Martelai returns in the tavern as the sun sets. He's wearing resplended indigo coat with purple trimmings, hard shoes and white ... hm...socks? Think Benjamin Franklin time american city clotching (except much leaner then he was
)
He sweeps the taverns and at first passes over Bell without stopping. He then stops, slowly returning his gaze to her. He approaches, big smile on his face...
"Good evening, good lady. I see you used time before our meeting well. You look...resplendant." he bows in front of her and offers her a hand (mostly hoping to stabilize her). He shoots sharp look toward drow arbalesteer as she works hard to maintain serious face.
He takes the girl out. On the way he subtly directs the question of dancing in high heels and with train that drags behind, but if Bell doesn't show inclination to go into one of the soon-to-close shops he gentlemanly bears it. He does his best to make the girl feel relaxed and at peace.
Over the course of the evening he asks about her, shows attention, speaks of himself if she asks and in general, tries to get to know her better.
At the end of the evening he delivers her to her doorstep (Hanged Man?) and tentatively bows down to kiss her.
[sblock=For Body language readers and ScorpiusRisk] he works hard to avoid pressuring her into anything and is somewhat tense and ready to withdraw
background story: He would hate to be seen as one of elves that seduce innocents only to leave them once their lust is sated
Eternal problem of the man near double girls age
- well it's only few years, but still...

"Thank you for wonderful evening, little lady." he kisses her hand and takes his leave.
(He of course returns little bit later to sleep in his room in Hanged Man, it was just proper for him to leave
)

Martelai is second level starlock, near 3rd level. Ready for anything. Except still not approved. I need to go shopping now that we established how much money is available...

[sblock=EDIT: AS SOMEBODY NICELY POINTED OUT TO ME (in PM)
I'm not judging or anything, but uh, you do realize that Bell is 14? Right?
Actually, no, I didn't.
I don't read other people history unless IC info is given (and/or referenced)
Besides, middle ages time...girls from fables such as Sleeping Beauty, snowwhite and cindarella all have explicitely stated years of 15....
That said, if I knew, I probably wouldn't be so seductive, but more like big brother
