Natasha
Eagerly, she outstretches her palms in welcome to the bird that flutters in. Her deft fingers remove the piece of parchment, and she rewards the messenger with a bowl of dried fruit and seed.
Her attention now fully on the contents of the parchment, she mouths an "O" silently before breaking into a fit of near hysteria.
"Harriet!" ~ She was breathing hard ~ "Come over here at once! Hurry up!" ~ The maid scurried in, with feather duster and the other hand holding on to the over-sized cap ~ "Pack my bags at once! I'm leaving right away!" ~ Shooing the puzzled creature away before she had to reply to more redundant questions.
"Gilbert!"
The stable lad sprinted in, his blue eyes betraying lovesickness ~ "I need to leave right away - to Jonathan. Get my carriage ready now!" ~ She paused momentarily, and that was enough to find herself swept by a wave of fiery kisses as the audacious fellow wrapped her in his muscular arms and rained his passion upon her.
Before she could protest, however, he'd let her go, giving her a gruff order ~ "You come back right when you'r done, or I'll be looking for you." ~ With that, he patted her lightly on the rear and strut off, grinning to himself as he heard her stifled scream.
