A low rumbling left Theran’s throat as he tried to hold back his laughter at his sister. The girl was far from a lady and to hear her call herself that was the best thing he’d heard all night. Leave it to the young girl to make the evening a more enjoyable one.
“You know well enough –” he had made it only partway into his thoughts when he was cut off by Cedany wanting to dance. And why wouldn’t she? It wasn’t hard to imagine she was living everything up before they made the trek back to Ostwall.
Just as he started to round to her side of the table, Ced was already running off. With a roll of his eyes, he followed after her to see Adelaide. Well at least she wasn’t running off to strangers, a small comfort to be sure. It almost seemed like Addy was on her way over to where they were anyway. Was she under the same mind frame that Cedany wasn’t to be trusted too much by herself? If so it was comical.
Theran started after his sister to join both of them as their younger sister pulled into onto the dance floor. Yep, he definitely didn’t want to be out there where other people could see his follies, but for his family he was willing to do anything. He glanced up at Addy with a shrug of his shoulder and a smile on his face. There was nothing they could really do except go along with it or make the poor girl upset.
Jerked out of his thoughts, Aren helped to steady his older brother so that the large brut of a man didn’t take the rest of them down with him. It seemed the older male wasn’t as graceful on the dance floor as he was on the battlefield. He’d grown up thinking that fighters made the best lovers. Maybe it was the other way around.
“Careful. Don’t need to crush the ladies here, brother. They might never forgive you.” His voice was light saying he was only picking even though getting on Cedany’s bad side could mean a great many surprises one didn’t want.
Best part about Cedany’s erratic behavior was that for once she didn’t have to go after her sister. Annie was coming straight for her bringing Theran in tow. She laughed. He was nearly being drug against his will onto the dance floor. Leave it to their sister to make a fool of the whole family. Well no – their father did the most of that when it came to social graces. She was fine with it too since it gave her an ample excuse not to be a perfect lady especially since she wished she was as free as Ced was to do as she wished.
Adelaide caught her baby sister into an equally tight embrace and spun her around as well as she could, setting her down back beside of Aren who had finally caught up with the speedy teen. She nodded her head politely to him because a huge grin spread across her face.
“I see Annie here decided to involve all of us in her antics this time.”
Her brother grinned back at her seconds before he caught Ronan from making them all pancakes onto the ballroom floor and really making them a grand spectacle for all the other nobles of the two other kingdoms.
“Oh come on, Aren, we both know that all of us can make fools of ourselves without our heir here doing it for us. Please join us. I believe Annie would just love it.”
