[ The music seemed to pick up in pace by just a bit, and he would adjust his movements accordingly. He would never get too far ahead of her, though. ]

Oh, believe me. I know. Just remember that turnabout is fair play. But how could the atmosphere be anything else? This is his mansion, after all. ...I must admit I am slightly jealous. Had I known something like this was available, I would have snatched it up for myself.

And don't think you're off the hook just yet, either. While I suppose you would be further down on the list compared to... certain other mongrels, there's always a chance that when you provoke a lion, it will bite your head off. Just a fair warning.

[Do not think this witch can't handle a faster waltz once she gets her bearings. Just try to keep up with this gilded butterfly.]

You would be jealous, wouldn't you? Ah, but you shouldn't be. You're not really the type for an antique mansion like this. Leave it to a man who can create such an atmosphere.

And what makes you think I want to be off the hook? I like the tension that comes with not knowing whether you want to kill me or kiss me.

Since you've been so kind, I'll tell you a secret. I provoke you because your attention, good or bad, is addictive and I delight in the few small moments that it belongs only to me.~

[king_of_heroes]

[ Funny how something as simple as dancing eventually becomes another challenge of power between them. Picking up on how easily she follows, he'll continue along the current path. Perhaps throwing in the odd turn every so often. ]

You do have a point. I would actually have to hire a handful of undeserving mongrels to keep the place spotless. I suppose the condo does suit me more in this world.

Is that so? Then I guess it's only fair to reveal a secret of my own. I've been enjoying this, whatever you would like to call it. It's been some time since anyone has dared to challenge me. It's rather exciting.

[golden_witch]

[As if everything between them wasn't always a power struggle. She had really found her footing as far as this dance was concerned, and though she let him lead, she still answered his movements with all the grace of a ballerina.]

It does. It's over the top. New. Dazzling. Those things are very you.

[She'd giggle a bit in spite of herself.]

Then allow me to excite you with every challenge I provide and you can spoil me with your undecided attention. I care little for the context.~

[king_of_heroes]

[ The song should be at it's climax by now, and seeing how well she had done keeping up with him, he simply had to throw in something unexpected. He'll allow her to spin out of his arms for a brief moment, only to pull her back almost immediately and lead her into a dip. He'll hold her there as long as possible, letting his eyes penetrate the very depths of her soul, while his lips linger dangerously close to her own. ]

So long as you keep things interesting, I doubt you'll have to worry about anyone else stealing my attention away. You are by far one of the most interesting mongrels I've met here. I haven't felt this sort of thrill since my battle with Alexander.

[golden_witch]

[She wouldn't mind a bit of showboating if that's what he intended. Of course being with him, it was almost expected. She'd spin out and glide gently back into his arms only to be met with a more firm embrace than she'd anticipated, one that arched her into a seemingly endless dip. She felt that this man's gaze could withdraw every secret she ever kept and it almost frightened her. She could feel his breath on her lips, practically stealing hers away. She tried to steel herself against this unfair tactic, but no woman can control the pounding of their own heart.]

I...I don't think you have to worry about my keeping things interesting. If that's all you require to hold me this closely, I'll gladly oblige. I can't promise I'll play fair, though.~

[king_of_heroes]

[ Even if it had truly only last a few seconds, it must have felt like an eternity. His eyes read every single reaction her body was giving to his small act, and he sure as hell was going to revel in it. This was the one woman who could get under his skin like no other. But sadly all good things must come to an end, and he'll slowly let her back up. Oh, but the grin that was plastered on his face afterward. It was cute how she was trying to be threatening after seeing her in such a vulnerable state. ]

I wouldn't expect a witch to ever play fairly. But I don't believe you'll be able to top me anytime soon.

[golden_witch]

[She was partially glad when he lifted her upright and yet part of her would have loved to prolong the moment. That grin of his was terrible and attractive at the same time. How did she ever come to like his company so much? The moment had emboldened her a bit and she draped her arms over his shoulders, lacing her fingers just behind his neck.]

Is that so~? What a pity. That sounds like it might be a lot of fun.~

[king_of_heroes]

[ Obviously, it was his natural charm and charisma. So many people forget that behind that massive ego is one choice cut of a man who lead one of the first true cities in the world. A city that gave birth to so many ideas and inventions still used today. If one were to actually study the history of his part of the world, they would see how truly justified that ego of his was. Sadly, what was so appealing about her was something much more primitive. Beauty was placed above all in those times, and he was fairly certain had she lived back then, she would be royalty, if not at least one of the high rollers in his society.

Ah, but this was neither the time nor place to ponder such things. She was within his grasp. His hands would move to wrap around her waist as he lead her into a slow, rocking dance. He could have simply stood there holding her, but this was both a dance and it might look a little suspicious to the odd observer. And he was nothing if not about his appearance. Still, he would have to admit that it was nice for a change. ]

Well, I didn't say never, did I? Keep trying, and you never know just what you may be able to accomplish.

[golden_witch]

[In her thousand year lifespan, never had she been so swept off of her feet. His arms were strong yet gentle around her, his eyes never left hers. Was this the same arrogant man that had abruptly busted into her room when they first met? The same one she took delight in infuriating endlessly. She remembered those few stolen days and she wondered if she could trust the kind of oblivion she was feeling being this close to him. Her mind raced, but her expression was cool.]

Oh, you'd be surprised what I can accomplish when determined.~

[king_of_heroes]

[ Eventually he would lean himself just enough so that their foreheads touched, and he let out a little sigh as his mind attempted to decide whether this was another effect brought on by the island, or something entirely different. For all he knew, it could simply be the atmosphere of the place. But either way... he was content. ]

Ah, this is such an odd feeling. No matter how much we seem to get on each other's nerves, I find myself enjoying your company more than I should. Perhaps you could even say that I...

[ It was a brief pause. Perhaps he caught himself before actually saying anything, trying to decide at the last moment if he should actually go through with it. But sadly, he probably wouldn't have time to before she interjected. ]

[golden_witch]

[She'd stand locked in his arms, perfectly drunk in his affection, for what seemed like an eternity. She wanted so much to allow herself to be taken in by his charms. She wanted to allow herself to be weak to this man. What had started as a tease had become a violent storm of infatuation. The thought scared her a bit.
And then he would speak the things she was feeling as though he saw through her. She loosened her arms from him and pulled away slightly. There was no way she was going to lapse back into madness due to the glitz and sparkle of one night's dance.
She pressed a finger to his lips to silence him and managed a smile. She certainly didn't hate him, but she needed to escape the heat of his embrace lest she want to stay there forever.]

I'm afraid if I don't get some air, I shall faint. I'll meet you on the balcony once a few songs have passed...that is, if that is acceptable to you.~

[king_of_heroes]

[ It was over far too soon for his liking, but he really had no say in this matter. It would rude of him to keep her all to himself for the night, after all. He'll let his arms pull away from her and return the smile. ]

Ha. I suppose that's for the best, then. An unconscious partner at such a gathering would look rather suspicious, no? Do what you must, but I'll except you to keep your word. I'll be waiting~
