The Duke's Madness(Victorian,Slave RP,Semi-Lit)

[Queen of Spades]

Leon walked down the stairs, and to the front door, where a small basket hung. He used it for outgoing mail that he had to get out. He looked up at the ceiling, hearing the two giggling girls, though not precisely what they were talking about. He looked back at the door, wondering if Alice was alright. She was taking an awfully long time. He sighed lightly, then went back upstairs, stopping at Shadow's room. "Just to say, you two are being quite noisy. I can hear you from downstairs. I suggest if you want to keep any of your gossiping a secret, you should tone it down a bit." He told the two with a smirk, then continued on to the library. He saw Cecily, and smiled at her. "It's nice to see you so serious about your work."

Shadow and Jenny stopped laughing when Leon turned up in the door She smiled at him. When he left her and jenny cracked up Gasping for breath she sat up "Leon wait.." She Dress was not in the best shape the low cut neck line was so far down you could almost see her nipples and at spots the skirt was pulled up and out of order, but she didnt care she had to ask him something before forgot following him into the library, she gasped for breath.. "Leon... Leon.. I have to ask you..Something.." She said between breathes.

-Cecily Anne Kirkland-

Cecily had been thinking to herself of other fun ways to pass the time when master came into the doorway. She had been concentrated on her task beforehand, but after hearing the compliment Cecily's small face smiled brightly in return."They may not always be as fun as card games, but sometimes things just have to get done." Cecily nodded with her words, her cute little smile returning as she picked up the tray to take it out. "Oh, hello Miss Shadow." Cecily said with a broad smile and a bow. Cecily blinked a bit upon noticing the state of which Miss Shadow was before her. Truly whatever she had to tell master had to be important, for even a woman of Cecily's age would not dress in such a manner."Um, I just out of the way I suppose..." Cecily said awkwardly with a bow to each of them as she skirted for the room quickly.

Leon looked back, a bit surprised at the manner of her attire. "You should make yourself presentable, Miss Shadow." He told her, his tone a bit more firm than usual. He nodded to Cecily as she left, then turned to Shadow. "At any rate... What do you need? Surely it must be important if you did not bother to straighten out your dress?" He wasn't fond of anyone being in a state of "disrepair" as he called it, as it just made them look sloppy and not responsible.

Shadow gasped at her self "Oh im soo sorry." She said to herself. She turned around at fixed the dress pulling things up and down and this and that. Once she looked better she turned around "Okay yes i had to ask... Havent you ever just laughed aloud not caring what people thought and what they saw?" She asked Leon didnt seem like the type of man to do that tough she would have found it more exciting about him but then he was already exciting.

Leon sighed, looking away while she fixed her dress. When she spoke, he looked back. He then shook his head. "No, I can't say I really have. It's not very proper to do so, and I'm not fond of comedies and mischief." He stated, walking into the library. "I much rather prefer seriousness, but Cecily does add a nice change in the atmosphere around here. I'm more of a person to read in silence than to joke around and laugh. I do go to parties, which is where I meet many people, but other than that, I'm not very socially active or all that frivolous."

Alice
Even though I was taking my time it wasn't long before I was back at the mansion. I put the horse away in the stable and went into the back door that lead into the kitchen where I stored all the items I had bought for lunch and supper. I then put the basket back up and headed upstairs where I heard people talking I could tell one voice was the master's and it was coming from the library so I headed that way. I walked up to the door and knocked on it"Master I'm back is there anything you need me to attend to?"I ask standing there waiting slightly. Hoping I hadn't disturbed an important conversation between the two.

[Queen of Spades]

Leon looked over at Alice, and smiled at her. "Ah, you're back. I was starting to worry about you." He said, thinking. "No, I don't believe so. Why don't you relax for a bit? Miss Shadow here was talking about taking you somewhere." He said, to her, gesturing over to Shadow. "I don't think there is anything else you will need to do until dinner. But please stay here for now, as I have to speak to you once our conversation is over."

Alice
"I'm sorry I caused you to worry Master and ok I shall be over here when you are ready for me"I say and walk over to the shelves of books that I hadn't read yet and picked up the one I had started last week and sat down and began to read. I only had a few more shelves of books left before I had read the whole first level of books.I enjoyed reading in my spare time but I wasn't sure how I learned but I tended not worry about such things for too long.

Shadow flinched when Leon said this so bad she fell on the floor. When she asked things at home she usually got hit with a hand or belt once it was a bat with her grandparents say "Woman dont ask things they are seen not heard." She looked at him "oh Leon how have you never laughed like that?" she frowned. "oh Leon." she said again. Seeing Alice, She sat up and turned "I think I have upset your master I'm very sorry." she said then getting up shewalked out of the library.
