It's Swing Time~

[cipherspeak]

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!

He snorted agreement, but said, "I'm sure they did. I just wish to God I knew what a few of 'em were. But yeah, the 'getting used to it' part is definitely in the plan. ...such as there is a plan."

"It's... different. I think you'll be good at it, though. It just takes some time to get used to your role, is all."

Provided he got a clear image of what said role actually was. David had raised his foster son with the position in mind, but it wasn't David's Suit now. Things were changing, and Ethan wasn't entirely sure all of those changes were for the better. But--

"I'll get it sorted out." One way or the other. "After I get over the shock of actually having my name on the door."
