Shadows mouth was in a small o. " I'm still very upset with you but I would stay with you.. My family.. The little that I have.. Doesn't need me and if my grandparents were to some how die.. You could have my money. I wouldn't need it anymore anyway. " she said looking at him, realizing how her ideal sound and how he wouldn't go for it she shook her head and said" I'll not mess with them anymore.." she said.

I opened my eyes, I couldn't sleep not now anyway so what was the point in trying.I stood back up and paced around the small room; my shellfishes behavior had already returned"This room is so small and dingy,, the bed is too hard and these rages they call clothes"I stuck up my nose and made a sound of disgust. I rested my hand on my hips and tapped my foot, I wasn't used to being confined to my room and such a small one at that. I looked around and saw a small easel set up with some cheap paint and graphite, and worn out brushes. I had nothing else to do so I shrugged and got to work sketching out the scene and then i began to paint.

I stopped by the local apple stand and bought a few, I leaned against the wall and feed one to my horse. I began to eat one myself and looked around watching as people passed by; I put the rest of the apples away in my saddle pack. I just stood there as I ate my apple and watched people pass by, I would go back home here soon but for right now I just wanted to enjoy my time here. No one to bother me and it was a bit quieter than my house was and we all needed a little peace at times, but it wouldn't be much longer until I missed it and went back to the crazy house filed with my whole family who I loved so much.

-Cecily Anne Kirkland-

Cecily had used her little game to drive her up the levels of the house quickly. She was sweeping very quietly on the last floor for her little game. She was able to hear voices because of the quiet game she had chosen. Cecily's childish maturity level had curiosity in it when she quietly followed the voices to the master's door. The first thought was that Cecily should return to her work and just move on. It was a private conversation master was having and surely that meant that it was not for Cecily's ears. There was something though that compelled Cecily to stay outside the door, barely even daring to breath. Cecily resisted to urge to place her ear on the door and listen in on the conversation, but since she was being so quiet, she could make out the last part of the conversation. Through the muffled sounds coming from the room, Cecily heard hypnosis, breaking free, and Cecily herself following Alice. Cecily was puzzled. Was this the same hypnosis that Miss Shadow had been trying to use to take her away? Was a similar sort of hypnosis keeping her here? The idea itself was insane, but Cecily continued to listen. Then Miss Shadow started speaking and Cecily did not really like what was being said. Miss Shadow was nice company yes, but Cecily did not really like the idea of Miss Shadow staying with master. From what Cecily heard it sounded like Miss Shadow wanted to be here with master. Cecily couldn't help but start to feel selfish at her own thoughts but the feeling quickly died down. She was confused now about the earlier part of the conversation she heard, about the hypnosis. I was here because I wanted to be with master right? Cecily thought this to herself many times over but what she heard was confusing her. Fearing that the conversation between master and Miss Shadow was nearly over, Cecily abandoned the pile of swept up dirt and ran to the stairs on her tiptoes so she would not make any noise. She needed to think a bit, probably privately. Cecily ran down the stairs and placed the broom back where she had found it. Cecily debated going to her room, but she was a bit worried that if she ran back up stairs she might bump into Alice or Miss Shadow or maybe even master himself. Instead Cecily quietly headed out the back door to the garden where she could pretend to be working while also being hidden so she could think to herself.

Ah, good, she took the bait. "I know, and am not asking for forgiveness." Leon stated, then looked up, shaking his head lightly. "I couldn't take your money; but if you want to stay for a while, I would have no objections to it. You're welcome to stay for as long as you please." He said, then stood. "Thank you. I now have to speak to Cecily and Alice; I need to apologize to Cecily for something I said to her, and I need to talk to Alice about how she has broken free. Please do not tell anyone about this meeting, or what I have told you." He said, going towards the door.

Once Lamont reached the stands, he purchased everything his mother had told him. While waiting for the produce to be bagged up, he looked around the market. It was bustling, as usual. "Eight silver." The stall owner said simply, holding out his hand. Lamont gave him the required money, and took the bag, walking off. He paused for a moment, staring up at the de Viuepont mansion. He had been afraid of the place, even when he was younger. His parents told him not to worry, but his friends would always share stories of the family having ties to the devil, being sorcerers, witch doctors, using voodoo, all that stuff. The rumor amongst the children was that Leon, the young boy who was sometimes seen in town, was an omen of bad luck, and if you ever spoke with the shy boy, you'd soon die. Of course, Lamont knew that wasn't true, but he always got the chills from the place. He shuddered lightly and went on his way.

I keep painting, wiping my hands and brush on the dress witch I didn't care for anyway it was nothing but rags put together. I smiled faintly as I saw the scene of bright, vibrant red tulips come to life on the canvas; they were my favorite flower and my farther had filled the garden with them just for me. It was the only thing that brought me any joy at this moment.

Effey
I tossed the core of the apple away and got back on my horse and begin to ride through the market once again; I noticed very few people I knew and had meet at past parties. Off in the distance I saw bright red hair and wondered if it was Lord,Lamont; I speed up to see if I could see his face, I made sure not to run over anyone witch was a bit hard since the place was starting to get crowded. Once I saw his face I smiled with glee"Ello, Lord,Lamont it seems we meet again"I said smiling as I looked at him from my horse.

Shadow smiled hoping she couldn't tell that she was lying but as she was a worrier she took out a large purse and handed it to Leon, coins that waited to be spent jingles inside " For you.." she said . And walked out of the room. She ran to her own. And fell on the bed still smelling of her mother.' must think smart and tread carefully.' she thought to herself.

[Queen of Spades]

Before Leon could object, Shadow had already left. He sighed, and placed the purse on a small table near the door, then walked out. "Cecily!" He called, though he got no response. He assumed she was outside tending to the garden, and thus went to the servant's quarters to where he knew Alice would be. Once he stopped in front of her room, he knocked lightly on the door. "Alice, I need to speak with you. May I come in?" He questioned, looking down the hall. "It's quite urgent and very important."
~~~~~
Lamont looked up at Effey, and smiled lightly. "Yes, it does appear that way. I had to do a bit of shopping for my mother." He said, gesturing to the bag in his hands. "But please, no need to call me Lord Lamont, just Lamont is fine. I'm not as important as that." He said, looking ahead to where the Flambard mansion was. "My father is the only Lord of our family, and my mother and sister, Lady. I've yet to reach that status, though father says that next year will likely be the time when I can leave the house and start my own life."

I was almost done when I heard him knocl amd ask to come in and my smiled faded. I thought about not letting him in buti knew it would be a good idea, so I set my brush down and walked over and opened the door. I stepped out of the way to let him in and I closed the door behind him. "Yes, master what is so urgent that you need to speak to me about?" I asked doing my best to appear as if I was still his servant, so I didn't allow him to truly know I had broken free bur I still knew he suspected me.

Effey
I nodded "Alright, Lamont. I came out here to escape the hectic household, but I'm already starting to miss it"I said with a slight laugh."That sounds like after awhile once your settled that it will be quite nice, living by your rules alone no one telling you what to do, ah if only I could have such a luxury but then again freedom always comes with such a heavy price."I said sounding a bit more distance like I was somewhere else and talking to myself, but I was still talking to Lamont.

I stood outside my shop smoking, I smiled and winked at any lovely women who passed by. Some would smile and giggle, others wouldn't even look at me and some wouldn't look at me until their friends weren't and then they would. I smiled, I loved women and they seemed to love me as well. I stepped on my old cigarette and started a new one as I looked at all the lovely women.

Yuki
I sighed riding quietly in my carriage, I was desperate to get to Leon's manor and felt as if this carriage ride would never end. This time I actually hadn't been to his house in a few years and wondered if he would even recognize me. I looked out the window watching the as the secen outside flew by and wondered if Leon had changed any and if so how much.

Shadow walked out of the house bedding to get away she pasted she need the walk so she walked to the market. She saw a man smoking a cigarette she walked over in a lovely bright red dress with white trail at the bottom. As need to talk about everything and anything she walked up to him putting on her charm and her flirt." Hello." she smiled.

[Queen of Spades]

Leon smiled lightly, then walked inside the small room. "Ah, I see you're painting again." He said, sounding a bit distant. He then turned to her. "You may as well not fake it anymore. I know you're completely gone. I knew that you had broken free once you wanted to leave my room in a hurry after your fall." He said, wandering around the room slowly. "And I guess I could threaten you to stay, keep your mouth shut, et cetera, but I don't think I will..." He mused. "So I guess my other options are to let you go, or put you back in your place, where you belong here. I do still have Cecily, after all, I wouldn't be so bored with her around." He then looked at her. "Are you sure you don't just want to stay blissfully unaware that you ever had a life before this? You were much easier to handle when you were."
~~~~~
"I guess I could never miss a hectic household, because I have none to go to. It's pretty quiet around our house." Lamont told her with a smile. "I want to live out in the country, with lots of open space, room for horses or cattle, a shooting range, and a big house. Not a mansion, but a large house that would maybe take one maid to clean. And when I get married someday, I want the children to have room to play and not be confined to the depths of the house like I was. I would be completely content with my life."

Gen had gotten dressed in a presentable dress, and was now trying to find her mother. She eventually did, in her room. "Mother, I have a question. Do you think father would accept it more if I played with the children in a better dress than the rags I have?" "Well of course dear, if you would actually wear somethin to show your nobility, he wouldn't mind one bit." Geneveive sighed. "Not what I meant, but okay." "Dear, while on the subject of dresses, would you be a dear and pick up an order for me? I had gotten a letter that it was complete." The redhead nodded. "Sure." She said, rushing out of the room, and towards the door. As she walked out, she looked around, hoping to maybe catch sight of her brother, but no such luck. She continued on her way to the tailor's, wishing her mother wasn't so picky about her dresses.

Asher sighed, sitting on a barrel in the market, munching on the sweet roll he had been gifted. He watched as people walked through the market, some haggling with shopkeepers, some just taking the price as it came, and the occasional person who would simply be walking through. It was getting busy, the best time for pickpocketing. He was scoping out a possible victim, one who looked rich. There were a few nobles always out and about, so now he just had to find the right one.
