[ funny thing is, if they did escape the room to steal away for the rest of the evening, the comments on his sex life would only multiply. but it's to be expected either way; the combination of the novelty of a newcomer to such gatherings on top of it being benedict himself who'd brought her along is far too juicy to ignore, and thus whispers were bound to follow them around. maybe by the end of it all, the intrigue will die down... but that's a pretty slim chance.
all that being said, kate herself just barely stifles a cough when it gets brought up so casually. she's reminded vividly of just how close she'd come to being completely naked in front of her nephew not more than an hour ago.
kate can tell it's going to be a long evening. she can feel the fatigue already creeping into her bones, threatening to undo her, but she fights it off valiantly for now. not that she doesn't indulge in another sip of her wine, picking it back up after having set it aside to speak with helen.
once alone again, she turns to benedict, gives his hand a squeeze. ]
One down.
[ if she had the hand to spare, she would've given him a thumbs up but alas. ]
