if kilmartin was to welcome any more bridgerton relatives in the next week, they might as well invite the whole family over for a visit. not a likely thing for her sister to do since she was so excited to get away from their big, loud family, though. in any case, having daphne and then kate over seemed necessary; who better to give advice to a new wife than someone who was relatively new to wifehood as well?

"please do not tell me my brother has come with you on this visit. francesca is far too nice to say it, but the invite was really only intended for you."

@kathrani ! starter call.

Daphne is no stranger to the loneliness a new marriage brings. There is bliss, of course. A new home, a husband, days filled with love, nights filled with intimacy and pleasure. Though in all its delight, marriage takes a woman away from the only home she’s ever known, the only family she’s ever had. Daphne has surely had trouble moving to Clyvedon from Mayfair, where the Bridgerton House is. Unconsciously always finding a reason to return to the Bridgerton home; back to her family. And she can only imagine how solitary it has been for the Viscountess, with her own mother and sister so far away from her. 

Upon the Viscountess’ squeeze of her hand, Daphne eases into a comforting smile. In this, she shines best. Best described by the Bridgerton children as “a comforting presence.”, “Someone one runs to when they are feeling unsure; unprepared.” Daphne would take no greater honour than being a guiding light to her family’s woes. At the other’s remark, the Duchess shakes her head in disagreement. " Oh Kate, this family sees you as nothing but a tenacious lioness. There is no one else in the world who can match Anthony’s wild flame, and keep this house, and all of us, in check. And that is you, dear sister. You have done so well. " She in turn, places her other gloved hand atop the Viscountess’. " But I do understand you. There are moments in my new role as Duchess that have made me feel as if I am but a mere mouse. Unknowing and unguided. But I have reminded myself that even the smallest critters bear the greatest spirit, and the bravest souls. " 

Her gaze trails away with Kate’s. She sees her hesitation, the fear upon debuting into a new title, a new life. Daphne has been there once before. She will not let anyone else, let alone her own family, go through it alone. Sapphire painted doe-eyed hues look upon Kate’s own ambers. Genuine concern and empathy glinting from her grip. " Of course. I am nothing but a beacon of honesty. " A slight smile of comfort. " The ton will be nothing if mesmerized when they see the new Viscountess Bridgerton. Everything that has happened is in the past. You are now a Bridgerton, and anyone who dare say an off putting word against one of us will face the wrath of all of us. You will surely sparkle tonight. "

" courage is within us all. "

if kate were truly honest with herself, she would be moved to admit that her time at bridgerton house had been equal parts exhilarating and entirely lonely. although she had her husband and his lovely family to thank for their hospitality, she often found herself longing for the familiar company of her mother and sister. they had been her world for so many years that her new life in the ton was proving difficult to adjust to. she found herself pacing back and forth in anthony’s study, worrying her lip, an hour before the first ball they would throw as viscount and viscountess when daphne found her. kate quickly apologized for her absence but when her dark eyes met with the clear blues of the duchess it compelled her heart to spill all its worries into the space between them.

her gloved hands gave daphne’s a squeeze at the words of reassurance. she couldn’t express just how much she appreciated the elder daughter’s calming presence and what she’d give for her to visit more frequently. “ sometimes it feels as though that courage is purposefully evading me. when i urge myself to be the lion, it seems as though i become the mouse. ” her corners of her lips twitch upwards as she adds. “ and unlike a small mouse, i cannot bury my head and go into hiding. ”

her sights turned to the ajar door, the nervous habit of chewing on her lips resumed. when she turned back to daphne her eyes were wrought with concern, brows pinched tightly together. “ i kindly request you to be honest with me please. how do you reckon the ton will receive their new viscountess ? what with …. ” she trailed off distantly, her thoughts turning to edwina’s wedding followed by her own. even now the doubt and guilt gnawed at her heart if she lingered on the memories for too long. “ … everything. ”

brows lifted, bafflement staining otherwise stoic features as if he'd been doused in red wine, head tilting to the side the slightest in a form of dismay. from the gods above and below, she'd rendered him stumped. and taken aback by the sudden outburst. though, it wasn't all too unanticipated should he have been more mindful or considerate of the buttons he, rather enthusiastically and unapologetically, pressed with reckless abandon. he was a creature of habit, and kate sharma had been the object of his ... tomfoolery. though he gathered it was matched on her end as well. “ shan't ? ” muttered under his breath even as she continued speaking, as if she'd uttered something uncouth in his presence, but it would have been hypocritical seeing as he'd rarely obeyed that filter over his mouth.

from a distance, he could hear the footsteps entering and leaving the grand library, indistinct conversation to be made about lady whistledown's recent edition, or the queen's public invitation for yet, another event. the season had befallen upon them once again, and kezo was doing his best to remain as invisible as he'd like. to no avail. shoulders rolled as he adjusted his posture, gaze flickering down to meet her gaze — this was purposeful, using his height against her in a childish manner. “ what of my boredom ? were we not jesting about ? ” harsh whispers, ignoring the warning stares of nearby staff. “ very well. you are dismissed. ” he waved his hand as if to shoo her off. and just as quickly as he'd given in, he grew more bothered and took another step forward again. “ actually, no. i retract my dismissal. you are childish. ”
