Everyone was politely trying not to notice the argument that was brewing, Charon was busy trying not to notice the quickly spreading puddle of punch and Kizmat was virtually bristling with anger. Charon glared steadily at him and said in her deadliest sweet voice....

"Darling, this is not the time or the place to be making a scene, everyone is trying not to notice so have some fucking manners before I have to teach you some in front of these lovely people!"

Kizmats mouth dropped open, she'd never spoken to him like this before and without realising it Charon had made the whole thing ten times worse. Kizmat felt the need for some extra large fonts and was just about to let loose with some choice words when Richard Arcane himself made his own grand entrance, apparently not noticing the ensuing storm brewing in one corner of the room.

The top bigwigs immediately gravitated towards where Richard stood schmoozing. Kizmat opened his mouth to say something to Charon and found it very quickly stuffed with several crusty rolls filled with salmon. He looked down to see Charon with her hands on her hips, glaring at him with her laser like eyes, he shuddered and chewed very quickly. She start to make her way over to Richard when Kizmat grabbed her and pulled herround to face him, he'd finished the salmon rolls.

"What the fuck?! I don't think I even know who I'm married to any more!!"

Charons temper was slowly rising and was getting to a dangerous level and now the whole rooms attention was on Kizmat and in particular, Charon. She took a slow breath, looked levelly at Kizmat and then answered him quietly.

"If you are going to insist on acting like a five year old in public then you will be treated accordingly. Do you understand me?"

Kizmat glared at her.

"You have no fucking backbone any more! You'd rather kiss ass with these fucking losers than have mad rampant sex, what the fuck is wrong with you?!"

That was it, Charon didn't even think about what she was doing and picked up the abandoned punch bowl ladle. She cracked it over the top of Kizmats head before picking up a chair and slamming it into the left side of is head. He staggered slightly sideways knocking over another tabled filled with sugary goodies. Richards face showed annoyance and he was seen talking to several men who looked as though they were gorillas dressed in expensive tuxedos....
