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 looks over and smiles brightly, truly happy to see her. "Hey! How are you doing? I haven't been by in a while have I." He looked apologetic. "You look stunning though." He smiles warmly.

"You haven't been. I was beginng to feel like I'd chased you away." A slight pout that disappears entirely once he compliments her, "Thank you. You're looking rather nice, as well."

[heartsofdarkgrey]

"You didn't." He promises, lightly leading her to the dance floor for one the more sedate dances. "I got busy and lost myself to pots, pans and spices." Greylan confesses with a small smile before grinning. "Thanks. What have I missed in my self imposed exile?"

[hey_sexy_latte]

"Not a lot," she says with a grin as she's brought to the dance floor, "We're one of the rare parts of the Deck where things don't happen to us all that often. It's pretty great."

[heartsofdarkgrey]

"It is a lot of the times." He agreed, falling into the steps of the dance. "Sometimes its a bit boring otherwise." He playfully spins her. "What have you been doing with yourself?"

[hey_sexy_latte]

"Oh, you know," she manages to shrug a little, "Working. Window shopping. Actual shopping. The usual."

[heartsofdarkgrey]

"Sounds like fun." He chuckles. "At least a little anyways." Greylan dips her. "Would you like to go window shopping together next time?" He asks.

[hey_sexy_latte]

A bright grin-- and maybe she pulls herself just a little closer when they come up from the dip.

"I'd like that."
