Sir Phillip assured Simon that he thought the Bridgerton's lovely, and he was only unused to their numbers. "I doubt the British Navy is used to their numbers." Simon added on dryly. Not meaning offense to his wife's family but they did seem to double in numbers every year.
Simon released Sir Phillip's hand, and tucked his own back in his jacket to causally rest it there. "I met the Viscount in school, and later married his sister. In the years I have known them, they have welcomed me. Yet still I understand the need to step away at times."
Step away and go home at the end of the night, were he could relax. Simon never did care for society and the crowds. He enjoyed the country, but came during the season as that was when the house meet (and as a peer of the relm he had a seat in the house of lords), his wife enjoyed the season and he enjoyed his wife, and because Will lived here and he enjoyed boxing with his friend.

Simon was announced and shown to the breakfast table. As he walked in the Middle(ish) Bridgerton looked up at him and greeted him. Simon nodded his head in a slight acknowledgement of her thanks as he approached. "It is always a pleasure to escort pretty ladies were they need to know." He told her in his normal slow cadence. Simon only ever spoke when he had full control over his voice and knew there would be no studder. Which often lead to him speaking low and slightly slower in tone than his peers.
"And if we are to spend two days in a carriage to our location, you must call me Simon." Two days of her calling him 'your grace' would be a lot. If he was to embrace the family life, as he promised his wife he would, then he could begin by letting some of the formalities ease.
Simon noticed she was still eating breakfast, so he gestured to a seat "May I?" He asked, not planning to hurry off until she was well fed. He did not like small talk, as he did not like talking, but he was here to try and be better.

Simon had been married for quite some time now, and had children of his own. His world had expand from when he had rather been on his own. If you had told him younger self that this would be his world one day, he would have ran away with his coat tails tucked and never came back to English soil. However, now that he was married and happy in his life, he was learning to love the chaos--and to escape it when needed.
Hearing someone approach, Simon turned his head to see the newest member of the Bridgerton tribe walking toward him. Sir Phillip. "For the silence," Simon told him, in his usual slow cadence wile nodding toward the rambunctious house. Even from out here you could heard children's laughter and activities. He was honored to be taken in by such a family.
And grateful for the ability to live apart of them as well. They were a lot for a man to handle when they were not used too it. "As appears you do as well." Seeking silence that was. Simon held out his hand in greeting. They had meet before, but never in a one-to-one setting. "And here, please call me Simon."

Simon could tell that Anthony was not about to challenge him to another duel, which he was grateful for. Anthony did not seem awkward or in a rage. It was a good sign that this could be dealt with without dramatics. Though with Anthony, there was always some dramatics.
"Not the word I would use." Simon said in a slow and low voice, while watching Anthony move around. They had been fast and easy friends in their youth, but they were still very different. Simon was more sill, and controlled in his movements, choices, and temperament (in most occasions). Anthony was not. It was what had made it easy to be around him.
"Perhaps a knock before entering would be wise in the future?" Simon asked, thought it wasn't much of a question. Anthony's sarcasm hinted he already knew that.

The current heir to the Bridgerton viscountcy seemed more startled than Simon had at seeming the nude in the middle of a family room. It had not been Simon's intention. Bridgerton called him by his name, and then corrected with your grace, causing Simon to hold up a hand.
"Simon, please." He liked that the family was close, and did not plan to press for formalities while in their home. It felt out of place in loud and inviting home. "There is no need to be formal among family." Which they were now, even if the word family still felt odd on his tongue.
"Apologies for starling you. I was attempting to offer a greeting in passing but caught the subject of your drawing." The nude subject. Simon's voice was it's normal slow cadence, as his words were always measured with care to prevent a studder. "Your sister did not mention that you were an artist."

With Simon's world changing, and his wife at the center of it, he knew that he needed to begin sorting out his dealings abroad so that he could better focus them in England--and London. So he needed to make a short stint to Clydesdale to retrieve a deed, and a close a few travel accounts.
As he did not plan to be gone long, his wife was not joining him. He rather not have her jostled all the way out there and all the way back for such a short trip. He would spend only a night there; as he did not wish to leave her side long.
Thus, after heading his new sister needed a escort to to the country, he offered to take her to Aubrey Hall himself. Which was why he was currently walking up to the Bridgerton door very early in the morning to collect her.

Simon was not one to sneak about, but nor was he a person who made much sound. Much of his life he had spent quite, so it was not out of the normal for him to move down the halls without making a sound. Were as some boots thudded with power from a man's walk, Simon's boots and walk didn't echo. Which was why he was not sneaking, but simply walking up when he noticed what Benedict was drawing.
Simon was dropping his wife off at the Bridgerton house in London, and thought to ask his friend Anthony to visit White's with him. However, as it seemed Anthony was not at home, he was on his way out when he noticed Benedict there. Thinking to at least make a greeting, and he had walked up slightly behind him only see the drawing.
He had not known that Benedict was one to draw, but he noticed instantly the skill. Yet it was the nudity that surprised him. Which in turn lead to Simon--in a rare moment--speaking without thinking. "Is that my wife's dress maker?"

Well, fuck. Simon had been trying to avoid his best friend since this morning. They had only just recently worked on bridging the distract that courting then marrying Anthony's sister had brought, and now Anthony of all people had walked in on Simon pleasuring his wife.
"Bridgerton," Simon greeted, as he stood in one of the doorways of Clydesdale where everyone had gathered for Simon and Daphne's son's first birthday tomorrow. He had not expected the Bridgertons to arrive before the supper hour, much less luncheon. So while his son slept, Simon had taken the advantage of time alone with his wife and had 'courted' her in the library. In walked her notoriously over protective brother, just as Simon began to kiss between her legs. That had thoroughly killed the mood.
Not wanting the awkwardness to turn into something that affected the moon of tonight's table, Simon had sought out Anthony in the room he was using while staying here. "You arrived a might earlier then expected." |
