    “now -- what’s this?” thomas asks over his cup of tea, taking note of the brooding assistant cook. “why the long face?” he and daisy have known each other for years and years... he may not have friends but daisy is perhaps the closest thing TO a friend. “what’s happened?” there’s a pause and some HUMOR in his tone. until he remembers that young man who’d come over before with vegetables from one of the farms --

He supposed he knew exactly howshe felt, but he didn’t say as much. It shouldn’t really have surprised him,for Mary to be this frank with him. Evelyn had always valued the authenticitythat their friendship had—there was a time that he had wanted to marry her, butit didn’t feel like that was the only reason she was interested in him. Even whenit became clear that his feelings for her weren’t mutual, that relationship hadendured. That was what led to his convalescing here at Downton instead of Middlesbrough.

He was silent for a moment,considering what she had told him. “I think your cousin is being a fool.” hedecided, taking a sip of his lemonade and not daring to gauge her reaction. Itwas the most candid thing he believed he ever said to her. It was also, herealized, hypocritical, given the fact that he had broken a very publicengagement three years ago. “Well, if things don’t work themselves out, wecould always have a go at it. A viscount isn’t an earl but it’s not too shabby, if I do say so myself.” he teased.

first of all i just wanna say thank you and so sorry that this took so long — turns out i had loads of assignments to do and these icons needed a bit more tlc than i expected. anyway, your icons are in the queue right now, hope you like them!!

Hi there~ I’m doing well and hope you are too:) I’m actually working on your request right now, hopefully it’ll be done within a week or so!

we’re making bunny cry in this chili’s tonight ; beep beep, how’s my portrayal?

Evelyn stirred the cup of tea, nodding silently at Mary’swords. He was well acquainted with the feeling. After Meredith had died, eventhe simple things had become difficult. It took him months to even leave thehouse. It was hard looking at Vicky for too long because she reminded him somuch of her mother. It was Olivia who had convinced him that he needed to livefor Vicky’s sake if not for his own. It had started with small things—visitingthe factories, talking with the agent, seeing Vicky for a couple of hoursbefore dinner—and eventually he had managed to find the motivation to reenterhis social circle. His heart broke for Mary when he learned that she was goingthrough the same thing.
