Resplendent:

Her violet locks were tied up tight against her scalp. Just her bangs hung down framing her thin face. A small smile graced her mouth as she stood proudly at the top of the common room stairs. Her shoulders were bare and for the first time he noted that she had freckles. They were the a pale gray color, which was expected since that was her coloring. The freckles were the second thing he noticed, the first was the dress of course. She had chosen a dark green, strapless gown, with a sweetheart neckline. It was perfect, actually no it was better than perfect. 'Fuck.' His mind sounded off as he stared. Her smiled melted, noticing that he wasn't saying anything. She took a deep breath and moved off top stair and away from the invisible spot light that she could feel on her.

"I know its green, but can you just pretend it looks good?" She mumbled stepping down next to him. This statement made the Changeling come slamming back from where ever fantasy he was in.

"What?" He asked as confusion set in. She wasn't really thinking that she looked bad did she?

"I said, can you pretend the dress looks good?" She repeated raising her eyebrow.

He was silent for moment before he scoffed and shook his head. "Raven," He purred grabbing her waist, his fingers tangled in soft silk of the dress. "The dress is perfect, you look resplendent." He stated. He smiled and leaned into her. Her soft smile graced her lips once again as she felt herself lean into him. She knew that he was going in for what would be their third kiss. Her eyes closed as the feeling of his breath kissed her lips.

"Resplendent?" She asked pulling away instantly. She gave him a curious look. "How?" She didn't finish as she heard the soft whine of a hurt animal. An animal would had just missed out on another magical kiss.

"I guess you're rubbing off on me." He responded with shrug. Her eyebrows rose again and he could tell by the look in her eye she didn't believe his explanation at all. Still holding her against him he huffed and gave in knowing he couldn't pull anything pass her. "Okay it was the word of the day on my brainiac word calendar. I knew I'd get to use it tonight." His cheeks tinted a soft pink in embarrassment. God how he wished he was as brilliant as she was.

A real smile grew on her lips as she held in the giggle in back of her throat. "That's what I thought." She replied and then she cupped his chin bringing his mouth down to hers.
