Edward was smiling at her with gentlemanly indulgence. "Envious?" he said with a smile. "I'm very surprised at you, my lady. I'd never thought you jealous of anyone." He gave her a charming smile. "Ella is a nice girl, I suppose in a way like a cousin," he said, which was the only way he could think to described Ella. He didn't think anything of the comment, but of course cousins were known to end up being the wives of royalty. Avril looked at her friend like she was crazy. "You think I could?" she said, leading Ella away like she feared someone would hear them. "How would I get out? I mean, it's not like I can blend in with the hunting party, can I?" It was clear from her face that the idea scared but thrilled her. She'd never left the palace without an escourt before, but the idea of being a normal person, she couldn't even imagine. "I'd also need some distraction for my parents," she said, seeming to talk to herself for a moment. "Oh, Ella, do you think we could?" The Queen loved her daughter, and loved Ella the same, but she treated Avril sometimes like she was a piece of glass. It wasn't surprising really, since Avril was a princess, and therefore more likely to be a target for something bad, but also the Queen had only a limited parental aspect in Ella's life. Would she have been the same with Ella, had she been her full guardian? It was hard to tell. "Ella, if I could, just for a little time....."

A Brave New World?

I'm game. Looking forward to RPing with you guys!

The Dragon Empire

Robin nodded, guesturing to be let inside. "I don't think you want to have this conversation where it can be heard, do you?" he said, giving him a meaningful look.

Lupin Academy :D

Got anyone to play this yet? If not, I'm game

The Dragon Empire

Robin smiled warmly at Jube's mum, despite the confusion going on in his head. She was a nice lady and she and her husband had been to the forge with tools to be repaired. Robin nodded when Vivian mentioned bullies. He fought between telling her what her son had done, but couldn't. One, because he'd already told his father a different story. Two, because he couldn't really explain it himself. He couldn't even say Jube had been protecting Kestral. "That's okay," he said brightly. "I'm sure he's fine, but I'll have a chat to him." He didn't mention Kes. Even if he said that the boy had found her when she'd fallen out the tree, that would give him the right to see her, like some hero. Right now Robin wasn't sure what he wanted to do, but he was probably the only person, beside Kes, who could decide what would happen next. He decided not to mention to Vivian the tale of Kes falling out the tree, but tapped patiently on the door. "Jubilant," he called, then realised he'd been calling him that since the incident. It was too formal, so he added, "Jube." He didn't want to say anymore with his mum listening. Robin gave her another smile. "Don't worry, I'll not be long but I'm sure it'll all be fine," he said, trying to convince himself as much as reassure her.

Avril could hear the music swelling, reaching it's climax, going into the last movement before the end of it. She nodded to Hiro and made her was to stand on the landing overlooking the dance floor, taking a glass of sweet, fizzy wine from a passing servant and taking a sip. "You'll be the center of attention of the whole room," he told her. "Everyone admiring you. I think you should enjoy it. You could make any request and who would refuse you on your birthday?" He seemed to think it simple, bu then he enjoyed the attention. His last birthday had consisted of a hunt in the morning and a grand evening party. Avril's own were very similar, though the theme was very different. "Any ideas what theme you'll chose?" he asked with genuine curiosity. "Please say mud. I think that would be hilariousness." As the music drew to a close, Edward bowed genteelly and escorted her from the floor. "On your birthday, I'll ask you to make one request," he told her. "I expect you to think carefully about what you want." He bowed again, gave her a smile, and then was heading toward a group of girls, all of whom seemed to want to be his next partner.

A Brave New World?

Welcome! Nice to meet you.

Fairy Tale (closed. RE: Kyrisse only)

On reaching the landing with lead to the balcony, she cast a glance over the dancers. She saw the clear pleasure on her friend’s face as she and her elder brother turned around and round. She turned her back to where they swirled and stepped out onto the balcony for the second time that night. "Stephen?" she called, though she couldn't see anyone out there. “Are you alright, your highness?” She jumped at the voice, forgetting that Hiro was posted out there, his dark uniform allowing him to blend so well with the shadow of the wall. “I apologize,” he said, giving a quick bow, though his head was raised again before his body could catch up. “I didn't mean to startle you.” he caught her breath and then gestured around, saying by explanation, “I thought Stephen would be here.” The guard looked puzzled. “I’m sorry, your highness, but didn't he just leave in your company?” “Never mind,” she said quickly as she felt her cheeks flush. She turned so that she could look at what Stephen had been seeing. Unlike her eldest brother, who often went hunting, she never left the palace unless in the company of someone, which was normally for some formal occasion. She didn't know if Stephen ever left the castle grounds. He'd never mentioned it. "I lost him," she said, not giving more detail."I thought he might have come back here." "I'm afraid not, your highness." If he was even at the party now, she thought a bitterly. He could have slipped away to his room. Their parents wouldn't notice in a crowd like this, but they would if she or Edward were missing long. Edward gave her a broad smile as she spoke about other women. "Enjoy the moment," he said to her, not looking at anything but her as he said this. "Don't think about after, or before." He gave a laugh as he led her with ease, clearly pleased at how she danced. "This party will be nothing to your birthday, I am sure," he added. "I'm sure mother will want to throw you a grander affair than anything yet seen in the kingdom. How old are you now? I'm sorry, but it's hard to forget you're not 5 anymore." This was said in a tease. "I'm sure she'll speak to you soon about what you want, so be sure to have some ideas," he said. "If you don't, she might just plan the whole thing without thinking."

A Brave New World?

That's true. So are we keeping going? I don't want this to die whilst we wait and, once a thread slows down, it can be hard to keep in motion. Someone can always join us later, either as a stowaway, a hired hand, a "bad guy" turned good or pretending to be good. And someone has just made a new character ;)
