corinne finished putting away the last of her things before she straightening up her appearance and making her way out of her room and towards teddy's suite. she lightly knocked on the door and took a step back, eyes glancing around the hallways while she waited. once the door opened, she was surprised to be greeted by a tall brunette instead of her cousin, mouth parting slightly in surprise. "oh, hi! is teddy here? i really need to speak to him." before either of the women could speak, teddy's voice rang out from inside the suite and tatiana stepped aside with a smile so corinne could enter the room and walk to where teddy was sitting on the couch. "i'm gonna go take a walk and leave you two to talk." after exchanging a kiss with teddy, she exited the room and corinne looked over to her cousin.

"ted, there's a lot of problems goin' on in new orleans - that's why i'm here. i didn't leave because papa finally let me, i had to. i don't even know if he and mama are alive -" the tears began to pool up in her eyes as she was flooded with memories of the night she had to leave her childhood home. "da people that came to the house were mad, teddy. so, so mad - i could hear the yelling from papa's office. they were sayin' dat we screwed them over, but i've seen all of papa's business partners before and they aren't any of them."

"percy and olivier haven't been home in a few months, either! what if dey found them first? i didn't even have time to leave them a note or anythin' - what if i never see any of them again?" corinne couldn't stop the tears that started to slip down her cheeks, now leaning into her older cousin's shoulder for comfort. "i could hear papa tellin' them dat they had the wrong people, but they were insisting that it was a knope dat did it. it was scary, ted - i'm tellin' ya, i never saw anyone that mad before. i just barely made it outta the house when it happened."
