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!

"Well. Free food. Can't pass that up, can you?"

Nevermind the details where Suit members essentially get free food from the Castle kitchens if they live there. Well, assuming one actually does the work to deserve it. Which he's been managing to duck rather successfully.

He'll have to accept the arch of her brow as she munches on the sausage.

"You know it's really not that hard to earn this sort of thing."

"Wouldn't know nothing about that."

Okay, there he's just pretending he's more of a dumbass than he actually is. "Never earned nothing before."

"...am I meant to be impressed or feel sorry?" She isn't certain she can manage either.
