Lady Kitty found herself in a tree picking a colored leaf that stood out from the rest. It’s amber hue caught the attention of her brown eyes, and up she went. Regardless of what a lady should be doing. Once she plucked it, her grip it round it tightened. Just as quickly as she climbed up, she had to come down. Kitty may not follow all the rules, but she knew if she was caught hanging in a tree when Mary came running for her, she’d be threatened with her maiden’s favourite, ‘You will be kissing the hare’s foot if you don’t act your age.’ line, even though she didn’t have much say over the childish noble. 

Katrin’s body dangled from the tree, but, she wasn’t in panic. The expression on her face was silly though. It was getting a little hard for her to look down, tighten her grip and jump when she still had the autumn leaf in here hand. Before she could even think to readjust her grip, her fingers slipped and she came falling out of the tree. Though the Lady was small in size, the fall wasn’t all the bad. With no concern for the rest of the body, she opened her hand happy to see the leaf stuck in between her fingers.

There’d been a time, a long stretch of it in fact, when the prince had only one good outlet for his frustrations. Somewhere during his countless visits to the castles practice yard he gotten a talent for it. Getting drunk and sword fighting the only talents he’d bred into himself, and he’d surely tended to one more than the other since being sent to English court. 

He felt sweat coming from his skin as the two’s breathing and laughter filled the air, the man throwing up a hand to stop before nodding in the direction of one of the entryways. James turned pulled back his hair. “What’s this? Spectators?” He chuckled handing his knife to one of the men working. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

Kitty grew bored of writing letters and stamping them off to whomever they needed to be sent to, if she had to sit at her desk any longer, she’d for sure nod of to sleep. Tapping the feather against her lips, she thought to herself in a long, irritated sigh. Maybe... she could go down to the training grounds. To make sure all the knights are training properly, of course. “I am getting agitated.” She said, putting down the stencils in her hands as she stood up. “Mary, I am going out.” 

Soon, the woman was in the company of the knights. Kitty had dressed her self in her favorite outside gown and she brought a small fan to cover her rose colored lips as she smiled and watched. It wasn’t until a knight approached her did she remove it, “To my curiosity.. ” She told the man, her eyes secretly trailing down his bare chest.

“Maybe i’ve made a mistake by coming here” 

Eoin spoke out loud as he stood near the tables at the ball, he had danced with many a girls but not many had caught his eyes. That was until he saw her. Eoin walked up to her and offered his hand and bowed. “Would you like to dance?” He asked, eagerly awaiting the woman’s answer.

The inviting sound of instruments and townspeople enjoying themselves had Kitty in awe. Her eyes bounced from one couple dancing and twirling, to another. She, herself began spinning to the music- mimicking them as she skimmed the party some more. Kitty couldn’t help but to smile, her cheeks were almost as pick as her lips. It’s been awhile since she’d been to a ball so lively, and exciting. 

As she picked up her dress, the woman stopped on her toes. Her posture straightened, trying to hide her excitement.  Who is this? She thought, immediately bowing with him as her eyes fell onto his hair. She quickly smiled, gently placing her hand onto his. “Oh, I would love to-... however, you’ll have to keep up.” Kitty told him, pulling him along, her free hand lifting up her dress as she rushed to the middle of the dance floor.
