"I'm afraid I do not know you." She squinted at his eyes. "Was that a proposal, sir?" She looked back to the manor. "I must go inside, Envoy. I'm expected at dinner. My future father-in-law is arriving." She clasped her hands. "I will speak to you again. I know it." She smiled and quickly walked away, back inside through the garden gates. "Something like that." He watched her as she walked away, eyes glinting in the sunlight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedric is yelling at some of kitchen staff as she comes in. “I’m paying you to make exceptional food- THIS- THIS- is not exceptional.” He sees her out of the corner of his eye and turns. “Where have you been? My father will be here in an hour.” He swats at her behind harshly. “Get a move on.” He turns and faces the kitchen again. “Lets go, hurry it up!” @Ookla the Raveness Quote Also, starting tomorrow afternoon until Friday morning I’ll be offline and off the grid. So I won’t be on the shard for a couple days, so either we will pause this, move this along quickly, or wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She still felt Envoy's characteristic wrongness, but after so much time with it, it felt less wrong and more... familiar. A unique skew to the world. Things were not unfamiliar, but new, details standing out in unusual ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also sorry I don’t know if you have a name for him so I'm calling him John for now but I'll change if he already has one Also what's his last name? Lord John did not like to be kept waiting. It wasn't unexpected from this Lady his son was so keen on marrying. There must be something more to her to attract his son. Or perhaps just a mostly obedient and beautiful young woman to play with. Mentally he shrugged, he didn't care what happened so long as he finally got his drunkard son out of his house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kitchen staff hurries to get platters and food on the dining table in the great hall. Cedric moves around, pointing out every flaw. ”Straighten that fork!” ”Add more salt!” ”Im allergic to pineapple! Get that out of here!” Her handmaiden quickly rushes over to her, assisting her quickly. ”Master is in the quite the mood.” She whispers into her ear as she finishes up. Cedric stands in front of the main doorway as the sound of the carriage is heard outside and a servant boy comes rushing in to announce the arrival of the masters father. ”MAE GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!” He yells up the stairs to her bedroom, which, if everything goes as planned, will not be hers much longer and she will move into the master with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I figured," Mae whispered back to her handmaiden. Smiling radiantly, Mae walked down the staircase with glamor. She was striking, after having put on a new silken violet gown and doing her hair up in a braided brunette bun. Her makeup was flawless and her jewelry was dazzling. She went to the doorway, her hand on the handle, ready to open the front door when Lord John approached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
