Coming Home
Subject: Rupert comes back to London after a few years away. Who: Rupert Aveline Where: Along the Thames Warnings: none as of yet Open to: anyone, old friends for reunions, new friends or enemies etc, its all good.
After years away in India, he'd come back home. He had some meetings to go to later, a dinner with a foreign ambassador in the evening but for now, the time was all his to do with as he pleased. He hadn't bothered to change from his travel clothes, they were comfortable. He could be a proper Englishman in a while.
Despite traveling on the water, traveling to the coast when he was in India, there was nothing like the water here. But it wasn't just the water. It was the buildings, the churches, the bridges, the people, just everything. He had grown to love India immensely but coming home was just.... coming home.
His parents and sister were in Bath still but were expected home within the month. His brother was in Calais on some business and wasn't expected back for a while as well. Rupert couldn't wait to see them; he'd been a boy when he left, a clerk in the business, and now he was a young man, successful and the personal assistant to one of the most influential men in the Company. London didn't seem to have changed all that much, but if felt like he had.
