[IC] the supernatural costume ball

[underworldqueen]

he nods "I do" he told her "what are you worried about?" he asked her.

"what its true" she smiled at him. "you dance well, did your mom teach you?" she asked him . she stepped on his right foot again. she bit her lip.

[Vampiretwilight]

"I...I was supposed to stay here until the ball ends."
Elizabeth blinked and quickly shook her head.
"s...sorry, that was my mother talking again."

James shook his head.
"as a child I mainly watched her. I didn't take lessons until those cotillion days."

[underworldqueen]

he smiled "babe you will be, just a trip into town for the day, we will back in the evening" he says "you put something nice on" he says to her.

she smiled "oh" she says "i never attended one of those" she says "Brandon has tried to teach me, but i guess being able to stand on his feet as he danced around the room didnt help me"

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth blinked. She turned a little red. She nodded a bit.
"...alright."

James blinked.
"oh? so you know what a cotillion is?"

[underworldqueen]

"isnt that a coming of age dance usually around the age of 16?" she asked him.

"great its a date then" he says and kisses her cheek

[Vampiretwilight]

James nodded.
"I see that you do know."
He smiled a bit.

Elizabeth turned red for a brief moment and nodded.

[underworldqueen]

she nodded "yeah" she says to him "like i said i never had one or went to one for that matter" she says

"dont worry babe, it will a fun day out" he says to her

[Vampiretwilight]

James sighed.
"my mother insisted on it. trust me, you did not miss much. I had snooty girls left and right charming up to me, flattering me, just to get me to pick them for courting. I had enough and told my mother that I wanted to wait until I was older, it was an excuse I know, but it worked. my mother gave me time, and thanks to that I found you."

Elizabeth nodded. She managed a faint smile.
"alright."
She reached out towards him as if to hold his hand in hers.

[underworldqueen]

she blushed when he said the last part. "so then why me?" she asked "what made me different then the others?" she asked him.

he took her had as she offered it and he walks her over to the buffet "you need to eat something" he says to her. he grabbed a glass of bloodwine for himself. he would rather have fresh from a living being but this will have to do for now.

[Vampiretwilight]

"you're special. You don't care about my wealth. You saw past, well, everything."
James blushed.

Elizabeth shook her head.
"I'm fine. I never really eat much anyway."

[underworldqueen]

she blushed again. she didnt know what to say to that. She gave him a kiss. "im happy that you chose me" she says to him

he nodded "as you sure?" he asked her "i dont want you passing out on me of anything" he says "i would think shifting takes a lot of energy" he says to her.

[Vampiretwilight]

James returned the kiss.
"I'm glad you didn't reject me."

Elizabeth sighed.
"Fine."
She just grabbed some pasta salad.

[underworldqueen]

he chuckled a bit "Liz if your not hungry its fine dont eat, if your pulling the girl card with eating infront of someone dont worry, you can stuff your mouth and still find you cute" he smiled at her

"i dont think i could reject you even if i was protesting" she says "i felt a draw to you James" she says "i could have fought it, but i would have lost that battle in the end"

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth shook her head no and frowned.
"That's not it at all."

James smiled a bit.
"Thank you."

[underworldqueen]

he looked at her with a bit of concern "then what is it?" he asked her

"your are welcome" she smiled at him. "besides you are one of the most handsome men i have seen" she told him

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth sighed.
"I was never really allowed to eat much. And so, I never really had a very big appetite in the end."

James managed not to really blush much, if at all. He nodded and repeated his thanks.
"You are beautiful yourself."

[underworldqueen]

"im sorry to hear that" he says to her "well eat what you can then" he says to her

she blushed and looked away. "i dont think i am beautiful" she says to him in a soft voice.

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth nodded. She took a bite of her food. She would go back for seconds when she was done.

James shook his head and made her look at him.
"You're beautiful."

[underworldqueen]

she gave him a small smile "no i dont think so" she says to him and blushed. "but thank you for thinking that i am" she says to him

he sat with her and drank his blood wine. He relaxed as he glanced at her while she would eat. he was thinking of things he wanted to take her to do while in town tomorrow. he wanted to take her shopping and out to a nice dinner and just take her to go look around. he glanced around the ballroom at everyone there mingling and dancing. He was happy to have found someone he loved while here. he wasn't expecting it but it happened. he was waiting to hear back from his father on everything. He hoped he approved of Kali's suitor. He was sure he would approve of Elizabeth. He knew getting them both married off his father can concentrate on the other 10 siblings.

[Vampiretwilight]

James kissed her on the cheek.
"but you are beautiful. Do think little of yourself."

Elizabeth returned with the second helping and a side of carrots.
