Drabble for unbridled_b
The wonderful Ms. Brunette requested a William drabble, a character that I have actually never written before, so I hope it turned out. Also, as the first 100 words of fanfic I have written in almost two years, may I be the first to say GODDAMN I AM RUSTY!!!

His Best
Very carefully, William scraped the razor across his chin. His beard wasn't very thick, or fast growing, but he wanted to look his best.
He combed his hair, scowling at the looking glass. The barber had cut it too short, and the unruly curls now refused to be tamed, but he tried to make it look its best.
His cravat wasn't new, but he'd starched and tied it meticulously; his spectacles a tad crooked, but the hinge repaired and polished thoroughly.
He wanted to be at his best, because tonight, he would win the heart of Cecily.
Or die trying.
