⊰ ♥ ⊱; The young Midford daughter was mildly excited. Going on a hunting trip alone with her brother would have been a good experience. Although Edward saw it as a chance to try and steal her away from her beloved, like every chance he got. Lizzy was not dull or dumb witted and knew of his intentions, the lady had just decided to mask it behind a careless and naive mask, much like she had all her life.
Learning early in life that she was different from the other girls in this society she was not one to be messed with, as the scales were tipping in her favor. Positioned in her room and packing for the trip she was to take with him, mother thought it would be a good bonding experience for the children, but gave strict instructions to Edward to not let anything happen to the youngest daughter.
Completely in his care, that much Lizzy knew that she was safe, after finishing her packing a few of the servants came in and grabbed her bags and started to head towards the carriage to load them up. Emerald optics scanned around her room quickly to make sure she did not forget anything that was of any importance on this trip she was to take with him. It had seemed she gathered all the necessities as she exited her room and closed the door gently.
Her golden tresses were tied up, as her curls descended down her back, she had worn a hunting blazer as well as a matching tan skirt, with dual black and white shoes. The leather gloves matching her skirt, heading down the hallway was not much for the youngest lady of the house, before turning the corner and coming upon her older brother’s door.
Thinking mildly that she had might as well check on him before they were off on their hunting adventure, knocking gently on the door, before her hand descended down to grasp around the opposing wrist. “Edward…Edward…are you almost ready to go?” Asking with a sincere gesture, acting differently around her brother than she had with Ciel was one way she would not let her heart break.
Putting on the facade of cuteness and cheerfulness around Ciel was only to protect herself from him. Acting much more like a decent lady around her brother and with her parents. Although when Ciel was around she would have to put that mask on once more to be he wife he deserved. “Edward…are you decent…?” Asking once more before she went for the door handle and squeezed it before shifting it down and opening the door. Covering those emerald jewels upon entering, “I am sorry brother, but we are going to be late if you continue to doddle…”
If there was anything that came to the heir’s mind when it came on hunting with Elizabeth was concern. His sister was great, had more abilities than he could ever have on fencing, and Edward was perfectly aware of her strength. Yet, she was just a little girl – frail, in a way. He didn’t want her to risk falling off the thoroughbred, or having her to get attacked by a crazy deer or fox. The male has seen many, many odd, terrible and unfortunate things happening on hunting. People getting shot by stray bullets, horses breaking their legs, hunting dogs getting bitten by larger animals, people running out of food and the list went on. It was too dangerous for her to go.
Though on a way or another, the boy simply didn’t know how to refuse anything Elizabeth suggested or requested of him (except marriage), so he ended up agreeing on it even though he was deeply concerned on her well-being. Their mother seemed to be extremely supportive on the matter, what didn’t contribute much to Edward’s campaign of not letting her do such an unsafe thing.
Since it was no use at the given point, he decided to go with it and pack whatever he thought that was needed to keep Elizabeth’s well-being. A first aid kit was more than needed. He also took her a bulletproof vest that had recently been developed (he hoped that the thing worked), some literature for her to read while they weren’t hunting, some extra boots in case hers got dirty along with some other things. Since they were going to do this, they might as well do it well, and go prepared. As for himself, he was just bringing the clothes of his body, a sword, a couple of revolvers and extra bullets. She was way more important than him. Most of his bag was filled with things for the girl, after all.
“Come in, I’m just finishing putting a shirt on –.” Was she ready already? Looking forward to it, for all that it seemed. Way more anxious than him. Though he would enjoy, spending some quality time with her, no matter the activity. “Ok, we can go now. Are you sure you’re bringing everything you need?” If she is not, Edward already is doing her the favour. No point on trying to slow things down anymore, so why was he still trying? After all, it would better if they did this while there was still enough light for them to see. Oh, he was suffering from his concern already, an it hadn’t even started! It would have been much more delightful if his sister had decided to play something less dangerous like golf. Hopefully she wouldn’t see how worried towards her he felt, or it could ruin the mood.
