[color=82ca9d]"Well if I ever find myself in a moment of disgrace I do hope that I can look back on it as favorably as my uncle here. Now, yes, I must say with the bells tolling it would not be wise to set out alone on this evening."[/color] Setting his glass down he stood up and straightened in his jacket, a thought crossing his mind as he looked at the various images painted in frames and few photographs. It brought back memories that he wished to push down. Not that his entire time in the service was horrible but there were moments he did not want to remember. In fact after the war there were many many moments he prayed would never cross his mind again yet there they were, creeping up when least expected. Perhaps those few drinks he had had lowered his mental defenses and made it easier for those thoughts he did not want to have to come creepy to the forefront of his mind. Shaking off the thoughts he looked back over towards his glass and pondered for a moment if he should just down as much as he could until he passed out and couldn't remember anything. Thought after a moments contemplation he pushed that thought as well out of his mind. It would mean that he would be in any condition to speak with Vera come the following morning and he was not about to stack the odds against himself. That would just be plain... moronic. Coughing slightly he looked back over to his uncle and Lauren. [color=82ca9d]"Yes, I second the escort invitation, as well as remaining here. I am sure we can get you set up for the evening if you wish. Granted you would not have any of your own clothing but I am sure there are some uniforms we could find that would fit come morning,"[/color] he teased. [color=82ca9d]"The choice is up to you mi'lady I would say that we couldn't let you leave without at least an escort considering the bells."[/color]
