He stared at her for a long time awaiting her response, and the smile on his face never leaving. She was pleasing to the eye as she usually was, she wore a dark green gown- That was her family color was it not? Yes, he had heard so though he did not hear much about the Ellis due to his mother’s harsh opinions on them and their family life. Too restrictive, too boring and their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Stay away from such vile family, his mother would say but Harrison, Harrison was not known for being a good obedient boy. He was responsible yes, but he was anything but obedient. Sometimes, it seemed that whenever he went, a scandal will follow and rumors will come, no matter how far of or close they were and at the end of it all, Harrison always managed to remain discreet, mysterious. Most people did not really know him, and he liked it that way, he liked the appeal of not being known, and liked hearing others opinions on him.
Harrison would always say, his reputation was as fast as light, it precedes him. It gave him stories, tales, though and he loved to hear the tales people make up about him. The myths, it made him seem like a novel character, fictional and non exist, can be portrayed in any way possible that pleases the eyes or does not. But all Harrison hoped, was that a little part of his real self as a reputation always remained, that he was a lover of the arts, of beauty, and he was not a cruel man. He was various of things, he agreed, perhaps a little bit mean- he was not a saint after all and never pretended to be, a man whose boldness knows no bounds, but cruel? He was not cruel? At least he hoped he was not. But maybe breaking hearts was considered cruel, though he did not do that with much intention, most of the time.
He did not like cruel people nor did he like to be cruel, so when Lady Aurelia had pretended she did know him, the smile in Harrison smile faltered for a moment, before it return. Aaah, she jested. Lady Aurelia liked to jest, she was simmply teasing him as he teased Lady Adeline, how cruel of her! Harrison jokingly thought. “You jest a lot my lady, but I do think we need to be more
serious, as this situation is serious” He leaned down to whisper, “They miss you, they are asking when you shall be back.” He said, before standing straight as he looked all over the place. “People are beginning to look our way, Lady Ellis, so then shall we dance before we cause another scandal?” He had the confident smile he always had, forwarding a hand towards her for her to take. His eyes never left her’s as short and tiny as she was- and Harrison always found her height amusing, compared to his height that was often called godly or titanic, her height was that of a small pocket statue.
