curious, raja turned again to the dance floor. She was surrounded by such ELEGANCE. Perhaps she was misplaced as she stood there in her simple garb. The entertainer was grateful her companion could see beyond petty society.
❛ I’m glad I haven’t managed to waste your time, this evening. ❜ Raja confessed. She found herself drawn again to the dance. She adored the LIBERATION. It was a brief release of her woes, her heart light and smile shining. Raja understood her companion’s hesitation. To wield such power with an ever present grace was admirable. The entertainer’s teeth sank into her lower lip. She took a step in approach to the rest of the company, extending a hand to her majesty with a bow of her head. ❛ Perhaps, it might be time to change that, if I may be so bold? ❜
“Pleasant company and conversation is never a waste of time,” she stated simply. Truthfully Elsa was glad that someone like Raja, who was not a born and bred noble or royal of comparable status, felt comfortable speaking to her. She fully believed that a true queen was not only willing, but glad to converse with all manner of people. If she wasn’t approachable to the common people—being approachable at all was still a new, thrilling phenomenon for Elsa—how effective of a ruler could she possibly be?
Catching the flash of uncertainty in Raja’s expression, Elsa was about to inquire, only for surprise to color her own features as the redhead bowed and extended a hand. On its own accord the hesitation of old crept back into her heart, causing her fingers to twine loosely at her middle. But as quickly as it had returned, the queen banished her ridiculous reluctance with a firm reminder: she was in control now. The ice didn’t command her any longer, which meant that for once in her life there was nothing stopping her from enjoying this event to the fullest. It seemed that old habits were indeed hard to break.
Her grin was quick to return. “You know, perhaps you’re right. It’s been far too long, I think.” In a graceful motion she dipped at the waist, one hand holding one side of her skirt to complete the curtsey as the other took Raja’s in a light hold. “It would be my pleasure. Though, I hope you’ll forgive me for being a bit rusty.”
