words seemed to register in his mind.
โOh fuck and I made you dance. I am so sorry. Do you want toโฆ sit down somewhere?โ
He reached out but hesitated a bit not sure if he should touch Dominik after all that. Most of his cocky bravado was gone by now, replaced by embarrassment.
๐ก๏ธ
Kyren stumbled back a bit, feeling slightly out of his element now. Heโd apparently misread the whole situation.

Saorlaithโs laugh was definitely mocking this time as it rung insistently through his head.
โSeems like youโre losing your touch, Kyren.โ
Though something +

โHmm, this just keeps getting more and more interesting.โ
๐ก๏ธ
And well Kyren couldnโt really argue with her, flying canes werenโt really normal for this period. At least not that he was aware. Though then Dominikโs +
๐ก๏ธ
But before Dominik could actually fall, a pair of strong arms catch him.
โWhoa, careful there. Didnโt think Iโd have you falling for me so soon.โ
Kyren jokes, their faces suddenly very close to each other.
โYou alright?โ
He asks, his smile laced with genuine concern.
๐ก๏ธ
Kyren chuckled again. God this man sure was a bit of a nervous mess. Cute.
โThereโs really no need to be so humble, Dominik.โ
So it was for inspiration. Well a ball sure was a good place to find that.
โSo anyone catch your eye yet?โ
๐ก๏ธ
โItโs completely fine.โ
He smiled at them. Alright, they werenโt outright attacking, just a bit nervous it seemed. He could work with that.
โAnd yeah, Iโm okay. Just seem to have gotten lost a bit. Could you tell me where I am?โ

โOho. *The* Storyteller? This just got a lot more interesting.โ
Saorlaithโs laugh echoed through Kyrenโs head like the clinking of a glass.
๐ก๏ธ
He wasnโt quite sure what the goddess meant by that and it wasnโt like he could just ask her. Not without looking completely crazy +

in front of Dominik and he would prefer that not to happen. So heโd just have to ask her later. For now he had a very pretty man to focus all his attention on.
โWow. A playwriter? Didnโt know I was dancing with the next Shakespeare.โ
He responded with a grin.
โSo what brings +
๐ก๏ธ
Kyren hadnโt been exactly sure where he was when heโd woken up in some random field. Not that he ever really knew where Saorlaith sent him, the goddess wasnโt exactly known for telling him things. But after aimlessly walking for a few minutes heโd spotted someone in the +
@TheLeadingR0le to them.
They had a shallow cup with boiling water inside, crushing some of the nightshades and dropping them inside, waiting for it to mix.
VII hadn't noticed the other approaching.
๐ก๏ธ
Dominik. It suited him.
โA pleasure to meet you, Dominik. Iโm Kyren.โ
He continued to lead their dance, though his charming smile did waiver when he noticed how stiff Dominik was getting, the other clearly uncomfortable.

โCome on, little spark. Donโt tell me youโre +

[ he throws a quick glance around.. growing more stiff and nervous.. before the stranger leans in. ]
"...my- my name I.. uh... .. Im Dominik. its. ... nice to meet you"
[ ... what is an appropriate continuation?? ]
"...a ... and yours?"
actually getting soft for this man. It doesnโt suit you.โ
Saorlaithโs voice rang through his head, sounding almost mocking.
๐ก๏ธ
Kyren cleared his throat, trying his best to keep up his cocky facade and not let the goddess get to him.
โSo, you attend these balls often? I donโt +
๐ก๏ธ
By now a few people were staring, whispering to each other. It wasnโt every day that you saw two men dancing with each other, at least not in this century. Though Kyren seemed to bask in their attention, his grin only brightening as he leaned closer.
โI donโt think I ever +

[ ..well that's easier said than done. ...thank god he atleast knows how to dance. ....yes even in the woman's role of a slow dance. ]
[ he nods his head a few times, very flustered by the situation he found himself in.. ....lets see how long his knee will let him ]
๐ก๏ธ
He canโt help but grin brightly. God, this guy was cute. One of his hands slips down to Dominikโs waist as they start slow dancing together.
โYouโre as stiff as a board. Relax. I promise I donโt bite.โ

Saorlaithโs giggle echoes through Kyrenโs mind like the jingle of +
[ ..... The storyteller stands frozen, mind blanking completly and before he could come to his senses - he's made to slow dance. .... or was it his choice? ]
