It was the loveliest season of the year, where ribbons and viels will reign and debutantes took center stage. Harrison found himself in a fancy slim fit black blazer with white ruffles on the front. His hair was like the sea filled with waves and his scar stood handsomely on his cheeks with his stubble bear. Aaah his scar, Harrison can still remember the day he got the scar that now decorated his cheeks like a mark. Such, a very memorable day and Harrison had not cared that he got scarred even though his mother wailed in distress, his sisters in worry and his brothers in surprise. Harrison had thought that the scar suited him perfectly, it created a visual of Harrison that it quite liked, it told a story and it did have a story so it told what it was supposed to tell. Besides, the ladies also seemed to like it.
He had a drink in his hand, as he was near a table, he stood and took a sip from it, waiting to see who he would first or have a last dance with, the diamond of course. But who shall be the diamond? Who shall the queen announced? It really made him think, hopefully not Angelina, his sister because she was debuted this year and now stood besides anxiously. He had hoped it was not Angelina, as it would be improper to dance with her but though if she was he would dance with dance with her in their gardens, but additionally he did not want her get much attention from the males here as Harrison deemed them unfit for his dear Angelina. Angelina, and his other sisters shall marry fine respectful males who Harrison could happily call ‘brother’ and his brothers shall marry fine women who he can call ‘sisters’ He would not make a pick for them of course, for neither his sisters or brothers as their choice of fiance was theirs and theirs alone, but if they were too…unfit then Harrison would not approve and as he was now the head of his house with his father far long gone, his words were more than final.
Talking about people, Harrison wondered of Ilyas, he had heard that his closest of friends had return and yet had not thought it would be proper to come see him. His eyes scanned the room and he saw Ilyas, Harrison wondered if he should approach him, confront him and demand for answers but he did not wish to create a scene on such a day, especially when to Angelina it was her day, her debut day, ah yes Harrison should be less of himself, Angelina and his mother had told him, don’t do too many scandalous things. Harrison had almost wanted to take offense to that, but he knew of it as the truth so he only did the rolling of eyes but a curve of the lips that curved into a smile had taken place. Aaah Harrison wondered who shall be the diamond? Of the ladies he knew debuting today that were not his sister, there was Lady Margo, a beautiful lady belonging to the Hastington family, though he could not see them right now where they perhaps late? There was lady Donatella, who would truthfully be Harrison choice for a diamond this season, she was as fair as day and her italian origins, which also existed in Harrison made drew him in. He was friends with her brothers too; Dean, Leon and Enzo, such fine names Harrison would say. Though, Harrison doubts that the lady would like the attention that will come from being a diamond. There was her highness Lady Belle Fleur, who seemed a likely choice if not for behavior that is at times considered improper, Harrison thought of her behavior as very proper though, she was unique and truly a Belle, so the question of would Lady Belle be the Belle of the season? Then again she could sabotage herself so she would not, Harrison knows hearing it all the time from Thomas and Louis, and seeing it himself that Belle’s opinions on marriages and men were less than favorable. There was lady Adeline, such a fine choice for a diamond, and she seemed like she would love but be flustered by the attention, yes Adeline would be his true pick but was not the youngest ellis making her debut this season as well? Her sister, Aurelia was a diamond before and Harrison had danced with her as tradition followed, so would the young Lady of the Ellis household be crowned diamond?
If Harrison had to assume who shall be diamond, even with non titled people making their wave in society this year (He thought of that as intriguing, and he agreed with it especially since the Brantley family would be coming. His mother would be so overjoyed, The brantleys were dear to her and as Harrison was an extension of his mother, it would not be wrong to say Harrison was fond of them too, though Ilyas did not like them much. The brantley family were the reason his maternal family did not have to suffer so he is thankful to them,.
He took another sip of his drink, watching each lady present and his sister, ah angelina fabolous as ever and still he hoped to dear God she was not the diamond. Lady Maisie was as gentle as ever in her presentation, Lady Belle as intruging as ever- he had never danced with her he wondered how it would be to dance with her? She would step on his foot a lot of times he guessed, amusinng. And adeline, Adeline was as graceful as day, blowing him in aah he knew it! She shall be diamond and he was right, for Adeline was diamond. He shall dance with her. He knew her already so there was not much to ask but teasing her while shes the diamond would be amusing. He loved riling her up, she was as gorgeous as any flower when she pouted. He looked towards Atlas, wondering how he felt about all this and then wondered, shall he dance with Adeline now or wait? He had to ask a favor from someone first after all.
He looked everywhere, and when he finally found her he smiled, making his way towards her. She was away from her family, her brother who Harrison had heard returned so this was perfect. He tapped on her shoulders, and as she turned he gave her a sly grin.
“My lady” he called her, putting a hand on his chest as he bowed, the smile never leaving his face. "it’s been long " he whispered, because really it has.
“i have completed what was asked of me and I have a thing to ask you. Shall we dance?” because if they simply stayed her and talked, it will draw the attention of many.
