He blinked once——stepped back from the door of the cage, seeming to sober somewhat, hands folding behind his back as he spoke. “As you like. But he is altogether harmless, Mama——I assure you.”
“---I should very much like that to be true, sincerely, but---I am not sure it is altogether possible. Please---be careful.”
“Oh? What is it, then? His appetite? God’s m’life——what has David been telling you?”
“---Valentine, please, I do not find this amusing.”
“That he is——very quickly. Very quickly, indeed. But is that not all the more reason for you to see him the sooner? He shan’t be as pretty once he reaches his full size, I reckon.”
“---it is not his appearance that concerns me.”
“And so I shall! But should you not also extend them to him personally? He has so been looking forward to meeting you, and after all, he may well be the closest thing to a child I shall ever rear beneath this roof.”
She remained quite still, gloved fingers tightly interwoven, eyes fixed on the little she could see of the creature amidst the shadows. “---I am not sure that is wise, Valentine. Is he not growing very quickly---?”
“Oh, indeed——indeed, but he’s not yet got a good look at you! And he has been so eagerly awaiting the chance since first I told him you would be the most beautiful woman upon whom he has ever set eyes!”

“---I can see him very well from here, thank you.”
Goodnight, then.

Can we get a Ross RPer up in here, please? :)
NO WAIT, please don’t be scared off by this intimidating picture. We would love to see more Poldark RPers! We will shower you with affection, and would absolutely love to help you with graphics/icons or anything else you’d like!
There are soooo many primary characters from the show and the books who there are not active blogs for (Ross, anyone?), and of course we’d be equally happy to see side characters or original characters! If you love Poldark, please take pity on us. We’re fun, I swear.
