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

-Cecily Anne Kirkland-

Childishly, Cecily snorted openly in a manner of distaste when she was positive no one was around anymore. Of course now everyone was looking for her. While it annoyed Cecily in her current condition deep down she was enjoying the attention of being wanted but not going to their aid. Those woman will have an easier time of getting the master to serve them then to get Cecily to do so. Well, if the master was gone anyway. "I think I'll stay outside for the rest of the day." Cecily announced to the flowers as she turned ad glared a the wall with a proud eye, as though she had accomplished something by ignoring their calls. If she were to be caught she would simply say that she traveled further down from the garden and did not hear anyone calling for her. Giggling sightly, Cecily gathered her skirts and removed herself from her hiding spot. After smoothing them back out again Cecily happily walked down towards the woods to explore a bit until it started to become dark. She would return around sunset or so. It was already late afternoon, but Cecily suspected she had time.

Shadow thought for a moment. "I have my reasons as you have yours.." She said even thought it made not scence. She sigh softly and looked down kind words would not make her forget the gun holding her as hostage. Not only that fact but ever since she was a girl she had excellent hearing. "I heard what your said to thr girl about me.." she almost whispered. "I wouldn't ever do that.. I promised I wouldn't." she said and pet the keen horses neck.

"Likely around seven, so we can bypass most of the crowd." Lamont said, watching as Lucy scurried about the kitchen, trying to prepare the dinner for that evening. "Tonight, we have company. Granted, I'm not very fond of him, but he's a friend of father's." "You shouldn't say such things, young master." The stout woman scolded. "Well it's true; the way he eyes Gen is unsettling. Not to sound vulgar, but it's almost as if he's undressing her with his eyes. I don't like it. She's my sister, and anyone who disrespect her disrespects me." He took another sip of tea, listening to the servant tut at him. "Anyway, back to our planning. Around seven will be the best time. I wouldn't wear anything too extravagant, just saying. I can get Roger to hook up the carriage to pick you up, and we'll head there straight away."

"Oh, that "knocking me from my perch" talk? That was just to get her to stay. She happens to be extremely infatuated with me. I took your promise to heart, but had to think of a way to keep her from coming with us. I had to tell her away from you so she would actually believe it, and so you wouldn't pipe up and ruin it." Leon said quite smoothly. "I know now you will do no such thing to me. It was merely a distraction for a certain Japanese princess who doesn't like to leave me alone." He added, turning the horse onto the main road. "If there's anything I can do to regain your trust, I would be glad to do so. I don't have many friends around here, just the servants and now Yuki. To most others, I'm a cursed man or simply a colleague. Lord Flambard is merely a colleague, for example. He would never help me if I were in trouble."

Shadow thought for a minute "How long can I stay with you until you want me out?" She asked. "and you shouldn't say things like that because it's very rude and mean." she said and looked at the people. "I got Alice a dress being made by a kind man. " she smiled softly. "Shes rememebering isn't she... That's why your being mean and locking her away."

[Queen of Spades]

"You can stay for as long as you wish if you don't break the rules of the household." Leon told her. "Or until Yuki gets jealous and tosses you out. I could quite easily see her doing such a thing." He said, sighing softly. "You have not been in the world by yourself for very long, have you? After a while, you will learn that the entire world is mean and rude. One gets used to it after having seen so many things." He stated, then looked down. "Yes. She is remembering her previous life. However, if she leaves, she will likely turn me in. Prison is not a place for people like me. People who are cursed, people who could snap and go completely mad at any moment..." He trailed off. "Even if she didn't tell, her father would eventually know it was me. I was the last person to be with her on that night, after all. I'm quite surprised he hasn't found out yet." He then thought for a bit. "But it is no matter. I will soon decide what to do with her. Letting her go or killing her are not options at all. I am no murderer. Perhaps I should ask mother... She always knows what to do..." At the mention of a dress, he looked back at her, and nodded. "I'll see that she gets it. For the time being, I have decided no one but myself will be allowed to see her."

"Why would she get jealous of me? I have no need for you.. And by that I mean I have no need for you as of a husbandry way. I only want you as a friend." she smiled slightly." T'is true.. I havent been by myself.. My grand parents think I am off marring you or in there eyes probably becoming a whore. In a way I'm glad you said no to me.. They would have tried to taken your money.. I wish.." she closed her eyes for a moment. "Will you please let me have a small Party for Alice.. Just the house servants or maybe just her Cecily you and I." she lifted her head up so she could look at him better. Just as she did so her lips bushed his softly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean.." she stopped and blushed then looked down.

"The feeling is quite mutual." Leon assured her. "She would merely be jealous of the fact that another woman besides my servants is sharing my air space." He stated. "Well, then I am glad that I did say no, for they would be sore in seeing I'm not as rich as I once was. By marrying Yuki, I'll have some sort of income, at least. Her father owns a business. What it is has slipped my mind, however... We haven't seen each other in some time, and now he is on his death bed." He listened to her, and nodded. "I will allow that much, yes. Unless things get too out of hand, of course... Her words have become like poison, and she is reverting to her ugly self. She is actually quite an arrogant girl when her true self." He leaned back just a bit, then shook his head. "It was a mere accident." He said, then stopped Excelsior. He dismounted, and held out his hand to help her down. "This is a store that should have some of the things you need. He has many trinkets and things popular for decorations and gifts. This is also where I get Alice's paints."

Shadow took his hand and helped herself down"Thank you." she looked at the store and removed his hand from hers she looked at the shop "hmm interesting.. " she smiled "Let's go in she said and held her arms close to her.

Leon nodded, heading inside. He walked towards the counter. "Good afternoon, Victor. I'm here for the usual paints, and I assume my friend here will be buying something. We're having a small party for a servant girl." He said, smiling at the older man. He nodded, and went into the back with a small box of paints. He set them on the counter. "I see. Leave it too good ol' Leon to throw a party for commoners and servants. You're a generous man, your parents'd be proud o' you." Leon smiled very softly at this. "I'm afraid they would actually be very disappointed. I would be a fool in their eyes. I lose our business, the only source of income, and slowly succumb to my debts. Mother would be the only one not screaming her full head off at my foolishness. I wish I could see them again, but I think occasionally they whisper to me. That is good enough." He said, looking around the shop. He'd wait for Shadow to get done simply by engaging in idle chatter.
