if i met you in real life, I would whisk you away to Almacks where we would indulge in the latest gossip of the ton while flirting with the sea of dandies that flock there.
Oh my dearest friend! you always know just the thing to please me! mon dieu, how this would please me! fine clothes, fine wine and good company (I cannot say great intelligence for I fear that a good sense of style does not equate to a ready wit.)

ah my darling! I love it. I do! And with all my heart I would wish that our two families would be joined in more than just our spiritual and emotional bonds
oh I assure you they, of course, are! only Arthur and I were married so late, as you recall, and my eldest daughter Georgiana is only four years old when we visit Vienna in 1814! Unfortunately the lady Angelina would not have a fellow in the social scene among my daughters. My eldest son is only eight!
If they had a kid meme: Moi and my darling Cas. Also you and your darling Wells
oh my darling if I went through all my little ones it would take forever and a day, but I assure you there will be a post for that detailing all of that. I will give you my eldest boy, Arthur. Though Freese is really my eldest and I do, very much, consider him my own. We may have had some rough patches in the beginning and though he is not of my blood, he is mine and he brings me much pride in all he does.
Name: Arthur Richard Wellesley
Gender: Male
General Appearance: (as Elizabeth's son he is blonde, since her FC is Clemence Poesy-oh I'll explain it later.) He's of average height since neither his mother nor his father are that tall. He has his father's penetrating blue eyes and the rich brown hair of his mother. He is a slim boy, but lithe, carrying himself with a good deal of grace and ease. Naturally he has the Wellesley nose.
Personality: It weighs on Arthur that when his father dies it will be who will become the Duke of Wellington. He knows nothing in his life, whatever achievements he may make, will ever compare to what his father has done. He lives perpetually in the shadow of his great father. He is a serious boy, he pays a great deal of attention to his studies, to learning about the estates, to the accounts. He is a gentleman through and through, not full of vain flatteries but in his actions. He is patient, and not nearly as terrible with words as his father was, in fact, his is very eloquent but never says more then needs saying. He agrees that his father had the right idea in knowing when to speak and when to simply keep his council, but he is not AS serious about it as his father. He realizes that no man is an island and to rely on people and trust them is all to the good-as long as they are the right people.
Special Talents: a good judge of character, an exceptional rider, as well as fencer. He is an accomplished gentleman (a dandy, naturally.) He is a far better shot then his father ever was, Freese taught him that. He also had quite a good head for figures, finding even the most difficult mathematical problem quite easy, so the books are always in order.
Who they like better: His Mother, his father can't help but being a little hard on him, and it's hard being in the shadow of a great man.
Who they take after more: His father, but he has a good mix of both his parents and he's really his own person.
Personal Head canon: spoilers! ~-^ but he is in a very famous regiment during the Crimean War.
As for you two? two beautiful people hopelessly in love with one another? I know what your trump card is to get him away from his work ~-^ I am certain you two would have more then one child, but I believe your first would be a girl. I won't include Frederick here, because he is not yours, really, though I know you love him like one of your own. Even when he gets rowdy with my Charles and destroys a vase (I am quite sorry for that, I know how much you liked that vase.)
Name: Angelina Frances Stewart
Gender: Female
General Appearance: she is quite fair with the finest complexion and the luxurious dark hair of her mother matched with the fantastic blue eyes of her father (if I'm wrong, tell me, portraits aren't helping.) She is a beauty by the opinions of more then just her family and friends (her father has absolutely no desire to bring his family with him to Vienna, he is utterly terrified of the attention his daughter will receive.)
Personality: She is extremely clever and a habitual flirt (some wondered if this was the reason her father went silver so early) but for all that she'd never sell herself cheaply. She's proud and loyal to a fault. If anyone attempts to ruin either her or a friend through a bad rumor she will strike back with all the fury of leopard. I say leopard because she is a cat, passionate when she want to be, disinterested if you're boring, and graceful.
Special Talents: Her voice is admired even in Vienna and she can play the pianoforte as well as sing. She loves dancing, especially the waltz (to the further horror of her father who I have heard ask you why you allowed it to be introduced to Almack's when it is such an obscene dance *funny how it's only obscene when it's his daughter dancing.*) She can also ride with the best of them and does not fear Wellington's Copenhagen in the least.
Who they like better: She's her father's little girl, but she is closer with her mother who is always there for her daughter, no matter what.
Who they take after more: Once again it's difficult to decide because it's a little bit of both.
Personal Head canon: She rules the social scene and causes more then a little fuss at the congress of vienna. Tsar Alexander even makes a pass at her and she is utterly horrified, and Robert? by this time he'd long since had enough of the Russian and is all ready to challenge him to a duel. Angelina dispels the situation deftly though, and finds her self spell bound by a smooth talking italian. Like mother-like daughter I suppose ~-^
Harry Potter, Fear, Teacher,Xylophone
Harry Potter: This one. For my dissertation.
Fear: Pregnancy, failing at life, fire.
Teacher: A Broadway actress! Or more realistically, a great costume designer.
Xylophone: Guitar and a bit of piano.
:)

oh the 21 year old rule in the states is so ridiculously absurd. I just. Why does it exist? And darling, men are overrated. Chocolate and wine should be your true loves. They are mine.
I feel marijuana should be made legal and the drinking age should be lowered to what it was. It is absurd that at 18 you can join the army but you can't drink..."you are legally allowed to get shot and die, but no, you can't drink to make the idea a little more favorable." Not that I'm a big drinker, I find vodka completely unsavory and really never understood the idea of shots, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good glass of wine or champagne.
oh! you can't even talk! you have captured yourself an attractive, intellectual, londoner! you could have all three! (feel free to use your imagination on how, I am offering no suggestions, merely laying it out there XP)

A Russian paramour! Sounds exquisitely like something from the gossips of Almacks! I’m sure Countess Lieven would be much amused.
I was just introduced to her by seventhbloodhoundofcastlereagh and I'm glad for it! As I mentioned she is already in the drafts for the roleplay. She is so phenomenal and her husband is not exactly a nobody himself, but she seems to have taken his popularity and outpaced him. Best friends with Castlereagh, a Patroness of Almack's, a notorious liaision with Metternich...goodness I think the girl places a premium on intellect!
I ought to test Boris's knowledge of his own history, he has some recollection of the russian language, I'd love to test his knowledge of history! first I need to seem normal so he thinks it's safe to talk with me...always the hardest part.
Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett. See where I'm going with this? You're their only daughter. Mr. Darcy has always had a soft spot for you and spoils you immensely, loving to see you laugh and smile and scream Papa! It is a marvel to his friends how his inexorable expression warms up just at the sight of his daughter. Lizzy is the more sensible parent of the two and reads books to you, discusses education with you. Both are stern where they have to be, and firm but loving parents.
oh I love it! they would be such amazing parents if only for the fact that they are so in love! I'd be such a daddy's girl, I know, you're absolutely right. I'd probably be like Adele from Wuthering Heights and want to dress up and show off my new dresses to him and do fashion shows and never be able to leave the house until I think he's impressed by how I look. Mother would roll her eyes at my vanity but always be glad when I returned home to her and asked if we could sit down and read some book together, or discuss a book the two of us were reading.
Of course, I think they would soon realize how much more agonizing it is when they are the parents freaking out about their daughter's prospects and making a good match, especially when all their lives they had raised her to be with someone she loves, now when she insists:
They will find themselves realizing how difficult that really is for a parent who only wants the best for their child but doesn't want their child to end up alone!
Of course that's hardly a concern since I've married Arthur and made a perfectly good match for myself ^-^
