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!

"I am, my dear. As much as I can without being allowed into the bouncy castle." Which, obviously, couldn't be too much fun since the best part of the evening had been taken out of the equation.

Still, he could make do with the drinks and the small talk and the occasional polite declining of an invitation to drag him to the dance floor. He could count his blessings.

"I'll take your word for it."

And, actually, she'll be polishing off her drink, pushing herself back onto her feet again with an easy straightening of her skirt. Surely she's allowed to lean over and press a quick kiss against his cheek?

"Thanks for the drink."

"Proudly sponsored by Castle Clubs," he replied cheerily.

"It was nice to see you again, brief as it may have been. We'll catch up soon?" He gave her a brief hug before letting her ease herself back into the fray.

"It's a date, doll."

When there weren't ex-husbands to show up by having a good time dancing.
