in the time it takes rosaline to decide, glance around the place, and finally place her hand within his, he remained bowed. his patience was abound with her. only once she was satisfied they were alone, or decided she didn't care, did they begin dancing. luc could feel her heart in her wrist where two of his long fingers curled around. but, a part of him chalked it up to the fast pace of the dance.
once they'd slowed and began dancing a much different type, his hand settled gently on the small of her back. their joined hands came to rest against his chest between them. her body wasn't pressed to his, but their clothes did brush against one another as they swayed. ❝ i'd say yes for most people. ❞ at that, luc's head tilts and smiles down at her softly. ❝ i can't say that i've experienced it with many of my dance partners. ❞ maybe his dance partner's had felt it towards him. but, for him? it was a job. he'd do his best acting and manage a very convincing reproduction of the emotion. speaking of his job, as much as he wasn't a gentlemen in some regard, he was, in this case with her. they could stay here the whole night dancing like this and he wouldn't push for more. she'd need to give him some sort of permission. a kiss or words, preferrably.
luc lets go only enough to twirl her and then draw her back in. the action, he hoped, would draw some soft laughter from her again. he needed to hear it. once the princess is back to him, his arm is tighter around her waist, though still with room enough for plausible deniability. ❝ i'm glad my dance lessons hold up to someone with a royal dance instructor. ❞ blue-green eyes are trained down upon her face. while there was some playfulness within his voice, it was mostly quite soft. unable to help himself.
though his grip is gentle (courteous), it feels steady, tethering her to the moment, to the night, to the starlight, to him. for a minute, she can pretend that all this is real. that she isn't the princess of thornpointe, that she's just rosaline, that she can dance with whomever, whenever, and wherever she wants, that their swaying under the branches of the cherry willow is chosen and wholly romantic and not necessary for anything other than pleasure.
"...i can't say that i've experienced it with many of my dance partners..." the words echo, a seed planted from which thorny thoughts sprout, threatening to burst the dreamy bubble they'd created around themselves. she can't say she particularly cares about his other partners. there's only one which she's morbidly curious about, but she knows if she asks, she may not get the answer she wants––honestly, she can't even tell which answer would be preferable. she's been known to poke the occasional bear, but she doesn't think she'd survive the outcome of this particular attack. his smile is the only thing allowing her to maintain her sanity, continue on in the illusion without acknowledging the haziness between their current position and reality. she knows its his job to be this enchanting. she knows she's not supposed to be his client. she knows that whatever spark may be between them is dangerous, at best.
the twirl takes her by surprise, a soft giggle escaping her as the world blurs. "three instructors; i was told that i'd managed to scare off the first two." smile is playful as she recounts the circumstances of her training. this time, she's sure their proximity is his doing, but it doesn't feel close enough. rosaline finds herself floating closer, captivated by the eyes before her. her own gaze is searching, pleading for something that'll allow her to stay here with him instead of facing the implications of their association. her own voice is soft, almost breathless, but the request by no means an inquiry. "kiss me."
[ 📲 : rosie ] what the fuck
[ 📲 : rosie ] that's sabotage
[ 📲 : rosie ] okay, fine, damn. you're bossy 😍
[ 📲 : rosie ] i know you are 😏
[ 📲 : rosie ] what if i told you i'm already in a car outside of your house
[ 📲 : rosie ] i've been ready, girl
[ 📲 : rosie ] and i'll climb up the lattice outside your window as soon as i know you're inside to look down and watch me
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] if you don't want me to sabotage you, then don't play the game in the same room as me 🙄
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] but i think i'd also find a way to sabotage you via text...🤭
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] i've always been bossy 😘
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] extra points for being early
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] i'd say sorry to have kept you waiting, but i'm not, and you also get to see me walk into the building, so you're welcome
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] now get your ass up here!!!!!
no ai usage over here. you’re gonna get my shitty authentic writing whether you like it or not
[ 📲 : rosie ] it'll be more fun playing while laying next to each other
[ 📲 : rosie ] okay.... maybe not that exact phrasing but
[ 📲 : rosie ] i'm pretty sure it was on the sheet that i spoke french
[ 📲 : rosie ] whatever, not important, back to me being nude 😏
[ 📲 : rosie ] okay, fine fine fine
[ 📲 : rosie ] put that shit on and get over here 😘
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] true, i can tap on your screen and mess up your angles in realtime 😈
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] whatever, i'm telling you now, and i'm telling you never to use any variant of "oodles" again
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] you know i'm more than happy to go back to you being nude
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] which is exactly what's about to happen
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] i'm done here, heading out. you have 7 minutes
once she scolds the other men, the ladies sitting with her like her even less, she knows this without any proof. mina was always the odd one out, always favored by her mistress, and thus did not fit in with them. to be a supposed bastard child and get treated differently by all who interacted with her made her a target. she would likely pay for this later and be bothered endlessly later with ruthless words and even disturbing of her personal items. the ladies had stolen a fair few of her nicer items and she daren't say anything unless she wanted to be deemed a telltale and hated more so. but regardless of all of this, there was a grace about her nature and when she speaks up, people listen. the men at the table certainly did. margaery liked to bring her along to events and meetings that she considered important. between the two of them, the room was well and truly captivated as well as silent until given permission to speak.
when the man, who so clearly was above her station, offered his apologies and addressed her beyond that. mina was stunned. long lashes blinked at him, especially so when he his gaze commanded a whole room. something they had in common then. ❝ samina, sir, ❞ she hesitates before revealing her given last name, ❝ samina flowers. ❞ and with that she expected him to lose interest entirely, if he didn't it would be the second time he surprised her in mere moments. ❝ and you? ❞ being this close to him, his eyes are even more astonishingly blue. there were plenty of folk who had similar color irises, but not also with such a dark thicket of curls surrounding and paler skin. the contrast seemed to make them all the more intense. her gaze averted so that she could take a sip of tea, something to quell the nerves inside of her and maybe warm her heart also in case of rejection.
arctic irises search her face, her hesitation almost alarming. the pause is justified with the offering of her full name. flowers. he understands. it isn’t often that surnames resulting from certain conditions are regarded favourably. he, however, cares not for the extenuating circumstances of her upbringing. he would be a hypocrite to do so, his own family comprised of similar names and stories. “samina flowers,” he echoes, the edges of forested lips upturned. he catches his eye as it wanders through her features, hoping his potential indiscretion goes unnoticed. “a lovely name indeed. it is my pleasure to know it.”
soon enough it is his turn in their exchange of identities. he’ll admit, he’s not used to the anonymity afforded to him here. he has half a mind to procure a pseudonym, halt the reputation that precedes him before it can materialize. but he’s never been interested in deceit, nor has he been a particularly skilled actor. “robb stark of winterfell.” the words feel like an admission, mouth suddenly dry enough to warrant a sip of water from the glass placed for him. he can’t place the origination of the feeling. perhaps he’s hoping it won’t steer the direction of their conversation. maybe she hasn’t even heard of him before. the space between his previous words and the next seem to stretch on for far too long. he presses forth, turning his queries back to more interesting topics. “what brings you and your party this close to highgarden?”
adventures: had. warning: about to spam the dash a little bit
[ 📲 : rosie ] we CAN play 8-ball later
[ 📲 : rosie ] you didn't mark this down on your preference sheet

[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] okay but if you blow me off on the 8-ball again i'm gonna be so pissed

[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] of course i do. and it's not 8-ball, clearly
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] luc what the actual fuck
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] i'd rather you just start speaking fully in french at this point, that'd be more bearable than this
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] and sexier
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] noooooooooooooooo, it just gives me a chance to practice...anatomy 👀
[ 📲 : mr. slutty ] keep up your "boocoodles" bullshit and i'll do worse to your face
