Devil in Disguise

"I do not think you lesser of me, I just dislike being deceived. I try to protect myself from it, best I can. "

"If ever have I deceived you, please speak the injustice now."

"Still, an honour to be in the presence of a serviceman." She spoke kindly, watching James gather the horses. He brought two of the horses to the gate, offering the reigns to each. "Artemis and Apollo." Mina smiled, offering the stallion’s reigns out to Mr. Wickham. James settled on her third horse, Hermes.

"You’re more than welcome, Mr. Wickham." She replied, hooking her hand around the saddlehorn and easily pulling herself onto Artemis, settling into the saddle in content. Riding was one of her favorite activities; she never passed a chance to do it. "Paris is lovely this time of year. I enjoyed it when I last visited." She added, pulling her traveling cloak a bit tighter around herself. "I hope the rest of your travels, however, are far more lucky than today’s."

He smirked at her subtly in ignoring his outrageous forwardness in calling her an angel. Rarely was Wickham ever set back at this. So, he felt little discouragement when he continued with. "The honour is mine, I assure you, being in the presence of one so gracious to a perfect stranger." He took the reins after stroking the horse's long nose in patient greeting then swung himself up on the saddle. He gave his borrowed horse a steady pat and positioned himself on the leather with a confident seating. "They are fine creatures, Miss Murray," he praised.

Turning his steed about toward the road, he guided the beast with a practiced pressure of his legs against the sides. "There really is no need of you to trouble yourself, Miss Murray. I am sure James could accompany me to reassure that I return with your stallion," he grinned cheekily to give away his teasing. Though he did not wish her to get caught in the storm, he could understand that she would not trust a man that showed up on her doorstep with, no doubt, a prize-winning horse to ride off into the night.

❝ Oh !! You’ve startled me … ❞

"I do apologise for that, miss. It was positively fiendish of me to do so."

Bonus for the bravehearts: reblog without looking, either.

"It was about your relationship with the Darcys….I will not pry further as I do have some things in my past that are not worth elaborating on."

"You must not feel hindered at expressing what weighs on your conscience. I do not wish you to lie in the company of someone whom you feel is the lesser of you. You do not deserve to waste your time so ill-advised."

"Are they not true, then?" She asked almost sounding hopeful "Or were they misinformed? I’m sorry if I believed them, I’m the last person who should believe rumors about others."

"I cannot say when I do not know what it is you have heard, exactly. But I will admit to having a past, as we all do."

"I have asked others about you and I do not like what I have heard. You have done some horrible things."

"Care to highlight your favourites?" he inquired most fiendishly. After a pause, he rolled his eyes in a rude manner then shook his head. "Forgive me, my mood is appalling. It tends to sour when I am often reminded that the words of others travel quickly and without mercy."

wickedlywickham said: "Am I so abruptly altered in your eyes?"

"Yes, unless you can give good reason for what you’ve done….I see no way around it.’

"As it is, my soul is as black as the night that hosts the new moon. Perhaps you can instruct me as to what it is that I have done that displeases you so."

"British Militia?" She arched a slender brow, chuckling. "I appreciate that, however. I’m quite fond of my horses." Mina spoke, looking over at him as he offered his hand. She took it in her own after slight hesitation, her smile remaining. "Mina Murray. A pleasure, Mr. Wickham." She released his hand and continued along the path to a paddock, where there were three horses grazing in the open field, an elder gentleman tending to them.

"James, this is Mr. George Wickham. His horse has slipped a shoe - are you up for the task of assisting him?" She inquired, reaching for the latch. Her groomsman, James, nodded and immediately began to prepare the horses for riding. Mina turned her attention back to her present company.

"So. What brings you this way, Mr. Wickham?"

"Yes. I have taken a leave of absence for the time being. Hence my lack of uniform," he grimaced in guilt as he motioned with his other hand in presentation of his gentleman's cravat and coattails. At the slide of her own hand into his offered one, he placed a gentle, polite kiss to the delicate knuckles then surrendered it dutifully back to her. "I am sure they are fine animals. I thank you for leave of making use to them for my sake, Miss Murray. And might I add a renewed statement of my gratitude at coming upon you in the first place. You are truly an angel."

As Miss Murray instructed her stable hand, Wickham busied himself with putting his riding gloves back on as well as his hat. The temperature was changing rather abruptly signaling that rainfall would not be far behind. He could only hope that the task of getting on his way would be swift enough to not leave the lady out for it to start. "I am to meet with a friend. Then we are for Paris. Silly reason, to be sure, to travel so recklessly, but here we are."

"Hello Mr. Wickham. Thank you for coming to visit.", Georgiana greeted him kindly. She was quiet and looked down modestly for a few moments before looking back up at his face."I am most eager for news of home. Have you any?"

He bowed in greeting to the young Miss Darcy, glancing upward at her through the slant of his brow as he raised himself gradually once more. "I am unhappy to report nothing that you yourself may not already know already, Miss Georgiana. It seems I am terribly uninformed of all things since returning to my regiment these past weeks." He turned his head slightly to the side and fixed her with a mischievous look, glee causing his eyes to lit up with his signature amusing nature anew. "I have come for your lessons, as you know.
