Early chapter since I'm travelling this weekend. ;)copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHipPaoY7D
" Well then, shall we get you dressed?" he says, unaware of my thoughts.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk6QtxZ1vH
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ66BDYfRel
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D2p3RAsQH
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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L2bCwJCxf
He tossed me a light tan dress which I usually wore under other dresses, & turned expectantly.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxmq8ZooRC
My eyes widened.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZgLpkDZNt
" That's it? What about the rest of my garments?"copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfJ4SgOuO
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OlpftpDRh
" But Hermes & his parents are coming later, I can-not go with them in this garb."copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBgxnFS0EF
" We can return & you can change for the view making of that buffoon later, silly."copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡumyK5CCmq7
" If you say so."copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡauVwTa0jOR
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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5sQCPwuQb
" Peregrine!"copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡakxI4DkHZL
" Yes, darling?"copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡOafKG9VGsJ
Darling?!copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3P1UrRqWH
" Who are you call making darling?! I am engaged to someone else! Button my dress."copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡB628P7L9OL
I step out from the blinds & turn around, hold making my curly hair up so he can button the dress.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDWbnDlijN
" & do not call me darling."copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SRRTLjLbf
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNmuWbBIlq
Here we go with this discussion again. We have been having it exceedingly often as of late.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡth3psr3NJn
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMftD9eWUq
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡcndzRaLtS7
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmoXMRpPE8
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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgUrJyBYuv
My breath making stops for a second, in apprehension.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHTCgLM2fF
Then, my IEMP makes an awfully loud growl making noise.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ991x7NowC3
He blinks, his lips close, & the flames clear. After another moment of silence, he speaks.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOkAf48R2D
" Let us go & pack some breakfast." He says, completely changing the subject.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrkg4B1QDg
So much for creating all that suspense.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNpwkxkJ3W
He comes, holds out his hand as a peace offer-making.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIK7i0brRe
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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eFpvJ1wAF
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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6scDMKXwN
Astound-makingly, he lifts his head, & smiles.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjwErPECgw
Mock smiles.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlLxLggMNR
You had not seen a mock smile until you see Peregrine smile when he has been caught unaware & is plan-making revenge.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXTNBGxyd
" I see you got your little Tesla switch to work, eh, darling?"copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswS6XHLAY
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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡisk4Z5lgR8
" 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 protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iJ5cxHT5f
" I see. Well, shall we go prepare our luncheon, darling?"copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qICiPA0Ab
I struggled to keep my composure.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTDjXCojTg
" Absolutely, we really should be go making if we are to return in time."copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1zb6LINFN
He comes over, loops his arm in mine, & starts skip-doing away, dragging me with him.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LeLoxAZyb
So childish.copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡax5OQ2rfmk
