A quiet boy, that's how most of the town would have described Edmund. His eyes were always slightly sunken, he would have been handsome if not for his gaunt pale cheeks and sallowed complexion. His lips were always pursed slightly, lush and full lips however they lacked the pink hue to make them appealing. His eyes were a brilliant blue yet held a slight dullness to them like he was constantly tired. His generally haggard appearance confused most who knew his family. Really he wasn't much of a boy, standing six foot three and weighing two hundred pounds he was rather large, his body like a sculpted bronze come to life with his skin the color of light caramel. His deep black hair was kept back in a pony tail that rested between his shoulder blades and sat atop the edge of the creme colored shirt he wore. His black trousers and deep black boots gave him the look of a ghost as it blended with the darkness of the basement as he shifted about barrels easily.
"I need to hire someone to do this." He mused to himself as he finished stacking the barrels and turned to walk up the stairs. Exiting the cellar he looked about his large pantry and stepped out into a larger kitchen. There was no dust in the area but a general look of disuse filled the room, pots and pans all stacked as though they hadn't been moved for weeks and had been dusted rather than washed. Yawning slightly he made his way out and into the main hall, this area had dust in the higher spots, dust he couldn't be bothered to deal with. He lived now in the mansion that seemed to be hurtling towards antiquity now that his father had died and his mother had been committed. The servants had run off with whatever they could carry only to find themselves soon caught, the property returned and soon they were in prison. His sudden sitting caused a slight cloud of dust to fly up from an armchair he flopped into before he put his hands behind his head. "I need to hire someone to dust this place proper. Its becoming a mess...I can't have that, mother wouldn't like that." He said slowly. "No no, everything must be proper and prim for when she returns." He said slowly while steepling his fingers together and pondering on where he would find such help.
Standing he walked along the marble floor of the hall listening to the distant hollow click of his echoing footsteps before he walked through the doors and down the path. He walked, and walked, and walked, and soon he was in town, soon being an hour or so later. Plopping down on a bench, he soon began to look at women as they passed by. Many blushed, or giggled, he was going to just wait, he figured he'd know the one when he saw her, or she saw him.
