Subject: A visit.
Where: Dr Daniel Perkins home/surgery.
Who: Daphne Lovering
Warnings: none at the moment.
Open to: Daniel Perkins.


Daphne was let out of the public carriage she had bought a ticket to ride. Looking at the long path as the carriage rode away, she listened to the fading sound of the horses hooves as she walked up the drive towards the home of her close friend Dr. Daniel Perkins. The bottom of her dress already filthy around the hem from the mud she had to step through along the way, but it didn't matter. Daniel wouldn't care what she looked like, he would probably like it more is she was completely disheveled and he could take care of her. Thinking on that, Daphne smiled under her bonnet.

After a healthy sum of minutes of walking, finally the residence of Dr. Perkins was in sight. Of course, the entire time she made her way, she made sure she wasn't being watched or followed. That was the only bad thing about seeing her friend. He treated everyone. Of course, most of the people that Daphne interacted with wouldn't recognize her out of her disguises, so it wasn't that big of a deal. But still, she wasn't going to take any chances.

Finally reaching the steps, she lifted her dress slightly so she wouldn't trip as she made her way up them and stopped at the door. Straightening herself as much as she could, she knocked lightly on the door.

A slight pinkness rising to her cheeks, she looked at Daniel with kind eyes. He always wanted to take care of her, and either that was the Doctor in him, or something else was on his mind when it came to her. Perhaps it was a mixture of both. Either way, Daphne didn't know how to react to all this kindness. He really was the faint light at the end of a dark tunnel for her.

Squeezing his hand back gently, she sighed, rolling her eyes in a playful way at his fussiness. "I am fine, Daniel. I swear. I had a bit of a cold, but I think it's pretty much gone now. And I had a bit of a hard time coming up with the money for rent this past month, but I made it.. barely," she sighed, looking down at her wine glass. "But I am alive and well," she added, looking back at him with a kind smile.

"You had a hard time?" he repeated, a frown creasing his features as he looked at her. His fingers stroked her skin, but he was doing it almost subconsciously, as it were natural. "You should have told me, Daphne! I would have given you the money in a heartbeat, you know that! And do not say you would never ask me, for if I find out you are under such hardship again I will practically force the money on you. I have plenty of it, and I do not want to see it wasting when it could be spent on someting good."

She looked down, slipping her hand out of his. "I'm fine, Daniel. I made it. I have taken care of myself for quite some time now." She took a deep breath and looked back up at him. "I do not want your sympathy, you know that. I know that you hate to hear that, and I'm sorry." She moved her bonnet from the sofa beside her to the floor and patted the spot beside her, hinting for him to sit there. "Thank you though, for offering. I don't want to seem rude, especially for everything you do for me without ever asking for payment."

The fact that she would not accept his held in financial areas worried him greatly, and honestly annoyed him. He wanted to take care of her, that was what friends did, was it not? Still, she was right in some ways and he decided not to press it, moving instead to sit next to her. "At least - tell me you have somewhere good to stay. Tell me that you are eating, that you are not famished all the time."

Her eyes fluttered slightly as she tried to come up with a good answer that wouldn't have him completely worried over her. She would much rather see him smiling. "Well, I.." she bit her lip, knowing she couldn't lie to him, no matter how small and innocent it was. "No, I am not famished all the time. I have gone a couple days without something to eat, but I always find food. And not in the pathetic, diving into other people's trash or begging at back door sort of way." She took a deep breath and looked at him. "As for the place to stay, I don't have the money to live anywhere fancy."

Daniel took a silent breath, not breaking his gaze on her, before speaking. "That settles it. You are to stay here, and eat, and take some food back with you. You are to sleep comfortably and be warm. I will not have you wasting away in my home," he told her, very serious as Yvette brought in the platter full of various foods, placing it on the small table infront of them.

"Merci, Yvette," Daniel said quickly, not forgetting his manners, before again turned his attentions back to Daphne. "Take what you wish."

"Oh, Daniel.." she attempted to protest but it was no use. Truth was, she had no place to stay for the night, she didn't usually think that far ahead - she really needed to work on that. Smiling kindly at Yvette as a thank you, she eyed the platter, not realizing how hungry she was until that moment. It would have been rude of her to just grab everything and eat it all, though, so she simply took a cheese to nibble on first.

After swallowing, she smiled at Daniel, "Good cheese." She sipped more of her wine, "I don't want to put you out or anything."

Nothing pleased him more than seeing her happy and eating. He had no idea why she was not devouring the food but then he knew she was very well mannered. With a shake of his head Daniel answered. "You are not putting me out - I have plenty of rooms. They have not been occupied by patients either, so you can be assured they are clean and sterile and quite comfortable! I always assure guests of that..."

He wanted to hug her. He wanted to tell her to eat and just gorge hersel but he wanted to hug her too. Looking away so he kept his distance, he instead picked at the cheese too.

"If you insist," she agreed and continued to nibble and sip. When he looked away, she took that chance to eat as much of anything as she could so he wouldn't see her being a pig. She was sure though, he could hear her teeth grinding up all the food she has just stuffed in there. If she choked, then she choked. That was the good thing about being in a doctors house. She almost laughed at that thought, but knew she would choke if she did.

Daphne watched him intently, half because she didn't want him to see her being a pig - although she suspected it would bring him endless joy - but also because she knew he was trying to avoid looking at her.

Daniel gave a half smile when he realised she was being so eager with her meal and tried not to chuckle. It would do her no good to realise he was listening in, instead he concentrated on eating his own food and making a show of doing so delicately. She liked to tease him, and so he would tease her back.

When he felt her gaze on him his eyes flickered to her and he blinked. "Is the food alright?"

Knowing he was teasing her simply by the way he was eating, she decided to ignore it. She would get him back later.

Daphne's eyes widened and she smiled, her cheeks rounded out slightly like a chipmunks from the food still in her mouth. Lifting a hand to cover her lips, she nodded, chewing and swallowing as quickly as she could. Finally, her mouth was free and she lowered her hand, "Yes, very good. Thank you." Lifting her wine glass to her lips, she saw that it was nearly empty so she drained the contents.

He had to laugh as she attempted to remain ladylike, her mouth full of crumbs and her cheeks puffed out like a baby animal. Nodding, Daniel continued to chuckle after she had answered. "Good." He was tempted to sneak in a doctor's examination during their time together - one could not be too careful - so he began to stretch out on a new topic.

"How is your scar?"

Squinting her eyes at him in a playful manner because he was laughing at her, she decided to just smile and go along with it. She was probably a sight. Daphne licked her lips to rid herself of any food that may still be on her face. At the mention of her scar, she couldn't help but look at her leg. "Oh, it's fine. Itches a little, but scars do that from time to time, yes?"

"Yes, it shows they are still healing. They can for years..." he explained, hoping that he was not bringing up painful memories for her. "It healed well in the first few weeks, though, your skin is very good for that."

Her eyes rising from her thigh to his face, she never forgot what had happened that night. Luckily she had been in that area when it had happened and found his house. She remembered the good things about that night too. His gentle hands, his kind face and voice. He had taken care of her like no one ever had. She even remembered the blush on his face when he would have to check on her wound.

"Yes. You would know that," she teased, smiling sweetly at him. She wondered to herself if he would like her just as much if he really knew what she did, and all that had happened that night. Probably not, so she chose to keep it to herself.

Daniel was never one to judge, so it would not have mattered if she confessed all to him. Nothing oculd change his affection towards her and, though he had not admitted it and doubted he would ever have the courage to, he really did love her. Possibly not enough for her to fall head over heels for him, and possibly not of the "In" sense, he was not sure, but... he did love her all the same.

"I would," Daniel agreed, smiling. "And you are so much better since then."

"Well, I'm not limping anymore if that's what you mean." She smiled and popped a snack in her mouth, smirking all the while. It was really setting in that she loved being here, being around him. It was tempting to just give up her life as a Revolutionary and just go back home. But she had too much conviction to do that.

"Not just that," he told her, reaching over to grab one of the small cakes which he could no longer resist. It felt nice, like old times, to be sitting with her and conversing. He had missed it. "Your room is still the same, too."

Daphne smiled, but couldn't help look at him in curiousity. Her brows furrowed and her nose scrunched a little as she let out a small laugh. "Really? You didn't change it?" She rubbed his arm gently and then reached for a cake as well, smiling all the while. "That's sweet.. and a little strange, but sweet."
