I spent most of my time in the City at my town house, but I was getting bored so I decided to venture out.
It was the Artisan's district that I tended to go to when bored so I began to walk and found a beloved store.
"Gggood morning." I said greating the shoppe keep, he recognized me and bowed with a smile.
"My lord Duc, good to see you again. You're looking well." He said as I began to look over the books.
"I am wwwell, ttthank you ffor asking." He nodded and I turned to look at the rows of books.

I had ventured to Armand's after class, looking for an author my professor had mentioned. Normally I would have borrowed from the library, but I liked to make notes in the margin when I was truly studying something, and it was easier if I simply owned the text. I had been perusing the aisles when the bell sounded and I glanced up to see an absolute stud wander in. He spoke with the man behind the counter and then turned to look at the books. I smiled, looking back down at the text in my hands.

I began to walk through the aisle's noticing a young woman as I did. I nodded to her with a smile as I picked up a book and began to read the first few sentences to see if I liked the book.

He nodded to me politely and I smiled again, noticing the title of the book he picked up. "It's a bit stuffy at the beginning, but if you can make it through the first chapter, it's an excellent read," I told him, trying to keep my smile friendly and not seducing. At least to start off with.

I turned to the woman that had spoken to me and smiled. She was pretty, indeed. I just hoped I didn't scare her away the moment I spoke. It happened more often then I'd like to be honest. "Yes," I managed to get out without stuttering. "Ssso I've heard." Not bad, only a little bit of stuttering.

"Course, then I read one of his other books, and it was the exact opposite," I replied, still smiling. "It started out wonderfully, and then sank worse than a scow boat in deep waters."

He stumbled over his words, almost like he was nervous. It gave me hope that perhaps this could be something.
"I've been here a few times," I replied, loving his smile. "But I'm more often found in the library up at the palace, or over at the Academy."

"D'Angeline literature and everything piano-forte," I replied, my smile just a little proudly. He had acted surprised after all.

"How wwwonderful." I said smiling widely. "I've ttthought about gggoing to the academy." I chuckled a little and put the book I held back before turning to her a little more. "Ttthough I'm nnot sure what I'd ttake."

"There's room in the classes right now. You should come by the Academy, meet some of the professors," I replied, my smile turning just a touch coy. I knew I would certainly enjoy having this heartthrob across the classroom.

"But you do read D'Angeline literature," I replied with a laugh, pointing to the book in his hand. He didn't seem to mind my flirting, but was still very nervous, if his stutter was any indication. He must have been very good at working through his nerves, if he was so anxious and still able to tease me. "And they offer many other classes as well."

"Ddo they?" I smiled. "What ssort of class ddo you tthink I'd like?" She didn't seem to care about my stutter so I smiled more widely, invitingly even.

"Well I don't know you nearly well enough to make a decent suggestion," I replied with a teasing smile. If he didn't mind my flirting, I was going to continue. "I don't even know your name."

I chuckled. "Forgive me." I said stepping back and making a bow. "Ddduc Blaise dde Callébeau." I rose slowly and grinned at her, my hand reaching out and taking her hand, I kissed the top of her hand and released it.

"It is a pleasure your grace," I replied with a smile, my voice just a touch more intimate. I curtsied as he kissed the back of my hand, not breaking eye contact. How had I managed to happen upon such a good looking man, and a duc to boot? It must have been a lucky day. "I am Lady Fiona d'Anwar."

I chuckled and shook my head. "No." I said worrying my lower lip a little as I looked to the books and the back to her. "Tthough I wwwish I could ssay yes." I chuckled again. "I have a ss....ss...ssstutter." I shrugged and picked up another book, looking at it for a moment and flipping through the pages for a moment before putting it back on the shelf.

"Well, so much for my high opinion of myself," I replied with a wry grin. "I always found our language cruel in that respect. Why call it 'stutter' when those inflicted with it can't say it? It's the same for 'lisp'." I flipped my hand out in a gesture that indicated that I clearly didn't understand the logic.

I chuckled and leaned against the stack of books. "Indeed." I said smiling at her and then shrugged a little. "Wwhere are yyou from, Fffiona." I wasn't one to speak about my imprediment, it was nothing I had long since pondered on and I was keener on making a friend then discussing it.

"Azzalle," I replied with a smile. If he didn't want to talk about it, that was fine. At least the moment hadn't been a complete disaster.

"East of the Seine, though not so far away that we couldn't visit the river for a few days when we could," I replied with a smile. "My family has an oak plantation."

"Is that what gives you the blond hair and devilishly blue eyes then?" I replied with a flirtatious smile.
