Rowaini Musketeers: One For All and All For One

[Shayuri]

On finishing the dance with Anne, Jacen bows gracefully to her and seems perfectly sincere, and maybe even a little surprised at himself, when he says, "Thanks for the dance, Anne. It was...nice. Even fun! I'd ask for another, but I'm pretty sure Tristan would throw a wineglass at me if I didn't mingle some." He grins.

(when's he supposed to meet that lady outside again?)

*The dances continue for just the right time to give everyone a good time, at least for an intro, and then there is another break to allow people to mingle and talk.*

Tristan bows deeply to Angelique. "Thank you for the dance Angelique. It has been too long since I lasted danced, and longer still with such a lovely young lady. I am afraid the demands of serving his Majesty do take their toll. My apologies if my footwork was a bit rusty. Perhaps a little wine to refresh us between dances?" asks Tristan offering his arm to Angelique.

Hyacinthe stay where he is, trying to keep his head and not falling for that Witch charm, because only a witch or a member of the royal family could be so lovely in his opinion. If she leaves teh dancefloor, he will try to approach and try to overhear her conversation.

*This room doubles as a ballroom and great hall, such that the dances can be seamlessly intermingled with conversation. So she does stick around, but as dancing has ended, she begins to talk instead, and as before, a large crowd builds around her. Hyacinthe makes sure to get himself into that crowd. Mlle X, for her part, seems to talk very little--she loves to listen to other people talking, which works out since a lot of the noblemen like to talk about themselves. She generally speaks to ask questions and lead the conversation forward, never revealing anything about herself but simply listening, as if raptly fascinated with the sometimes trivial details and anecdotes with which these young men are assaulting her.*

"You dance...very well. Come find me later this evening if you'd like to...talk," Anne leans in to give him a kiss as she runs her finger down his smooth cheek, and then she is apart and waving her farewell.

(OOC: Right now, actually--Marie wanted you to meet her in the garden after the first break in the dance)

"Do you go off on duty that often? Your Saints must be watching over you to keep you safe through all of that. How did you find the free time to spend now, then."

OOC: So, is there anything about Mademoiselle X that gives Gabriel the feeling he might have met or seen her before?

(OOC: No, and he's sure he would remember those eyes)

“Well, I shall have to see what I can do about making her less mad with me then, though I can’t fault your choice, as she is as you say hot, so it won’t hurt my reputation one bit,” Gabriel chuckles. “Of course, you’re not without your own charms, lovely Zoe, though one would always wonder whether they were just being set up for something,” he adds, dropping his right hand to give her a little pinch on the bottom, before spinning her out so she hopefully can’t react immediately. “Sorry, couldn’t help myself,” he says with a wink.

*Zoe shrugs, seeming not to care about being pinched.*

"If you say so."

“Hmm, that does seem to be the question of the night, and you’re likely quite right about her beauty haunting my dreams, though I’m hoping not to sleep overmuch tonight,” he remarks with a grin. “Indeed, her movement was truely astounding, I’ve not seen many move like that, even among the greatest blademasters...”

"Well...it was quite...spectacular. But imagine what she could have done if she hadn't been cumbered by that fancy dress. It has to be slowing her down, and of course, with her dress off, her little display would have been even more distracting to men's eyes."

“Well, I hope you’ve had fun during our dance, Zoe,” he says, bowing and bringing her hand to his lips. “Now would you like me to introduce you to our young Jacen, or would you like to make that approach on your own?”

"He looks like he's going somewhere. I'll tag him later, I think."

Blushing furiously, Jacen still manages not to turn away until Anne's gone...then puts his hand over where she ran her finger. He seems at a loss...then covers his mouth and laughs discretely as he heads for the double doors of the great hall, intent on getting to the garden. He almost forgets to bring a pair of wine glasses on his way out.

Almost.

*Marie is waiting in the garden, tending to some of the flowers. When she hears the sounds of Jacen's approach, she twists around startledly as if afraid it could be someone else, but when she sees Jacen, she sighs and her face lights upL*

"Jacen! I was worried you might not come. Now...you said--would you be willing to show me some of your techniques?"

 

[unleashed]

"If you say so."

“No fun at all my lady, no fun at all,” Gabriel chuckles.

"Well...it was quite...spectacular. But imagine what she could have done if she hadn't been cumbered by that fancy dress. It has to be slowing her down, and of course, with her dress off, her little display would have been even more distracting to men's eyes."

“As much as that would be a sight to see, I feel the lady knows well the effect her beauty has on men, and comports herself accordingly so as not to create a scene even larger than she already does. Of course that particular line of thought has nothing to do with pulling more pranks, now does it?” he says with a knowing smile.

"He looks like he's going somewhere. I'll tag him later, I think."

“Well then, if you do not wish anything else of me for the moment, I will bid you adieu for now, lovely Zoe, and see if Valerie is still cross with meas you suspect,” he grins.

"Definitely!" Jacen agrees brightly. He sets the glasses down and says, "It'll be thirsty work, so I brought a little refreshment for later... Now, we'll need something to practice with. A pair of reasonably stout sticks would work..."

He looks around to see what's readily at hand.
