Early chapter since I'm travelling this weekend. ;)copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeDZ6z81m4
" Well then, shall we get you dressed?" he says, unaware of my thoughts.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2SV2ckyi
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GmWANRDDk
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡThywhE6pGs
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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡu79xZ5Acp8
He tossed me a light tan dress which I usually wore under other dresses, & turned expectantly.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡusPRppEh2h
My eyes widened.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWzatQPzgv
" That's it? What about the rest of my garments?"copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LCciChTOH
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jaRazhORk
" But Hermes & his parents are coming later, I can-not go with them in this garb."copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6shGDKwskN
" We can return & you can change for the view making of that buffoon later, silly."copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmyAyRcQK0
" If you say so."copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMjHEuhWj8
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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpBy5ejCHE
" Peregrine!"copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF0YfzQrpB
" Yes, darling?"copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWoME2gVZA
Darling?!copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gZFP5U8IB
" Who are you call making darling?! I am engaged to someone else! Button my dress."copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8gN7wmXXM
I step out from the blinds & turn around, hold making my curly hair up so he can button the dress.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqJWdnZuiY
" & do not call me darling."copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4me3149VcR
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZZNM6j94h
Here we go with this discussion again. We have been having it exceedingly often as of late.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDIFzV2zpl
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIMxKQHG3
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd2y1PFlZK
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVnlBWgEwG
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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03aIQHsGp9
My breath making stops for a second, in apprehension.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYmMxoCdJC
Then, my IEMP makes an awfully loud growl making noise.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmykI9hZNN
He blinks, his lips close, & the flames clear. After another moment of silence, he speaks.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNRPwHxZoW
" Let us go & pack some breakfast." He says, completely changing the subject.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88VvVsTxFD
So much for creating all that suspense.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCZIXISeHF
He comes, holds out his hand as a peace offer-making.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ntTcZBKZZ
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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡH77CC25vAK
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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lm8tjQlyy
Astound-makingly, he lifts his head, & smiles.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BVvu8v5Su
Mock smiles.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ABcdefiKQ
You had not seen a mock smile until you see Peregrine smile when he has been caught unaware & is plan-making revenge.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TBp15JSrh
" I see you got your little Tesla switch to work, eh, darling?"copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtTlYntutm
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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyWALaP1sz
" 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 protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡRustUuzDm0
" I see. Well, shall we go prepare our luncheon, darling?"copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNuO8scCXF
I struggled to keep my composure.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVeVw05l1x
" Absolutely, we really should be go making if we are to return in time."copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT2nnWSWAe
He comes over, loops his arm in mine, & starts skip-doing away, dragging me with him.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv2rkaUwNR
So childish.copyright protection109ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLNrGjrMFt
