He rubbed his ear and chuckled.

"How have you been, sister?"

"I know !"
Henriette let out a belly laugh.

"Geeh!"

Swats at the feather with a laugh. "Hey, that tickles!"

"Gah!"

He caught the overhanded one, the underhanded pineapple bounced off him to the ground.

Tosses two pineapples to @DukeHenryStuart

One underhanded. One overhanded.

"Catch!"

@WrittenedTears ~ further news. "What is the matter with mother? Does she know we are all safe? If not, then we must send someone out to let her know."

Henry then gave Elizabeth a warm and gentle smile. "You're not crazy. You have been through a lot. And now we can be there for you again."

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

"Elizabeth!" Do his eyes deceive him? His eyes well up in tears of relief. "You're alive! What... how.... how have you been?"

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

@WrittenedTears Henry did his best to pull himself together. He was a man, after all. Oh, but how he melted into that hug, and squeezed his sister tightly as if he might lose her again.

"You have come across Louis? How does he fare?" he asked curiously. His expression became alarmed at the ~

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

"I won't say no if you wish for some," he said amusedly, setting his glass down.

[༄ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 ༄ @MerriestMonarch]

Charles smiled at his brother's eloquent toast.

"Here, here!" After a second lift of his glass, he took a big swig. "I rather fancy some orange ice cream, brother. What say you? Shall we call for some?"

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

"To good health, speedy recoveries, and happy reunions," Henry said with a smile and clink of his glass.

[༄ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 ༄ @MerriestMonarch]

"Interesting is a good euphemism, yes." He laughed louder this time.

A click of their glasses and he smiled broadly at his brother, repeating his words.

"Here, here! To better times ahead! And to family! Let us drink to those not here with us now. May they return soon."

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

"He does have rather interesting taste in partners," Henry murmured.

He then raised his glass in a toast. "Cheers to you, brother, and many more, happier years."

[༄ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 ༄ @MerriestMonarch]

"That someone has more baggage than you," he said lightly with good humour. "And besides, protesting would require unhooking himself from whatever hideous-looking woman he's bedding now."

Slices of cut cake were given to them both along with champagne flutes. "Cheers, brother!"

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

"Delightful, I love it!" He then smiled slyly. "Best, you say? I'm sure someone would argue that."

[༄ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 ༄ @MerriestMonarch]

"Of course. I couldn't forget to celebrate the best brother that I have." He smiled. "I hope you like chocolate."

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

Thank you very much, brother.

Has been obliviously enjoying his time at the Prince of Condé's palace in Paris.

Sometimes he considers moving to France for good. England has many corners that cause him a sudden onset of panic.

"He is well, though his mind is haunted by battles. I do enjoy his presence, however, and find my stay to be pleasant. What about you? How have you been?"

[The Chevalier (parody) @TheSilkenBlade]

He nodded. “The prince of Conde? How is he? Have you enjoyed your stay with him?”

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

I tend to avoid crowds. I'm not sure I am very interesting. I have been staying with the Prince of Condé, do you know him?

[The Chevalier (parody) @TheSilkenBlade]

Ah! Where have you been hiding? Sit. Sit! Tell me everything.

[𝓗𝓮𝓷𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓽 . (Parody) @DukeHenryStuart]

Could do with a glass of wine~

[The Chevalier (parody) @TheSilkenBlade]

Or maybe just wine.

@DearestMinette ~ emotions. I have grown up, and men move forward. At least in public, I cannot let any of it show."

@DearestMinette ~ to say how I feel. Some days I am angry, other days I am sad. Sometimes I feel nothing at all. It is a constant push and pull of the tides, a weaving of different emotions."

His gaze flitted restlessly across the room. "So often I feel... like I ought to hide these ~
