I really do like snowstorms. Seeing as even I'm not heartless enough to make my people drive in those conditions, I get the whole lab to myself.
Peace and quiet, at last.
And all those childish little adaptations of classic Christmas songs that include 'funny' little jokes about heroes. Like, really?
I can't have a damn thing in this house.
You know, I actually used to love going out to the Christmas markets, strolling through and seeing what sort of handmade crafts people had to sell.
Until I started seeing little crafted superheroes in Santa hats, and suddenly my Christmas spirit evaporated.
"Maybe some dancing afterwards, if we're so inclined", she continues with a bit of a grin.
Any excuse to hold the queen close. Her warmth is intoxicating.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
she has her own company ??
oh ! that’s absolutely wonderful,
but it would be best if she hadn’t
or wouldn’t pull an all nighter.
those aren’t always good . .
⠀⠀ ❛ That’s good to know. ❜
"There are benefits to owning the company."
Yes, Evelyn will need to pull a few all-nighters to make up for the lost time, but Iduna doesn't need to know that.
"I set my own schedule, for the most part. That means I'm allowed to make time for the things that matter."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀ ❛ How kind of you, I suppose
that can work too. I hope you
aren’t too busy as well ? ❜
do forgive her, she just doesn’t
want to overstep anything . .
but, she too wants to bond with
the inventor.
"I'm willing to work around your schedule", she offers charmingly. "And then we can get to know each other a bit better, hm?"
Evelyn won't complain about the opportunity to bond with the gorgeous royal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀❛ a date— an outing of some
sorts ? I hope that will be
alright with my scheduling . . ❜
a time out with someone new
sounds rather fun. Ruling a
kingdom, though being a wife
can be exhausting and rewarding.
a night out wouldn’t hurt. .
"Is that so?" That's refreshing, a pretty face and an interest in conversation that Evelyn hopes will extend beyond this party.
"Then perhaps I could take you out on a proper date sometimes?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
a party is always a delight to
witness and be apart of. upon
being twirled once more, her
lilac hues glistened with joy.
❛ you don’t ? but you’re doing so
well. But— I do enjoy your
company . . and I’d like to get
to know you more. ❜
"Can't pass up a party, me", Evelyn chuckles, stepping to the side and twirling the other woman with her. "But I must admit I don't usually last this long."
Tilting her head with a charming wink, she adds, "The company must be excellent."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀thought of such thing hadn’t
crossed the woman’s mind at all.
perhaps dancing and spending
time chatting or dancing with others
were on her mind.
⠀⠀ ❛ I don’t believe we’ve chatted
much. But I’m glad you decided
to come here. ❜
There's a curious thought that Evelyn keeps to herself, a vague wondering if perhaps she could get a kiss goodnight from the other woman once their dance has come to an end.
Ah well, better not to press. Evelyn has manners, after all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀the brush of her brims tickled
the brunette’s manus, offered
a flushed expression. eventually
cheeks dusted in pink hue.
⠀ ❛ thank you . . ❜
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀ ❛ Well, I’ll have you know
that I’m not disappointed.
I am very pleased . . and you’re
a very good dancer. ❜
she voiced, a grin managed to
spread upon her brims as the
two danced.
