A/N: And the next chapter. Da-dum. I hope you enjoy.
"I don't entirely know, Miss Stellaris. I didn't exactly follow the Hyde cases." Liar. Shut up!
"Oh, that's quite alright. I mean, you wouldn't be expected to keep up with it, especially since Mr. Hyde's dropped off the face of the planet. Do you know that Mr. Hyde never once spoke French? And he spoke with a bit of a London accent. I think Mr. Hyde originated in London. Everyone knows he came from England, at least."
"That's quite a deduction, Miss Stellaris. You really pay attention to the details." I told you you should have learned French! What for? You think this woman's going to find out? She wouldn't understand anyway.
"Thank you!" She beamed at him. Her blonde-black hair framed her face perfectly. When she smiled, her eyes lit up like a night sky and for one moment Henry could almost believe she was an angel. Then she spoke: "You have a London accent. Could you tell me if Mr. Hyde originated in London?"
"Actually, yes I can. I can tell you for certain that he did originate in London. There were... quite a few cases." Henry gave a nervous smile.
"Really? I was right? Hooray! It's not often that I'm able to tell. Ooh, look at the time! Let's have supper."
Dear lord, this was turning out to be one of the strangest situations Henry had ever been in, and that was saying something.
After a very awkward supper (Omen would not stop trying to get Henry to discuss the mysterious Mr. Hyde), Henry was at last able to escape to the guest room.
"Oh, this day was just perfect." Henry muttered sarcastically.
I agree. What a charming woman. Edward was enthusiastic.
"I was being sarcastic, Edward."
Oh.
"Ooh, Dr. Jekyll!" Omen was back. No rest for the wicked, apparently.
"Yes, Miss Stellaris?"
"When do you leave France?"
Henry blinked. "I don't know. The Captain hasn't decided yet."
"Oh, alright. I was wondering about inviting you and the Captain to dinner sometime. That'd be fun, wouldn't it?"
"Certainly."
"Goodnight, Dr. Jekyll."
"Goodnight, Miss Stellaris."
A/N: There we go. Another chapter. Hopefully I'll have another one up soon. :)
