there's something about her that seems to scream she doesn't belong there.


maybe it's the coat. the fluffy white thing, no doubt cozy and beyond warm, it's nothing special, but there's intricacies in it that insinuate it's expensive. the fluffy hood is too fluffy, the metal of the zipper high quality, the tiny embroidered m.e. at the bottom, by the zipper.


or maybe it's the jewelry you can see if you look hard enough. the silver ring on her pinky, a tiny diamond on it. the necklace around her neck, only a peek of the shiny metal seen beneath the coat. the earrings, each stud glittering like a twinkling little star on each ear.


or maybe it's her face. maybe it's the fact that, even after a trek up the mountain, her hair is perfectly in place, barrel curls too neatly done to be possible considering the distance she'd gone. maybe it's those blue eyes, pale as the sky on a snowy morning, harboring a cool, calculated look. she's pretty, but not stupid. they're the eyes of a woman who's used to breaking men, used to getting her way, used to doing whatever is necessary for it. they're the eyes of a dangerous woman.


but in approaching her, from a hundred feet away, before you can see the embroidered coat or the perfect hair, you know it's off. it's the way she stands, the way she moves. there's an ease, a confidence, a grace to it all. she moves like a ballerina, stands out in the open like she's afraid of nothing. both are equally true of not only herself, but every woman in the family.


anyone who's met the english's can tell one from a hundred feet away. and the mane of sandy brown hair atop her head seems to scream her identification, to anyone who knew them; they were all icy blondes, except marlowe english.

fred wanted to say he could never forget a face. if he were to run into someone from years ago, he liked to think he wouldn’t forget them. then again, that was being just a bit too confident in himself. surely some one night stands and meaningless flings were blurred, faces and bodies all melting together at some point-- but if they were someone that meant anything to him, fred didn’t forget. either that, or if they were so goddamn beautiful, he would be sure not to.

as he strolled over towards the newcomer, he knew that face. how could he not? a person from the past, the kind of person he saw at certain social events the stirlings threw throughout the years. she was a beautiful one; how could someone forget the face of marlowe english? “well,” he started almost too smoothly, hands in his pockets as he neared. “i was just thinking to myself earlier that this lodge needed a hot russian woman around." there was a gleam in his eyes, a warm grin as he added, "believe it or not.”

he sounded so confident that the two simply couldn’t possibly be complete strangers. they weren’t the best of friends, nor were they even friends, but fred liked to think he made anyone feel welcomed if he knew them well enough. “what brings you here?” there had to be purpose in her choice to come here. nobody simply stumbled upon flintlock by accident. his blue eyes followed her curiously.

Marlowe English. The name itself spoke vividly in Edmund’s mind. The English family were notoriously volatile, a family that even the Stirlings knew to be somewhat wary of - they wore their instability and sheer ruthlessness like a flashing red warning sign and many of the Stirling boys loved it. But, Eddie was less than impressed, raised with a suspicion towards anyone as smart as the English family. In a battle of intellect, Eddie had met his match in Marlowe.

Freddie had been the first to arrive - ah, well that was one way to give off a bad first impression of Flintlock Lodge to none other than an English. Ed arrived soon after Freddie, permanent frown riddled across his features as he listened carefully to what his cousin had to say. ❝ Marlowe English- ❞ Eddie quickly piped up the moment Freddie stopped talking, stepping closer to take her hand before leaning down to press a short kiss against her knuckles. As Alfred had always told Ed; keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

❝ I’m surprised to see you here, and alone for a matter of fact. ❞ He was already beginning to pry, eyes subtly darting over her shoulder to watch the surrounding area of movement. When one English came, the rest seemed to follow according to Eddie. Now, what sort of game was she playing? Eddie cursed the fact that he’d left his rifle back in the lodge but, with a pistol tucked safely within a holster against his hip, Eddie knew that at least he had some form of defense against an attack.

He always expected the worst in people, even a woman as graceful as Marlowe English.
