Evening Stroll (open)

[Bronwyn93]

(Because we're all stuck at home for the foreseeable future, I know there are already several threads set between dt1 and dt2, but I'm gonna make one as well because... yeah!)

The evening crowd was still bustling while Angelina walked through the streets, enjoying the noise and life of the city. It was pleasant, not overly busy, but not barren either. Walking over to one of the remaining market stalls with little items on she leaned in to have a look. It was a simple evening, something that one could appreciate of late, after everything that had happened in the last several weeks. She was glad to feel normal again, even if it were just for one night.

[Meredith Llewelyn]

Meredith loved these kind of evenings, it was one of those where you could appreciate the stars and find yourself lost in the night sky. Luckily for her, the gas lamps kept her from loosing her way and she soon ended up at the market place. A favourite of hers for you never knew what kind of treasure could be found.

Speaking of treasures, Meredith believed she had spotted a familiar face gazing at some lovely trinkets, "Angelina? Is that you my dear?"

She was pretty sure it was her for no one else could dress so elegantly than that of a Toreador. After all Meredith had donned a beautiful red dress with white lining and knew that she looked quite splendid. So splendid that perhaps a companion to walk with would be quiet wise, you never did know what could happen when one walked alone.

[Bronwyn93]

Angelina looked up from a hair pin she had been admiring and turned to spot the fellow Toreador approaching and she smiled brightly. She nodded to the seller, stepping back and moving away to approach her friend.

"Merideth! How do you find yourself this evening?" She asked once she reached her. "It's lovely to see you."

[Meredith Llewelyn]

"It is you my Dear, well you are looking so much better than the last time I saw you." Meredith laughed slightly remembering the last time the two neonates met and how strange a night that had been.

"Oh I've been bearing up, there's still a lot to get used to in the city. Its rather beautiful but I find there is always something to mull over and that can take up quite a bit of time. So I thought to myself, let's go shopping. A new hat or ribbon is sure to clear my head." Meredith takes a better look at Angelina, taking in her dress, hair and general being. "You are doing well aren't you my dear? It upset me that I had to leave you in such a state the last time we met."

[Jean-Jacques]

Passing through the market, the pair look quite at home, The Lady Granville on the arm of Jean-Jacques, entirely in keeping with etiquette.

Jean-Jacques for his part is dressed as a gentleman, a fine coat covering his attire to make a show of warding off any evening chill that might surface as spring approaches.

So pleasant to actually pass some time in delightful company, doing.simple things, enjoying the simple pleasures of a casual stroll

They pass through the market, Jean-Jacques notices two familiar faces and turns to Grace, careful with his word should they carry amongst the kine

“Lady Granville, I notice two acquaintances just yonder, are you minded to hail them?”

[Lady Grace]

Grace holds the side of the hood of her generous cloak as she turns to look. Keeping her face in shadow was second nature.
"Yes Jacques, we can talk for a little while I think. Please do,"

[Bronwyn93]

Angelina gave a slightly uncertain laugh at the mention of her well being. She had to think to pinpoint when exactly she had lost sight of Meredith it the manor. It was before things had taken all the turns they had. Yes, she remembered now.

"Thank you, I do feel more settled than I was that evening." She agreed, looking around as she spoke of the city.

"It can be somewhat overwhelming at times, I felt the same way, a new trinket of some form or another can often help one feel a little more at ease." She smiled, glancing back at the hair pin she had been considering. The question drew her attention back and she hesitated, finding her words carefully.

"I am well, there was a period I was concerned but I believe I am safe from that situation now." She smiled, relaxing again. "It was good that you were able to leave when you did, those who lingered later in the night were unable to leave for a time."

[Jean-Jacques]

Jean-Jacques nods and guides Grace through the evening market patrons towards where he spotted Meredith and Angelina, judging a suitable moment to approach.

“ladies, what a fine co-incidence , Lady Granvile and I were strolling and considered the market an excellent diversion for the evening, what a delightful pleasure to make your acquaintances “

He bows to each in turn, smiling broadly with genuine delight.

[Meredith Llewelyn]

Meredith smiles at the two in a warm greeting. It seems that tonight the gas lights new exactly what she needed. After all this was her first time living alone and some company was just was the ...doctor?...prescribed.

"Jean-Jacques! What a pleasure it is to see you this fine evening and Lady Granvile, we are honoured that you would come and say hello to us. How do you both do this evening?' Meredith looks around at the market place clearly delighted by the music of humanity. "Isn't the market just wondrous! I could easily find myself taking home many beautiful trinkets."

[Lady Grace]

Grace smiles to both Angelina and Meredith.
"Neonate Fontaine," a slight nod of greeting, "and Neonate Llewelyn, wasn't it?" Grace inclines her head in greeting again.

"'It is lovely to see two independant young ladies of the Rose out in the world. It's such a beautiful night."

"Has anything yet caught your eye to purchase?"
