, and it was upsetting him. His dead lover was still a sore spot for him. There was always the guilt he felt for practically being responsible for her death. There was the guilt of keeping her identity a secret from everyone, especially Esmeralda. Lavishing gifts upon people he cared for was his way of dealing with that, for he reasoned that if he got them anything they wanted, they would be satisfied. But once again, Facilier couldn't pick up on what Odette wanted, that it took more than just letting her have whatever she wanted to make her happy. He did love her, he just couldn't show it the way anyone else could, the way she needed it to be shown.
Esmeralda could see her father's temper rising, and she knew it was only a matter of time before he said something that he would regret. "Dad, come on, just let it go," she said, gently pushing him back into the caravan before he could storm after his fiance. "She needs to be alone. You go after her now, and you could end up having a fight that could decimate half the circus." The wrath of a wizard and a striga were dangerous enough, but combining the two was surely a recipe for disaster.
Facilier didn't say anything. He kept looking in Odette's direction, even long after she had left. "Doubt it would matter to her anyway," he muttered angrily. "I'm sure she would love to see that happen. Then I couldn't have an excuse to stay here." Of course, he was referring to Odette's suggestion of him leaving the circus so they could work on their relationship, and handing the position of ringmaster to Esmeralda. His daughter raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, but he just shut the door, effectively signaling to her and Aladdin that this dinner party was over. Esmeralda sighed as she looked at Aladdin. "Well, I guess that wasn't too bad," she said, trying to lighten the situation up a bit. "I mean, we're all in one piece. The caravan is still standing. And you didn't get turned into a frog." She affectionately bopped Aladdin's nose. She did wish this dinner had gone better, but part of her wondered if she had really expected a different outcome. Facilier was tense with Aladdin, Odette wasn't particularly fond of him, she and Esmeralda had a bad history between them, she and Facilier had a complicated one. And there were still things about Aladdin that he hadn't shared with anyone yet. Putting all these things together in one room probably wasn't the wisest idea. "Come on, we'd better go," she said, taking Aladdin's hand. "He probably doesn't want anyone lurking around here."
