Early chapter since I'm travelling this weekend. ;)copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnkDwfTNY

" Well then, shall we get you dressed?" he says, unaware of my thoughts.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7K7ANqnJ

" Yes." I say, but sit on the bed & bury my head in my hands. Why must people always insert such awful things into my IEMP?copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGT076Ur3x

" None of that, now, come on, up we go!" He untangles my hands from my hair, hoists me up & into a stand making position.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqs5K5C0Yq

He leads me over to my wardrobe, dig-doing through my clothes, remind making me of the day my sister & I left our parent's house, & how she had rifled through my clothes much similar to the way Peregrin was currently.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLm6wtHkU4

He tossed me a light tan dress which I usually wore under other dresses, & turned expectantly.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ILXJS4Dk8

My eyes widened.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3yD9jJLjH

" That's it? What about the rest of my garments?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡcityp016lV

" We're only walk making around our gardens. Nobody other than a few palace servants should see us. Besides, you already have your poofy underthings on."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡapEWnoOr29

" But Hermes & his parents are coming later, I can-not go with them in this garb."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdc8RmsA7L

" We can return & you can change for the view making of that buffoon later, silly."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡij4MStMTz7

" If you say so."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKxuGUSvlU

I go behind the chang making curtain & am suddenly quite aware that Pippin is in the room. Why must my sister make me think of such things? I was perfectly fine with chang making behind the blinds until a few minutes ago.  copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV8S4Zewzm

" Peregrine!"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRFmExQqrq

" Yes, darling?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhb5LS0Eol

Darling?!copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3hHWlGaSg

" Who are you call making darling?! I am engaged to someone else! Button my dress."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa8cxMKodb

I step out from the blinds & turn around, hold making my curly hair up so he can button the dress.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLsZReSRSg

" & do not call me darling."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrku9gQPrI

" Oh? Last time I checked, he most definitely did not call you darling, & what's more, neither of you decided to be engaged, much less with each other."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YTeaq0VOd

Here we go with this discussion again. We have been having it exceedingly often as of late.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DZzDROvIG

" It is my duty to marry Hermes. perchance he does not call me darling, but, all the same, that should not mean that you can go about call making me darling. My darling sister did had a point, you had got to admit. What would happen if it the word got to Hermes's parents that I was "more than friends" with you? They already went through enough shame when they discovered my sister & I ran away from our parent's home. They had been gracious enough to not withdraw their offer of marriage."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW86qhnh7P

" Ara! Think! What is it that you get through such an arrangement? What is the good? What benefits you in the least? What good could possibly ever come out of your marrying him? You get nothing! Nothing at all!"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dNTsYjtU8

" I will live comfortably. His family is quite well off. Besides, who else could possibly lower themselves to the point of marrying a woman which has nothing at all to her name except a title. Duchess, indeed, but with not even a single bit to her name. Added to that, the disgrace of having run away from her parental home with her sister. Someone that has these unnatural changes to their body, part machine. Think about that Peregrine. Who could possibly want me?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0LGAoxoTg

He stays silent, but I can see his eyes burn-doing, the fire in his hazel eyes spark-making. I feel that if he says something in that moment, I will most definitely be burned, & yet another thing will change in how I view him. Yet another change will occur that cannot be undone. He opens his mouth to speak.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FcdMDvaVC

My breath making stops for a second, in apprehension.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VQOOiN7LH

Then, my IEMP makes an awfully loud growl making noise.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsI18ipGHj

He blinks, his lips close, & the flames clear. After another moment of silence, he speaks.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMZ90MMvXH

" Let us go & pack some breakfast." He says, completely changing the subject.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XCYLrgzz1

So much for creating all that suspense.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPtYQChgiZ

He comes, holds out his hand as a peace offer-making.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfMyoMlbii

I smile sweetly, scratch at & reach out my left hand, causing him to quickly switch h&s to accommodate. We shake hands, & I frown for a split-second.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqfwo1XEAx

Then it kicks in, my pointer finger releases a slight electric charge, & gives off a slight electric shock, causing Peregrine to jolt his hand, release doing mine. I grin, snicker-making at my success, & wait for his response.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQmaPcN7t5

Astound-makingly, he lifts his head, & smiles.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62lSBKEWWW

Mock smiles.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡePnumLvkq5

You had not seen a mock smile until you see Peregrine smile when he has been caught unaware & is plan-making revenge.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6WdhMq4TU

" I see you got your little Tesla switch to work, eh, darling?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZWwSxgwuc

I almost blow at his call making me darling, but just in time, I catch it & hide it. He was probably try making to get a reaction out of me, well, he shan't have it.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI2QcpCIJ2

" Yeah. I spent yesterday engineer making it. It could let out a larger shock if I needed it too. It looks pretty cool in the dark..."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB9KPrwgvq

" I see. Well, shall we go prepare our luncheon, darling?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGp6chEtO9

I struggled to keep my composure.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiSI958MNS

" Absolutely, we really should be go making if we are to return in time."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBtYmjqTzV

He comes over, loops his arm in mine, & starts skip-doing away, dragging me with him.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJCJQO1vhQ

So childish.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX8xGiCO4q
