Time Line W/Moon+Rodeo

[Pool of the Moon]

He looked over as she spoke smiling a bit "Your welcome" he said softly and looked down and sighed. He knew he should not have but he had formed an attachment to this girl and wanted to help her in any way he could. He took a deep breath before he spoke "Murina if you ever need anything I am always here to help" he said softly "And if Timothy ever needs help or advice I hope you would allow me or my mother to help... as much as I hate to admit it he has managed to charm his way into our hearts and we only wish the best for the both of you"

[ShadowStarFang]

Murina smiled, looking away as he welcomed her for his actions. Why was he so sweet to her? When he sounded like he was starting a sigh, she looked over. Words spilled out of his mouth softly as he talked, his sweet voice surrounding her head. The words lined her thoughts, smiling up to him, then back down to her apple. "Thank you." She said, taking a bite as he spoke the rest of his thoughts.
She smiled and nodded. "Yes, I shall keep that in mind." The female confirmed what she was told.
"Mitchell, are we needed back at the palace anytime soon?" She asked him, pausing her steps and looking up to the guard.

[Pool of the Moon]

Mitchell smiled relieved as she seemed to not only be ok with his words but also to almost be calmed by them and it reassured him that he had not offended or angered her. As she spoke he nodded gently glad she would keep it in mind then frowned slightly as she asked about their return "I do not believe so unless there are tasks that you yourself need to handle " he said gently

[ShadowStarFang]

She nodded, accepting his answer. "Okay..." She thought. Anything she had to do was with Timothy, but he was in faithful hands. "Mitchell, I may have asked this already, but what day is the ball?" She asked, wanting to know. Though she heard people danced, but she didn't know how to dance. It wasn't a needed skill among her level. Besides, she was going to be so out of place there, being just a maid.

[Pool of the Moon]

He nodded and then looked to her "The upcoming Tuesday" he said and glanced up at the sky then back to her "Are you nervous about the dance?" He asked softly and then walked slowly through the trees

[ShadowStarFang]

the upcoming tuesday... Murina thought to herself, realizing how close that truly was. She looked at her feet and touched her hand to her collar bones, where a necklace would usually sit as she watched her steps and Micheal speaking again. "Oh what? Nervous? no..." She shrugged at the word no. She wasn't nervous about it, she was nervous at not knowing how to dance or anything of the likes. She followed his steps, the grass so lush at her feet. How they kept it and the trees so well baffled her, but it was what it was. "I'd say I'm more... apprehensive of the fact it's such a large gathering and the etiquette.. all of which I know nothing of the sorts." She looked back up to him.

[Pool of the Moon]

Mitchell watched her nervous behavior as she moved to touch her collar bone as if missing something there and then watched her steps next to his own in the grass "Well if you would like I could teach you at least some if not most of it... you learn quickly I'm sure you would be easy to teach" he offered her when she looked back up at him again and he offered her a kind smile

[ShadowStarFang]

Murina was astonished at his quick offer to teach her. Sooner the better to learn. “I would be greatly honored and happy to be taught by you. I never expected you to know I guess...” her voice trailed off. The more and more time she spent around Mitchell, the more her guard was let down. She didn’t realize she was doing this, but if she knew, she would turn a cold shoulder to prevent heartbreak. Then again, Timothy was benefitting, so she couldn’t turn away even if she wanted to. Not yet at least. Then again, she knew none of this, having not realized her guard was down around him.

[Pool of the Moon]

Mitchell smiled softly and nodded to her "It would be my pleasure to teach you" he said and chuckle a little "Uh yes I grew up and watched many of the upper class dance and learned the steps... also being the lady that she is my mother insisted that I learn and helped to teach me when I was young" he said with a small smile and glanced to her offering her his hand "Here I can not offer any music but there is enough room and quiet to learn if you would like"

[ShadowStarFang]

The female was almost shocked, at least internally about all this. She took his hand, probably not correctly in the way they taught for dancing, but she knew nothing. "It's alright, the lack of music won't bother me." This was something that she often only hummed about, music being quite uncommon unless in the town square with the market, or the castle she has been told. Her eyes looked to him, now unsure of the next step, only have taking his hand and awaiting his instructions.
