Patrick hauled himself out of the rosebush brushing away thorns. That girl surely had it in for him and no one could convince him otherwise. Although, she appeared to have it in for others as well. Patrick thought as he watched Robin berate Jason. It was a refreshing change to see her yell at someone other then…well…him. She really was sort of cute when she got mad. Not that Patrick cared about that, because the girl was clearly absolutely and without a doubt nutters. Off her rocker, insane, crazy, loco, bonkers, half-baked, loony, unbalanced, unhinged, disturbed, screw-loose, maniacal, certifiable, unsound, kooky, berserk, cracked, gone around the bend, lunatic, certifiable, stark raving mad!
Jason…
Jason held his hands out in front of him as Robin screeched her protests, at his callous, rude, unmannered, impolite, crude, primitive, uncivil, insensitive, unsympathetic, heartless, uncouth, discourteous, insolent, disrespectful behavior. He suspected she could have gone on in her analysis of her behavior but she had abruptly decided to spare him.
"How have you been?" Robin asked giving him a hug. Jason looked down at her his blue eyes confused. He had told Courtney that their friend clearly suffered from multiple personalities, but had she listened?! No.
"Er, Good." Jason said. "Your highness." He added a second later as one of his courtiers who took great joy in reporting any slipups he made in grammar walked by.
"Dance with me." Robin said when she saw Patrick approaching her now in fresh clothes.
"Of course, milady." Jason said bowing to his friend and holding out a hand. Robin curtsied while rolling her eyes skyward. Jason stifled a snort. The dance had just ended when Patrick walked up.
"Do you mind if I dance with her highness?" Patrick said addressing Jason and not Robin which caused her to fume silently.
"Oh, no, of course not, uh, Prince Patrick." Jason said almost forgetting it but tacking it on when he spotted the courtier watching him again. Robin was glaring daggers at him but he shrugged knowing that he had been put back on her hit list. Jason hurriedly headed off to find Elizabeth.
"Princess." Patrick said bowing.
"Your highness." Robin responded with a curtsy and an eye roll.
"May I have this dance?"
"If you must."
"You know, Princess, most men would find it rude for their fiancée to push them into a bush and you pushed me into one with thorns." Patrick remarked.
"Yes, your highness, but most women would find it rude for a man to insult their intelligence and their size. You know it is considered rude to speak of a lady's size."
"Indeed, Princess. But most would find it uncouth for the Princess to tell her betrothed 'touch me and die'."
"Perhaps, your highness, but you and I both know you deserved it."
"I know no such thing, Princess." Patrick said as he twirled her around the room. The other three couples watched in fascination the way the couple danced with such grace even as everyone knew they were insulting each other, polite, and detached as they mat seem. Although, they did doubt the adults had noticed anything.
"If truth be told, Prince Patrick, you do know what I'm speaking of, you know exactly what I mean."
"Since when has truth been told, Princess?" Patrick said his breath hot on Robin's face.
"Perchance, it has not been, but there is never a time such as the present to embark on a new experience, your highness." Robin responded.
"Most would find it discourteous; to try and change the traditions someone's fiancé holds dear, your highness." Patrick said narrowing his eyes at her.
"Perhaps, but I do not plan on your remaining my fiancé, so that isn't applicable to our situation, your highness."
"Touché, Princess, you are well spoken, are you not?"
"Certainly, but milord masters his words well." Robin responded.
"Fair enough, but I am no match for milady."
"I don't know about that, milord, but I would not presume to disagree with you." Robin said as the dance ended and Patrick bowed to her. She dropped into a deep curtsy and he kissed the back of her hand never breaking eye contact. The other teens watched them riveted, it was as though they were observing a play, the couple handled themselves with such grace and formality it was hard to imagine the true malice disguised in their pleasantries. But the insults were there smoothly woven among nonsensical banter.
