SmilingPanda19 Hi/Ho Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 31 minutes ago, Ookla the Abstract said: He didn't move or even flinch as Cedric aimed the gun. He just stayed him down. The face was deeply unsettling for reasons that were difficult to describe. 28 minutes ago, Ookla the Lotus said: "Cedric." Mae said harshly under her breath, placing her hands urgently on his arm holding the gun. "Be sensible. At least hire an assassin, will you? And to think I was off telling this man murder was above you! You're a gentleman, Cedric. Act the part." “Oh shut up, damn woman. You get in the house. I’ll call the dogs if I must to get this good for nothing son of a gun out of my sight.” He lowers his gun slightly and pushes her inside, leaning his head out of the door just before he shuts it. ”YOU HEARD ME (your maternal guardian…. A very naughty naughty word)!!! GET ON!” He slams the door behind him and looks over at Mae, he is furious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae curtsied slightly and hurriedly walked off inside, assisted by her handmaiden and another maid. "I do not know this man, you think me stupid." He mutters. "I will not have any man touching my woman!" He calls after her. "Nor will I have her disrespect me." He says under his breath and hands his shotgun to one of the butlers. He stomps through the manor up into the master bedroom. He waves for another butler and one comes running over. "Send a man for my father, I want him here for supper. We have urgent business to discuss." They stand there for a moment waiting for anything else. "GET ON!" They quickly run off to send someone for him. He picks up a bottle of whiskey and pours himself a glass, walking slowly down the hall to lean against the wall outside of Mae's bedroom. He won't barge in, he will wait for the prey to find him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She quickly rushed to her washbasin and wet her face, washing away where tears had streaked her face. Her cheek was red and raw from when he had hit her. She arranged her hair in her mirror and took a breath. She seemed put together enough. His father would be here. Again. She had to impress him. Again. She opened the door. "I apologize, Cedric. I was acting foolishly, I imagine. I seem to have been a little tipsy myself. I wasn't thinking clearly, really. I think I ought to lay down, actually. My head still isn't thinking straight, and I may have gotten myself ill," she acted as if she had noticed the glass for the first time, "Do you not think it quite early for whiskey, dear? No matter, a servant can bring you a glass of water soon enough. Henry?" She looked around for the butler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envoy was no longer visible outside the window, but Mae still recognized the feeling of wrongness that haunted her when he was nearby. It was like the room, despite how many times she'd been in it, felt unfamiliar. Cedric felt it too, though he might not have recognized it as easily. @Ookla the Yellow Sock Edited December 16, 2023 by Ookla the Abstract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
