Oh.

Oh he was asking who her chaperon was so he could escort her...
She grit her teeth, trying to think of a good answer (or lie...)

"I'm.. I'm perfectly well!" came her protest. "I just.. you .. you startled me is all and I.. it's why i nearly slipped and..."

Mikhail kept smiling. "You have my most sincere apologies, my lady." Finally, his brain started functioning enough to remind him to take a step back. He bowed slightly at the waist—polite, but not deferential.

"Seeing as your near-tumble was my doing, I feel responsible. Are you sure I can't escort you somewhere?"

Her cheeks were so red.
And she hated it.
She almost didn't hear what he even said.
At his words, she jerked back a little and blinked, thinking over his offer before glancing around- curious as to where her brother had gone.

She was about to call for him, but then closed her lips and looked back to Mikhail.

"You.. you could escort me to the ballroom. I... I got lost in this maze and could.. could use an escort out."

It wasn't entirely untrue.
But she could at least avoid her brother a few moments more.

"Of course." He dipped his head to her and offered his arm with the ease of someone who had done this before. Quite often. "I believe my sister is lurking about in the ballroom somewhere," he noted cheerfully as he started guiding them back through the maze. "I suppose I'd best rescue whichever poor soul she's tormenting, and this gives me an excuse to do so," he chattered on, hoping that just...talking normally would maybe help put her at ease.

"Gavi?" Andreas had forayed a little further into the maze, still frowning, as he searched for his sister. He shouldn't have said anything. He knew he shouldn't have said anything, but...

"Gavriella?" he called again, turning down a path and putting up against another dead end with a low growl of frustration.

At the sound of her brother's voice, her fingernails instinctively bit into his arm and she found herself nearly tripping over his feet!

"Oh, forgive me!" How could she be so clumsy!? But she had to think fast-

She gave his arm an urgent tug, glancing just once over her shoulder.

"It's just I.. I'd hate to miss the next dance.."
They could barely hear the music out where they were, but the song was a popular one.
"It's one of my favorites."
A lie.
But she didn't hate the song.

"Would you mind helping me get back and share with me in a dance for the rest of this song?"

Anything to avoid her brother at that moment would be great!
Hopefully he'd just say yes...

Mikhail raised an eyebrow at her tugging, but allowed her to pull him along easily enough. "I would be more than happy to, my lady," he replied graciously, though his smile was less polite and more...playful. Eyes glinting, he bowed his head toward her slightly and added, "If I do, would you do me the honor of giving me your name?"

The words were entirely mundane—a reasonable enough question—but his tone turned them into...something else. Almost an invitation.



"Gavriella!"

Further in the maze, Andreas was starting to panic a bit. Why wouldn't she answer? She could have gotten that far away, surely...

"My name?"
Oh, so foolish of her!
"Ah, how silly of me not to introduce myself," she went on, faking her laughs along the way while also..
kinda..
trying to get him to move a lot faster towards the ball room as she did so.
She tucked back a loose strange of curly dark hair and forced her prettiest smile up at him.

"Where are my manners? I am Gavriella Marcell. And you are?"

"Enchanted," Mikhail responded smoothly, and resisted her urging him along just long enough to take her hand and feather a kiss to the back of it, his eyes never leaving hers. He smiled, straightened up, and tucked her hand back into the crook of his arm as he steered them back out of the maze and allowed her to move them toward the ballroom.

"I am...no one of much importance, here," he replied, cagey but obviously so. Baiting almost, as though refusing to give his name was a game he was coaxing her into playing. "I'm not exactly a local, you see. I doubt you'd recognize my name, Lady Marcell. Ah, here we are."

They'd reached the ballroom, and the music still played. He offered his hand with another smile. "You asked for a dance, my lady?"

For all the life of her, the way her world stopped and heart fluttered in her throat at the light, little kiss...

And she immediately felt her blushing cheeks clean to her ears.
And she closed her lips the moment she realized she was gaping.

And she wanted to speak, surely she did- but then they were at the dance floor and all she could find her brain rummaging together to say was,

"Why, yes. I'd love to dance."

Mikhail’s eyes glinted at her as he swept her forward onto the floor, her hand in his while his other settled lightly on her waist. “You do me great honor, my lady,” he teased gently. In another situation it might have been mocking, but the way he said it made it sound like she was in on the joke—like they were the only two people who were.



Back out in the gardens, Andreas had determined his sister was no longer in the maze. Surely she wouldn’t ignore him this determinedly? Maybe she’d gone back to the ballroom...?

That expression, oh.. whatever it was, made her heart do that strange fluttering thing up inside her throat again and she barely had a chance to calm it down once the pair were on the dance floor.
And soon she realized she was simply staring at him as they danced, nothing but him smiling at her and she...

Soon felt strangely self conscious and looked away for a brief moment.

"You dance lovely."

Small talk. Yes. Small talk was good.

Mikhail laughed, low and warm, and let his hand slide just a bit further than propriety dictated onto the small of her back. “Thank you,” he chuckled, then added sincerely, “You’re a lovely dancer yourself, Lady Gavriella.”

Which was good. At least he’d share a common interest with his future wife.

Gods. He’d been so determined to hate her, just because he was being strong armed into this by his family. But...she was too, wasn’t she? Maybe this...wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. She seemed like a perfectly lovely young woman.

He had just...never been much for the idea of settling down.

As evidenced by the fact that he just couldn’t seem to turn off the “charm mode”, even around a girl he’d told himself he was going to dislike on principle. “Are you here with your family tonight?” he asked as he guided her through a turn, then pulled her in closer for just a moment. His lips twitched and he added a little wickedly, “Or your husband, perhaps? Should I be worried?”

The hand moving just so on her back wasn't missed as she felt a zing go up her spine, tickling all over her skin to make herself shiver with goosebumps.
"Th-thank you," she said, barely catching the next set of questions about her family and...

She began to choke, having not expected that comment at all! And for the life of her she couldn't stop choking as she pulled back within his arms, flailing about and grasping at her throat.

Oh. Oh dear.

Flighty little thing, isn't she?

"Oh, goodness, my lady, let me—"

"Allow me."

Mikhail froze, gritted his teeth, and turned with Gavriella still in his arms to see a young woman with his eyes smirking at him as she held out a glass of water. "Reina. Dearest," he said through gritted teeth. "Excellent timing." Suspiciously so.

Reina just beamed at him and pressed the glass into Gavriella's hand before giving the other woman a pat on the back. "Easy, darling. My brother has this effect on most women, believe me. Just take a sip and breathe."

The Bartok siblings had managed to guide her toward the edge of the dance floor without drawing too much attention, and Reina's attention was already wandering again. She shot Mikhail a look—you've got this?—and he nodded once. She gave Gavriella another smile and urged quietly, "Sit, dear, catch your breath," before she turned and glided away back toward the veranda.

"I apologize, my lady," Mikhail said with a sigh as he guided Gavriella onto the nearest chair and half knelt in front of her. He offered a sheepish smile. "It was a joke in poor taste, I'll admit, but I didn't mean to startle you so."

Gavriella felt foolish, nodding her head between coughs as she gracefully accepted the drink and downed it all in attempts to rid herself of the god awful choking fit she had but moments ago.

Her face was still red, her eyes, still teary, as she was seated and brushing away those tears with the back of her hand. It took her a moment or two to fetch herself, and when she did, she found herself looking down at Mikhail who was practically kneeling before her.

She flushed and dropped her gaze, recalling just how they had gotten into this awkward predicament. Then she recalled- was it his sister? It must've been.. as her eyes looked away towards her fleeting form..

"Oh she.. that was your sister? I.. I didn't get a chance to thank her..."

“She is.” Mikhail pulled a face. “Reina. And I wouldn’t worry overmuch about that—I’m sure you’ll have another chance.” Probably sooner than later. They would be in-laws, after all.

Now that Gavriella seemed to have calmed a bit, Mikhail let some of the tension drop from his shoulders. He gave her that sheepish, boyish smile again. “I truly do apologize for startling you my lady,” he murmured. And without really thinking it through—or considering the fact that they were still in a large ballroom, despite the fact that no one was paying them too much attention—he reached up to drag his thumb lightly across her cheek, under her eye, to catch an errant tear.

“And here I’d been hoping to distract you from your weeping,” he murmured, almost more to himself.

Across the room, Andreas had made it back inside. He searched the dance floor from his place by the door, growing steadily more agitated with each passing moment. Where on earth—ah! That was her dress, wasn’t it? He started to make his way across the floor, dodging dancing couples with the ease of a practiced fencer.

“Gavi—“ he started, relieved, then drew up short when he realized she wasn’t alone.

Ah. His sister. She wished she could have properly introduced herself, especially since she had been so kind as fl help her out.

"Yes, but I do feel foolish for not getting a proper introduction or atleast a proper thank you."

But then he moved to wipe a tear and she felt herself tense and her all over body blush return.

"Truly, don't worry yourself." Mikhail smiled at her again and let his thumb skate along her cheekbone once more. How easy it was to earn that blush was oddly fascinating. "I'd be happy to pass along your thanks, if you like—"

A brisk clearing of someone's throat cut him off and he straightened up quickly, turning to see the young man from the garden standing and glaring at him. "Ah. I assume you're the Marcell heir?" Mikhail "guessed" with a crooked grin. He glanced back and forth between Gavriella and the young man. "The two of you are far too similar to be unrelated."

Andreas tried for a smile but really just managed a grimace and gritted out. "Yes. Andreas Marcell. Pleased to meet you." His eyes flicked to his sister and immediately softened. "Gavi, you alright? What happened?"

He shot Mikhail a suspicious look as he asked the question, but the other nobleman just continued smiling at him blithely.

Gavriella's color drained the moment her brother showed up. She moved uncomfortably, sparing a small smile to her brother.
"Yes, yes, I'm just fine," she insisted, voice still a bit croaky after her coughing fit. She attempted to clear her throat and gave her brother a look.
" I had just been enjoying a very lovely dance "

And avoiding her brother, but she wouldn't outwardly admit that.

"I see." Andreas looked between the two of them, his frown deepening. "Well. Seeing as the dance seems to be over—" A pointed look at Mikhail, which he returned with an utterly innocent grin— "Perhaps we'd best be finding Mother and Father, Gavriella?"

Mikhail decided that was his cue. "I'm sure the two of you don't want me lingering." He nodded to Andreas, then gave a half bow to Gavriella, reaching out to take her hand and brush another light kiss to the backs of her fingers. "It was lovely to meet you, young Lady Marcell," he murmured, eyes glinting at her. "I...hope to see more of you in the future."

"Yes. Well." Andreas inserted himself between the two as Mikhail straightened up. "A pleasure and all that. Thank you for...looking after my sister."

Mikhail nodded, gave him a polite smile, gave Gavriella a slightly warmer one, and breezed away to find his sister in the crowd.

Andreas exhaled sharply and spun to face his sister, eyes flicking over her with concern. "You're sure you're alright? Who was that?"
