soft brown eyes widened, unable to mask her surprise at the blondes revelation of the events that she'd missed. "ah, scandal and flirtation," she mused, her tone light. "it seems the season has begun in earnest then. how fortunate i am to have missed such theatrics." there was a subtle edge to her words, a suggestion that perhaps she didn't entirely mind her absence from the whirlwind of society gossip and intrigue. "but what of you, sir? did you find yourself swept up in any of these scandals, or were you merely an amused observer?"

“  oh  you  missed  quite  the  night.  ”  florian  begins,  a  playful  smile  atop  his  lips.  his  accent  present  with  each  word,  a  frenchman  until  his  last  breath.  in  truth,  the  ball  had  been  surprisingly  uneventful,  but  he  couldn’t  resist  a  moment  to  tease.  the  blonde  had  spent  a  majority  of  the  night  flirting  as  he  was  told,  dancing  as  he  practiced,  and  chatting  with  anyone  interesting  enough  to  hold  a  conversation.  he  was  too  new  to  society  to  know  if  anything  untold  occurred,  or  if  there  were  any  surprises  in  pairings.  “  couples  flagrantly  flirting,  handsy  in  the  gardens,  and  i  do  believe  i  heard  something  about  a  duke  getting  caught  in  a  room  alone  with  a  young  lady.  scandalous.  ”

"it seems as though i have missed the first dance of the season." the comment was a strange tone, a mix of disappointment and relief slipping into her usual collected appearance. the idea of attending had filled her with excitement, and yet the moment she drew closer and closer to town an uneasy knot of apprehension had formed in her stomach. she was unsure whether it was too soon, too sudden to return to the society in which her parents wished for her, and upon arrival to find the event over, the pressure to conform to their expectations eased, giving the brunette a moment of brief respite. "i suppose there were several interesting moments to hear of?"

amelie fairchild was born into the esteemed fairchild family, inheriting a sweetness of character that endeared her to all who knew her.

her journey began with promise and anticipation as she was betrothed to a suitor in the bustling heart of london, leaving her family's estate to meet him. yet, her path diverged drastically from societal expectations.

tragedy struck during her journey to london when amelie fell victim to a sinister plot orchestrated by those harbouring malice towards her family. kidnapped and held captive, she endured months of uncertainty and fear, her gentle spirit tested by the cruelty of her captors.

after almost two years, amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged as amelie managed to escape through sheer determination and courage, fleeing into the unknown countryside. alone and afraid, fate intervened in the form of a man whose profession was to find the lost or missing. the man stumbled across her taking rest in an inn, weary and dishevelled yet unbowed in spirit. he guided her back to the safety of her family's embrace. though physically free, the scars of her ordeal ran deep, casting a shadow over her once bright demeanour.

however, despite their joy at her return, amelie's parents were desperate to find her a suitor, especially now with her age and reputation. tasked once more with finding a suitable match, amelie grappled with newfound doubts and insecurities. the betrayal she endured had shaken her faith in others, leaving her wary of forming connections lest history repeat itself.

her past suitor: the man who she was destined to wed before her kidnapping. the two never met face to face, but had communicated through letters. amelie is unsure whether he loathes her for vanishing, or has moved on to find a new bride.

the man who found her: a newfound friend in a time of great strife, he was paid by her family to find her - and that he did. though it took her a long time to trust him, amelie now considers him one of the only people she trusts. // taken by hamish @scftlxves
