Gwen was in a strapless lilac dress, eyeliner, eye shadow, lipstick, blusher and mascara. A small heart shaped pearl locket sat on her chest just upon her heart. She was getting ready for her date with Leon.
Gwen didn't have high expectations after their theatre trip where Leon fell asleep, or the ballet where he fell asleep, or the art museum where he kept wondering what was going on but wanted to sound smart for her so made things up. But Gwen knew that Leon would try hard to meet the Arthur and Merlin's standards regardless.
She was putting in her earrings when there was a knock at the door. "Can you get that?!" She called down to Elyan. He heaved himself off of the sofa to answer the door. "Hey Leo. She'll be down in a minute!" Elyan said. Leon nodded and took a seat on the sofa to wait. His black suit crumpled in the process. "Nope this won't do!" Elyan said. Leon looked anxious. Elyan made him stand up. He pulled up the black suit jacket and fixed his tie so it slid smoothly under the fold of his pale blue t-shirt. He smoothed his suit out to make him neat and even tucked a loose golden curl back behind lion's ear. He smiled slightly. "What have you got planned then? Candle lit picnic on the hill so you can lie
back and watch the sun sigh goodnight as it ripples golden waves across the world below, before climbing to the heavens in a balloon so she can touch the stars?!" Elyan said taking a sip of his beer. Leon shook his head. "Nothing like that!" He said. Elyan looked him up and down. "The bare minima she deserves then yes?" He said. Leon chuckled under his breath. Elyan only wanted the best of the best for his sister.
Gwen slid on her lilac heels that matched her dress and bag. Leon did a double take on her. His mouth hung open slightly in surprise. "Wow. Glorious as the warm sunrise on the dewed spring grass after a long harsh winter!" He said. Gwen blushed slightly. Elyan smiled a little. He knew Leon was right for Gwen. "See you back no later than one!" He said firmly. They laughed as they left.
"Your car milady!" Said Leon as he gestured towards the limo waiting at the gate. Gwen gasped. "Leon! A limo! For us!" She said in amazement with a smile.
"Only finest my fine lady!" Leon said with a cheesy grin. She smiled. Leon held open the door as Gwen took a seat. She looked a little disappointed. "No champagne Leon?" Gwen said. A knowing smile crossed his lips as he sat beside her. "Ah but the beautiful night is still young my dear!" He said. Gwen couldn't help but smile.
