<span style="font-style: italic">"I am sorry. i just saw Johh enter Lady Avelynn's room." </span>Alister arched a slight eyebrow as Lady Kate spoke words faster Han his brain could actually process. Though the name Avelyn wasn't exactly a name he would recognize , but he knew where she had went , and thus could figure out that Avelyn was just a replacement for his cousine's name.<span style="font-style: italic">" He was either drunk or pretended to be. I heard he lock the door. I just hope he goes to his room. You must be exhausted. I had forgotten the time. I can tell Papa delay meeting with you until later this afternoon."</span>Her next words book him by a slight surprise , and though he wasn't getting tired , the fact that they have to meet her father yet again made him nervous.  Their feet echoed going down the stair case towards her father's study.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> "I named the princess Avelynn. I am hoping Johh was really drunk. I never saw him enter a ladies room like that."</span>Lady Kate seemed oddly surprised about this small fact but in reality her brother tried very hard not to be drunk around her. For curtosy rather than respect but none the less he wasn't about to vouch for John all the time.<br/><br/>" Well, I took notice that you used a new name for her , but if you would be a dear , " He paused his feet for a second trying to decide if he should defend Sir John. " your brother , Sir John, is not exactly the best with holding his liquid, and in an honor to you he tried not to be like," His hand waved in a motion as if suggesting craziness. " that around you. " Then his feet began to move , they were getting rather close to her father's study at this point.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Keeping her a secret will be hard. We must keep my brother busy. Is that or you keep him on your tail and away from your cousin.I was thinking she could be our chaperone. Is time you both had some fun. I want to take a sleigh ride to the lake. Does your cousin know how to ice skate?"</span>There was a slight smile on his face at the thought of skating , and fun but he knew that for some reason fun might not be in the air at the moment.<br/><br/>" My cousin does not how to skate, but on a lighter not we only have to keep her secret from a few people. Just as well I do not see why we can't chaperone ourselves." They had both made it to her father's study and he wasited for her to open the door first.
