@shvrmas​​ starter call {{&&friedrich&kate}}

fredrich had been staring at the handkerchief, with the embordered initials “ES” almost pathetically since she’d given it to him. he should return it, and the thought of seeing her again was thrilling. he wanted to truly get to know her, and hopefully win her affections. however he was terrified. what if she were upset he hadn’t told her his real name? what if she had known, and found him awkward and silly? what if she was already spoken for, and she was merely being polite? he was scared. his aunt, and sisters would point out he was a prince and any women would be lucky to have his attention, but they did not know this edwina. that was her name, and it sounded musical in his head. he set the cloth down, and it quickly blew away. as he dashed for it, for it was his connection to her, he heard everyone say he shouldn’t not run after a handkerchief of all things, when he found its way In front of a young women  ❝i do apologize, i did not mean to have it leave my grasp. it does not belong to me, and i must return it to the rightful owner..❞ he was out of breath. ❝i do apologize for the terrifying image of myself running after it.❞       

edwina approached her sister from behind, linking their arms when she reached her. “you look beautiful, didi. as always.” she glanced up at her sister with a beaming smile. the past week had certainly been difficult for the pair as they were rocked with a scandal, but now that everything was out in the open, edwina was hopeful that they would grow even closer. she cast her gaze out to the ballroom at all of the masked figures. there is a beat of silence as she attempted to search for a certain viscount at the centre of the scandal and possibly of her sister’s heart. she hadn’t spent much time around the gentleman but the look on kate’s face told her everything she needed to know. “i may have much to learn but i do believe that the world would remain intact if you allow yourself to be happy.”

after exchanging pleasantries and greetings, daphne led the sharma sisters into the drawing room for tea and conversation. when she turned around to face the pair once more, her gaze fell on the new ring that adorned miss kate sharma's finger. it was a ring she would recognise anywhere. she had spent many hours of her youth admiring the ring and begging to hear her parents' beautiful love story, despite having heard it many times previously. all conscious thought stopped, unable to think about anything except the ring. this could only mean one thing — her eldest brother had made his intentions with miss kate sharma clear before it was too late. finally. pride swelled in her chest at the mere thought of the conversations she shared with anthony regarding the eldest sharma. her predictions were right and now she would inherit two wonderful sisters. "please," she said, trying to contain her sheer excitement as she gestured towards the seating area and plates of food. "help yourself to whatever you like, i requested a selection but if colin returns home, we will require much more food."

nicholas had come over to see his favorite cousins, when he saw it was just kate in the drawing room. ❝you and edwina have been in london for 5 minutes and already have been mentioned in whisledown. first you with the viscount bridgerton, and she with a prince?❞ he smirked  ❝and here i was thinking you’d need my help to navigate the ton❞ he hugged her.

Eloise liked Kate. She didn't care what Anthony said. She was going to be friends with her regardless. She had recognised her even with the masquerade. Eloise wasn't stupid, she knew people and she would always recognise them when she saw them. There wasn't a lot that went over her head.

"Kate! Finally, someone who I can speak to that wont make me want to scream."

@shvrmas​​ cont from here {{&&jacquetta&kate}}

jacquetta looked at her friend. kate was one of the smartest and most discerning people she ever knew, and yet, in this case, she was so blind. or perhaps she was in denial. kate had seen the two of them, lord bridgerton and kate, and she could see the chemistry, the desire in their eyes. ❝kate, might i speek freely?❞ she asked  ❝just because someone has a reputation, doesn’t mean its all they are.❞ she knew kate was determined to find her sister a match, but why coud she not find one for herself. from her husband, and brother, anthony bridgerton was a good man, if not just known for being a rake.

"I hear congratulations are in order." Benedict began, approaching the lady with warm features. He bows slightly, before approaching her to allow them to converse fully.

she doesn't hear the soft bell chime, though she would normally. her head run away with the cloud so it seems, lost in a world that is not her own. she doesn't mean not to greet the miss as she enters the tailors, in fact it's not until she's turning from the back of her shop, with an arm full of fabrics that she realises there's someone there. with a shuddering gasp and a heavy thud, fabrics tumble to the ground and her hand is pressed against her chest. ❝ ilah ! ❞ she exclaims in foreign tongue before she regains sense. ❝ i wasn't expecting anyone, i apologise. ❞

“dearest sister, you look well,” the words leave her lips in a cheerful enough tone but edwina is certain that her sister will be able to pick up on the slight edge. there isn’t much she can hide from her older sister, but it seemed as though the opposite was no longer true. a smile tugged at her lips as she gestured toward the set table, where a full teapot sat, along with some finger sandwiches and other foods she knew her sister would tolerate. “would you like to join me for a little tea?” she asked, although her tone remained sweet, the question did not invite any answer other than an affirmative one. “i had your least objectionable treats prepared for you.”

a single glance of the pair is enough to send daphne out of the room as she cannot stomach to see more. she could not bring herself to swallow the pain, for the edges still felt too sharp. it felt like her world was spinning off it’s axis and nothing made sense. when she finally located a lone bench out in the garden, she all but ran towards it, acting as though she would run out of time if she did not make haste. however, when she turned around to sit, she saw the eldest sharma and despite all of the various parts of her body that were aching, she managed a smile. “miss sharma ... kate. are you enjoying tonight’s festivities?”

52.  MEAL :  for both muses to prepare and share a meal together.

lunch that day was just kate and nicholas, which was fine for him, since he'd just found out, kate and the viscount were actually courting. he wanted to make sure his cousin was being treated the way she deserved ❝so, tell me, how has your time with the viscount been?❞

“Just because people do horrible things, it doesn’t always make them horrible people.”

@shvrmas

Eloise nodded slowly. "Sometimes it does." She told her. "Some people just take great pleasure in being horrible." She rolled her eyes. "My brother luckily is not one of them."
