John was relieved to be leaving the car and carl along with as they walked away from the car. John takes a breath then he leans down to nym and murmurs softly "I love you nym"
"I love you John." Right before they approached the grand doors she turn to John and gives him a kiss "Forever and always." The grande doors open and music floods the space
John smiled then marveled at the decor on the inside of the building when they walked in. John then pulls nym slightly closer to him as they continued to walk through a large hallway. The music got gradually louder the closer they got "Wow…"
"My mothers decided to throw an engagement party. They'll be here later." Nym began to walk down the large staircase to the dance floor that was crowded with people "I don't know why they did this, they know I hate crowds." She slowly began to panic at the amount of people
"Really!? That is quite considerate of them" John then frowns at nyms mention of not liking crowds so he whisper softly to nym so only she could hear him "I'm right here love…don't panic and if you want to leave anytime just tell me okay"
Nym looks at John with a weary smile "Not with out a dance, my prince." Nym bows toward John
John grimaces slightly when nym bows then he whispers fiercely hoping he didn't sound mean or angry when he spoke "Do not bow to me love! We are equals now…bowing to me means you are lower then me and I don't want you to think like that" John reaches out and takes nyms hands in his to get her to not bow
She takes his hand with a smile as she straightens "John, I am lower than you. I was born lower than you, but as you wish. I will not bow." She places her other hand on her chest wear the jade necklace he had once given her rested as a promise
Johns gaze softened as he pulled nym close and began to dance slowly with her "I know that, but that ring I gave you now excludes that. You are now a princess in all astute terms no matter if born in a lower class" John then smiles to himself seeing nym touch the jade necklace he had given her a long time ago
Nym dances with John, beaming all the while "Okay. I forgot how awful I am at dancing. I'm not super coordinated." She laughs letting John lead. The crowd began to spread out to watch Nym and John, but Nym hadn't noticed; she was lost in John's eyes
John smiles down at nyms beaming face then he leans in and places a kiss on nyms nose "Don't doubt yourself love…You are doing amazing baby" John chuckles softly unaware that the crowd around them had stepped back to watch them dance
The music faded and Nym steps back a bit, then she notices that everyone had been watching them. Her face was bright red and she ran toward the winding staircase, then toward the balcony. She hopped she hadn't scared John.
John frowns surprised at nym bolting from the room and up the large winding staircase. He then sheepishly waves at the people surrounding him then he leaves and follows where nym had ran to feeling slightly hurt and confused on why nym would suddenly run off
Nym was unsuspecting, she walked out onto the balcony for air. She inhales deeply as she stares at the sunset she feels a warm hand on her lower back "John I'm sorry, I don't handle crowds well."
Carl: "I know you don't, but I'm not John sweetheart."
Nym backs away from Carl smacking his hand away from her back "What the hell Carl?"
Carl: "I had to tell you John isn't right for you, I am! You're making a mistake, marrying a man that knows little about you and your family. He's not pure, sure his intentions may be, but he's scared." Carl takes a few steps toward Nym "I've known you long, Nym I love you."
Nym shakes her head "No Carl, what you want from me is my body and not my affection. I can't feel for you what I feel for John, he's everything to me. Don't take another step! Carl you're relived from you job, I'm hiring someone else." Nym turns to walk away and Carl grabs her wrist
Carl: "Wait, Nym. I know what you're doing you don't want to admit your feelings."
"Let go of me Carl!" She struggles against his grip "Why now of all times, my engagement party. I'm sick of this from you, get it through your head; I do not love you." Nym continues to struggle "John! John!"
John strides down a few hallways frowning when he failed to locate nym in the rooms he looked into. John then growls wondering where the hell she might of liked to hide. His head jerked up when he hears nym yelling his name. He jumps off running fast his eyes got darker the second he stepped onto the balcony seeing carl with his hand around nyms wrist and her struggling. John then moves with a calculated speed of a seasoned warrior and grabs carl by the neck causing him to release nyms wrist. John then flings carl aside like a rag doll and he turned to tower over him on the floor "Get your thieving little hands off of her! If you think you can manhandle her like that then how about you tell me how much you value your hands"
John growls and stomps over carl flicking his hand out and a blue sword appears in his hand. John lifts his sword preparing to relieve him of his hands. He then stops realizing what he was about to do and lowers the sword ,but still keeping it pointed at carl
Nym tumbles as John grabbed Carl and flung him, a shrill scream escaped her throat "No! Stop it, John! He's not worth it." Tears flooded her eyes and stream down her face as she stands up walking over to John slowly and calculated "John, put the sword down; please." She begged watching his face carefully "Please John. Damnit, put it down. He won't do it again, please."
John flicks his wrist disengaging his sword and turns away from carl then he faced nym already feeling ashamed at letting his anger get the best of him. John looks into nyms eyes and concentrated on slowing his breathing down hoping his eyes didn't show traces of turning red. He then tentatively reaches out to touch nym and spoke softly in a cracked voice hoping to god that he didn't scare her to the point of running away from him "Nym…I'm sorry…I wasn't going to hurt him, I promise…"
Nym steps away from John "Don't touch me, please. I don't think I could handle the stimulation." Tears continued to stream "Carl, get up. I don't want to see you again, I will be informing the council of this." Nym looks down trying to control her sobbing "I need a drink, I'm going to the bar. John, I swear if you hurt him." Nym slowly turns and walks away toward the bar
Carl: stands and walks after Nym "Wait, Miss Tuir!"
"I don't want to hear it Carl! Just go!" Nym turns, her eyes red with anger and her fists balled. All the candles scattered around the ballroom burned brighter "I was happy until you decided to come in here ruining my night! I'm sick of you, It's the same shit! Just leave." Nym turned and stormed down to the bar
John winces and drops his hand and allows nym to leave, he then leaves the balcony as well down back to the party and tried hard to mingle with the people for while. John worried about nym and tried keeping an eye on her as he was at the bar getting a drink. After a while John felt a need to leave and excused himself quietly from the party quickly walking to the front door feeling like it was hard to breath
After a few drinks Nym stumbles around to find John. She steps out into the cool night air "John, John where are you love?" Nym stumbles around more
John was leaned up against the building wall in the front, his head jerked up when he heard nym stumble out and call out his name. John the walks over to nym and holds out his hand to help nym steady herself "Nym…Are you okay?…."
"Oh! There you are! I'm fine, I let myself get drunk. I just wanted to say sorry, I grew too lonely and I usually don't drink alone." Nym hesitantly takes his hand to steady herself "I did have one more thing planned, after that little fiasco I don't know if you still want to go."
John sighs softly feeling relieved when nym grabs onto his hand. He then shakes his head at her telling him that she was drunk "Are you sure that you are okay enough to be doing anything more love? And I want to apologize for the way I acted…that wasn't right and I am sorry"
"I'm fine, I promise. It's nothing too vigorous. Also, it's okay I'm sorry you had to see my fury. I almost throw him off the balcony." Nym slumps into John
John hestantly wraps an arm around nym to hold her up and laughs softly forgiving her "It's okay, and I would love to do what you had planned in mind love" John takes in a deep breath and tightens his arm slightly to make sure nym won't fall
