It had been a, few days since what had happened since then, Ester was as of now was in her room as she sat on the daybed as she was embroidering the last of the pink tulips, when she snaps her head in the direction of her door when it slamed open due to eloise's doing
"Ester!! Look what lady whistledown's written!" Eloise exclaims as she speeds over to her, making her confused as she furrows her brows as she takes the paper into her hands as she reads, making her gap in surprise at the paper while Eloise stood before her while having a great smile of glee and relief.
"Oh my!" She says in surprise and wonder that lord Berbrooke is gone and now away as she can only assume, Eloise had a smirk as she nods, "mmhm" she says with a smirk
"Eloise, are you by any chance lady whistledown?" Ester asks in intrigue as she hands the paper back to eloise, "oh of course not, i'll see you later sister, I'm meeting with Penelope to ask more of how a woman comes with child— you can join if you wish sister" eloise smiles, and Ester shakes her head.
"I shall join you next time. Though please enlighten me all you learn when you return."
Today they would be, at a royal attraction— where prince Frederick would be going, he was the nephew of the queen, and when they get there, the two youngest run off to play, daphne was gone to promenade the area.
Eloise left to go promenade with Penelope, leaving the three eldest and Ester with their mama as of now, "miss avorne speaks 7 languages i hear, miss mary elcosfurn, now i hear she's quite the read" violet says quietly to Anthony while Colin and Benedict were on either side of Ester, who was looking up at the ceiling with interest at the beautiful painted scenery— distracted by it.
"If we were looking for a list of debutante's and a list of their dubious suitors, i could have stayed home and read lady whistledown" Anthony tells their mama, making Ester stop looking up and looking back at her mama, whose head turns around over her shoulder at her and her two other brothers, making Anthony slip away, then when her mama tries to have Benedict do it, he manages to get away before colin too slips away, leaving just her and her mama
"Let's look at the painting's mama" she suggests to her mama, making her mama nod and they hook their arms, "why don't we look for future suitors?" Her mama suggests, making her gain a smile, "alright mama" she tells her mama with a smile, which was unlike her sister— who hated the thought of a future husband, or even promenading with one
As she and her mama walk, her mama points some men out to her— which she gives said man a smile before leaving and walking around as they look at the paintings, which Ester would look at them with wonder in her features, she would also avert her eyes whenever there were paintings that had some nudity, hiding her subtly heated up cheeks
Then, miss cressida proceeds to swoon as the prince catches her, where he would kneel and help her up before getting claps from his help. Eventually the event was over and they went to their home
In the drawing room, was Daphne playing the piano, eloise was reading a book, and ester was simply embroidering, "oh enough! I beg of you!" Eloise exclaims to Daphne, making the eldest stop in her playing whilst Ester lifts her head up along with peaches doing the same. Daphne turns towards Eloise
"Well perhaps you should join me? You'll need to be proficient on the piano forte soon enough, could use the practice" daphne tells eloise, and unlike her twin— Eloise wasn't proficient whilst Ester was— their little fight was simply observed by Ester who stopped enbroidering
"On second thought, continue. You will frighten away the duke, the prince, and any other eligible suitor clear across the north sea" eloise tells daphne off, making Ester's lips pull down at her sisters words
"And you would wish that upon me, would you, sister?" Daphne asks, "if it kept mama's attentions focused on you instead of me, i might" eloise snaps back, Ester decided not to make any comment and get in between their bickering, "you can take your reading outside" daphne tells Eloise sassily, "you say that as if reading were a bad thing" eloise argues, peaches lowers her head down as Ester just looks at her sister's
"I meant not such thing" daphne retaliates, "but it won't gain me a husband? Is that what you meant?" Eloise asks, making daphne sigh, Ester nibbles on the inside of her lip
"Eloise..." daphne trails off, "you wish to follow your heart, and i wish to nurture my mind. Let us leave it there" eloise tells daphne, her words making Ester's lips pull down
"Can you at least try to understand?! You never see things from me perspective, or even Ester's! You are not the only one with troubles eloise! You have no idea what it's— it does not matter" Daphne exclaims before turning to the piano again as eloise's eyes were focused on her book, the mention of Ester's name makes said girl tense up a bit
"Is it an original?" Eloise asks lowly randomly, "what?" Daphne asks in surprise, "that song, did you compose it yourself?" Eloise asks again as she looks up, straining her head up in a tilt, "in a matter of speaking" daphne replies, and now Ester untenses again
"What is the name of it?" Eloise says rushed, "it doesn't have a name" daphne replies, "every song has a name" Eloise says back, "it's just a song, Eloise" daphne says, making eloise pause
"If you need to practice, then do so. Just... come up with a name for it at least" eloise says, making the two give smiles before they both return to what they were doing and Ester lips pull up again as she returns to her embroidery as daphne plays the piano softly
