The butler opened the door, of corse he knew of their unexpected guest, that was after all his job. "Welcome Lady Abella to the Kalvenime Manor. Sir Aucx and the rest are in the dining hall. May I escort you?"
Katelyn was too distracted to notice the arrival and noise coming from the front of the manor. She began on her poached salmon, nearly cutting a piece out and taking a bite.

"Thank you sir." She thanked him before asking, "Where might the others be?" Arabella did not want to just stand in the foyer looking looking lost, how embarrassing. She was still in awe at the house. Of course, her mother liked to decorate, but Arabella like to look at other people's homes. Possibly get ideas for their own, or her room if she was to go shopping for furniture at one point in time. She hoped they were not serving breakfast as Arabella had already ate. But if they were having tea that shouldn't hurt. She had been craving tea for the longest time: since she woke up today.

"Yes, I have must have been eleven the last time we met," Matthias nodded, taking a sip of his tea before continuing, "I have a law office in London, somewhat successful. I'm still too young to be well known, of course."
[[ blah sorry i'm so tired. ]]

"They are currently in the Breakfast Hall eating." The butler spoke as he escorted Lady Arabella to the Breakfast hall. "Would you like me to call over the First Footman for your meal or would you prefer tea?"
Katelyn was surprised to see the butler pull out a seat for Lady Arabella. "Had you sent word of your coming we would have waited to start meal. My Arabella, you look splendid." She greeted happily once the butler had finished speaking.

Arabella bit her lip in thought before responding to the Butler, "Uriah think I'll be fine with just tea for now. Thank you." Arabella fixed her skirts once she sat down by Katelyn, and responded to her compliment, "Thank you, but I honestly do not like the dress. You however look nice." She complimented her back. As it was the polite thing to do, and because she did like her dress today as well. "What have you been doing recently though? Is there something I should plan for?" Arabella hoped there was an event of sorts, she needed to get out as she was sick of reading to pass the time. There were only so many words one's mind can take in before growing bored.

"Have you not got word? We sent you an invitation not a week ago! It must have got lost. My, this is not good." Katelyn said, taking a moment to think. "I know. After meal, let us go into town and find a suitable dress for th Autumn Ball tonight." She decided, finishing right as the Fist Footman set down a cup of tea for Arabella before leaving them once again.

"Wonderful, I would have had a week to prepare but now I only have a couple hours. My brother probably decided to be a pain like usual and hide my letters." Arabella rolled her eyes. She hated her brother sometimes. There is only one time out of the year she and her 13 year old brother can get along, and that was Christmas. But at least,their mother tries to make his governess take him out to do things as to not cause trouble in the house. She kept saying it was just a phase but they all knew very well that it was not just a 'phase'. It was horrible personality.

"Now don't look so glum. We'll find you the most beautiful dress in all of London." Katelyn said before returning to her food. She took one last sip of her tea and decided she couldn't wait any longer. She looked at her half eaten meal and decided if she was going to fit into those tight corsets tonight for the ball she shouldn't eat another bite of the meal. "Let us take out leave." She decided, getting up. Aucx got up as well, it was proper for the men to stand when a woman got up from the table until the lady left or came to sit down.

Arabella perked up a bit when her friend said that, "Are you sure? I hope it wouldn't be too much trouble. I'd hate to be a bother..." Arabella knew Katelyn would not mind, but it was the polite thing to ask anyhow. She took another sip of her tea to act nonchalant about the whole thing, something she needed to work on. That's what her mother told her. She was always on her daughter about manners. It's not like Arabella didn't try, sometimes it just becomes difficult to remember what fork to use, or fold you hands in a certain way when sitting down. Arabella occasionally thought of it as rubbish, but that was something that she could not change, and so she needed to live with it.

"May I join the both of you?" Estella said, standing as Matthias did, softly pushing in her chair and looking to the two women. She had her gown, but she would love to go shopping for the other woman's. Plus, she wanted time to get to know her future sister, and she knew her absence would give Matthias and Aucx a bit of time to get to know each other.

"I do not mind." Katelyn said happily before turning to Estella. "That would be splendid! We would love for you to join us." She smiled and walked to the hallway and waited for the others, the First Footman walking over with the Second Footman who looked almost identical to the First Footman, the two looking almost like twins except for the fact they had different eye colors. "James will accompany you in your shopping expedition." Normally the Forst Footman would come with them, but it seemed like he wanted the Second Footman to get some experience in escorting. "Thank you, that would be great."

Arabella stood up when she realised that everyone else was. She was hot with embarrassment but made sure not to let it show. "Of course you can come. When it comes to shopping the more the merrier right?" Arabella smiled at Estella. She seemed nice, they all were. Katelyn and Arabella have been friends for a long time and she was happy to meet Kateyln's future sister-in-law. She seemed to have good taste in clothes too, it wouldn't hurt to get her advice on outfits as well. The thing she was worried about the most was her hair. She usually tells her maid a week before a ball to think of hairstyles for her, but on such short notice she may not have the time.

Katelyn gestured for the other girls to come and she walked to the manors entrance and the butler opened the door, a horse-drawn carriage already waiting for them. Their butler always seemed to know when someone was at the door and what everyone was doing at every moment. She pulled on her bonnet and gloves, after all, a lady almost never left the house without gloves and a hat of some sort.
