@DefiantAmatory -- without even a knock. Charlotte was already there, albeit hunched over some papers.

@DefiantAmatory -- return home once she figures out that the Shadow World is not a place for her.

Upon entrance, Will inquired about Charlotte’s whereabouts, and Sophie informed him that she was expecting them in her drawing room. Will took the lead and entered the drawing room --

@CordialAcumen -- wayward lock, Will couldn’t help but feel a certain sense of pride for this achievement.

“Perfect.”

He briefly admired his miracle work, then moved to continue on their path. “Do you style your own hair, or does Sophie help you with it?”

@CordialAcumen was on his mind all the time. Her voice echoed in his mind, repeating everything she had ever said to him. When he read, Will searched for her in one of the heroines. Every book had something that would make him think of her or just wish to suggest it to her --

@CordialAcumen After staring at the hairdo and wondering how one fixes this, Will moved to stand behind Tessa. What he does next could either fix it or ruin it completely, so Will was careful about it.

Women's hairdos ought to be considered a branch of science.

Successfully fixing the --

@DefiantAmatory -- was certain that it wouldn't be an argument, Will continues patting and fondling Balos. That took some time.

Being an older brother was difficult. Very difficult when the younger sibling was Cecily who loved nothing more than pushing his buttons.

"Don't be stubborn. --

@CordialAcumen -- for a lock in an attempt to put it back with the rest of Tessa's hair... Somehow.

@CordialAcumen -- hand.

"We shall promenade then." Will graciously waved an arm in the direction he wanted them to take.

His gaze fell on a brown lock that fell out of Tessa's updo. Hesitant for a moment, Will just stood stoically before stepping closer to fix it. Fingers reached --

@DefiantAmatory -- Cecily," he began softly and carefully. "It is very cold and you just arrived. Would you not prefer to eat and rest inside in the warmth of the Institute?"

@DefiantAmatory -- softness.

"This one is Balios. The other one is Xanthos."

Will looked past Balios's neck at his sister, regretting the way he had been treating her. But it was simply hard to maintain one's cool when she was being so stubborn and wild.

"We have men who do this, --

@CordialAcumen -- have fun and not think of everything that's wrong.

"Oh, no. What will our dear neighbours say? Or worse! What if they stop coming over for tea? We will be shunned, Miss Gray."

Urged by her teasing words but more afraid of being spotted by the inhabitants of the --

@DefiantAmatory -- near the stables where, lo and behold, Cecily was.

"Are you planning to run off with one of our horses or have you finally realised that you and the horse share a lot in common?"

Messing with a sister was a holy brotherly duty.

@DefiantAmatory -- to make a point that it's awfully cold and that a lady should not be out there for long or she might fall ill.

Upset that he was being lectured on common sense, Will hurried outside to find his rebellious sister. After going through the garden, he finally stubled --
