Delphine:
Delphine smiled at the compliment. “Well of course I do, but I like hearing you say it.” slipped from her lips in a flirty little tone. “Also I don’t think you have to try that hard, you’re kind of naturally yummy,” her hand traveled from its place at his lapels to trace the line of his neck and jaw. Her teethed tugged at her lower lip as she did so. “But in all seriousness, I’m really glad we got to come together. I’ve never had a proper date for anything like this before. I’ve always been solo, which I mean I can deal with. But even I like to be shown off a little on a sweet Princes’ arm from time to time.” In all honesty, she could have had plenty of dates last year. She just hadn’t been interested in any of them. But that little fact didn’t have to be spoken. She went silent for a moment, her fingers tracing around the curve of his ear, before playing a bit with his hair. She couldn’t help but smile at how he visibly responded to her touch. It was always so much fun to play with him. Though she stopped her movements abruptly as she spoke. “We should dance, Isn’t that the proper thing to do at one of these balls?”
it was a little hard to imagine that she had been going alone to the previous functions that were thrown but, he could understand making that choice. Juline himself had made that choice most balls or whatever else was thrown. it was easier that way for him. his general lack of connection making with people in that way didn’t always make people happy. but all of that was in the past as Delphine traced the lines of his neck to his jaw. sometimes he could forget how to breathe and wonder if it was a good way to die. which was, more morbid than he generally tended to think but, there was maybe room for it in his life.leaning into her touch softly, he was at a loss when she stopped before suddenly declaring they should dance. “dancing is something that happens at balls.” he answered easily as he moved to stand and hold his hand out to her. she liked gestures so, he figured he would make one. “would you give me the pleasure of dancing with me?”
