Walter stood at the door, glancing down at his pocket watch. He was ready and dressed in a new, elegant suit and was now waiting on his grandfather. When the old man finally appeared in his own suit, Walter helped him outside.<br/><br/>"I'm not going to fall apart." Charles said, a hint of amusement in his voice as Walter fussed. Without another word, the Forges departed.<br/><br/>When they arrived, the two were greeted by the Allertons. Walter stood behind his grandfather, eyeing Angus and his wife who stood next to him. He didn't know Marianne very well, and had only spoken with her once or twice, and even then it had been brief. Angus on the other hand he knew well enough to know he didn't like the man. Sure, they had only spoken a handful of times, and it had been about business, but from what he knew of the family and their problems with his own Walter found it hard to like the man.<br/><br/>It was with a cool demeanor that Walter took Angus' hand, a faint smile lasting a few short moments.<br/><br/>"Angus, it is nice to see you again." He forced himself to say, trying to keep any irritation from his voice.<br/><br/>Charles on the other hand had taken the man's hand as though they were old friends before turning to Marianne and greeting her in equal measure. Taking her hand, Charles kissed the back of it, a warm smile on his face.<br/><br/>"A pleasure to see you my dear." He said, before feeling the hand of his grandson upon his shoulder.<br/><br/>"Pardon him, he's quite the fellow." Walter laughed, a glare sent towards Charles as he apologized for his actions.
