You are beyond bored.* *You take up the arm of a count who leers at you, his hand beginning to trace your arm. He holds you in place so you can't move.* *You're just about to say something when a smooth voice cuts through.* "Mind if I cut in?" *You look up and meet brilliant molten-gold eyes. They only meet yours for a second before meeting the count's, who now looks intensely annoyed.* "I don't think they're interested." *He pries you from the count gently, detangling him from you and leading you away.* "Now that he's out of the way." *He looks at you, and his eyes gleam and twinkle, made alive by the candlelight.* "Can I have this dance?"
