“Indeed,” I said, chuckling and then sighing softly. “I think she’s too young for it, but there’s no deterring her. She says they are in love.”

"Well, love is a many-faced beast. Perhaps they are," I said with a shrug.

“I hope it’s actually love and not just infatuation. I don’t want her to be tied to someone she doesn’t truly love,” I replied.

"Aye," I replied, thinking on my own situation. "I know that fear."

“It must be going around,” I said, chuckling. “I feel the same way.”

"What's their name?" I asked with a smile.

“My cousin is Avive de Mauvais and she is engaged to Justin de Rocaille,” I told him.

"Sorry, from the way you said it, I thought you also might have been referring to yourself," I replied with a chuckle. "Mauvais and Rocaille... I'm afraid I haven't met anyone from either family. Except you of course."

I laughed deeply. “Oh, I was referring to myself before. I thought you were asking about my cousin,” I said, smiling. “For me it’s been a constant thing. I’ve always vowed I would never marry without love.”

"I never saw the point of marrying without love before I inherited the duchy," I agreed. "What's the point of spending the rest of your life with someone you don't love? There's a bit more pressure now though."

I nodded as he spoke. "I don't envy you the pressure. I hope you can find someone who fills both the need to be in love and the need to marry the right woman for your position," I told sincerely.

"Thank you. That is my sincere wish as well," I replied. "Tell me, have you had overbearing mothers hunt you down yet?"

Post by Alain de Mauvais (D) on Sept 28, 2009 18:20:44 GMT -5
“Oh no. I’ve not had any mothers hunt me down,” I said, chuckling. “Has this been a problem for you?”

“It used to be the farmer’s wives would present their daughters with the delicacy of an avalanche. Now the wives have just gotten upscale,” I said with a laugh. “I’ve learned to bring along female company to fêtes. It keeps most of them away.”

“You are a wise man,” I said, chuckling. “Any particular female you have join you?”

"I have seemed to develop a favourite while here in the City," I said with a chuckle. "I'm actually courting the young lady now."

"Oh, you probably have," I replied with another chuckle. "Phreya de la Courcel."

I couldn’t help it as my eyebrows went up a little. “That must certainly cause more than a few tongues to wag,” I said, chuckling.

"No doubt. But I've never been one to follow the rumours," I replied. "How about yourself?"

“I’ve been seeing a lot of Jessamine de Mornay of late,” I said, smiling. “She came out to the estate and spent time with me out there.”

I grinned. "That's a familiar name. Quinn is engaged to her sister," I said with a laugh.

"Indeed," I replied with a smile. "It's good to know that she has the attention of a decent man. I was joking with Quinn when I first arrived in the City that I would look her up, since he'd had such luck with Joie."

I laughed. “You might have had luck when you first arrived. Things have only become serious lately,” I said, smiling.

"Oh no, I wish you the best with her my friend. It would be greedy for me to want more than one at a time," I said with a grin.

“There are men that wouldn’t stop just because they might be thought greedy,” I said, grinning. “But it’s good to her that I won’t be having to battle with you over this.”

I chuckled and held out a hand, indicating he wouldn't see any fight from me. "No, right now I'm happy with the way things are."

I took his hand, still smiling. “Good, because so am I and a fight just seems unnecessarily messy.”

I laughed and shook his hand. "Agreed. Perhaps we might do something a little less antagonistic, like go hunting," I suggested.
