" why the long face , brother ? mother sent you to dance with yet another potential wife - to - be ? " brows quirked upwards in amusement, raising the almost empty glass of scotch to his lips . such movements , allowing a sly smirk to raise to his lips before patting his brother on the back . " fear not , for it is francesca who has her attention as this season's diamond , you should be safe in relation to the prospects of marriage. " @hcllishsins

" you know , it would take me precisely five seconds to inform mother of your lack of social grace , the joy that would bring me . " hands clasped together , watching his sibling closely with narrowed eyes. he knew they were not enjoying the social season , that much was clear , but he did not know what reason this was . he was not one for the social soiree , however , he knew he had to put on a brave face , for his mothers sake. " if you tell me why you avoid such , maybe i'll avoid telling her so quickly . . . " @socialseasons
