Attending parties on the invites Harry received was always an eye opener for Nell. He especially enjoyed the free alcohol, good stuff that made his throat burn and his eyes water. He had small glasses, like Harry said he should to keep up the deception and admired his reflection in windows and mirrors around the Hurst’s household. It wasn’t that he was terribly vain but more that he couldn’t quite believe the image that looked back at him.

Sergius had been trying to find the elusive creature for a good half hour now, and he had feared that the whore had already found a client to entertain. But he spotted the dressed-up little whore gazing like Narcissus into a mirror, and made his way over.

"You must be the charming Nell Abbot." He said with a smile, "Whom I have heard so many interesting things about?" The Russian added, looking over the boy. Too feminine for his tastes, but still, he could not let onto that fact. "I was hoping you and I could have a few private moments to ourselves."

	Nell glanced around the room, hoping the catch sight of Harry. The man had said to stick close to him and not wonder off but even now Nell could seem him over by the punch, wooing some young lady or other. "I think I could spare you a moment, yes." He said, frowning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you. I knew you were going to be an amicable young man from the moment I saw you." He said, offering Nell his hand, "We don't want to give the game away, do we, Miss Abbot?" He finished, gesturing away to a quieter corner of the room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nell's frown grew more pronounced then, but he kept his mouth shut until they were in the quieter part of the room. "I'd thank you to not refer to my as a young man this evening (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, of course. A simple slip of the tongue, Nell, a simple slip of the tongue." Sergius smiled, "But if I am to do that for you, Nell, you must do something for me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What?" The boy asked, watching him intently. He knew the man wasn't a client. He would have remembered someone like this but maybe he'd been directed this way by Lord Hurst. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sergius smiled. "It is but a simply thing, Miss Nell. I've been watching Lord Hurst look at you this evening. He's clearly very attracted to you. Perhaps he's made your acquiescence before?" He asked, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a beautiful, large, golden sovereign. "Do you know how much these are worth, Nell?" He asks, softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Once or twice.” Nell said candidly. In truth Lord Hurst had been a regular client when Nell had begun working, but he thrived on taboo circumstances and when Nell was no longer a child prostitute but simply a prostitute he had washed his hands clean of the boy, and paid only lip-service to the theatre, coming to shows because they were popular and a place to be seen in certian circles.

The boy shook his head. He had never seen a coin like the sort the strange man held out to him now.

	Demetri looked at Nell, thought it wasn't admonishment. He wasn't that much of a hypocrite. It was more that Nell was with HIM than anything. And Nell didn't look none to happy either, whether it was his interruption or not. "Are you alright? Um... I think it is time to get back to the dance. Don't you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
