-=Hawke's outside today, squaring off with his Lockjaw. They both stare at each other, both unmoving as something unheard by the general public actually sets Hawke off. As the Lockjaw watches, Hawke attempts to practice something like this with the animal as a partner of sorts.=-

I have not had troubles with dance before. -=Hawke doesn't look entirely pleased with this as he tries to work on 'lifting' on the balls of his feet.=- There is little dancing. Not the way I learned it. It is...posturing like great birds do.

-=A turn, holding his arm out, and a :/ expression on his face.=- There truly is nothing more than this to dance? You do not truly touch another. There is no holding one close and sharing with their breath. It is... hopping on feet very slowly.

-=Yeah, that little flutter of his feet for a dance step? He executes it well enough, but he feels silly.=-

There will be other dances at this party, yes? Please?

-=He frowns. It was so unfair.=-

I ... this is confusing. Your father treasures you to the point of keeping you prisoner, only to trap you into this marriage. It is sad.

It confuses me as well. There had been no warning for me that marriage was a possibility at home, not until Mother told me of Paris's visit the afternoon of the ball. And then it was all anyone would speak of. If Mother or Father noticed me with anyone besides Paris that evening, the would escort me back to him, and I would be by his side until I could think of an excuse to slip away, or Tybalt could find a way to separate him from me.

[She smiles a little.]

I think that Tybalt felt as you do. He was my only ally in opposing the match, the only one who could see it was a bad idea. I am glad that I had one such friend among my kinsmen.

-=He listens, mulling the information over. Tybalt, in the end, was her only ally in this mess called marriage.=-

Then...He was truly your family-he cared for you more than a tool to strengthen whatever it is that human feel needs to be stronger.

[She nods.]

Of all my family, he is the one whom I miss most of all. Even more than Nanny.
