Luke was wandering about outside his cloak pulled up over his head. He saw the girl and walked over to her " What are you doing." He asked her softly. He was not trying to frighten her and hoped he had not since she was sitting on the water trough and may fall in if he had. He waited for her to reply.

Alfred smelled the man before Alex could even hear him. The little fox jumped from her lap to the ground and began sniffing at the air. She stood from her perch just in time to see the man emerge. She did a light curtsy to him, holding out her hand to be kissed in true English fashion. " I'm sorry sir. I am Alexandra, I was riding and my horse needed some water. I saw your trough and stopped to rest a moment. " she said in her polite sweet voice. Alex didn't want to mention straight off that she was a duchess, for it often made people act very differently around her, that she didn't like.

Eros had tacked up Luke's stallion and had the stallion's son on a lead. She walked them out of the stable and saw Luke with a girl. She shook her head and mounted the stallion. She walked him over to Luke. "I will be back, your grace." she said as she pushed the stallion into a walk.

Luke did not bother kissing her hand he was not proper. He looked at Eros and nodded then back at the girl,Alexandrea. He nodded when he heard her " Yes well that is fine." He said.

Retracting her unkised hand, she turned a bit, taking a good look at the stallion which the stable hand brought out. The colt of the sire as well, both looked to have good composition. But her thoughts were quickly turned from the horses to the way in which the servant had adressed the man before her. Alexandra turned with a smile to the man, " Your grace? So you are a Duchmen? " she asked out of curiousity as she reached to pat her horse.
If indeed the man was a man of her class, then another suitor may be added to the ranks, though he did seem a bit cold, that could be over come.

After a few hours, Eros came back and dismounted the stallion. She walked them to the stable. She tied both of them off and started to untack the stallion. She took the tack to the tack room and came back with the grooming supplies. She groomed them and put them in their stalls. SHe put the grooming things back. She got the stallion's food and fed them. She looked at the rest of the horses and made sure they were okay. She walked back to the office. She sat down in the chair and started to go over the books.

Luke watched Eros go into the barn and decided to go in after a bit. He looked at Alexandrea then heard a call. He looked over and saw his twin brother coming. He looked at Alexandrea " Excuse me miss but I must go." He walked into the barn. He walked into the office and closed the door standing near and looking at her.
Mark saw his brother excuse himself then go into the barn obviously intending to leave him alone with this lovely woman. He walked over to her and smiled a charming smile " Hello my lady." He said taking her hand and kissing it gracefully.

Alexandra watched and allowed him to take her hand willingly. She watched a charming smile take over his face at the sight of her, he looked like the other had, though she hadn't really been able to talk to him much. Alex dipped her head to him in greeting. " Greetings good Sir. Do you live here as well? " she asked still remarking to herself at how similar they looked to each other. Perhaps they were twins.

Eros looked at Luke when he closed the door. "May I help you sir?" she asked as she sat down her quill.

Luke looked at her " Are you upset with me." He asked her. He wanted to know because that was how she had seemed and the other girl really did not matter to him.
Mark smiled at her " No Luke is my brother." He told her with a smile.

She smiled at his modest answer, though his smile was what really caught her eye. " Ah, so Luke is his name. I'm afraid we parted too soon for exchanging names. but I shant forget manners this time. I am Alexandrea Barstow. " she said, again not wanting to release the fac that she was a duchess, though, if he did live in these lands, he had probably heard of her return.

Luke watched her for a moment " I am not intrested in her." He told her " I mean if it concerns you at all." He added not sure if she was upset or not.
Mark smiled at her and bowed " I am Marcus Nightrider." He sid to her. He looked at her with another charming smile before looking at her horse " I belive he would be more comfortable without the bridle and saddle upon him." He said.

She looked over at her horse as well, before looking up to the sky to check the position of the sun. " Indeed, I would untack him but I must be going again. So I must say adieu, unless of course you would like to join me Marcus Nightrider. " Alexandra said, with hopes that they might be able to ride across the moors together, perhaps even get a chance to talk a bit more, for she hated to leave the place with only an acquaintance of the man.

Eros shook her her head. "I don't care if you like her or not. She is of your rank." she said.
