144th Devotion: Carrying On

[favoritetraitor]

[Action/Video]
[Heedless of the influx of visitors, a lone Chevalier can be found out wandering amongst the lush surroundings of some lush garden. His hand emerges from the pocket of the untied bathrobe that hangs about his form and he reaches out to distractedly touch a lone flower.]


[ooc: It hasn't been a kind few months for Solomon. A victim of a spell, loss of self and madness as well as Saya's departure has left him a bit of shell of the man he once was... but, at least he can finally be seen outside and away from the estate that's been his self-imposed tomb.]

Comments

[favoritetraitor]

There's no need to apologize when the company is as lovely as you are.

[He makes a courtious bow, the kind that was expected of a gentleman during his time.]

Allow me to introduce myself... I'm Solomon Goldsmith.

[havenoequal]

[She wouldn't find the bow out of place, gentlemen still do in her time. Geneviève might not be, but the Victorian era is still rather proper. Still she does manage a curtsy in return.]

Geneviève Dieudonné. It's a pleasure Mr. Goldsmith.

[favoritetraitor]

The pleasure is all mine... [It's what's supposed to be said, even if he has diffuculty in finding pleasure in anything anymore.]

And how have you found our City, such as it is...?

[havenoequal]

[The truth is obvious to those who know what to look for, but she'd never call him a liar, to his face.]

It's...cleaner than home. The population appears more diverse as well.

[favoritetraitor]

Diverse... yes. That's true. And how does your home compare? Or have you not heard of the downside of this makeshift Hell?

[havenoequal]

Home...I live in England for the moment.

All places have a downside, do they not? Most are in fear of a silver bladed killer at home.

[favoritetraitor]

Most... and what about yourself, mademoiselle. Do you fear this killer as well?

[havenoequal]

Despite my appearance, I am quite capable of taking care of myself. I fear more for the ones he hunts. The weak and newly turned.

[favoritetraitor]

Newly turned?

[havenoequal]

It's all the rage to become a vampire ever since the Queen took on Tepes as her consort.

[favoritetraitor]

How... interesting.

And this is widely accepted? Surely there are repercussions.

[havenoequal]

Not at all. There's actually a movement pushing for all the aristocracy to join. The main down fall is the instability of his bloodline.

I've met one of his here surprisingly.

[favoritetraitor]

Oh? And who might that be?

[havenoequal]

One of his brides. Marishka.

[favoritetraitor]

[He pauses, momentarily destracted.] Marishka...

And what did you think of her?

[havenoequal]

She said there was family, but not the same as at home. In either case, she's...very lucky to have someone who cares for her here.

[favoritetraitor]

[He gives a slight nod of acknowledgement in response.]

She does seem happier, having a variety of people she can interact with...

[havenoequal]

And are you happier here?

[favoritetraitor]

... I used to be. Now, I think I'd rather go back.
