 Estella Lillith Edwards
Some of the greater things in life
Are unseen
Thats why you close your eyes
When you kiss, cry, or dream...
Estella blinked in slight surprise at the girl before her. 'So this is the Saxton girl everyone spoke ill of.' she thought before sitting down and giving Sheerona a smile "As best as I can enjoy it....How about yourself? Must be....a shock being thrown into this right?" Stella asked and then placed her champagne glass on the table. "Well, it is actually a shock to us all I think...."
The girl didn't seem bad all. Well to Stella at least, and this is when she realized why not so many people came to sit with her. Not even Mr. Saxton was sitting with his daughter, if she remembered correctly the man was with friends enjoying the evening. Stella slightly looked down at her lap remembering the few things she heard from her parents about Mr. Saxton's "love child." That the girl's mother seduced the man, that the girl was ill mannered and what not, and that the mother even threatened him if he didn't take care of the girl.
She wondered if those rumors were even true but she didn't dare ask them. She would rather enjoy the company and befriend the girl rather than have such notions in her head. Afterall, they were indeed in the same predicament.
We were given:
Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk.
Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen.
But why only one heart?
Because the other was given to someone else.
For us to find.
Stella......

She seemed like a very nice girl just like everyone said she was. And she was going to be her sister-in-law, which added a nice touch to it. At the comments Jaime made about her brother, she laughed quietly behind her hand. When she finished, she put down her hand. "But, from what I heard from, I heard that he was a womanizer, besides the fact that he is nice and caring." Behind Jaime, she could see her brother, Rupert, talking with a guy. She didn't know it was Gabriel, but she asked Jaime to see if she was right. "And I think I see your brother talking with my brother if I am correct. He's by the bar, if I'm not mistaken." ● ● ● ☆ T h e o n l y q u e s t i o n i s ☆ ───────────────────── ◇ D o e s s h e h a v e t o g e t m a r r i e d t o a m a n s h e d o e s n ' t k n o w ? ◇

Jaime Jameston  
Finishing her water, she smiled and she took Etoile's hand, "come on you should meet him" plus she was curious about her brother. When they came to the two boys she grinned, "Hola" oh how she loved being silly. Jaime gestured to Etoile, "Gabe this is Etoile, and Etoile this is my annoying, goofy, older brother" she grinned happily. No one was actually normal in their family. Not even her cat. She looked over at the other male and smiled, "hehe"
Will my wish riding on the wind of the aurora reach you?
I"m sure it"ll make it there, because I definitely want to see you again.
Even if our two lives are beneath a star-crossed sky
Our hearts are one
and we both embrace the same wish to see each other.

She noticed Jaime look at her brother and smiled back. "No. He's not a womanizer and thank God for that."
Etoile then felt Jaime grab her hand and take her to her brother and to Jaime's brother. When they were in front of the boys, Jaime first told who Etoile was and who her brother, Gabe, was. She made a slight curtsy and smiled. "It is very nice to meet you, Gabe. Oh, and this is my brother Rupert." She gestured towards Rupert. "Rupert, this is Gabe's younger sister, Jaime." She wondered how a relantionship will form through them since they had somewhat meet before but not in a civilized way. ● ● ● ☆ T h e o n l y q u e s t i o n i s ☆ ───────────────────── ◇ D o e s s h e h a v e t o g e t m a r r i e d t o a m a n s h e d o e s n ' t k n o w ? ◇

Gabriel John Jameston.....that is my name.....but please call me....Gabe
"Well aren't you rude today little Jaime. Disrupting our conversation" Gabe said, mentioning himself and Rupert. His eyes wandered to Etoile and he lifted his eye brow slightly. The girl was small and pretty, almost like his sister and well mannered. He bowed out of habit at Etoile. "Nice to meet you Etoile. Yes, your brother seems like a good man" he said with a small chuckle nodding towards Rupert.
He stared at Etoile for a moments more before looking at Jaime with a smile. 'How did I end up with such an innocent girl' he thought in slight surprise and wonder. 'Is it to counter my own persona. My womanizing side to her innocent side'. This made Gabe feel awful in a way. The girl could have been paired with much better that himself, but she would be stuck with him in an 'un'holy matrimony.

Sheerona Elizabeth Saxton  "A shock certainly, but its nice to sit back and listen to the music. They have a darling selection." Sheera seemed to avoid the subject of teh marriage, she was most likely feeling as every woman and man in this charade felt. Scared.
"I'm sorry if i sound rude but, Its been so long since anyone has talked to me at one of these silly functions." She laughed, her cheeks a soft rose color as she put a hand to her mouth to stifle the noise. "I could tell by the look you know who I am. "

"Edwards...yes, that is right" Rupert managed to say just before the Jameston girl arrived before them. In part the young Claymore male was please that the girls had arrived. Tension could have formed between them, what with Gabriel being betrothed to his younger sister and his colourful history. He nodded to towards Jamie and smiled "It is rare to find a woman quite so forward, Miss Jameston. However, you do so in such a way that no man could be offended" he half-chided, half complimented her. He winked at Etoile, his little signal that she would be OK for he was there for her even if this Gabe may not be.
He loved his sister dearly. Next to the business she was the most important thing to him. He was going to miss listening to the chimes and sweet melodies she played on the piano. He was going to miss the way that she seem cheerful in any situation. He would miss other little things too. In the eyes of her brother Etoile was too good for any man.

Stella slightly blushed as she was caught off guard by the statement. She only nodded trying to catch her voice. "Well yes. Not wanting to be rude or anything but you do stand out in this throng of people." Stella said with a light smile. "There had been rumors of what you looked like, how you might have acted and well your life really....I was never one to pay attention to rumors. I waited until I read the inside rather than the cover of a book" Stella said, using a silly analogy she heard her grandmother say one time.
She let her eyes stray over the faces of everyone in the crowd, tapping her foot lightly to the music being played. The party was peaceful but not for long she felt. She looked over to the bar once again and noticed now that the two men she saw earlier were talking with two girls. She then turned once again to look at Sheerona.
We were given:
Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk.
Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen.
But why only one heart?
Because the other was given to someone else.

Jaime Jameston Jaime looked at her brother and she giggled, "Oh like you were talking about something important" she looked over at Rupert and blinked a little. Aw he was nice. "I speak my mind" Jaime shrugged a little with a smile, "Now! We are all going to be family" she gave a huge smile and she looked up at Gabe and she gave him a look that said, 'you better behave yourself'. No girl wants a womenizer as a husband. Jaime could barely stand it. Jaime cleared her throat and she smiled and she looped her arm around Etoile's, "I always wanted a sister" she turned and smiled at her. "Being the middle child of two brothers is really frustrating" she grinned over at Gabe. "But it's fun at times" Still.. she wondered where he younger brother is. Maybe he's asleep?

Sheerona Elizabeth Saxton "Rumors are so childish." Sheera smiled. "But it does make life interesting. I thank you, of course, for giving me a chance... Girls are particularly cruel when it comes to 'he-said-she-saids' you know." She smiled and looked over to the bar where Stella looked.
"I shouldn't keep you any longer, you must be wanting to go off and enjoy yourself. Theres no reason to linger about with a 'naughty child' such as me." She smiled, standing and giving a graceful curtsey, her different physique certainly giving it a kind of other worldly charm. "And i believe i will go tend to my thirst. Perhaps i shall see you again Young Lady Edwards." Her lavender dress seemed to flood the floor, as if she were a flower turned upside down.

"Oh. Sorry, I was just staring because I noticed that those two girls are just like us in this whole thing" Stella said standing up after Sheerona giving he a small curtsey. "But it was a pleasure meeting you. Just look for me when you'd like to talk. I don't think we'll be able to leave this ball until after everything is laid out" Stella said with a smile as she grabbed her glass to drink from it.
She wasn't going to latch onto Sheerona just to have company. Stella should probably go and talk with others. Maybe the four standing near the bar or maybe go find some family. "I'll let you go get your drink" she said with a smile.

Sheerona Elizabeth Saxton "Thank you again." She waved a friendly wave, picking up the hem of her dress and making her way to the bar, careful to stay away from the other guests and getting herself her own tall glass of red wine. She was not a heavy drinker like her father, but tonight Sheera felt that she needed to indulge just a bit.
She thanked the man behind the bar and made her way to the French doors leading to the balcony. She quickly slipped out, shivering in the cold as she looked up to the sky. "Anything is better then being in there... Even if Stella is nice, it is unfair to make the others turn on her..."

♭ ♪ ♫ ๑ ஐ L.aurence K.indlehorn ஐ ๑ ♫ ♪ ♭ 
The camera is the tool by which I capture the world...
The day was finally here.
He could remember how less then a few months ago after coming home from college, how he had been told about this whole farce and his particular role in it. A wife... He was only twenty-three, in his young prime as a man and just getting comfortable in his career. It seemed like a part of his free-will was being stolen from him, but he knew that his parents had hopefully the best intentions in what they were forcing him to do.. They knew he wouldn't say no. He owed it to them to at least give the arrangement a try. It wasn't the dark ages where you were stoned in the streets for wanting to leave your spouse after marriage, so it wasn't like in the off chance it didn't work out that he and whoever he was engaged to that they couldn't divorce on good terms and move on with their lives.
His name was Laurence Kindlehorn. He was handsome.. Strangely so; pale in complexion with a dark reddish-brown hair in some wild unruly style, and an alluring set of pale olive green eyes. His eyes were likely one of his most captivating features aside from his tall lean form and his laid back disposition. The man was rough around the edges, but had a grungy charm most women found irresistible. Not to be misleading, but Laurance wasn't really as much of a badass as he seemed.
He was an artist, heart and soul.
He dressed today in a long sleeve white shirt that smelled faintly of lavender fabric softener - probably fresh out of the laundry - with one sleeve rolled up on his left arm, a pair of black slacks wielding a few worn-down holes on the knees and thigh of the front of the legs. A plain black vest and a pair of simple boots helped complete the outfit he wore. Well, almost complete it, as the real coupe-de-grande was a dark red tie loose around his neck, hanging just below one of the two unbuttoned buttons of his shirt. Laurence was left-handed. It was why he had his sleeve rolled up most of the time with classic shirts or sweaters.
The man was just coming off a commission where he was taking photos for another artist who was starting out with his band and wanted someone like Kindlehorn to take the band photos for their website and merchandise. It was late now, he should have arrived at the ball a long time ago, but was fond of the idea that no one of significance ever showed up to an event actually on time. Walking through the halls, he finally entered the ballroom of the hosts manor where the party was being held. He knew what it was for, but he wasn't that interested in parties. The sooner it was over, the better. With his hands in his pants pockets, Laurence walked in the direction of the bar quietly with a calm, half-exhausted look on his face, a lit cigarette hanging crooked between his pale lips.
There were a few people, some men and a few pretty girls, standing around the bar. He was thirsty, but he didn't drink alcohol, and he walked up to the counter and knocked his hand on the furnished wood to get the barkeeps attention. "Water please." He said in a smooth, smoky tone. He will find his parents in a few minutes after he got himself situated. Not that he was looking forward to being introduced to a certain stranger today, though, so... He may as well take his time.
...And the film is the proof of the beauty I find within it.

Todd stood as a wall flower, he didn't dance and he most certainly didn't want o meet his fiancee. He wore the nice clothes and had his hair slicked back all nice, but it just felt wrong to him. He wondered what it'd be like to be a Gypsy and not have home, it must be nice to not be tied down to one place. He Looked around at the people dancing; he missed most of his dancing lessons, dancing was not his thing. Todd stood straight for m leaning on the wall, it was time to leave this pointless soiree and go do sommat interesting.
OOC: I'll post longer and with a prettier post later!

S σ ρ h i a ╬ T н o m a s [[Broken Image]]The ballroom seemed so barely lively even with the amount of people found in it. Though, it was supposed to be a meeting of some sort so of course the atmosphere would be bland. Although, it would've been nice to somehow fit into the blandness, no matter how much Sophia refused to. Just standing there was making her a sore thumb so maybe interacting herself with others might do the trick. Who knows? Maybe she might even find her cousin. Though, the possiblity of that happening would be slim to none. How was one able to find someone if they knew nothing of their appearance or even their name.
Looking around her, Sophia was using her best judgement as to what her cousin would even look like. It was easy to say that her cousin would look something like Sophia. Yet, when looking at those around her, she found no one really resembling her. Taking a deep breath in than exhaling, she was growing weary of her search. Sophia had the patience yes, but when stuck in an area so uncomfortable as she was in, it felt awkward for some reason. Like, everyone knew where and what they were doing and here was the young lady trying to find a relative of hers that she had no idea about.
Not really ready to continue on with this almost meaningless search, she found her place at an empty table a distance away. Looking at those entering and exiting the room, she had her eyes peeled for anyone that she could call family.I accomany the: Saxton DaughterMy relation: Cousin. Of course!
