"I'll wear the blue one, Mr. Delancey adores me in blue, and he'll be the first man I escort this afternoon. And that lace, yes that one with the pearls, we'll use that to help keep half my hair up. Mr. Delancey also likes it when my hair is down. He likes to smell it." She gave a roll of her eyes when her servant gave her a knowing look. "Which reminds me, two extra sprays with perfume ought to do. In the back of my hair, yes, like that. Oh.. what am I telling you for?" Renna said with a sigh and shake of her head. "We've been doing this for years now, Lainy. But yes.. come, come, the corset needs to be tighter. All the men like their women with small waists and ample bosoms." And as she turned around she drew her hair over her shoulder and waited for her maid to cinch her tight.

It had been a good long year, too long in fact, (and perhaps, one could count it was MANY years) and with the out break of war, amongst other things, was paying it's toll on the poor courtesan. It seemed the market for men escorts was sky rocketing, while the one for women was dwindling. Though she had only lost two clientele, it was enough to start hurting her income, and she had to start looking for more men if she was to sustain this sort of life- and to keep herself close to Oakley.

Things had been going good for them- except the terrible fight they had had after this wedding. But she always felt foolish for it. Oakley couldn't help his position in life any more than she could. But that didn't stop her from being jealous. And with news he had a child, she had grown quiet and distant from him. She penned him, saying her excuse was 'He should spend time with his child.' But in all honesty, she was rethinking everything in her life. Yes, she adored and loved Oakley Brennick with her entire being-
but now that he was a father, things....
Seemed different, and she wasn't rightly sure it was fair to his child for them to be fooling around. He needed a respectable father, or so her aunt lectured.

Somehow her aunt had survived all of this years. She had gotten uglier as the years passed, appearing much like a crow. Though it was said this illness woud be the death of her, the poor old woman held on, seeming to want to continue to dictate Renna's life as much as she could. But it must've been her time to go, for the moment Renna thew on her bonnet and stepped out into the daylight, a man approached from a carriage and informed her-

"Your Aunt Maudy is dead."


The day went on as usual, she in her bouncy blue colors while bouncing on Mr. Delancey's lap. Then later that afternoon she met up with Mr. Quiggly, who couldn't just have a quicky in his study, no- of course not. He had some grand scheme to have her all tied up for that afternoon, and not that she was finally free to go and see to her Aunt's estate, she was itching at the rope burns and huffing about as she made her way into the house.

It was odd to see it, nothing seemed out of place, except on the bed her Aunt lay, unmoving, and quite cold and white. She stared listlessly at the woman's corpse for a time before sighing and ordering Lainy to cancel all of her appointments for the week as she went about preparing things for the funeral and the wake.

And it seemed just about everyone showed up for it- but most of them just wanting to pay their respects to Renna, for not many liked Maudy, but Renna herself was seen as a rare jewel, even to those who hadn't been her client, and so she was not surprised to see both Mr. Delancey and Mr. Quiggly in attendance as she politely entertained them both and went about the house mingling among all of the guests.

SO she should not have been surprised to see him- but had it not been so long...
she would not have acted the way she did. For the moment she caught sight of Oakley Brennick, she dropped her cup of tea as it landed with a clank and splash at her feet. And only then did she make a fuss and ask her servant to clean it up, before she exclaimed how she wasn't feeling well, and disappeared up the steps and away from the stuffy crowd.

She had been prepared to face her Aunt's death- but NOT to see Oakley again. At least not yet. And oh, how was she to explain herself!? They had made so many promises, yet here she was- shying away from him out of fear things should, would, ought to change because he had become a father-

and it was at this thought she finally found herself crying when, all throughout he funeral, she hadn't shed a single tear.

He didn't know why he was here, in all honesty.  He had just as many other important places to be.  And if he were to continue being honest with himself, Oakley at all didn't even like the woman that most people knew as "Aunt Maudy."  In fact, if it wasn't for her, he would likely have led a very different life than he was right now.  Well, that wasn't exactly fair of him.  If anything, Oakley knew the direction of his life wasn't entirely her fault – though Ansgar smite him now, if he ever were to free her from blame – and he knew Michael Brennick, his father, had just as much a part in it as she did.  Perhaps more so than she.  He'd never had the guts he knew Charles had to stand up to him, to speak his mind.  Or even Brandur – "Bren" – for that matter.

Oakley sighed, burying his nose in his drink and licked his lips quietly as he stayed in his little corner.  In fact he knew the only reason he was here was to pay his last respects, even if he did hate the bitch.  Despite the birth of his child, he had plenty to be unhappy about these days.  Michael had taken sick, at least he wasn't the usual enormity of strength Oakley had been accustomed too.  Charles was as stuck-up as ever, and Bren...well, that didn't need any explanation at all.

It wasn't often Oakley allowed himself to become so bitter, despite the fact there were few things he ever looked forward to in life.  He still had his garden, he had his wife, and his daughter and for most men that would be enough.  But even now, in the cusp of his twenties, he was feeling the weight of life suddenly penning him in upon his set course.  And like always, there was nothing he could do about it.  Where that might not have bothered him in years before, now he felt exhausted, breathless, and trapped.

He hadn't noticed Renna saw him, for he was in tuned out conversation with an old woman who was sobbing into a napkin and blew her nose loudly in his ear.  "That's nice," he murmured and patted her on the shoulder though he didn't really know what she was talking about and he departed from her company.  At his words, however, he suspected what he said wasn't at all taken well and she only sobbed harder.  Well, he supposed the seclusion of the library would be better suited for one such as he.

And that's exactly where he went.

She needed air, and she needed it now. Throwing open the doors to her balcony, she rushed outside. But she only got a few feet before she gasped at the presence of another woman out there, and accidently knocked over one of the flowers she had been attending to for years now- a gift from Oakley. And it just so happened the pot smashed just outside the library window, all the while Renna was exclaiming, "Jinai!"

The blonde haired woman smirked as she puffed away at some opiate laced drug.
"Hey, Renna. She blew a casual breath of smoke her way." Hope you don't mind I came. I wasn't sure exactly how to go about getting into the place, so I climbed in through the balcony.

Renna blinked, and hurriedly brushed at her tears. That of which made the other woman make a face.

"You ain't crying now are ya? I thought your Aunt was a bitch."

Renna gave a light laugh to that comment and continued to brush her tears away.
"Yes, you're right. But it's hardly tears for her I shed."

Oakley had been pouring through a peculiar book when he saw the smashed flower pot on the other side of the library gazebo just outside door.  He didn't pay much attention to it however as he turned back to the book and settled into a heavy chair.  He did jump however when he heard a voice out from behind him.

"The Two Lives of Sir Edward Everain," Jude read from across the room as he approached with his own wine glass in hand.  He settled down into a chair across from Oakley and he smiled at the young man.  "Now, now, no need to be shy.  I'm here to pay my respects, same as you Master Brennick."  Jude bowed his head.

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Armand.  I didn't expect anyone to show up in here as well.  I can't help but feeling I don't know half the people in this place," Oakley said with a shrug.

"Nobody ever does," Jude sympathized and took a sip of wine.  "You see, some people come here because they actually care, and the others, well they show up to make a show of it and to see who they can get closer too and who they can stiff.  If you'll pardon my phrasing."

Oakley gave a sheepish laugh and looked back at his book.  "If it weren't for Maudy, maybe I'd be married to Renna, y'know," he commented in a light voice.

"Maybe," Jude said with a nod.  "But I'm sure your father would have found some way or reason to keep you apart.  He never did like that girl, or her family.  Everbody knows it."

"Yeah, then who are you crying over?" Jinai asked directly, and Renna sighed and turned away, frowning as she realized the flower had been smashed. "OH!" ANd she rushed away, down the steps nad then outside, scrambling to keep the flower together while more tears were being shed.

Jinai peered down at her, still smoking away at her opiate.
"Don't you need a pot or something for that?" But at suhc a suggestion, the girl broke down in sobs again, causing Jinai's frown to deepen. Great, she wasn't expecting to have to actually comfort anyone.

"Here, I'll bring a pot down." And a moment later, she was beside Renna, who was still crying away over the plant.

Jude frowned thoughtfully at Oakley and shrugged.  "Women.  Who's to say a man has to understand them to appreciate them," he said idly, downing the rest of his glass.

"But she just stopped talking to me, and...well, I guess you're right.  I mean, it all happened kind've fast, the wedding and the baby and now...I just feel so bad.  I wish there was something I could say to her or do for her to show her I didn't forget.  But when someone pushes you away, how can you do anything about it?"  Oakley didn't even see the woman outside of the glass door sobbing over the flower and he shrugged again.

"I figured she just didn't want to see me.  So I tried not to make myself more noticeable than I had to," he finished.

"Sometimes Oakley, a woman just needs her space.  But most of the time when she pushes you away, that just means she wants you to pursue even more.  And sometimes they cry over flower pots."

Oakley shrugged again and nodded in understanding, and continued to read quietly despite that, not even looking up at the window.

"So, I take it this has.nothing to do with your aunt... Oh, is it boy trouble? Just tell him to.stop.finishing so early if that's the problem. Though you can't blame him. Most men don't have stamina."

"It's not that!" Renna cried.

"Then what, is a client not paying you..."

Renna shook her head.
"No, no... It is Oakley but I... I don't know. I just feel... Terrible now knowing he's married, has a child yet we.keep fooling around."

Jinai blinked, then laughed.
"Is that it? Shit, Renna, who cares if he's.got a.brat... Well, unless you're fucking in the same room the baby's trying to nap in... But I thought his.marriage was arranged anyway?"

"It was but I... And I know it sounds foolish, but I... I'm still jealous."

And Jinai laughed again.

Jude's brows raised at Oakley inherent ignorance, and he nodded to the younger man.  "Well, I'll take my leave of you then, and leave you to your book," he murmured with a bow of his head and moved toward the glass door, walking through the other side of it and closer it behind him.  Only when his eyes found Renna did Oakley's expression change and he gave a slight gasp.

But despite her state, he made no move to stand and instead remained seated as if he didn't notice her at all.

Jude looked at Jinai with hard eyes and grabbed the smoke from her mouth, throwing it to the ground and dashing it under his boot.  "That's enough of that," he snapped and turned to Renna.  "Dear, you're going to dirty your dress sitting in the soil like that."

Renna sniffled and shook her head.
"Oh, Jude. You know the dress is black. The dirt will brush off and not stain."

But Jinai glared at Jude.
"What are you doing here?" Though even she wasn't dumb enough not to know. She knew Jude would be there. It's why she stayed on the balcony, away from the crrowd.

"I'm here to support Renna," Jude said plainly, through a not-so-disguised eyeroll combined with a raised brow.  "And keep certain opportunists away from her.  Renna, dear, please don't cry.  You have yourself fussed over nothing.  You see there's a young man sitting right in there wondering if he ought to've come at all.  And I'd put money on the fact that he's even more nervous, and upset than you are.  I suppose Master Brennick just has had a lot of practice of not showing it.  But you should go talk to him.  And I will help tend to your flower."

"He was clearly upset from the looks of things.  He didn't think you wanted to see him anymore.  But even if he disliked your aunt, clearly, he knew he ought to pay his respects, more out of his devotion to you, than any sentiment toward her.  He said you weren't speaking to him anymore, and he's intuitive enough to know it's likely from his newfound family.  But those are my words, I suppose.  You should speak to him, find out for yourself."

Renna's lips remained open for a time as she digested those words. She knew Oakley well enough as to why he'd come. And only Oakley would be so brave to appear yet shy away from.her at the same time. But she only had her self.to. blame. She was so outwardly voicing her opinions and her own woes, she knew she was guilty for, on more than one occassion, did she upset Oakley even knowing how he was. He wasn't anything like her, and having grown up with him, she knew him better than most. It still didn't mean it didn't hurt.
"He always did enjoy the quiet..." She said softly, still hesitant to.approach him, even as she noted his form from.the window.

Oakley did his best to refrain from looking up at her though he could see her from the corner of his eye.  Jude on the other hand moved beside Renna and put an arm around her waist.  "Though he doesn't seem it, he's quite anxious to see you again, after all that has happened.  He's quite sure you hate his guts," Jude murmured and gave her a squeeze.  "Go on, now, speak to him."

Jude leaned in and kissed her cheek before turning around and tending to the work of setting the flower back into a new pot.  "Get off your big butt, Jinai, and give me a hand."

"Yes, alright," she said with a nod, and peered just once inside before slipping into the library. Upon seeing okaley shifting so uneasily upon the settee, she gave him a small smile and a ,"Hey."

While.elsewhere, Jinai cut Jude a look.
"You know that was a perfectly good cigarette."

Oakley's eyes were hidden behind a puff of curly hair when he finally turned to her and blinked a little.  "Hi," he murmured and gently closed the book, turning his attention fully to Renna.  "How are...you doing?"

Jude peered up at Jinai and gave her a smirk.  "I'm sure I have something better you could be puffing your lips on," he muttered, scooping the dirt up and filling the pot with it before completely repotting the flower.

"See? You did it all yourself!" Jinai said with a laugh. "And I ain'tkissing your ass, so don't get any ideas."

Renna gave a small smile and took a seat beside him and peered up into his warm eyes.
"Not well." she said, her eyes still a bit red from crying. "I've missed you."

Oakley instinctively took her hands in his and squeezed them.  "I'm sorry Renna...but you never answered any of my letters," he murmured with a deep frown.  "I thought you didn't want to see me ever again."

Jude took a handful of unused soil and threw it at Jinai's ass, staining her bottom with it and smirking at her all the same.

"That's because I didn't," she said, hot tears beginning to trail down her cheeks as she looked into his face. "Oh, Oakley, I've been acting so foolish. But I can not help but feel a suffocation beneath this guilt. We sneak around, meeting in the dark, behind backs....  and now you're father. You've got a child, Oakley. How is that far to your child to have a father who can't be supporting of his wife?"

She had grown up lucky- her parents had loved one another, and to think of things in any other light made her tremble as a few more tears rolled down her cheeks.
"And Aunt Maudy never stopped hounding me over it... even until the day she died."

Jinai gasped.
"JUDE! What the hell are you doing!?" And in retaliation, she threw dirt at his head.

Oakley dropped his head.  "I wish you were my wife," he murmured.  "I wish you were the mother of my child," he added all the same.  "I love her too, my daughter, as much as I could love any child.  But..."  He shook his head.  "Just because so much happened, doesn't mean I wanted to stop seeing you.  But I don't want to feel like those other men who hire you, who neglect their families, their children.  I didn't even want to get married."

Jude turned her around and threw more dirt at her butt, before vaulting off into the bushes.
