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.

"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." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"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." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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." (Reply to this) (Parent)
