Royal Ball

[Dukester 120]

*Derrek looks at her and chuckles*

"Well your Grandfather looks rather appealing. But nay, can ye dance?"

[~Utoto~ 1]

Rio stands straight, facing into nothingness, trying to look epic. He puts his hand on his stubble and says in a deep loud voice "Beards-, are manly and wonderful."

"Because it's an amazing gift that God himself gave to men. So we shall cherish this gift!"

Rio chuckles and makes his voice quieter and whispers into Kaitlyn's ear "Jealous?"

*Derrek looks at her and chuckles*

"Well your Grandfather looks rather appealing. But nay, can ye dance?"

*Elizabeth nods quickly and giggles at his comment about her Grandfather.*

"Yes I can dance, Mother taught me a while a go. Also Grandfather does look rather appealing, I must say. His clothes are very fine."

[Dukester 120]

*Derrek nods with a smirk*

"Care to show me then?"

[Goldd 126]

*Her silver eyes lighten up. She walks over to him and speaks excitedly, finally getting someone to dance with like she wanted to.*

"Of course I will show you!"

*Elizabeth puts his arm around her waist and her arm on his shoulder. She bonds the other two hands and begins to speak.*

"Step, step, turn and, step step..."

((I invented this dance :P))

[Dukester 120]

*Derrek follows her movements, swallowing and biting his lip on concentration, his footwork out of place slightly knowing that it's tradition for Nobles to dance. He tries to keep a smile upon his face but he has plenty on his mind that often removes his smile from time to time. However he struggles on*

"Told ye I can't dance,"

[Goldd 126]

*Derrek follows her movements, swallowing and biting his lip on concentration, his footwork out of place slightly knowing that it's tradition for Nobles to dance. He tries to keep a smile upon his face but he has plenty on his mind that often removes his smile from time to time. However he struggles on*

"Told ye I can't dance,"

*Elizabeth smiles up at him. She tilts her head while dancing and moves a teeny bit slower for him. She looks up at him happily.*

"Do not worry. You will learn. You are doing very well for your first time."

*Elizabeth wonder where her father is. She continues to wonder this as she dances.*

[Nummy 413]

Piper smiles brightly at her daughter as she dances off with Derrek, she makes her way over to Artorus, a huge Grin on her face. She doesn't say a thing but simple gives him a little nudge and tilts her head in the direction of the dancing young'ins.

[Gemmylou 484]

-Looks over at her brother and his awful dancing and snorts with laughter. She contemplates going to help him but decides against it.

[lιoɴ 248]

Kaitlyn laughs at Rio trying to be all great. "Na, not jealous..." She looks to the side and sees Derrek dancing with Elizabeth. That scene makes her smile and she nudges Rio "Look..."

[~Utoto~ 1]

Rio seems confused about everything, he thinks it was probably the wine, but he still looks over to see two children dancing, or at least attempting to. He chuckles and sips more wine. He sits down at the nearest chair and grabs Kaitlyn to come with him.

"I am feeling a little ill, this wine is so patrician-like, not used to it. Cheap ale is a little better."

[Goldd 126]

*Elizabeth smiles at Derrek as he starts dancing better to the rhythm .*

"You're doing great! Keep going, soon you will be dancing just like me."

*Lilibeth grins and continues to dance and talk.*

"Step, Step, turn.."

[Braehn Elendil An'Hiraeth 474]

*Artorus looks over at Thorenir and smiles "It hasn't been too long, only been a few months." He sips his wine, sloshing it around in his mouth before swallowing it. "Your son and Athirius are safe in Winter Hall, yet we must speak of your...di-" Piper nudges him in the arm and tilts her head towards the children dancing, and he smiles, the directing his gaze to Piper.

"He has that certain Elendil charm all the men in our family have." He smiles and looks back to Thorenir and whispers to him in a hushed, rough tone.

"Your broken oath to the Teuton's...you have dishonored yourself, Cousin, I hope you know what will come of this, we will speak more of this soon." Artorus finishes his wine and looks back to Piper, smiling "So My Lady Silverblade, how do you and Ser Mizu fare?"

[Dukester 120]

*Derrek Elendil chuckles as he dances with Elizabeth. However suddenly a Heralds boy runs to him and whispers something into his ear as Derrek's expression quickly changes. Derrek looks over the heads of the crowd into the direction of the doorway and then scans the room with a brief look before giving away a sigh*

"Elizabeth, it has been a privilege to dance with ye this night. But I must part from ye know as I must leave,"

*Derrek kisses Elizabeth on the forehead and struggles a smile to her upon his face. His expression then drops once more and makes his way to the bar where Artorus, Piper and Thorenir are talking. Derrek nods to each of them and leans into his grandfather to whisper something that the others do not hear*

"The rangers are departing now, in search of the Rhodir,"

[Goldd 126]

*Elizabeth looks up at him and lets him leave. She swishes her hair and then turns to him*

"Bye then, it has been a pleasure-"

*Lilibeth is now kissed on the forehead, and she blushes endlessly. She freezes in one place, not knowing what to make of that. She then starts twisting her hair around her finger nervously. It is obvious to everybody in the ballroom that she was kissed.*
