Lucky Meeting

"It's beautiful, isn't it? My father had it made for my mother as a wedding present." A voice remarks to Lucian.

Lucian regards the unexpected visitor with interest. 

A boy at least a head shorter than him stands a few feet away with his knees to the ground as he tends to a purple flower similar to a lilac. Blonde hair trusses behind his head, tied into a braided ponytail. His eyes are a dim brown, though Lucian is uncertain if this is simply their color or a sign of his intelligence. 

'The Duke's son?'

'I think we've found exactly what we need Pandora.'

Her response is a wave of guilt as she thinks of Lucian manipulating the person before them.

'I guess.' 

Lucian feigns ignorance to the boy's question for a moment, using this moment to act as if she he is dazed by the beauty of the garden. Following suit to the boy and going to one knee to inspect one of the flowers.
