very late, my apologies :') but here to tag this if you still wanna!!

[ her days are often much the same, delightful sprinklings of activity with their siblings ever since the lot of them arrived in the city. anthony could guess what she might have done. surely she's told him of her usual daily activities already. yet daphne will regale him with them, suspicious of simon's absence but able to keep her expressions even. she hums softly upon hearing anthony had been riding, where he'd stopped, how he'd run into the duke. her tone is soft, warm when she speaks. ]

It was an uneventful day at the gallery. Regular tasks, you know. I have considered if Mr. Spector might wish to organize events soon, but have yet to inquire. [ a few beats, her hands resting on the menus. ]

The Duke had contemplated sharing one of these larger dishes, that seem to have an array of spices, with the two of us. You are certain he will not be returning tonight?

[ totally chill about asking. ]

[meetatdawn]

[ So......chill....just truly having a regular one here. But that's alright, he does intend to tell her, he just didn't want to do so over the phone. ]

I am certain he is not returning tonight because I told him not to. He and I fought.

[ totally child about telling. ]

[sheening]

[ ah, there it is. daphne turns her attention fully to him, brows lifting. ]

May I ask what your argument was about?

[ or is that confidential, need to know, info? ]

[meetatdawn]

Of course you may.

[ But that doesn't make it any easier to tell her. How they'd almost fucked again, how Anthony has realized how much he loves Simon and is trying to do everything he can to simply not feel that, because that seems even worse still than the sex. ]

You have seen the water all over the city, that is causing people to take their clothes off, I imagine?
