The smile on his face faltered. His brows furrowed, and he couldn’t help but tilt his head to the side as Amira abruptly ran off. His confusion was evident as he glanced over at Magnus, who politely excused himself and slowly followed after her. Roman could only assume that the young woman might be a bit overwhelmed.

Roman turned his attention back to Nora, resuming his warm smile as if nothing had happened. “[color=f26522]I have that effect on people sometimes.[/color]” He glanced back toward where she had disappeared. “[color=f26522]I met her a time or two during my visits to Alidasht. I think she will be okay.[/color]” His mind dug up a few older memories of the girl, but he quickly filed them away. At the very least, it looked like the explosive confrontation with the King had fizzled out for now.

He stepped closer to Nora, just enough to allow for a more intimate conversation over the noise of the ball. His tone was soft. Despite what he expected to face tomorrow, he was actually having a good time tonight. “[color=f26522]You truly do look like you belong in one of those lovely romance novels about royalty.[/color]” He locked eyes with her for a moment, then nervously looked away.

The confidence in his posture shifted; he was no longer the headstrong man who had initially approached the group, but someone softer. It was as if he had completely forgotten why he had originally come over. He did, however, pick up on the subtle tone in her voice for just a moment.

“[color=f26522]I do hope I’m not intruding on anything. I came over here to ask you for a dance.[/color]” The question tumbled out quickly, accompanied by a nervous blush.
