Early chapter since I'm travelling this weekend. ;)copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ09r2OJbjW
" Well then, shall we get you dressed?" he says, unaware of my thoughts.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiSBsdvzBl
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTPPIxTYfT
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfUkHW8q7s
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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4LeFdrbM3
He tossed me a light tan dress which I usually wore under other dresses, & turned expectantly.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXWmNFTGD9
My eyes widened.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPou95qhvx
" That's it? What about the rest of my garments?"copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRCv6hIxsv
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZtymgdgXR
" But Hermes & his parents are coming later, I can-not go with them in this garb."copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxGO1QTr7p
" We can return & you can change for the view making of that buffoon later, silly."copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRgBnmT5Um
" If you say so."copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwl44IkhZi
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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pPQdQG7hN
" Peregrine!"copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgFNS2aL84
" Yes, darling?"copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KAtOEb9Wb
Darling?!copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6AgWO7CVp
" Who are you call making darling?! I am engaged to someone else! Button my dress."copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrG6ey8ojh
I step out from the blinds & turn around, hold making my curly hair up so he can button the dress.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq14TQJ5ZG
" & do not call me darling."copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrMRIJGPlB
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM3VSiu1HN
Here we go with this discussion again. We have been having it exceedingly often as of late.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡibekg8aZea
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvBtmjc29x
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokIkc0OdI
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwTQR9Z19d
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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPINi57u8h
My breath making stops for a second, in apprehension.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MGmu0zvPM
Then, my IEMP makes an awfully loud growl making noise.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrj6iaghcp
He blinks, his lips close, & the flames clear. After another moment of silence, he speaks.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡvofdcyik2q
" Let us go & pack some breakfast." He says, completely changing the subject.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5disHj1d8
So much for creating all that suspense.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqA7xTiNav
He comes, holds out his hand as a peace offer-making.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFTsT60cq3
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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡC29QkByDCL
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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrbmyIgRvq
Astound-makingly, he lifts his head, & smiles.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ6gb0mccN
Mock smiles.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPPoFa0eOC
You had not seen a mock smile until you see Peregrine smile when he has been caught unaware & is plan-making revenge.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA4aXCTdup
" I see you got your little Tesla switch to work, eh, darling?"copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8L7jLtvY
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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLO6auhaI5
" 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 protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHFRSDuLQY
" I see. Well, shall we go prepare our luncheon, darling?"copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPigWC2q8
I struggled to keep my composure.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HUOO4i5f1
" Absolutely, we really should be go making if we are to return in time."copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2IQUAtolk
He comes over, loops his arm in mine, & starts skip-doing away, dragging me with him.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPcP59r8z
So childish.copyright protection100ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8huX5ygaN
