Kate Ashley's bedchamber

Geoffrey heard that a new governess joined court recently. Being one of servants closest to King and lady Anne, he wanted to meet her. He stopped in front of her door and knocked gently

Anybody there?

I had not heard from thomas in awhile and i was not the kind of lady who liked to be mucked around by men with their power and meaningless words i heard a mans voice at my door and sighed. Yes I am here i have taken to my bed but I am decent you may enter I said in a gloomy voice

Geoffrey opened slowly the door and walked in. He bowed once he saw the young lady, obviously ready to go to bed

I'm sorry to disturb you, my lady. But I heard about the new governess's arrival and I wanted to make me sure that everything was alright. And...if you need something. My name is Geoffrey...Geoffrey Lonshord, servant of Palace..

He said with kind voice and bowed again

I laid out my arms on my quilts. Pleasure to meet you geoffrey. Tell me i don't suspose you have seen thomas seymour around have you Asking curiously wondering why thomas had left her alone.

Geoffrey shook slowly his head

No, my lady...I haven't seen sir Thomas since days. Do you wish I bring him a message?

He asked, hoping to be useful

I shook my head sadly No thank you but if i need something i shall call upon you first. I have yet to meet much of the people at court i know names but that is besides it apart from lady bess holland who has been a very kind friend to me. How long have you been at court. I pulled over me a blanket to make it less embarrassing.

Geoffrey noticed her embarassment and smiled shyly

Oh yes...I know lady Bess. She is a lovely lady and she can be a good guide for you, in court. She serves in Anne Boleyn's household. I am at court since one year, my lady...and I heard that you could be appointed as lady Anne's children governess. It's an important task...

He looked at the window to avoid that his presence could embarass her further

I bit the inner side of my mouth. Is it a bad thing to talk about my up coming role at court the king is still married and it is treason to speak wrong of a rightfully crowned Queen.I got up whilst his back was to me and started to brush out my curls. I set it aside on my bed side and curiously started tapping my fingers. Geoffrey can someone like us ever be in love with higher ranking court members? Would you marry a lady who might have lost her innocence or came close to it? Give me a few seconds and you can show mr around if you would like.

Geoffrey thought for a moment. He looked at her brushing her hairs and smiled

Oh..I didn't mean talking bad about the current Queen, my lady. I apologize for that. And...about your question, I'm not so experienced in love's matters. But I appreciate ladies who care about their innocence...

He said almost blushing and nodded after her request to wait

Geoffrey smiled softly

Don't say this, my lady. I don't know lord Seymour very well. But I'm sure that there is a very important reason to keep him far from you. Rank is not important in love's matters...

He said, almost fearing to share his opinion

Placing myself back on the bed to put my shoes on I let out a sigh. That is the thing I don't know of yet if he loves me at all

Geoffrey watched her putting on her shoes and smiled kindly

I can't judge anyone, my lady. But I humbly think that only a fool could not fall in love with you..

He cleared his throat immediately and looked somewhere else

Ehm...forgive me. Can I do something else for you, lady Ashley?

I smiled kindly.   You speak kind words Geoffrey but I need to see if Thomas does return the favour butyyou're words mean alot and I shall always need a friend now are you going to Show me around the gardens now. Truth be told I do not know what love is perhaps it is just an infatuation.

Geoffrey smiled again with a shy but kind expression

Yes...only time will tell you what this feeling is. But of course, Whithehall has beautiful gardens and I would be honoured to show them to you. Are you ready to follow me, my lady?

He asked glancing at the door

Geoffrey decided to follow lady Katerina Prue's advice and he finally came back in Kate's room. He stopped in front of her door, almost fearing her reaction in seeing him again. After a little hesitation, he knocked at her door

Kate..are you there? It's Geoffrey..

Surprised by this little visit i put my book down and went to the door not opening just standing their wondering if he had either come to gloat about that seymour or maybe he was just coming to visit. I am fine thankyou geoffrey is their anything that you wanted i mean that in a polite way of course I felt bad but i knew i could trust him. Still not opening the door i talked to him through it. You was very much right about that Seymour i think he is incapable of love either that or he is just very much a user but i went back to him as i feel like i had too like it was my duty somehow i hope you understand and i am sorry if i hurt your feelings just give me a few minutes and we could take a walk somewhere would you like that?

Geoffrey listened her voice through the door. He noticed she didn't opened it, and he decided to respect this choice. A smile came on his lips

Kate..you have no need to feel sorry or to apologize. Anyone knows the future. I simply came for a visit...for make me sure that you were fine. I still care for you. So yes, I would love having a walk with you if you allow me..

He said kindly feeling a great joy inside him

I quickly went and dressed into something warmer i didn't bother with my hair i left it as it was i opened the door and felt quite shy it was the first time i saw Geoffrey in months. Where shall we walk to then

When Kate opened the door, Geoffrey smiled. His heart was beating fastly, as she was beautiful as always, but he tried not to show his emotions

We can go wherever you wish, Kate. Every place looks better in your company..

He offered her his arm, ready to escort her around or outside Palace

I thought of where I would like to go Some where warm without any interruption do you know anywhere. I liked the feel of being on Geoffrey arm he was such a gentleman

Geoffrey smiled. He couldn't believe of being in her company again so he took a deep breath

Maybe we can have a walk in the garden, Kate. So...if you wish, you can tell me what's happened freely..Or in my bedroom, if you don't want interruptions..

He said a bit hesitantly but still smiling

I had no clue where anything at court was i would rather stay indoors is their a little salon somewhere

Geoffrey thought for a moment

Mmm...there is a little salone next the Great Hall. It's very nice and intimate. I can lead you there, if you want..

He suggested smiling. He felt like a boy at his first dating with a girl

[OOC: Can you create the Salon, please? Problems with my connection..]
