Esme and Keith were attending a ball. She was wearing a light green ball gown that had lace on it. Her lips were a nude pink and she was already blushing.
(OOC: good work on the time skip. feel free to inbox me if you want to discuss plot or anything else in future. :) )Keith was dressed in his usual royal finery as he led Esme around the ballroom floor. His lead was easy to follow and they floated over the floor like leaves caught in an autumn breeze. When the song concluded he had pulled her in close, piercing green eyes staring without constraint. The blush that coloured her cheeks made him smile even wider and it deepened after he kissed her. He grinned, proud of his effect on her.He was about to launch her into yet another song when Luke interjected. The disdain on Keith's face was palpable."I'm sorry, Your Highness, but the guests of honour have arrived.""No explanation that they were already late? Inexcusable." He looked to the woman fluttering about in his arms and he grinned again. "You better keep that face just for me, Esme," he murmured, kissing her cheek again. "I must work, now. I will return for your hand again soon." His face sterned a moment. "No other dance partners!" While his jealousy was unfounded, he still felt extremely protective of the young woman he was releasing from his sturdy grasp. As he walked away and left her sight, he spoke with one of the attendants quickly, then followed Luke out of the room.redninjakitty14
