your headstrong ways [open]

Mar 04, 2011 08:46

Mattie has settled in at the Mansion--well, as best as she thinks she can. She's mostly content, even though Tom Chaney is still nagging at her in the back of her head. She can't help but think about him, really, and a part of her still wishes to pursue him ( Read more... )

The porch happens to be one of Adrian's favourite places at the Mansion. Used to? -- ah well; it's beginning to feel likewise, again.

"Quite a nice one you've got there, baby," he comments, lighting up a cigarette.

She looks up at him. "Do you like it? It was my father's."

"It's quite alright, yes - but aren't you a bit -- er -- fragile to handle it?"

gritted March 16 2011, 00:48:24 UTC

"--Fragile? I assure you, sir, I am anything but."

Gulp. Another tough girl. His life seems to be marked by them.

"I see. Good for you, really." He doesn't sound ironic, but really proud.

"Thank you. What is your name? I am Mattie Ross."

iwalkindreams March 20 2011, 16:18:22 UTC

"Hello, Mattie. I'm Adrian - Adrian Ivashkov." Also a prince, but it stopped mattering a long time ago. "What are you doing around here?"

gritted March 20 2011, 16:20:46 UTC

"I am stuck here for the time being, unfortunately," she replies.

"You don't seem too happy about this," Adrian notices, frowning at his cigarette, which seems to go off because of the wind.

gritted March 20 2011, 20:27:09 UTC

"I am not pleased, no. I am trying to come to terms with it, however."

iwalkindreams March 20 2011, 21:24:23 UTC

"I see. Well, we're all in the same boat, apparently." He eyes her wearily. "I wonder, where do you come from?"

gritted March 20 2011, 21:42:06 UTC

"Dardanelle, Arkansas," she replies crisply. "And you?"

iwalkindreams March 21 2011, 09:13:16 UTC

"Arkansas," he repeats, smiling. "That's sweet." At least they partially share a heritage. "I also come from America, but I was born and raised in Russia."

gritted March 21 2011, 22:49:08 UTC

Her eyes widen a bit. "That's very far away. I have never traveled beyond America."

iwalkindreams March 22 2011, 09:39:22 UTC

"I did. Quite a lot."

He isn't boasting; just stating things.

"Anytime you wish, I could tell you stories. There isn't too much for me to do around anyway."

gritted March 22 2011, 12:57:47 UTC

She nods. "That would be quite nice. I enjoy stories."
