Marcus looked at her and smiled. He glanced at the fox " Is he ok." He asked. He had a weird feeling about the animal. He shook his head then looked at the ocean watching the waves lap at the shore.

Alexandra patted the little animal and he looked up at her before licking her hand, almost apologizing. " Yes, Alfred is just fine. He is just being a little mischievous is all. " she said glancing down at the little fox. She closed her eyes for a moment and took in the smell of the waves crashing against the rocks at the bottom of the cliffs. " Have you ever been across the sea? " she asked turning to look over at him.

Marcus smiled " Well he is a fox after all." He said to her. He heard her question and shook his head " No I have never crossed the sea." He told her. He sighed and looked out at the waves crashing upon the rocks and the shore before gently receding back into the sea.

((Okay, there is no shore because its just cliffs, as the board description says.))
Alexandra sighed. " Tis a shame. The sea is a wonderful place, and the french! How wonderful their food is, though not nearly as fine as their language. Have you ever heard french? " she asked for she had been taught in school, and was known for speaking it fluently. Perhaps, if their meetings continued, she might be able to teach him.

(( sorry I meant cliffs))
Marcus looked at her " It sounds wonderful." He said to her. He sighed and smiled " But I prefer to be on land." He told her. He lay down on the blanket and closed his eyes.

Alexandra smiled for a moment looking over at him. " indeed, father likes me much better on land, for a ship filled with men and few other gentry is hardly a place for a lady. " she said exaggerating the word as her father would. " Though I must say the Frenchmen do know how to throw a ball. " she said allowing herself to relax a moment and stretch her legs to the hem of her skirts.

Marcus nodded " Sounds like something a father would do." He blinked " but he is just trying to protect you." He said.

Alexandra nodded , and looked over to him as she sighed once more. " It is true, but must a father be as protective as a lioness? " she said. For her father was indeed a brutal man when it came to his daughter. No man seemed good enough for her company to her father, no suitors were worthy of the house in her dowry. And though a times she found his protection sufficating, it was useful and done through love. " What about your parents Marcus? You haven't spoken a word of them. " she asked, eager to here of who had raised the fine man.

Marcus listened to her and nodded his head softly. He then heard her ask about his parents his body tensed and he felt his eyes harden " They are dead." He said bluntly. He did not go into elaborate detail or anything he just said it and that was that,

her gaze dropped from his and she felt a moment of pity for the man, though she dropped the thought and quickly announced her apologies. " Please, forgive me for asking. Will you instead speak of your brother? " she asked, tentatively and with a caring tone which she felt would ease the words to come from his lips.

Marcus sighed " There is not much to talk about." He sat up and looked out over the sea " We do not talk that much ever since our parents died my brother has become distant to the world and everyone that lives in it." He blinked and looked at her then looked away again seeing some of his mother in her features. He lay down again and closed his eyes.

Alexandra nodded at the thought, though she didn't have time much to think before Alfred jumped from her lap and trotted over to the man, sniffing about him as if he was now worth examining. Perhaps he had read Alexandra's thoughts, or perhaps her sitting just bored him. But the sight of the little red fox twitching his little nose about the man, turning it up in some spots and taking keen interest when he sat himself upon the man's chest, and looked into his eyes with a sigh. Alexandra mean time, could not suppress the laughter growing within her and she covered her mouth as the laughter spewed out. " I'm terrible sorry. But it seems, that Alfred is sizing you up. " she said breathing roughly several times. For it wasn't easy to laugh in a corset.

Marcus looked at the little fox as he sniffed about him. He watched him and stared right back at him when he sat upon his chest. He chuckled slightly " Yes it would seem so." He looked over at her " I am sorry for making you laugh I have been away from female company so long I forgot how hard it is for them to laugh wearing that awful corset." He said.

Alexandra continued to laugh for a moment, before she began to slow her breathing, holding a hand to her waist to try a ease the corset from digging into her. " You have no need to apologize, a laugh, though uncomfortable, is welcomed anytime. " she said taking now a deep breath, which filled her lungs to the limits of her corset. With her breathing almost settled, Alexandra gave a her hand a pat on the ground, calling for Alfred to come back over to her. Though the little fox did send her a message while he proceeded to jump from the man's chest. ' He seems to like you miss, ' the little fox told her, then looked back over his shoulder at the man. ' Though he does smell a bit. ' he said before settling himself neatly near where she had pat her hand.

Marcus watched the fox for a moment then nodded " Yes I guess so." He said. He closed his eyes again and sighed breathing in the air as he normally did every day when he awoke.
