The Selection (1x1 with AnnaCat17)

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Thank you for the dance, your Highness." Elliott wished the song hadn't ended yet. She wanted to stay in his arms forever. This was a lovely memory to have for her first party. She made her way over to Solace and took a seat, glancing around the room for Victory, but couldn't find her.

Pavel casually walked over to Abril, taking not of her glare at Jessica. "Would you care to dance with me?" He asked her as the next song began.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Yes. I'd like that." Abril took his hand with a sigh. She tried to push away her dislike for Jessica and concern for Victory and forced herself to relax.

Pavel pulled her closer as they danced then he had with Elliott. He gave her a smile as they started dancing and asked in a quiet voice. "Why was Lady Victory crying?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

OOC: I think I'm starting to see favourites.

Abril slowly started to relax as they began to dance, and returned his smile before becoming serious again. "Someone slipped a piece of glass into her shoe when she had set them aside to dance. Romeo is bringing her to a doctor."

[AnnaCat17]

Hehe. Yup)

Pavel released an annoyed noise but continued dancing with her. "Thank you for your honesty Lady Abril." He glanced around the room and spotted Matteo stealing more sweets. He wasnt the type to do dangerous pranks so odds were it was one of the girls. "How are you feeling about the report tomorrow?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"I will always be honest with you, your Highness." Abril follow his gaze to Matteo. "I highly doubt it was him, your Highness," she said bluntly. "I have a suspect already, but it's one of the other contestants. But until I have actual proof, she gets away with it." She pushed it away, wanting to relax. "I'm a bit nervous," she admitted. "But it'll be fine."

[AnnaCat17]

"You will do great. Already the cameras here seem to love you so it should be no different there. Just show them the person you have been showing me." He said quietly to her, his lips briefly brushing her forehead as he spoke.

Romeo came back in and sat with Solace and Elliott. "I got blood on my suit." He complained, looking at the blood drops on his green suit. "This is going to be such a pain to get out."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Abril felt a glow of happiness as he kissed her forehead. "Very well. I shall pretend I am speaking to you instead, then." She smiled a bit at him.

"Blood? Why would you have blood on your suit?" Elliott asked, horrified.

[AnnaCat17]

"If it helps then thats a good idea. I know a lot of the girls here would just be made more nervous by that." He said as the song ended amd they stopped dancing. "I hope you have a good evening Lady Abril. It was a pleasure dancing with you."

"Lady Victory got hurt. She is getting stitched up now and will be hurt. I dont suggests putting her in heels for a while, Solace." He said as he leaned back in the seat.
