Thread: Sightless [Sigr / Raina_Reader]

I would love to sing with you. She said cheerfully while adjusting and smoothing out Alexandra's dress after properly dressing her. Alexandra was such a sweetheart, watching her become so hopeful at the thought of learning something new, seeing her face light up at the prospect of something to look forward to. Her heart swelled for this girl and at this moment, all guilt and regret for taking this position and lying in order to get here had flittered away. You have beautiful rosy cheeks my dear. She reached up to fix her hair, while brushing her thumb against her cheek again, taking a moment to look into her hazy unresponsive eyes. I'm glad you're feeling better, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, we'll take it easy, get you settled outside and enjoy our tea, alright? Considering the state she saw the girl in earlier that day, this upbeat energy was nice, but she feared it would be shortlived, she certainly appeared to be dreadfully ill upon first impression and the implication fear that her health was on a decline made her fearful. She liked this girl, it wasn't just about living a wealthier lifestyle anymore, she genuinely wanted to make this girls life brighter. Martha? Evelyn peaked around the corner as she guided the girl down the hall slowly, careful not to overexert her. At first, there was no response but soon she saw Martha on the other side of a corridor holding a kettle. Something sweet for the lady as well please, and we'll take it out in the back garden. She tried to say as softly as possible after heeding Lady Alexandra's directions. Martha gave a light grunt before disappearing again which caused the guilt to resurface back within the pit of her stomach. She didn't exactly like the feeling of giving orders to this woman who likely served this family most of her life and was now forced to endure a silly stranger who had no idea what she was doing. Evelyn gave a light squeeze of Alexandra's shoulder as she guided her, laughing softly in response to her tummy rumbles. a small appetite is better than no appetite, it will be good to get something into you, to be honest I'm a bit hungry too, it's been a while. She hadn't eaten in two days, the whore house had refused to feed her once they learned she was leaving them for a better life, so she missed out on dinner the day prior. I look forward to when you can show me around your home, it's beautiful here, just like you. I'm honored to be here and serve you Lady Alexandra. They took their time stepping down the corridors, occasionally she would pause to give Alexandra a breather, afraid she'd over exhaust her even before they reached the garden. Finally they reached the windowed doors, which Eve pushed open with her left hand, while her right remained firmly around Alexandra's waist. It looks like Martha's already set the table for us. The table within the gardens was set with a steaming kettle and two beautifully designed tea cups, which left Evelyn almost in awe. Everything from their hallway decor to their dishes, screamed wealth. A floral scent of leaves and rose petals wafted from the steeping tea, Eve could tell it would compliment the sweet cakes sitting within the center of the table next to what appeared to be a platter of fruit. Evelyns eyes budged at the sight of the fruit which was unheard of for someone of her stature. She was quite fortunate that Alexandra was blind so as to not see her awe struck expression. Here we are, my dear. She said sweetly as she guided the girl into one of the cushioned chairs. Comfortable? Anything you need before I sit? Are you warm enough. Once Alexandra was comfortable, she began to pour the tea into each cup..
