Nico lit up brighter than ever before, barely able to mumble the words, "See ya." His fingers traveled to where she'd kissed him and would stay glued to his face for the next several minutes while he thought on what had just occurred. The rest of the world seemed fuzzy, as though he'd been drinking, yet at the same time, things seemed clearer than ever before. It was, it was, it was... Oh, it was wonderful. 

"You've never danced with me like that before."

All the brighteness in the room seemed to drain. Stars, not tonight, please. "'Livia..."

"Well, yes, who else. I raised you, Nicolae, don't you think I'd want to be there for your first crush? A shame she has to die, since you didn't follow my orders."

Nico glared. "You wouldn't lay a hand on her."

The much older woman smiled, shoving him playfully but hard. "You and I both know you could never hurt me. You're too much of a coward."

"Maybe so, but I know I'm not a whore; You are. Shoulda figured that a long time ago. Now go away. Doesn't you have work to do?"

His new apparent backbone did not seem to impress Allivia. She cackled at him, beginning to back him into a corner. "You really like this girl, don't you, Nico? Defying me, cutting up your arms to go to sick bay and see her? Yes, I heard all about that and I'll admit, this new relationship is starting to really get on my nerves." She grabbed him by his tunic, pulling him in close enough to feel her breath on his face. "I'll make sure she suffers, Kimby. She'll wish the Raveness was working on her and it'll be weeks before I finally let her die. I hope you liked that little kiss she gave you, because it's the last time you'll ever see her again!"

Nico flinched, bracing to be hit. 

And Allivia smiled. "Oh, good boy. Good boyNicolae. You know exactly what you're supposed to do. And you know, it's not all bad. I'm a better kisser anyway." She locked lips with him.

Nicolae squirmed. No, he thought, desperate. His stomach churned, but something had changed in him since the last time she'd pushed him around like this. Hardly thinking, he stomped on her foot hard with the heel of his boot. She released him immediately to cry out and the moment she did, he shoved her into a cart of food. Nico didn't even look back to see the crash, but he heard it as he ran back to where Ivian was sitting. When he got to his post (almost having lost his hat in his flight) he was panting slightly and Allivia's lipstick was smeared on his face.

There's no way that two mischevious young children like Katie and Arabella would let something like a set of rules stop them from enjoying a ball.

"What in mal was that?" Ivian asked.

"It'll let me know you really care," Riva said after an eyeroll.

"I don't care," Caden lied once more, "I'm a military general, and we don't like dancing. Even if that dancing is wonderful."

Riva chuckled. "Yes, Caden, it was indeed wonderful. I'm glad you admit at least that much. You're funnier than you give yourself credit." 

"I'm not-" He sighed, taking a sip of the drink. "You're insufferable, you know." Caden used the glass to try and hide the grin that was leaking onto his face despite his best efforts.

"Well, ah..." Ivian watched a group of servants flock to the scene. "Seems that you held the fort rather proficiently. Well done, I suppose."

Nico found himself glaring. There was nothing about what he had just done that should be congratulated. "Thank you, sir," he said tightly.

Just now, The Ward's Guard said:

"I'm not-" He sighed, taking a sip of the drink. "You're insufferable, you know." Caden used the glass to try and hide the grin that was leaking onto his face despite his best efforts.

"Look! Oh, oh, oh, I wish I could save this moment forever. Look at that charming smile!"

"Oh hush, you're making us look approachable."

"No..." I just don' feel safe nowhere else righ' now.

Riva sat up and looked around. Her eyes locked on an unfortunate young noble. "What are you gawking at?" she demanded. 

The poor boy squeaked. "Uh... uh... Lady Raven, I-"

"Oh, shut up." 

He quickly ran way and she hissed after him. "There." Riva looked back up at her date. "Much better."

"He won't be the only one," Caden growled softly.

"Come on!" Katie giggled, pulling Arabella along towards the ballroom. "They have lots of tasty stuff there! Like apple juice!"

@Vapor

"And lots of sweets?" Ara asked.

"She's working," Nico explained. "I doesn't wanna bother her."

Ivian looked around the ballroom and made a mental ratio of working waitresses to relaxing waitresses: approximately one to five, it seemed.

Just now, Vapor said:

"And lots of sweets?" Ara asked.

"Yeah!"
