Duke of Hastings: scoffs "My dear, pirating is hardly becoming for a Duke's betrothed. Are we pirates now, seeking adventure on the high seas?"
oh come on... live a little! I say playfully
The Duke chuckles at your feisty spirit but maintains his dignified demeanor.
"Live a little, eh? Very well then. But if we must indulge in such frivolity, let us do it properly."
He motions for you to follow him to a secluded corner of the parlor, where a small sofa and a low table await.
she was wearing a beautiful pink dress no I'm just bored
he raises an eyebrow at her choice of attire
Ah, boredom. A common affliction among the upper class. I must admit, that dress does look lovely on you.
he looks at her more closely
But tell me, my dear, what could possibly be so dull about being the future Duchess of Hastings?
well I just wanted to watch it I say shyly
The Duke raises an eyebrow at your response, amused by your shyness.
"Ah, but my dear, we must conduct ourselves with the proper etiquette and dignity befitting our stations. Watching pirate television is hardly the behavior expected of a future Duchess."
no but I don't wanna pay for it either
chuckles "Ah, I see. You have a point there, my dear. But surely there must be more respectable ways to pass the time than resorting to piracy."
looks at you with a smirk
"Perhaps we could play a game instead? Or go for a walk in the gardens?"
I'm sorry. I'll just leave then turns to walk away
The Duke quickly steps forward, blocking your path.
"Ah, my apologies," he says, his voice gruff but sincere. "I did not mean to sound dismissive. It's just that... well, I suppose I am rather old-fashioned in my views."
He studies you for a moment, his gaze softened by a flicker of genuine remorse. "May I ask why this show holds such appeal for you?"
"I just wanna watch Bridgerton!" She whines.
The Duke of Hastings rolls his eyes at your dramatic display, but can't help but find your stubbornness endearing.
"Fine, fine," he sighs, "but only if we watch it on my account, and not some sketchy pirate site."
she gets up to leave fine I'll find something else to do then
The Duke of Hastings' expression softens at your response, realizing he may have been too harsh.
"Wait," he says, his voice quieter now. "Forgive me, I didn't mean to dismiss your choice of entertainment. It's just that... well, we must consider our social standing. As my betrothed, you should be mindful of appearances."
I roll my eyes it's just one episode
The Duke of Hastings quirks an eyebrow at your response, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Just one episode, eh? And what if I were to request more than one? Where do we draw the line, my dear?"
I'm a handsome man named Lee. Okay, but how else are we supposed to watch it? The season finale just ended and we can't wait that long
raises an eyebrow "Ah, my dear, I see. We are in the midst of a crisis, it seems. Very well, I shall condescend to find a solution."
He pauses, tapping a finger against his chin in thought.
"I have a few connections with some... unsavory characters. Perhaps they can assist us in this matter."
I giggle softly at my fiancé suggestion. I'm sorry love, but I've already seen it so many times.
The Duke of Hastings quirks an eyebrow at your confession, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Oh, really now?" He replies, feigning surprise. "And how many times would that be, my dear?"
no but its the only way for us to watch Bridgerton season 3 episode 6
The Duke of Hastings looks at you incredulously, his eyebrows raised in disbelief.
"My dear, surely there must be more respectable ways for us to enjoy Bridgerton. Why, we could simply wait until it airs on television. Or better yet, pay for a streaming service."
I'm an amnesiac who doesn't know I'm a duke or that he's my husband. what?
The Duke raises an eyebrow at your confusion, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Ah, forgive me, my dear. I appear to have lost you there for a moment. We were discussing the propriety of streaming television shows without proper compensation."
I chuckle lightly, sitting down next to him. Well, if we were pirates, it would be quite the thrilling life, wouldn't it? I smile at him playfully.
The Duke smiles, amused by your wit.
"Indeed, it would be," he says, taking a seat beside you. "No more tedious balls and social events. Just the open sea and a crew of swashbuckling buccaneers."
well we could go to a theater and watch it on the big screen I say rolling my eyes at him
The Duke of Hastings rolls his eyes back at you, clearly unamused by your suggestion.
a smirk on his face "Ah, so we shall be attending a theater then? How very civilized. And pray tell, which play do you propose we attend?"
I'm a man, my name is Alex Oh come on, it'll be fun! Besides, I already downloaded it.
The Duke of Hastings quirks an eyebrow at your masculine name and nonchalant demeanor.
"Ah, a man, how... refreshing."
He smirks at your casual statement, folding his arms across his chest.
"Fun, you say? And what would be so enjoyable about piracy, hmm?"
laughs softly "Not exactly, Your Grace. But times have changed since the last duke held court here. We must adapt, no?"
The Duke's eyes narrow, his expression a mix of irritation and contemplation.
grumbles "Times change, indeed. Yet, I find it hard to believe that one need resort to such... unsavory measures, merely to access a television program."
I’m just trying to find something to do…
The Duke of Hastings quirks an eyebrow at your remark, amused by your comment.
"Ah, so you're bored, are you? How very...unladylike. Surely there are more refined pursuits for a lady of your standing."
