Early chapter since I'm travelling this weekend. ;)copyright protection283PENANAmkrF2dK7ny
" Well then, shall we get you dressed?" he says, unaware of my thoughts.copyright protection283PENANA1yQslliuKk
" 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 protection283PENANAMrZHHUhrcn
" 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 protection283PENANADMS2YvYdcj
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 protection283PENANAevNyKS7QkL
He tossed me a light tan dress which I usually wore under other dresses, & turned expectantly.copyright protection283PENANAJsmcZiOtAF
My eyes widened.copyright protection283PENANAqDiInyZEqq
" That's it? What about the rest of my garments?"copyright protection283PENANAqBJQYmFL7Y
" 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 protection283PENANAgsNDasPlxY
" But Hermes & his parents are coming later, I can-not go with them in this garb."copyright protection283PENANAfce0HiGpfl
" We can return & you can change for the view making of that buffoon later, silly."copyright protection283PENANAC1ZSxiJjM1
" If you say so."copyright protection283PENANALN80YWFWjI
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 protection283PENANAwrI3iniqHf
" Peregrine!"copyright protection283PENANA923ZdbUMLE
" Yes, darling?"copyright protection283PENANAFYSptqm9tq
Darling?!copyright protection283PENANAIopE0WxKWZ
" Who are you call making darling?! I am engaged to someone else! Button my dress."copyright protection283PENANAoxfQOlHqCR
I step out from the blinds & turn around, hold making my curly hair up so he can button the dress.copyright protection283PENANA9i8JUJBP1L
" & do not call me darling."copyright protection283PENANA8DkSBRw0e4
" 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 protection283PENANAlVgk8vLnoT
Here we go with this discussion again. We have been having it exceedingly often as of late.copyright protection283PENANAsXSlQUTdgK
" 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 protection283PENANAa3ld0OtNFx
" 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 protection283PENANA7jwtjbXXZt
" 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 protection283PENANAJVd2lqm0G5
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 protection283PENANAlOVJo1pXJ2
My breath making stops for a second, in apprehension.copyright protection283PENANAZ4ucVX2lW2
Then, my IEMP makes an awfully loud growl making noise.copyright protection283PENANAw4p5mjpQVf
He blinks, his lips close, & the flames clear. After another moment of silence, he speaks.copyright protection283PENANAlhbFHTA1PQ
" Let us go & pack some breakfast." He says, completely changing the subject.copyright protection283PENANAnQdLp1c56B
So much for creating all that suspense.copyright protection283PENANAbY430jLQ9J
He comes, holds out his hand as a peace offer-making.copyright protection283PENANA0g73cuUutf
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 protection283PENANAtQS6OZksPC
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 protection283PENANAx2LLY29bUA
Astound-makingly, he lifts his head, & smiles.copyright protection283PENANAS32QcZkUWh
Mock smiles.copyright protection283PENANAchi6UTYedi
You had not seen a mock smile until you see Peregrine smile when he has been caught unaware & is plan-making revenge.copyright protection283PENANAwecV8BofNF
" I see you got your little Tesla switch to work, eh, darling?"copyright protection283PENANAVK2hm5Ex1b
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 protection283PENANAnplYI2heyT
" 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 protection283PENANAgF0QvZ3XMM
" I see. Well, shall we go prepare our luncheon, darling?"copyright protection283PENANAAm9iIn9hhI
I struggled to keep my composure.copyright protection283PENANAJzZgiNUvOi
" Absolutely, we really should be go making if we are to return in time."copyright protection283PENANAPoVw1D49aV
He comes over, loops his arm in mine, & starts skip-doing away, dragging me with him.copyright protection283PENANANLQOBJp8OO
So childish.copyright protection283PENANAnQFhJnnPnq
