Desperate Times...
Subject: Desperate times call for desperate... visits
Who: Eward Mountford-Miles, aka Lord Slutty Pants
Where; Katherine's home, after breakfast with Lysander and Abby
Warnings: None. Yet.
Open to: Katherine Rochester

After breakfast that morning with the newly-reunited family Eward's day was not going well. He had been splattered with mud from a passing horse after leaving his house, causing him to return and re-dress, only to find Edith singing her elder brother's praises and throwing it directly in his face. It was the first time in many years that Eward had been desperate to get out of his house and after an hour of walking around London he found his feet leading him towards the Rochester home.

Once outside the building he could hardly turn back. Swallowing the fear and excitement which had sprung up in his gut he knocked on the door, despite Katherine's wishes to visit late in the evenings.

Katherine's morning had not been the best. First it had been breakfast with her mother; Miles had decided late the previous evening to go off for a few days with some of his friends to hunt, and Georgina had hardly refused, instead feigning delight at spending alone time with her daughter. But that, Katherine knew, was a lie. No sooner had she sat down to breakfast with her mother than Georgina herself had risen, prepared to go do a spot of shopping that would surely last the day. She told Katherine not to bother coming, code that Katherine had deduced meant that she was visiting one of her men.

Well good on her, then. Good on her leaving Katherine alone in the house when all she needed was a distraction. She had not been entirely calm since Lord Hurst's hunt, and for a number of reasons. There was the obvious subject of Eward, but Katherine managed to keep him from her thoughts most of the day. And there was Lysander, too, and she was feeling even more confused about him after he had visited. Eward quite obviously was unnerved by his return, as he ought to be, but what should she feel? How should she react?

As Katherine left the table, having sat there for a good hour after Georgina's departure, she heard the unmistakable sound of a knock at the door. She had already dismissed the maid and butler for the day - she had no need for them when she was by herself - and so attended to it herself. Unbolting the lock, Katherine pulled the door open, her eyes nearly burning with shock. She simply stood at the door, not sure what to make of the unexpected appearance of the man on her doorstep.

Eward looked at Katherine with a sheepish sort of stare, licking his lips which were suddenly dry. Her face said it all; she needn't say a word and to answer he shock he took off his hat and wringed it in his hands.

"I know you told me not to come..." he said quickly, almost apologetically, "but I had to escape my house, and I dared not visit anyone else. I needed to be where I could be..." myself "..at peace, of sorts. I do hope I am not intruding but if I am please say so." He hoped to God that he was not. The thought of walking all the way back to his home with his tail between his legs, hurt that she had dismissed was all he needed to push him over the edge.

	Eward's eyes as he looked to her practically said he just needed her but his mouth couldn't say it. With a gulp and yet another lick of his lips he managed to finally shake his head. "No. No I do not need anything. Thank you, though. I think I would just like a sit down..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
