@tarquinius Charles & Daphne

Daphne's first season had been riddled with disappointment and amusements in equal parts. Her partnership with the Duke had failed and now she was back on the marriage market and at yet another ball, this one was at the home of someone with claim to the throne, her mother was pleased at the invitation, but her mama did warn her as did Anthony to avoid being alone with their host. Even so she was dressed in a dusty rose and rubies dawned her ears and neck, even the comb which had been placed in her red locks.

She had only just received her dance card when she was presented to their host and she curtsied "Thank you for having us, you have a beautiful home" she spoke politely, ever sweet and poised. The perfect Dimond.

Tarquinius

Within this frail crucible of light. Like a chrysalis contained within it's silk. Oblivion. Loveliness is you. As blood red rubies set in ebony. Her lips illumine the black lake of night. Loveliness. I am Tarquinius. I hope you never wept over me, Because I never cared for you. Loveliness. I am Tarquinius. (Some of the text is taken from Benjamin Britten's opera, The Rape of Lucretia.)
