After a small moment to himself, Valarr returns to the dance floor...
A Royal Masquerade - The Prince Dances (Part 2 of 2)
Following the slight from his close friend, Lord Aelor, Valarr makes careful choice of his next partner.
The prince kicks off his return to the floor with The Little Sparrow (by @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants), where the pair is joined by her escorts for a dance. Soren teases the young man, claiming the next dance should be reserved for Hjordis. Following this lively dance the tempo slows, and he takes his place besides Lady Hestia (by @jonquilyst).
his eleventh dance is full of laughter, as The Pale Rose (by @lechairschair) stumbles over her own two feet and on occasion, his. After such graceful partners during the last few dances, he finds himself relaxed by the difference in demeanor with this partner.
the twelfth dance of the night is claimed by The Moonlit Maiden (by @thesimsoficeandfire), who awkwardly, avoids any eye contact with Valarr. During his following dance with Lady Venus (by @florians-simblr), the mother of three seems to have her focus taken away from the prince, with her own daughters beside them on the dance floor...
Only two more dances remain for the night, and the heir to Starfall has his final partners in mind from the presentations made earlier in the night.
he takes Lady Harlequin's (by @applesaucesims) hand, for another slow-paced-dance. The look of relief on Lady Andromeda's (by @seyvia) face is hidden by her mask, but the change in her demeanor is clear as she is offered the final dance of the night.
the music finally dies down, and a moment of respite is in reach for Valarr. Having danced with most of the eligible ladies thus far, he has now come to another moment of decision making.
From the 14 ladies who he shared a dance with; he decides on 10 with whom he would like to converse.
