Charlotte had smiled as Count Fritz had started about Thea's eyes. She glanced at her as she said gently. [color=BBC7E1] "Thea's eyes are really magical to look at. She's very blessed. "[/color] Her head tilted back to Count Fritz as she listened intently, giggling finally as he pardoned himself.[color=BBC7E1]" Your grandmother's eyes sound lovely too. Sharks are beautiful creatures. I used to read about them when I was younger. The ocean very much fascinated me. Oh, and you need not worry about prattling. We love to listen."[/color] 

She then gasped and put her hands over her mouth upon seeing the gift basket. She managed to hold her tongue so the man could fully speak, but she was most delighted someone would bring her sweet Kier and Champion gifts. Passionately, she felt they were most deserving of all the gifts in the world. As she watched him feed a treat to Champion, a sense of bittersweet nostalgia came over her. An image of her father feeding a treat to their family dog Lullaby, in the same position as Count Fritz, replaced reality for a split second and she downcast her gaze. She was mildly aware of Thea playing with Champion, smiling at her in simple reply. [color=BBC7E1][i]I suppose it's a lie we tell ourselves that time makes these sorts of things easier. Never seemed that way to me... I haven't had a chance to think about how different it is to be in this home for the first time without mother or father here.[/i][/color]


Her head rose up in time to hear Count Fritz explain they would all get three cookies. Delilah let out a triumphant noise before anyone else could and rose her fist in the air with excitement. She had quite the kick in her step as she left to fetch more tea. Charlotte had been about to follow her and offer her assistance, but then Count Fritz's voice found her ear. She was not quick to answer.[color=BBC7E1][i] Oh that's right. I took this man on a wild goose chase last night and now he's brought my whole household cookies. Even my pets... How am I going to tell him Lorenzo was apparently in the garden the whole time?[/i][/color]


The deep chime of the grandfather clock filled the room as it struck 12 noon. 

[color=BBC7E1] "He's home safe and sound..."[/color] Her eyes wandered to Thea as she filled her in. [color=BBC7E1] "Lorenzo was missing last night after the ball and Count Fritz was kind enough to help me look for him. Thankfully, we did find each other this morning and he's just in his room right now. He did say he would return but he may have fallen asleep after some trouble we found ourselves this morning... "[/color]There was one more pause before Charlotte addressed Count Fritz once again, [color=BBC7E1] "But um, really, thank you for everything. You really are kind, Count Fritz."[/color]
