“It’s been a pleasure to dance with you as well, Miss Zaera, and please, just call me Talin. Your Highness is too formal for not being out helping the kingdom.” He smiled and stepped away from her, waving goodbye before going off to find the ambassador to dance with and to figure out whatever was happening with their relations with France.
"Decent. A bit confused. I love your dress, by the way." Jade looked at the shimmering green fabric. It truly was gorgeous.
Zia smiled. "Thank you so much. Yours is gorgeous as well."
Zaera gave a small wave back to the prince, before glancing around to make sure none of her family were nearby. She now had the pleasure of going back to avoiding them with all her being.
(Who’s all still here and generally active? I wanna eliminate people soon but Id only like to get rid of the characters that aren’t helping to the plot at all)
Soon he found the ambassador and started talking with her, nodding at the right times and saying all the right things. He offered her a hand to dance and smiled his charming, slightly fake, smile. She didn’t notice though and soon he was talking and dancing with her.
(Sorry I haven't been very active. You can eliminate my character)
(im active!)
(I've been active when there's people to talk to, but honestly if you eliminate my girl that'd be fine.)
(I'm decently active…)
"Decent. A bit confused. I love your dress, by the way." Jade looked at the shimmering green fabric. It truly was gorgeous.
Zia smiled. "Thank you so much. Yours is gorgeous as well."
"Thank you!" Jade smiled. "I, um, I actually designed it myself. But that was long ago. I found the sketch yesterday and thought it could be cool."
(Ok, I’ll keep everyone’s characters in that are active, and @MoxieMox, if you think you’d rather be eliminated so you don’t have to worry about being active that’s cool, but if you think you’ll be active then I’ll keep you in)
(My only thing is I'm not caught up so I don't really know what's going on. But also it's annoying when people ask to be caught up, so I don't wanna do that)
(I'm here too! I've been cleaning all day but I'm generally pretty active.)
(I can catch you up no problem Moxie! If you’d like I could PM you and explain everything instead of explaining it all on here?)
(If it's not too much trouble, yes please I'd appreciate that. Thank you so much!)
Talin seemed like the regal prince everyone saw him to be while he danced, making the meat impression he could and quietly discussing things. The ambassador was an interesting lady, with a personality that he had never seen before. Thankfully the song ended quicker than he thought and he bowed to her, dropping his mask as soon as he got out of range of her seeing him.
"That's amazing!!" Zia said enthusiastically. "You designed that? It's beautiful! I wish i had that type of skill."
Jane smoothed down the front of her baby blue gown. It's not that she hadn't been to an event similar to this before, but this was a whole new level. Some of the girls chatted here and there. The prince had just finished dancing with the French Ambassador. He had danced with a lot of the other girls, but not her yet. In fact, Jane hadn't had a lot of one on one time with the prince at all. No matter, she would get that chance tonight.
Talin scanned the room one more time for any of the girls he had forgotten to dance with, a small smile on his face when he saw Jane. He made his way over to her and half bowed to her, “Hello, Miss Jane If I’m correct?”
Jane smiled, surprised. She curtsied. "Yes Your Highness, Jane Sperry. The ball seems to be going very well, does it not?"
(Sorry my reply was short)
(It’s ok!)
“It does seem to be going well,” He replied with a nod and a smile, “I haven’t danced with you yet tonight, have I?” Talin glanced down at her dress, admiring the color for a moment before looking back up at her for her answer.
Jane noticed the Prince’s once-over. “You have not as a matter of fact. Have you come to ask me now?” she asked, blinking innocently.
A small smile moved onto his face and he shrugged, holding out a hand to her, “Only if you’ll dance with me.” He straightened his suit with his free hand and glanced at her to see what her answer would be.
“It would be my pleasure Your Majesty.” Jane took his hand and allowed him to lead her to the dance floor. She placed her other hand on his forearm and they started to dance. The music was pleasant and so was the company.
“So, Miss Jane, I haven’t had the chance to talk to you at all, mind telling me a little bit about yourself?” The prince danced gracefully as always, happy to meet another one of the girls that were in the selection.
(You can eliminate my character if you want. I won't be on a lot for a bit.)
