(I mean, if you're sure... I just don't want to stress you out again. :/ ) "Velatha," Celondis said, slightly more sharply than she had meant to. "I have never known anyone to regret love in the end. If that is what this is, between the princess and her prince, then everyone is the better for it." She leaned back and smiled slightly. "Certainly you aren't above enjoying an unlikely love story? You, the attendee of the king's ball to find a wife?" The question was a friendly jest and a reminder both. Velatha was many things, and she was proud especially, a trait that normally, Celondis would admire. Here, however, Velatha needed to be reminded of her humility; she was only one woman of many, not old but not young, and in no position to be judging one elf's relationship with one human. Who, after all, would have more reason to hate the humans than Princess Nori herself? If she could forgive and forget, then her subjects could as well. Celondis tilted her head slightly to listen to the king's awkward speech. "He's nervous..." She laughed then, hearing the rush of skirts and slippered feet, knowing the king was being surrounded. "And overwhelmed," she added. "You will dance, will you not?" Theo smiled down at Nori and slipped his arm around her shoulders. "If he's even half as happy with one of these ladies as I am with you, he is facing a lifetime of bliss," he promised sweetly. Well, maybe he was laying it on a little thick, but who cared? He still couldn't believe, some days, that his heart could handle so much joy, and Noribwas worth embarrassing himself for. He made a mental note to try to convince the king to drink a bit more of his potioned punch later, the grinned and took Nori's hand to lead her onto the floor. "I thought you would never ask, Princess," he joked. He still wasn't terribly good at elven dances, but he was learning. Velatha rolled her eyes in reply to Celondis, letting out a small breath of air as she did so. Celondis like to remind her to be a good person and to have all these good values, but she wasn't entirely interested in them. Nor was she interested in a love story, but Celondis was her friend, so despite her thoughts, she replied, "Yes, I guess you were right." Short, and curt. Enough to leave her satisfied with what she had said- Velatha was so glad she blinde. She listened to the Kings speech with a watchful gaze, then turned her gaze back over to Celondis, "Of course I will, how else will I woo the King?" she laughed, though it was hard to tell if she was joking or being serious, "Of course, you have too as well." Might as well add her to it. It's not like the King would ever pick her.
Speak of the devil, as if on cue, Alwen had suddenly appeared in front of the two ladies. He had first had to make his way through a flock of clingy elves begging for the first dance, and around some other elves searching for him amongst the... Other elves. He stopped in front of their table, eyes scanning over the two of them, causing Velatha to stand up a curtsy a little bit, about to speak before Alwen stepped towards Celondis, laying a hand on her arm to notify he was there, "Would you care to dance?" he wasn't sure if she could, but he wanted her to.
Nori giggled as Theo led her onto the floor, picking up the hem of her dress as she did so. They were one of the few couples there that evening that were already on the dance floor, the rest of the girls looking around hurriedly for her father. But the few who had time and weren't rushing were watching them with smiles as Nori danced with Theo along the dance floor. The ball dances were less groups and more normal, like humans ball dances, but they just happened to follow a pattern around the dance floor to which Nori had told Theo about earlier. She took a quick glance around the dance floor before turning her gaze back onto her beloved, "You think he'll be okay? I'm quite worried for him." she suddenly said, worried for her father, which was of course reasonable.

(Oh my goodness! Is she gonna be okay?! Are you taking good care of her? Haha.)
Celondis raised an eyebrow at Velatha's tone but let it slide. Perhaps the other woman was simply nervous? Either way, she didn't want to ruin the night with an argument, or even a squabble. She didn't leave her cozy cottage often, especially not for such grand occasions, and she fully intended to drink it in as much as possible. The palace even smelled wonderful. She laughed at her friend's joke. "I wish you the best of luck," she said sincerely, a joking lilt in her voice nevertheless. She was about to make some sort of self-deprecating comment about te state of her dancing skills when she heard footsteps approaching and stop at their table. But she had no idea it was the king until he placed a hand on her shoulder and spoke to her. Her breath caught in her throat and her foggy eyes widened for a moment before she could compose herself again. "It would be my honor, Your Majesty," she said, trying to hide her surprise. She paused for a moment to carefully lean her thin cane against the table. A small, somewhat awkward smile appeared on her lips and she held her hand up. "If I could trouble Your Majesty to take my hand? I don't want to ram into you; it would be a shame to step on your foot before you can enjoy your night of dancing."
"Worried?" Theo tilted his head and looked down at her, trying not to trip over himself or, worse, Nori and to concentrate on the conversation at the same time. "Why are you worried?

(I will admit I was really excited to rp them, and I am a little sad to let them go. But I figure Theo and Nori are still fun to rp, and at least we can still keep track of what's happening to Alwin and Celondis even if we don't actually play it out.)

(Hmm. How about one date with the king and Celondis? Time and venue of your choosing, and I won't ask you to rp them again? Other than that, we can keep on with Thori! Does that sound ok? We don't have to do that right now either.)

(Right! Duh. Coming up! Bun I'm going to bed after this.)
Although he was kind of infamous for his poor dancing skills, somehow Theo had spent the ball on cloud nine dancing with Nori. To his credit, he had only stepped on her poor little elf toes once.
He had also sneaked into her room that night--or more appropriately that morning. He thought it would be a cute reversal, but Nori was pretty worn out and the surprise was kind of dulled by sleepiness. So they just went to sleep in the crazy big bed with the crazy number of pillows. Like seriously, was this a typical elvish thing?
The next morning, Theo had been pleasantly surprised to learn that the King had a date. An actual date with one of the women he'd met last night. Theo grinned smugly and bragged to Nori that the confidence potion he'd given her father must have worked very well indeed. He'd also suggested they go on their own date. She could pick the place and he could pack the picnic.
But White couldn't come. Period.
Anyway. Theo knocked on Noti's bedroom door early that afternoon with a basket in hand. There wasn't really any substantial food, just snacky things and a jar of a fruity punch-type drink they made here that Theo really liked. He'd also dressed in a more elvish fashion for the day, because their clothes were lighter and looser and therefore more comfortable for frolicking in the fields with one's sweetheart.
(Yikes. I apologize if he sounds too much like Alec! It's been awhile, you know? Haha.)

Nori had been sitting at her dresser, brushing her semi long/short hair with a small smile on her face. She couldn't stop thinking about the fact her father had chosen one of the woman to have date with today, the fact that he was finally going to be happy again- Well, not like he wasn't happy, she just believed he'd be happier with someone by his side, even if it wasn't mother. She missed her mother so much... But, sometimes it was time to move on.
She was wearing her long coat from the days before, but under that was a pretty plain dress compared to the ones she would usually wear if being in front of people. It was a soft, baby blue colour, matching her hair and her eyes. The collar was just round around her neck and the skirt touched the floor, it was almost as if she had brought it from the human kingdom, which was... The truth. She had been looking through her elvish dresses, and they had all been too flashy for a simple day out with Theo, no matter if she wanted to look nice with him. They were comfortable around each other, and even if he wore a sack of potatoes, she would still love him the same.
She rose to her feet as a soft knocking came to the door, and Nori got up quickly to her feet, scurrying over to open it. White had been sitting in the corner, though he didn't move when Theo knocked, seeing as Nori had asked that it just be their day today. He had seemed a little bit hurt by that, but who wouldn't be? He didn't hold a lot of emotion, though, so he got over it pretty quick. Nori opened the door, and giggled as she spotted Theo wearing elvish clothes, looking up at him, "Looks like we did the opposite today." she said, moving her jacket side slightly to show off her baby blue dress, then smiling up sweetly at him, "I know just where we can go today~"
She wanted to take him back to their place, where the fairies were. They hadn't been there in a while, and Nori wanted to just... Sit with him, even in the cold, and enjoy some food. The fairies would have the whole plays lit up and warm, anyways, so it would be no problem. Like their own little paradise, she just.... Wanted to go back there.

(Like coffee grounds and stuff! Yummy! Ha ha.) (Oh, shoot, I definitely forgot it was winter. My bad!) (Ha ha, we're both struggling a little to find their personalities. Don't sweat it.)
Theo's face lit up when she answered the door, like it always did when he saw her. He laughed at her observation, glancing over her dress. "It seems we did. I like the dress, though. You make a far more lovely human than I do," he told her. "You do?" He smiled and tilted his head. "Where are we going? And why are you so smiley?" He brushed a finger over her cheek. "More smiley than usual, anyway."
