Regency Roleplay discussion

Pavilion

Royce Collins is sitting at the bech inside the extravagant Gazebo of the Richmond Park. He looked up at the Setting sun and smiled at it.

"Lady Erin?" called a worried-looking maid as she survey the gazebo. And when she saw Royce, she scurried away still calling for her miss.

After a few minutes, Catherine peeked behind the rose bushes that were planted around the gazebo, "That was close." she said to herself as she entered the gazebo an taking off the rose petals that were caught in her hair.

Royce looked up at the maid who rushed far away. He sighed. He hated when people scurried away from him but he knows it's for the best. He stood up and stretched his muscles. He heard a shuffling behind him and saw a lady pulling away roses petals from her hair.

Catherine took the last petal off her hair, and when she looked around, she saw someone at the gazebo. She tried to act like she didn't just went out of the bush.

Royce shook his head and smiled. She looked like the same age as his sister. He chuckled. His sister is a handful.

She blushed, "I got caught huh?" she smiled awkwardly at him, "You're my accomplice now. I'm Erin." she even curtsy, "Nice to meet you."

"Hi Erin, I'm Royce" he said. Bowing to her. He smiled at her blush and said, "What brings you alone here?"

She grinned, "Hiding." she answered honestly. "Its an every day sport for me and my chaperon. And you?"

"Hiding too, I guess" he said. He was really, From those meddling mothers who wants their gals to be married to a Earl.

She laughed at that, "And were you successful?" she asked. She survey him from head to toe, guessing he was a peer. 'Maybe he's a viscount?', she thought, 'Or an earl.'

"yes, until now" he said. Smiling at her.

"That's good." she smiled back, "Well," she saw that it was getting dark, "I better be going, since its almost dark. I'll see you around, Royce."

"Wait" he said. he walked beside her and said, "Would it be ahardship if I accompany you back to your chaperon? Like you have said, it's almost dark"

"Its fine. I' used to it." she said but he was already walking beside her, "I guess, I should just thank you." she grinned in defeat, "I just live at Primrose Hill, so its a bit near. Where do you leave?" and then stop, "Oh dear, forget I ask that. Sometimes I just ask stupid random questions."

He chuckled. She looks adorable when she rambled. He suddenly shook his head to chase away the thought. "I live in Old PArk Lane" He said. They're walking down in a empty path.

Nodding her head, they continue to walk and she can't help but ask, "You can either be an earl, a viscount or a baron. Which one are you?" she asked seriously.

He looed at her, "what can you possibly achive if I answered your question?" HE asked her.

"Just making conversation. Its a bit awkward just walking like this." she explained and then said after a few minutes, "You know, this should be fine. We just know each other's name."

He chuckled and smiled at her, "I'm a Earl"

Catherine winced at that, "I knew it." she said and sighed, "Well then, its best if you don't walk me to my home now."

"Why?" He asked her. "Don't you want my company?" he sounds needy and he hated it. It's been a long time since he walked with a lady other than his sister.

"If my mother sees you, I won't hear the end of it." she said honestly, "And she learns you're an Earl. That gets worst." she added and rolled her eyes, "But I guess until you can still walk me to our place but I can't invite you inside, even if that sound really rude."

He smiled at her consideration. "For your company, I can handle your mother, won't that give her something o think about other than you?"

Catherine sighed dramatically, "Oh dear, we're asking for trouble." she said more to herself but smirked, "Well that would be more fun I had this week. Fine. Let's give my mother something to talk about. I just hope you don't mind ending up in the front page of the rumors newspaper."

"I wouldn't mind, as long as your name is right next to mine" He said. "Won't you like that?" He stopped and looked at her. 'What's your whole name by he way?"

She laughed, taking it a joke, "Of course then. My name beside yours would great." she turned to him and still walked, "Catherine Castle. And your name?"

"Royce Collins" He said. He stared walking again. "You have a very pretty name" Complimenting her.

She blinked, that was the first time some complemented her name because usually people will know that she was the Marquis of Riverdale's younger sister. She smiled as she walked again with him, "Thank you. Though Royce Collins..." she thought of it for a second, "Your name sounds really familiar."

"It seems so" He said. She knew he's an Earl it won't be long for her to connect the dots. "Yours too is familiar" He thought about it. 'Castle' very fitting name for a upper class family.

She clasped her hands behind her as they walked, "Hmmm... I think my mother might have mentioned it. She's really into gossips and who's who. It drives me and my brother crazy. You probably know my brother, Conner Castle, marquis of Riverdale."

'Ah, Connor." Recognition dawn at him. "So he's your brother. I'm the Earl of Devon' He said to her.

She smiled nodding, "Yes, you're right. So you've meet?" she asked and then bumped into someone's hard chest, "Oomph.." she looked up, "Sorry, I wasn't looking at where I'm goin-" she stopped surprised when she saw that Conner was standing in front of her.

"Yes. We've met." Conner answered for Royce. He was glaring at Catherine, "Where have you been?" he asked angrily and then turned to Royce with a pokerface, "Good evening, Collins."

"Castle" He nodded at him. His face void of emotion. "i was just escorting your sister out of the park" He said.

"Yes. I can see that." Conner said looking at Catherine at the corner of his eyes and then back at Royce, "Hope she didn't give a headache she clearly is fond of giving me."

Catherine rolled her eyes, "We were just on our way back home. Royce was a gentleman." she said glaring at her older brother.

Royce kept his smile down. Afraid of offending any one. "Well, I had a lovely time with Lady Catherine"

"See?" she put her hands on her waist, "I'm perfectly alright."

"I'll be the judge of that." Conner grumbled and motioned them to walk first before he would follow. He was with Marcus awhile ago but he can't find him now too.

Royce nodded at Conner and walked forward with Lady Catherine.

Catherine sighed and whispered to Royce, "Sorry about this." she apologized, "I'm dreadfully sorry and that was true, I love giving him headaches cause he's so strict sometimes. It pains him that he has a younger sister."

Royce smiled ta her, "It's okay, I have a little sister too. Well, not so little, just like you."

"Oh. I hope she isn't as hard headed as me." she teased with a smile which earned a loud and exaggerated cough from Conner. "And what's her name?"

"her Name is Annalisse, She likes to read and go out with out a chaperon" He said with a smile

"Practically like Catherine." Conner commented behind them.

"I'll ask her to visit the bookshop with me one of these days." she offered to Royce and rolled her eyes at her brother, "I go out with a chaperon. Its just that they get lost and I can't find them." she defended herself.

Royce looked st Connor and grinned. He looked back at Catherine and smiled. "Thank you, She needs more interaction from humans than books."

"She might just needs more friends. I'll also take my friend Judith with me when I go visit your sister." she said smiling.

Conner grumbled an incoherent words that vaguely sounded like 'Not a good idea.'

"Judith is Conner's fiancee. Or he thinks she is." Catherine said to Royce.

Royce looked at Connor and smiled. "Goos Luck with that" He said kindly. "I look forward to your visit then with your friend"

Conner grumbled a 'Thank you' knowing he needs it with Judith.

Catherine smiled, "As soon as possible, I'll come and visit your sister." and then added, "And you too of course."

((wanna change threads?))

((Sure, Where?))

Royce smiled and nodded, "We'd Love that" He said and continued walking.

((My charrie's place. :D))

Conner didn't like the idea that his sister is going to visit Royce even if the main reason is to really visit his sister, "I'll be coming as well if you went to visit, Erin." he said, or more like ordered.

Catherine turned to her brother, "What for? I'll be bringing Judith and I won't be alone." then looked at Royce, "Tell him that I'll be perfectly fine visiting with just Judith with me, Royce"

Royce smiled and said, "Yes, She will" He nodded at her and added, "She managed to get away from her chaperon"
