The sun shining in softly brought to life the flowers she had been given by Gerard to her earlier that morn. Pondering to herself the various options for Virginia's dear little brother before she came to a conclusion and let the drapery fall where it may. Lacing her fingers together she turned and looked over towards her best of friends. [color=0072bc]"Then I would suggest that you make haste and whisk your brother off to parts otherly than here in England so that he may come into his own and train before the shutting of the door, forcing the Earldom on him. For if he leaves before any sad conclusions are drawn and titled is forced upon him they cannot force him back. The contracts transcend all Crowns and Borders for the safety of the Soulled. He would be granted time to finish his training, wherever you choose, and you would be given temporary Regency over his lands and title until his return. While I would not wish the titles on any, I know you are far more capable than a child, far more than most any man that currently holds one. Yes, send him now, before it is too late."[/color] Millicents words were solemn but kind as she spoke before she hurried over towards Virginia and knelt before her, taking the pale woman's hands in her own, running her fingers over her skin as she chuckled to herself for unknown reasons. Looking back up she smiled at Lady Crypt as she reached up and brushed back some of her light golden locks. [color=0072bc]"I can secure a ship for his travels at your earliest convenience."[/color] Letting out a slow breath she rose and released Virginia's hands before stepping away from her, shaking her head as her hand covered her mouth. The offer to leave the manor and go elsewhere was tempting, to get her sisters away from Elizabeth even more so but in the end she knew she could not. [color=0072bc]"She is my mother. For the sake of my father I must remain and protect her as fervently as I would him. I cannot turn my back on his trust and confidence no matter the short comings she may possess."[/color] Miss Wyndham would have loved to leave, to have a life of her own but she had so much she still needed to do, things she was bound by her heart and her mind to do. Protect her sisters, protect her step-mother, ensure the safety as best she could of those that worked for her family in the home and further away at the country estate, to continue to look out for her fathers business interests. To ensure the family carried on. Her wants and needs were secondary to all else in this life. Biting her bottom lip for a more than a moment before letting it slip away and shaking off the childish dreams of anything more for herself in this life at this point she turned back to Virginia and motioned for her to use her own bed as she needed. [color=0072bc]"Please, do what you need. I will see that you are protected, none shall harm you without first having to come through me,"[/color] she said as she took a seat at her vanity. Pulling the cloth of her gown to the side where it slit high along her waist she pulled her dagger from its sheath on her thigh. She would not let anything harm Virginia while she still drew breath.
