"I don't know if I should go" Viola muttered to Tommy

"Why not? he's your family, your kin" Tommy replied, not understanding why it'd be so bad, so what if there was family drama? It was a funeral and everyone had a right to say goodbye.

"Because Papa is still furious and demanding that I stop rebelling against him, I don't want my cousin's funeral to revolve around me...it's distasteful" Viola told him.

Tommy rolled his eyes "if you want, I'll come with you and act as Gypsy as possible would that make you happy?"

"Its sweet that you're so willing to take the fall for me" Viola pressed a kiss against his cheek "But I want to say goodbye to Patrick and see how Edith is, poor dear will be heartbroken"

"I thought Mary was marrying Patrick?" Tommy asked with a frown

"Yes, but Edith loved Patrick, it's what led to the strife between those two" Viola informed him

"And why don't you two get on?" Tommy questioned

Viola sighed "Edith is a wonderful sister, when she tries but she sees slights in everything doesn't help that Mary is genuinely trying to upset her. Mary had Patrick but didn't want him Edith wanted Patrick but he didn't want her. It was a whole mess; I want Edith to be happy but she won't find it going against Mary. Mary can be...vicious, it'll be her downfall"

"Lords and Ladies making their life far more difficult than it needs to be" Tommy grunted

"You're the one who wants to join us on our pedestal" Viola snarked lightly and he nodded his agreement

"I do, with power, influence and wealth I can provide you with a good life, provide our children with a good life. Be untouchable, never have to worry about a thing" Tommy told her passionately.

Viola softened having heard her lover talking about how rough life had been for him growing up, he was a career criminal and Tommy was never going to change, Viola accepted that but he wanted something legit that supported them and their lifestyle so it wouldn't be torn away from them, a better life for their kids.

"You don't have to come but I would like it" Viola murmured to him "I'd like the support because I know how Papa will react but I feel..."

"Bad for asking me to play at being your shield?" Tommy asked before shaking his head "stailc tintreach I want to be your shield, your sword, your knight and king. I want to be your everything"

"You already are" Viola murmured to him pressing a kiss against his bare chest

"Good" Tommy said in satisfaction, smugness rolling off him

"There's going to be drama" Viola murmured "The Entail has always been a source of problem in my parent's marriage"

"Only a man can inherit and your Ma's money will go to a random stranger along with Downton" Tommy recalled

Viola nodded "Cora and Grandmama will want to change it so Mary can inherit it all but I fear it will not work as they wish"

Tommy hummed, he'd have to make sure something so ridiculous wasn't apart of their marriage "let's get some mourning clothes and then we'll head off to war, if you wish to leave, we will immediately"
