Esther raised her eyebrows. "Love, our marriage has been fine," she said softly.

[LittleK]

Caleb stayed silent and drummed his fingers on his stomach. "Are you happy here? Are you... comfortable here?"

[|ĸιrα|]

(*replies over a month late to procrastinate during finals*)

"Yes, immensely. But I've missed you," Esther said, reaching for his hand to still it.

[LittleK]

(*considera whether I should reply back so you can concentrate,
But i miss this rp v. Much.
Also I miss the people aka u)

Caleb nodded and brought her fingers to his lips, “I’ve been dreaming about the day I would see you again, in my uniform. Reuniting and running into each other’s arms, and we have tha fhappily ever after.” He sighed deeply, and looked up at her.

Tom watched Jimmy walked briskly down the stairs and climbed into the car with Morgan, Jimmy had placed a kiss on her cheek rather unhappily yet he much obliged. As much he wanted to be with the woman he so longed for, he knew he valued her happiness even more.

(Also have you watched the Crown?)

[I'm probs gonna rewatch Downton over break, so I'll be hella inspired for this roleplay dontchu worry]

"We'll still have a happily ever after," Esther said with a smile and reached up with her free hand to smooth some of his hair back.

Riley got herself dressed, though she felt rather numb as she went through the motions. She went to go check on Aisling first, then took her downstairs to get breakfast for the two of them.

[LittleK]

(I’m going to hold this over you bruh
But I will try and be better at this xD)
“Some parts of me wants me to leave all this business behind, take you somewhere else where there is less trouble...” Caleb leaned into her touch and sighed on her skin.

“Morning Lady Riley, Lady Aisling...” Tom had passed them in the corridor in a pace, he was folding linens and bowing to address them.

[|ĸιrα|]

(Ahh)

"There's trouble all over, that's the way the world works," Esther smiled sadly.

"Morning, Tom," Riley smiled at him as they walked past.

[LittleK]

(Promise matey 😘)
“I wish we could hide away in our own little world...” Caleb whispered, his head leaned upon her cheek.

“Breakfast?” Tom asked hurriedly, running up the stairs.
(But asap could we skip? ((: )

[|ĸιrα|]

(Yes pls let's just skip to a few days later lmao, like afternoon.)

Esther sat in the study at the desk, going over the paperwork she's found herself in charge of during Caleb's absence. Even with him back, she still wanted to work on it so he could just focus on recovery.

Riley had decided she needed fresh air and had gone outside to the gardens. The weather was getting colder and damper, but she didn't mind it too much. It helped her to clear her head and wake herself up.

[LittleK]

Caleb had managed to get a wheelchair for himself to wheel around, so he wouldn't be troubling everyone around him. He would wheel around to the foyer where Danny would be, always busy treating the wounded soldiers. He covered his legs with his knitted blanket and decided to go outside, to get away from the hubbub. It was cold enough that he could see his breath before him, and noticed a figure that wasn't maimed. He wanted to take this opportunity and see the lake. "Excuse me!" Caleb called out, trying to catch up to them.

[|ĸιrα|]

(I'm guessing that's Riley?)

Riley turned around, her eyebrows lifted. She smiled when she saw it was Caleb, though, and stopped walking so he could reach her. "Shouldn't you be inside?" She asked him, crossing her arms.

[LittleK]

(Heh. ye)
"Yes, but since when did I ever listen to anyone?" Caleb asked wheeling beside her and smiling, looking up at her. "Goodness, you've certainly grown up haven't you?"

[|ĸιrα|]

"Caleb, you've only been gone a few months," Riley rolled her eyes but smiled. "How are you doing? How's being back?"

[LittleK]

“A sight for sore eyes that’s for sure.” Caleb replied, we wanted to spew out the adventures that we embarked on, how within those few months he went to the parts of France he would never go, the people he met, the planes... yet he sighed and kept rolling.

[|ĸιrα|]

Riley walked along beside him, fidgeting with a button on her coat. "It'll be nice to have you back. Maybe things will feel normal again, you know?"
