Welcome to Gaia! ::

He smiled as his friend took off hers and attempted to teach her to dance. Rodell was patient though so it should be fine. His attention focused down to her though with a smile. "For what? I take you to parties all the time. You'd think I'd try harder to be a little more romantic."

"Ah, I should have guessed. Forgive my tongue for losing it's silver." Chuckling and resting a hand on the small of her back to guide her away from the immediate crowd some. "Well, no actually. There's still plenty of people that want me to be official. But I'd rather enjoy your company and not be official, and tend to the rest later."

"Oh, that's no problem. She's welcome to come to anything social with us." Adjusting his hold on her some to keep her close to him even as they danced. "I don't like to publicize my romantic ways. After all, if I start to set an example then the things I do are no longer special."

"Try another 'h' word. Maybe happy or something along thsoe lines. Takes away both the formality and the fear." Giving her a smile though. "If I didn't break the rules sometimes I would be no fun either. I have to at least be a little fun." Offering her his hand then. "Come on, it has to at least be fetching or something to you?"

A look over to the two as well, Rodell doing his best to compensate for the girls foul steps and reassuring her that all was well. Turning his attenion back to her he chuckled. "I like that idea of the way things should be as well." Nodding, "I have a very good conversation with your father. It's nice to know that you and I may not have to go through what he and your mother did. If everything goes well."

"I'll take beautiful, if that's what yout tongue sees fit to use, then that's what it shall be." Shaking his head as he started to lead her into dance movements. "Outshining you? No, I don't think so. Tonight is your night where you are the one who is shining like the bright Flame that you are." Giving her a lopsided grin then, "Still a hint of formal in there. I'm not more special than any other elf."

"Of course. Mistakes were already made and it's best we all learn from them rather than repeat them and make it all the worse for the furture." Nuzzling her lightly. "You don't need to worry about that. Even if things don't work out in our favor, I'll make them work."

"Age isn't kind to women? Now now, I think you women think too hard on that notion. Women are like fine wine. They only get better with age. Or so that's my opinion. Bitter, sour, with some bite that will turn you completely away from them, only to turn into something sweet to all the senses, but still with some bite to keep you on your toes." Chuckling lightly and whirling her around and out before pulling her back in, "Appropriate. I'd hate to think that even you can't get past what I do."

And it was time for honesty. "Not really. I mean I know that I'll have children eventually, but I don't expect that to happen anytime soon. Not just having them out of obligation either. I'd like to know that I took good care of someone as I was taken care of."

"It comes and goes like a good wind." Giving her a grin, "I would say you're a perfect balance of such things. That takes talent." Watching her as she seemed to be questioning what had probably been on minds for a while. "Wherever we would like." Brushing his lips over hers lightly as he spun her. The action would go unnoticed by most, which was the intention...if it was only between them to know, it was that easy to forget if that was the way it should be.

"It should scare you, because it scares me I know that much. I wouldn't know the first thing to do when it comes to all of that." Resting his forehead against hers for the moment. "Think of all the fun we'll have." Nah, he'd let her ponder over it for a little while longer. Everytime she mentioned the word, he made her wait longer.

He was quite ready to spend his life alone, as he had been doing so for a while now. However, Lhia had her own points about their people which was hard to look past. No matter where they had originally come from, they were still elves who had the same basic needs. At her own silent response he merely gave her a smile as they continued to dance to the song with others around them, celebrating young elves getting just a bit wiser. After all, someone was going to grab him again for work sooner or later as he had shirked it previously.

He laughed, "Did you just do the eyebrow thing at me? That's supposed to be my thing. I do it, you blush and giggle then we sneak off together somewhere and...praise some Gods, so to speak." A little nod of his head to another direction though, "However...what about your friend."

What it all meant and concluded, he really didn't aver to argue the logistics of it all with himself, but rather enjoy his free time with her.

"My goodness Master Tyyrael, are you actually taking some time to enjoy yourself? And with lovely company no less."

As if on cue, but that was the way of things. Though Lhia would see the slight cringe flitter across his features at the voice, seeing as much as he was a people person...this one just rubbed him the wrong way. Thusly a look over his shoulder to the woman, whom always wanted soemthing or other and always came to him to get it through Brigade if she couldn't cut her deals on her own. "I'm not on duty, I'm allowed to have some."

"Tsk tsk, off duty when I need you most. I thought the Brigade Master was always avaliable at the drop of a hat."

A cheeky grin as her own cheeks flared with lavender. "It happens, you can't deny that." Another look over to the two...Rodell trying to help her with her steps still and her trying to not step on her own dress hem. "She probably shouldn't have anything to drink then either." Turning his attention back to her. "Is that an invitation to stay the night?"

"Silly? Of course not. He's the one who you know will get things done when others can't. Besides, what with all the impressionable new ones around it's important they see efficiency." Giving Lhia a look that women understood.

"Firstly...no one is wearing a hat, so there is no dropping." Tilting his head at her, "Secondly, you have to learn to start solving the hard things on your own.

"Yes Master Tyyrael but this time I think you really should handle it." Sideglancing Lhia and deciding to humor her. "Trade agreement going sour, and my own trying to soothe both parties isn't wanted or appreciated by them. Tyyrael however, everyone respects him."
