So the girl wasn’t only unsure if her mother was in town or not, but she seemed concerned about it. Marius couldn’t help but wonder why she seemed to be so nervous upon the mention of Catherine. Did the girl finally escape her mother’s grasp for a bit? Finally got out to see a bit of the world? [color=078b83]”Worry not, I don’t actually know if your mother is in town. I’d only assumed that she may be since you’re here. Forgive me if I startled you.”[/color] He said to her, trying to calm her a little. He also took notice of the other dark haired woman walking towards them, standing up proud. As the woman gave him a knowing smile, he in turn gave her a coy smile of his own. He had no clue who she was, but she seemed rather interesting. His attention was caught once more by Helene as she asked who he was, claiming he looked familiar. [color=078b83]”Marius Dupont at your service, Mademoiselle.”[/color] He introduced himself as he gave her a gentlemanly bow. [color=078b83]”We’ve only met a handful of times at your mother's estate. Apologies, I should not have expected you to remember someone like myself. It is hard, however, to forget someone as lovely as yourself.”[/color] He gave her his most charming smile, deciding befriending the daughter of the Sinclair Foundation’s leader wasn’t such a bad idea. [color=078b83]”If you don’t mind, might I inquire as to what brought you to Ember Grove? I hope you don’t think me rude, but your reaction to my earlier question makes me wonder if your mother knows where you are? If she doesn’t know I want to assure you I’m not going to be the one to rat you out. That secret will be safe with me, but I do also hope you’d allow you to look out for you a small bit. Ember Grove is filled with some...treacherous monsters and it’s helpful to have a reliable friend you can call on for help if need be.”[/color]
