It was tempting to confess to him that she'd read his private journal, but she feared it would only anger him and now was not the time. Still, she understood him better now - and knew he felt more for her than he had yet to express. Knowing Haytham, he might never truly put his feelings into words, but she was still warmed by knowing he did care for her.
no subject
But the moment was interrupted by the creaking of the door behind them and the squeaking of not yet worn in new dress shoes. Haytham stepped away before the secret rendezvous could be entirely uncovered though the man had to have seen hos close they were standing or even how their fingers had been entwined.
"My lady are you feeling well?"
The Navy man spoke with a deep voice, one used to command... and one quite familiar to Haytham. Even with a mask covering the majority of his face the Templar kept his back to the man. It had been dark on that night and there had been a good distance of sea between them but it was best not to risk being recognized. He had after all killed the man's Commanding Officer during that one profitable but less than subtle smuggling mission he and Ban had once attempted together.
"Forgiveness Ma'am, but you looked ill before. If you need some looking after I could send for a Doctor?"
no subject
She took a half step toward the interloper. "This is very forward of me, but... Do you dance, sir?"
no subject
"Aye, Ms. I do a little. It would be a great pleasure to dance with you."
Again Haytham was given a good hard look.
"If you are feeling up to it Ma'am."
no subject
"Thank you for the dance and your aid, ser," she called to the silent Haytham even as she took the officer's hand. "I am feeling much better and would be delighted to dance with you," was said to the true Navy man. The words were accompanied by a winning smile.
no subject
Still...
"Curious one that."
The Officer watched Haytham walk away, trying his hardest to place this strange feeling, before looking back at Elissa and giving her a smile.
"If he gives you anymore trouble you come see ole Murray. I'll see him off for you."
no subject
"You said your name was Murray?" could just be heard before the pair was back inside the door.
no subject
"Aye, Ma'am. Murray Clayworth. I'm in charge of the docks, making sure they run well and we keep smuggles out of town. Been in charge since the Commander was murdered."
Murray was quick to pat her hand as he lead... or was lead by Elissa, back into the ballroom.
"Sorry Ma'am I shouldn't have made mention of that on a nice evening like tonight."
no subject
Surely just one dance with this man would be enough to distract him from Haytham.
no subject
The conversation alone was enough to distract him, a beautiful lady interesting in his line of work? Not many people really paid attention to the kinds of hardships men of his station had to deal with. The few compliments almost made it all seem worthwhile and the dance that followed was icing on the cake.
But even if he had remembered that strange man on the balcony and chanced to look back after him, Haytham would not be there to be found. He had slipped seamlessly back into the crowd as soon as it was possible to do so.
