A fair skinned girl stood on the balcony putside of her room. She was on the second floor and her light blonde hair swayed in the soft breeze. Her dark blue dress hugged her waist and went loosely down to the top of her black shoes. Her dark blue eyes looked out on the vast forest in their estate. Her arms were down against her side and her long draping sleeves stopped a little above her ankles. The soft light of dawn warmed her exposed shoulders and the black choker that branched from the tall black trim of her dress rubbed uncomfortable against the skin of her neck. "Lady Cosette, the Breakfast Hall is set and your food awaits you." A servants voice sounded from her door. She turned and walked in, her steps making little sound on the carpet before starting on the wood, down the hallway. She held her dress so she wouldn't trip as she made her way down the stairs.
His legs were crossed, the white fabric hugging his legs leading down to his white shoes. His collared shirt was white as well with long snug sleeves that went down to light hands holding the hard red cover of a book. He sat on a chair near a window that let just enough light in that it wasn't annoying on his eyes. "Sir Shawn, the Breakfast Hall is set and your food awaits you." A female servants voice spoke. His peircing blue gaze looked up from his book and he set it on the table next to him, getting up and making his way to the Breakfast hall. He took a seat and a moment later his sister, Cosette, took a seat near him. Their parents had already eaten, he rarely saw them nor did he care. A butler set a clear glass cup down that was filled with a thick cream along with cut strawberries and had a puff of a light whip cream at the top. He set one down for his sister as well. It was set on an off-white plate and the butler set down a cup of tea for both of them. "Today we'll be having Eton Mess with a light cream and fresh strawberries along with a black tea mixed with fresh cream and a sweet powdered sugar." The male butler spoke, laying their towels on their laps. On the plates were a small spoon. Shawn picked it up, the soft light coming in through the window and landing on his messy black hair. He laid the spoon in the Eton Mess and pulled it out, taking a bite of the sweet dessert.

This looks cool and I'd love to, but you probably want someone very well versed in the English of Victorian time and I don't want to disappoint..)

Alright. Are they going to already be married?)
Magdelena, or Elena, as called as most of the people who know her, was arriving to the breakfast with her brother Matthew. She wore a pale coral colored long dress with white trimming down the front and fitting long sleeve trimmed with lace, the light pin color brought out the stormy sea blue green color of her eyes. Her long brown hair fell loose in soft ringlets down past her shoulders. Matthew walked next to her he wore a long sleeved white button up with a black long coat over fitted black pants and black shoes. They approached the mansion together and Matthew knocked on the door. (I hope that's okay?)

no, just engaged and yes, that was great)
"Cosette, was not Matthew and Elena coming?" Shawn asked, a moment before the knock of a door could be heard. "Yes! How could I have forgotten such a thing? Elliot," She said, turning to the butler. "Go and invite our guests in." She spoke before turning to the First Footman. "Replace what we have here. Bring out something suitable for our guests." The first footman picked up the still full dishes and hurried away while the tall Butler made his way towards the door and out of sight. "Cosette, don't you think you're over-reacting?" Shawn asked plainly, looking slightly annoyed. "Of corse not! It's rude to already have the food served before the guests arrive, plus, we can't serve cold tea to my betrothed." She said, both excited and nervous, knowing that the butler would return with Matthew and Elena soon. She called for a maid who touched up her blush and made sure her hair wasn't messy and left right at the Butler returned, two figures she could make out behind him. "Matthew, it's so good to see you!" She said happily, getting up to greet him.

"Cosette!"Matthews eyes lit up as her saw,"How are you"he asked with a charming smile as he kissed her hand.
Elena watched her brother and his wife to be with a fond look in her eyes. She very much adored Cosette, knowing she was a sweet girl. Her eyes flickered towards Shawn momentarily and gave him a polite smile.

Cosette smiled happily back before pulling him in a tight hug, then pulling away. "I've been great, I'm looking forward to the Autumn Ball next week." She told him happily. "How have you been?" She asked, before gesturing for him to sit down next to her before taking a seat.
Shawn gave a welcoming smile to Elena, deciding not to get up as he heard the click of shoes as the First Footman walked in and began setting the sweets on the table. "Today we'll be having Charlotte Cake served cold with a butter cookie lining and a custard filling with the slightest hint of chocolate, topped with a fresh raspberry and two blueberries each. Accompanying it, we have a tea hailing from China, Keemun Superior, its chocolate and floral flavors compliments the Charlotte Cake splendidly." The First Footman said once Cosette had finished speaking, pouring the dark tea into their dainty white tea-cups lined with red rims and a small rose-like painting in the center of each cup that were on small off-white plates.

"I've been great and I'm looking forward to it as well. Thank you for all this, but you know it wasn't necessary"Matthew said graciously, a warm smile on his face. He was appreciative of her generosity, he didn't want her to worry about impressing him or his family. He was fine with the simple things too.
Elena took a seat down at the table, thanking the footman as she took a seat,"You must be Shawn"she said softly to him, smiling.

"Yes, and you're Elena. Pleasure to finally meet you. I've seen you around, but I don't recall ever having the chance to speak to you." Shawn greeted.
"Glad to hear it," Cosette said before asking, "What do you mean? What wasn't necessary?" She asked. True, she had gotten the meal switched before her betrothed had arrived, but they probably would've had it another day, with or without them. "Is it strange to have sweets for breakfast?" She asked confused, her hand on the small fork.

Matthew laughed softly,"no of course not it isn't. I just don't want you to worry about impressing me or my sister. I'm just happy to be in your company"Matthew told her grinning.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too"Elena said smiling as she reached out to shake his hand,"it's nice to get a chance to talk to you. Cosette talks about you a lot."she told him.

"Glad to hear it. I've heard a little about you as well." Shawn said, shaking her hand before saying to both Matthew and Elena, "I apologize for the absence of our parents. Unfortunately they could not make it to breakfast. I hope you can forgive their absence this morning." Then he turned back to Elena, "I could give you a tour of our manor if you like."
Cosette couldn't contain a small giggle. "I am also happy to be in your presence." She said happily, adding, "No impressions required." She picked up the small silver fork and pushed it into the edge of the cake before pulling it up to her lip and biting the soft and sweet cake.

Elena smiled,"No, that's okay. It's perfectly fine. Matthew and I understand, sometimes circumstances change."she told him about his parents. "And a tour sounds lovely. I'd like that"she agreed as she picked up her fork to try the cake.
Matthew chuckled,"this cake is delicious, by the way. Thank you"he told her. "So how are your parents"he asked,"I see they weren't able to smoke it today".

"They are well." Cosette told Matthew simply. "They've been working on preparations for the ball." She added. She picked up the dainty tea cup and took a sip before setting it back down. "Have you chosen what you're going to wear to the ball yet?" Cosette asked, fiddling with the fabric of her sleeve under the table.
"Alright then, let us finish up here and I will show you around our manor." Shawn said, taking a bite of his own cake as well before a sip of tea.

Magdalena nodded in agreement and continued to have her cake and tea.
"Ah they must be very busy then. No I haven't yet, have you?"he asked her, tilting his head to look at her as he had a bite of his cake.
