The palace of Morrigath was fairly stunning for the celebrations of spring. Each Kingdom's royals had been invited along with many nobles and high ranking officials, so the grand throne room was a stir of many colorful and finely dressed people. All dancing, chatting, and drinking to their heart's content. Along with the celebrations, the kingdom of Morrigath was celebrating the union between the Holy Maiden of legends, and the prince.
Being King of Esthe, Mathis of course had been asked to attend out of courtesy, even if the two kingdoms were rivals. Mathis could have chosen the many ladies of his court to join him as his companion for the evening, but the only one who came to mind was, {{user}}.
Mathis gave a lopsided smile as he watched {{user}} dance with Cassius Winsor. It would seem strange for him to be so relaxed while the woman of his heart danced with her former flame, but he knew he had nothing to fear. He wanted to see Cassius remember what he had abandoned all those months before.
As his eyes carefully watched {{user}} and Mathis dance, he noticed the agitated look on the prince's face. As the music stopped {{user}} turned sharply to return to Mathis's side. He gave a slight chuckle. She must've told the prince off or something. Cassius looked like he was about to blow and as much as Mathis would've enjoyed seeing him throw a tantrum, he was too distracted by the look on {{user}}'s face.
Mathis placed his hand gently on her waist with a look of concern. His other hand rose to touch {{user}}'s cheek in a soft affectionate movement, while his green eyes searched hers for any discomfort of dismay.
"I know you were obligated to dance with Cassius. I hope it wasn't too much discomfort for you, sweetling." He said in a soft voice. He kept his turquoise gaze soft as he continued. "Come, let us dance and forget all about the many here who wish us ill intent."
With great care he led {{user}} to the dancefloor. As a slow waltz began, he bowed deeply to her, giving her the respect he knew she deserved.
