Subject: Lysander goes to call on Katherine.
Where: Katherine's humble abode.
Who: Lysander Mountford-Miles
Warnings: none.
Open to: Katherine Rochester

Lysander had not seen Katherine since she was a wee little thing, and surely news of his reappearance had gotten around to her by now. He had no other reason to visit her at the moment other than just wanting to reintroduce himself and honestly to see how they young, intellegent girl had turned out. He had always protected her against a young Eward picking on her. Whether it was over her flimsy frame or her outspoken mind. Honestly, he thought Eward had always had a crush on Katherine, which was the reason he picked on her so much, but that didn't make it okay.

Surely she would have no reason to hate Lysander, since he was the nice one. Knocking on the door, he removed his hat and smiled at the butler who answered. After apologizing for the late hour he said, "I am Lord Lysander Mountford-Miles," he threw in that Lord, since he soon would be again, "I'm here to call on Miss Rochester."

Katherine swallowed uncomfortably at Lysander's suggestions of his ideal life. It certainly sounded a direct contradiction to Eward's roguish tendencies, and Katherine could not place why that disturbed her so. "And I do hope you find that, Lysander," she concluded gently, touching his hand.

Rising along with Lysander, Katherine blushed and rolled her eyes. "Well, sir, you've caught me. It seems I'm not the little girl I was with charm as my weapon. I know now that it is fine liquor that gets jobs done much faster." Pausing, she added softly, "Really, you were no trouble at all. I do appreciate the company, and goodness knows I have missed you." Katherine quieted for a moment before taking him in another embrace, her heart divided on what to think about Lysander and Eward but pleased nonetheless at his survival.

Laughing quite wholeheartedly, he kissed her cheek lightly. "Yes, well, I have missed you. You are everything I hoped and thought you would turn out to be, dear Kitty. Beautiful, witty, and still intelligent. You will make someone a lucky man someday," he complimented and sighed as he stepped back. "Good night, love. I will see you soon I hope. You are always welcome at the estate." Bowing very formally, he smiled and made his way out of the door, through the foyer and outside to his waiting horse, hating to use the carriage so much.

Katherine, flattered and shocked at the same time, smiled at Lysander as he left, strange feelings in her chest. He had no idea the weight of his words. She was honored to have such flatteries spoken to her name, but if only Lysander knew about her and Eward...would he say the same? I could make Eward happy. Katherine blinked, almost ready to kill herself for thinking it. No. That was entirely ridiculous. She would make her fiance happy, and remain friends with Lysander while doing it. But Eward? She did love Lysander and was grateful for his return, but somehow he had unknowingly sparked more questions than he had answered.
