Strategy is key -- if you want to win.

Chuckling, Tristan gazed into Bianca's eyes. You know, she wasn't really that bad of a companion. He hadn't even noticed the fact he was actually being nice to her, for absolutely no reason. He knew there was no way he would get her in bed, and that, somehow, was completely fine with him. So perhaps, he had his first female friend. Quickly, he smiled and looked around for a maid, excusing himself from Bianca for a moment, asking for someone to play a little music, just in case she wanted it. Personally, Tristan was simply looking forward to dancing with her. She looked about the perfect size to fit between his arms.
Smiling at her, Tristan watched as she extended her hand to him, tugging him into the middle of the shining, beautiful dance floor. Softly, he placed his other hand on her lower back, making the first few steps of his favorite version of the waltz. Softy, the two swayed gracefully, his arms lightly guiding her around the glittering floor. It was then that Bianca opened her mouth and Tristan looked at her, his eyebrow raised. Naturally, he would have expected her to say something and ruin the moment, but instead, her voice carried out soft, haunting notes of a song.
The elf prince gawked at her, his gorgeous eyes looking over her face in complete shock. He had no idea that Bianca was quite the singer. Looking at her still, Tristan nearly stumbled a few times, guiding her around the floor, his eyes not watching out for things; and he completely missed when the one lone servant walked in, violin in arm. It was only when the matching notes to Bianca's song were played and backed the melody that Tristan even noticed, and eventually, he looked up to spot the servant. A few seconds after that, however, his eyes were fixed back on the princess, and Tristan smirked at her, a soft kind of adoration in his optics. "You never told me you were a singer." Quickly, the elf prince brought Bianca in closer, dipping her expertly. "You should tell me things like that. They interest me."
