[color=#B5B1CE]The endearing smile from Aslam caused Elena’s cheeks to redden. She ended up smiling broadly herself upon seeing it, then realized she needed to be proper, and softened it. [color=#fff4b1]”Aslam it i--what a nice name.”[/color] She replied with a grin. The way he said her name was music to her ears. She almost greedily wanted to hear it again. It was such a relief to find good company after the horrifying dance with Count Emil. She shuddered as she thought of him and pushed him out of her mind.

She watched him walk ahead of her and pull her chair out and sighed in relief; he was a  proper gentleman. Elena sat down and took her napkin to place on her lap and turned to the table nearby to begin politely eating. Elena properly fixed him a plate as well and poured wine for them both. As she listened to him, she realized she was entranced by his voice and nearly forgot to reply. His remark about being interested in Varian made her blush again. 

[color=#fff4b1]”If you don’t mind me asking, what is your sister’s name? Which Varian noble was it?”[/color] She continued in between bites of her food, [color=#fff4b1]”It seems that the Alidasht and Varian interests are blossoming. I do believe my brother, Magnus, went off with Shehzadi Amira and my sister, Nora. I am quite interested in the Alidasht myself, so this works out for both of us.”[/color] She glanced at the chalice then up at him. Both were equally beautiful. [color=#fff4b1]”The cuisine is delicious, I must agree.”[/color] Elena replied, and gestured to her plate. [color=#fff4b1]”If you want something in particular, please let me know.”[/color] Elena took a sip of wine and then set it down. 

His passion for music and dancing were delightful. Elena tilted her head to one side with curiosity and a mischievous look in her eyes. [color=#fff4b1]”Is that so? You might have to show me sometime.”[/color] Elena noted his nostalgia and smiled. It was sweet to see his passion and she could tell he was excited. [color=#fff4b1]”As for me, I play violin, but that’s the extent of my musical interest. I’m more into the arts, reading, and blacksmithing, instead of dancing.”[/color] Elena waited for his reaction to her slightly unusual interest with a mixture of both curiosity and anxiety. [/color]
