Thread: Can I Keep Her? [nightsorceress & katon]

James had a lot of information he needed to take in and the invite of rest relaxed him so what. The day had not been long or strainius, though he had archived his ultimate goal and was now in the process of having a vampire accompany home where he could learn more about their kind. Laying on the bed James mind wondered and he closed his eyes to contemplate what secrets he may uncover. Lilys words whirled around his head as he tried to pick a point where he would start fro the next morning. Wondering if she needed to sleep or not James drifted off. Morning came and James jumped up immediately. It was light outside and a small amount of condensation was forming on each of the panes of glass. He had fallen asleep, rudely not even tending to his guest or offering her the bed. A feeling of embarrassment came over him and his less than gentlemanly way of looking after a lady. Abruptly climbing out of bed he noticed he still wore the same cloths from yesterday, what must this woman think about such a lazy inconsiderate man. A few apologies later and the pair left the tavern. James paid for the room and threw a few extra coins the owners way, his behaviour had not been just the evening before, though it was necessary. But extra coin always diminishes any level of animosity in the lower standings of men. The pair managed to acquire a carriage with relive easy, a well dressed man accompanying a woman enticed the sound of falling coins within a highwaymans head, and within moments one would always appear. Discussing the location and direction of their destination James duly paid the man and they set off, with his purse somewhat lighter James resided in the fact that it was money well invested as he had acquired something that money could never buy. Money wasnt an issue either to James, evidently so as the pair pulled up to a rather grand looking estate. The carriage pulled up a sweeping gravel path, a rather ornate house came into view. The building was a typical design for the time. Spanning two floors the house was of a symmetrical design. Windows on the ground floor were mirrored horizontally above. The whole building was of grey sandy stone and the window frames were in turn decoratively grey. Chimneys on the roof stood tall and the afternoon sun hit the house and forced the windows to reflect its rays back out. The grounds of the house were just as impressive, the lawns were well looked after and a woodlands sheltered the young mans land from preying eyes. The house looked to big for one man, it could of housed at least four families and there seemed there would still be adequate space. Pulling to a halt James immediately jumped out and let out a sigh, it was good to be back home, in the familiar and more aesthetically pleasing grounds of his house. Helping Lily down from the carriage James reminds him self to be a gentleman. It had been a few years since he had entertained a lady, and Lily is one of an important nature. Ushering her inside James was eager to get the young woman settled so that he may begin his work. A much nicer setting that that tavern wouldnt you say? A damn sight more private as well, please come inside. You must be famished, I know I am.
