Her cheeks reddened, and that was amusing to him, of course he wouldn't press to hard, but perhaps making her blush more would satiate his need to mess with others. Her choice of words caused him to smile again as the word "partner" could be taken many ways, and she was just going to make this far to easy for him. So with him guiding her along the dance floor lost in their own little bubble he noticed that she had turned to observe around them as the strange misty dance floor coiled close to them, and he deftly danced them both away from it. The source of the strange phenomenon seemed to be from Fernando, and his dance partner, but soon they were lost to his sight, and he turned his gaze back to the woman currently in his arms. Adontis was finally cheering up, sparking his cheeks excitedly.

"Am I an important person?" he shook his head to her, to him it wasn't necessarily a lie. Not many knew of him in this region, and those who did he could count on one hand. To say that he was important wasn't entirely true, he had a lot of money, and had made many smart investments over his tenure in this region. "Not in the slightest, I am just a stranger in a strange land with a beautiful woman in my arms." A charming smile crossed his face as teal eyes pierced into her gaze. "Sort of like a fairy tale, where a lost prince goes to find his princess." Was he flirting with her, and as he dipped her down, his body hovering over hers he just smiled at her once more. "So Miss Kaida...Will you be my Princess? If only for tonight?" Amor knew it was cheesy, but he was having a bit of fun, and who cared if it was full of cheese? Sometimes you had to have the confidence to back up lines like that, and confidence was something he certainly didn't lack.

So while keeping her close, and staring into her eyes he wondered what sort of reaction she would show him, it was obvious that he was flirting with her, he wasn't about subtlety when it came to things like this. Why climb over the wall, or dig under it when you can just barrel through it at top speed, and announce your intentions from the get go? While he had plenty of social decorum, when it came to this Amor was just simply upfront, and blunt. Many women found that slightly off putting, and he couldn't blame them, but it still amused him.

-Amor used flirting on Kaida!
-Amor used Compliment on Kaida!

STAR SOIREE

A NIGHT THAT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD

THEIR EYES ALIGN LIKE STARS. A pair of lovers, crossed by fate, create a constellation from their resentment. It twinkles from his gaze, passed to her as a source of empowerment. And, like all great vices, it proves infectious.

The way her resolve curls past his ears earns his approval but he never voices is aloud. Indignation is cast from his stare and he sees it in the way she smiles. Such a sweet and sickly gesture that he almost feels the need to rip it right off her.

But he never gets the chance. A change in music ruins the mood. It doesn’t impede him, greater Silphs have tried, but it starts a cacophony of disarray as bodies cut through the ballroom. Even Remiel Calcifet manages to part them, obviously intentional, as Fernando returns his huff.

“Jealousy is a fickle beast.” The comment is made out of earshot and shared between damaged goods. “Not an appealing look for Mister Calcifet.”

He takes her hand once more.

“More.”

A sweep spread demands that she follows along. Scorn paints his face as he remembers his teacher’s words. One, two, twist. They sound louder now, the forefront of his attention, as he shows off just how glamorous the ex-Head Scientist can be.


“A pleasure, Illeana.”

The dance ends as the crescendo of @deacon’s clownery comes to pass. So too does the frantic rumble of the soiree guest as an Unown is captured outside.

“Be sure to enjoy yourself tonight.”

He thanks her with a genuine smile, all too comfortable with the awkward aftermath that will undoubtedly follow.

“I’ll be off then.”

And with that he departs to meet up with someone left waiting much too long.

Killian Decker.

The time for dancing and pleasantries are over.

TL;DR:

- comments on Remiel Calcifet cutting between them to illeana
- prompts her to conclude their dance
- oblivious that @deacon's music was meant for them
- leaves her to herself after their dance

A princess?

Kaida had no experience in romance, nor flirtation. Her developmental years having been far too chaotic and frankly, confusing for any exploration, followed immediately by her taking on the mantle of Ranger. She never received such unbashed flirtation, likely driving away any potential suitors with her general aloofness and choice of companionship in Pokemon. It was no secret (she hoped) that she cared about the likes of her family, the select few she chose to bond with...yet such affections never proceeded beyond that. She wouldn't try. But this...this was confusing.

"I'm no princess." She stated the fact bluntly, like it was ever a question. She had heard tales of magical princesses, surrounded by Pokemon big and small, never serpents though, "I'm nothing but a stranger too." Her eyes were narrowed in thought, seriously contemplating what her next move could be. In all sincerity, this place was probably safe. Ormr and Bragi would surely notice any danger (unrelated to the ridiculous commotion happening nearby). For the moment, she was safe.

She had already pretended to be a normal human so long. Why not adopt a mantle of princess for a little? Be somebody important?

"However, I accept Amor. I may not be much, but I will always complete expectations." She didn't think she was much of a princess (Arceus, she wasn't much of a human!), but her life had been strange enough this year. Surely, with a Litleo's starry blessing, she could adopt a royal stance with this man, if only for a day?

tl;dr: Dance dance! With Amor Rose
