It's Swing Time~
It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Elisha's motivation for organizing - or, honestly, delegating the organization of - a semi-formal dance party. Lucinda had suggested a ball, with stars in her eyes. She probably had already picked out ballgowns and themes in her head when Elisha had nixed the thing and - in a moment of desperation, with the memory of the swing-themed Fox wedding still in his head - suggest a Spring Swing, instead.
Everyone had run with it, and Elisha was pleased to say it had come out well. He was even more pleased to say that he didn't have to wear a suit, even if he stepped out into the lantern-lit gardens in everything but the tie. He paused near the raised dais provided for dancing and gave the small band the signal to start up the music before he attempted to fade back in the crowd. Not that that ever worked.
"Let the games begin," he murmured to no one in particular as he picked up a glass of champagne off a tray.
Note: Open to everyone and their brother; tag around, have fun!

oh dear, oh dear
"Lady Ivona, you're looking lovely tonight as well. Enjoying the festivities?"

"But what about you? Oh, you should venture over and speak to Mother. Just to spare me a later inquisition, if you'd be so kind."
no subject
"How do I spare you that? Least I get into trouble unwittingly."

No longer.
"Yes, do that. Then perhaps she'll be able to transfer her idiotic notions of you and me to the former, instead of incessantly haranguing me about it." She smiled, and so perfect was the expression that it was impossible to discern its insincerity.
"But please, don't let me keep you from your...other pursuits."
no subject
"Perhaps you'd care for a dance?" He said, out of the blue as he looked down at Ivona and raised a brow. Perhaps she didn't realize it, he thought, that she was still important to him. Even if he wasn't sure he wanted to marry her, or her family.
no subject
"I'd love to, your Majesty." She held out a gracious hand, letting him lead her over to the dance floor, ignoring the raised eyebrows as they passed.
