For today's Six Sentence Sunday, I continue with my Regency paranormal romance WIP, A Woman of Proper Accomplishments. For reference, a soul breather is a person with the rare ability to literally breathe life into inanimate objects:
She could not help but compare Captain Southward to Mr. Morgan. The clean-shaven captain possessed darker hair and lighter eyes but presented less height. Her nose detected no hint of any eau de cologne unlike during her encounters with the more broad-shouldered Mr. Morgan. The militia officer's movements lacked the inherent grace and dignity of the soul breather but exuded a certain raw presence lacking in the gentleman. Though unclear if it was an artifact of his current profession or a more inherent aspect of the captain’s character, she could not deny the appeal.

Great six, well written contrast and comparison :)
Sounds like she can't decide who she like better
Wonderful internal monologue. Lovely snippet!
Very vivid descriptions. Can't wait to see what's next.
Mmm sounds like she has a choice between two not-bad-looking gentlemen... :D Great six!
I really liked her comparison! I could visualize easily! NICE!
Great comparison of the two men!
excellent comparison - I know who I would pick :D
okay, I read that first line too fast 'cause I went, 'oooh! Captain Morgan!' ...then realized it wasn't an alcohol reference :)
Nice six :)
Great internal thoughts making the comparison between two attractive me.
Nice comparison xx
I always enjoy your snippets. I especially like your phrase, "soul breather." Nice use of comparisons to set descriptions in readers' minds.
Lovely descriptions! I love the way she pits them against each other in her head.
