He blushes deeper, looking at the ground. "Well, the specific dance that you use depends on what music is being played. For instance in 3/4 time, you can do a minuet or a waltz (and some other ones but those are the most well-known) which you do based on where the emphasis is, which beat." Aubrey looks around. "Alexander! Kannst du hier oben etwas Musik spielen? Ich unterrichte Tanzunterricht," she calls downstairs. Quote "Alexander! Can you play some music up here? I'm teaching dance lessons." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmilingPanda19 Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 3 hours ago, Ookla the Lotus said: "I... I am," her hands flew to her shawl. It fell around her shoulders, ripped. Beneath the shawl a beautiful, delicate face was revealed. Her lips were red and her skin was far too pale. She had a bruise along the side of her face and a bloody ear. Her eyebrow was slit and blood dried on her lower lip. A beautiful face, marred by cruelty. "You are drunk, Cedric," she said at last, struggling to sit up in the carriage, "You're drunk and I need you to stop talking." She adjusted her dress as she sat in the carriage which began to move, throwing her from side to side. Once she took a few breaths, she smiled. "Yes. I am your future bride. Isn't it wonderful?" She held his hand gently. He waves his hand drunkly, flipping the one she’s holding around to hold hers. He leans towards her. ”I am not druuuunk-“ he slurs, hiccuping quietly with the carriage bump. He moves closer to her, pressing up against her. ”You just need to behave yourself and listen.” He goes in for a very lazy kiss. The carriage moves around the man in the road, sliding it one way so he is forced on top of her with the lean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carriage moves around the man in the road, sliding it one way so he is forced on top of her with the lean. Mae gently placed her hands on his face and pressed him off of her, preventing the kiss. She pushed into him, moving him towards his side of the carriage. She began fussing over his coat, collar, and hat, sitting upright. "Yes," she started, taking off his hat and readjusting his hair distastefully, "You are drunk. And so am I." She paused for a moment to smile. "Well, would you look at that? We're both drunk! That's another thing we have in common. For some reason I keep finding my list run short these days." She began to fold his collar back out and tighten his bowtie. "Where was I? Yes. I remember. Cedric, you are drunk, and you are tired. Don't you want some rest?" He had gotten very drunk from the ambrosia, but she knew what to do in a situation like this. He was most vulnerable now, so he couldn't actually hurt her that much. All she had to do was distract him. And she could always get out of the carriage. The real problem only would come up once they get home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Lord does he need to cut his hair… I think to myself, I seem quite delicate and fragile on the outside, like a perfect glass figurine, but inside this is not anywhere near where I want to be. I trip over my feet a little. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
