Kel looked straight ahead and finished walking down the staircase. When Kel
and her escourt reached the platform where the King and Queen sat Kel
courtisied. The King looked at Kel lustfully as Queen Thayet had a small
smile plastered to her face, hiding the fact that Kel looked much better
then she did. Thayet looked over at her husband who was quite frankly
checking out Kel, Thayet elbowed him which broke off his eye contact with
Kel's body. Kel and her escourt bowed and curtsied a second time before
approaching the crowd. Kel's escourt asked for a dance as the music began
to play. Everyone forgot about the new court lady as they stared at the
young couple , mostly the young lady, who was waltzing on the dance floor
with her handsome partner. While Kel was spinning round and round the dance
floor she kept an eye out for a tall red head but she didn't see any.
Gloomily she focused her attention back to her partner. Little did Kel know
a red head was watching her from a corner in the back of the room, but he
was too distracted by a green eyed young man to focus on her entirely.
*~*~*
Neal looked at the beautiful girl decending the staricase. "Isn't she beautiful." he breathed.
Cleon looked up at the girl walking toawards the king and queen. Something about him made his heart flutter. That only happened when he thought of Kel, was he starting to fall in love with another girl? Or maybe......no it couldn't be.Could it?Cleon tried to get a closer look but everyone was blocking her from his view. Cleon gave up hope when he saw her dancing with her escourt. I wonder if Kel is going to show up tonight. He thought gloomily. He sat back down to listen to more of Neal's soppy poems about the beautiful girl.
*~*~*
Kel was starting to get bored. Thankfully the waltz ended a few seconds later. Kel curtsied to her partner and walked off of the dance floor, to be surrounded by young men. Her curves were desired by lusting men and jealous women. Kel polietly excused herself from her many admirers and walked around the ballroom looking for Cleon. After a few minutes, Kel was beginning to give up on hope until she saw a bit of redish hair. Kel walked alittle faster until she saw a full head of red curls on top of a tall man who had his back to her, talking to another young man. "Cleon." Kel breathed.
*~*~*
Cleon turned around at the sound of a deep musical voice saying his name. In front of his stood the beauty in black and silver. Kel moved closer to him as he got up off of the couch. His friend was looking awestruck at her, but they both ignore.
Kel, not wanting Cleon to recognize her immediately smiled polietly at him and pretened not to know him. "You are Sir Cleon of Kennan I believe?" Kel asked.
*~*~*
Cleon's heart began to beat faster and faster. * No! You love Kel! * Another part of him was arguing back. *Please, she didn't see to be too interested in you before. a beautiful girl is standing right in front of you asking you your name and you still think you have a chance with Kel. Get over her, this is your big chance!* In the end Cleon finally decided to give it a try and focused his attention back on the goddess in black. "I'm sorry my lady, I was too hypnotized by your beauty. I was lost for words." Cleon brushed his lips against Kel's hand. Kel blushed and smiled. "Would my lady care for a dance?" Kel accepted happily and was swept away onto the dance floor. The melody was romantic and flowing. Cleon put his hand on the edge of her waist and the other in her hand. Kel thought this was polite but stepped closer to Cleon so that her body pressed against his and his arm went around her waist. Cleon blushed crimson . Kel smiled. "Cleon, may I call you Cleon?" Cleon smiled widely and said, "I would be honored my lady." Kel continued. "Cleon, don't be so shy, you go into war and you're not afraid, or so I've heard. But you're afraid of alittle physhical contact?" Cleon smiled sheeply at Kel. "Don't be embarresed. I wanted to dance with you didn't I?" Cleon gave her one of his famous smiles and twirled her around. Maybe not thinking about Kel was a good idea Cleon mused.
