Ian answered the door, and Ilona watched as he stood up straighter once he saw who was behind it. He stepped back out of the way, and his sister was not surprised when the lovely Lady Adair swept into the room.
Looking around at all of them, the Duchess looked as if she was studying them closely.
"You will all have dinner with us soon," she told them, trying to force a smile to her lips that wouldn't quite come, "Do you... do you have anything to change into for dinner?"
Ian looked between his sister, who was frowning, and his brothers, who looked confused since they had no idea what was being said. He sighed, popping his knuckles as Ilona knew he did when he was uncomfortable.
"They don't," he shook his head, "I never thought to have them bring more formal dress."
Delaney Adair bit her lip as she looked them over, which annoyed Ilona. She was a pirate Captain. She shouldn't have to sit here and let this woman examine her like an insect.
