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!

It's good to be kept up with. It's good, in fact, for these two songs, to be actually challenged.

And it's good, she can admit, to feel loved. To feel admired. To feel, more than anything, that she's got someone's attention. That she matters deeply in someone's heart, if only until he's done tossing her in the air and dipping her to the ground.

She needs to tug his collar to get him down from his great height, but hopefully he'll indulge in letting her smack a red lip-stick-y kiss to his cheek. "You're going to spoil me, Lasse. You really are. Thank you."
