            her back remained turned to bear the weight of cecillion's heated gaze.  she understood the other's hate he must've felt towards her in this moment,  it was completely deserved,  there was no denying that〝  the reason i never told you was because i never wanted you to be associated with the version of me that has killed people ＂ arms remained folded over her chest as her fingers dug into her arms〝  i was willing to keep up this charade of mine's for as long as i needed to so long as i can feel like i was actually worthy of loving again,  even if my apperance was fake.  and i understand that is selfish of me to do,  but would you have really still accepted me even after knowing the truth﹖ ＂

cecillion's golden gaze regards her,  disdainfully so.  in the first place,  one shouldn't have allowed oneself to surrender such whims to someone⸺anyone.  laying himself vulnerable,  just for it to repeat again  ..  something lays rest deep within his memories,  an obscured past.  yet the depths of the coil in his heart was achingly familiar,  he had every right to be livid,  had every right to loathe her for it. ⠀"  i have been true to you.  yet this is what you give in return?  " ⠀a forced laugh. ⠀"  what more..  have you not told me?  "

            irina's lips pressed into a thin line out of annoyance before a quiet grumble could be heard followed later by a sigh〝  it's work related.  nothing that concerns you ＂ was all she responded with before her head rest against cecillion's shoulder with a soft thud

inquisitive,  cecillion asks once more.⠀ "  then..  out with it dear.   it's not wise to keep it in..  much to your petulance,   you look like an angered pup.  "⠀ he throws in a little tease,  likely to ease her mind out of unsaid perturbations.

            〝  that's not it.  i'm upset because of a different reason ＂

            〝  oh please,  you say that as if you didn't fall just as hard for me as i did towards you ＂

            〝  i'd hate to be seen dancing as if i had two left feet in public.  so i took it upon myself to take a few lessons ＂

            a hand was placed against the nape of the heir's neck once he was close,  and she pulled cecillion down to her level until their noses breifly brushed〝  wouldn't you like to know﹖ ＂ she said as a small smirk of her own appeared before she let go of the other and walked away.  irina then chose to stand near one of the bushes nearby,  her interest in the flowers within them being piqued

“⠀you wound me so.⠀” ⠀ a temporary hand rests upon his chest,   signifying as if one was hurt by the comment.    however,   after retracting one's hand─–  cecillion strode to her side and leaned with a careful whisper. ⠀ “⠀and what are the  'better'  things?⠀”

            the tactician in question responded with silence as her arms folded over her chest.  she later turned so her back was now facing cecillion〝  i'd argue that there's much more better things to look at than you ＂

            〝  you don't have to go and do that cecillion.  but it's really sweet thst you care ＂ a chuckle emits from irina as a hand reached to comb through the other's hair

“⠀for..  ‘awhile‘  you say?  you sound so certain you've obtained such from it.   if it were otherwise,   i might actually hunt that person down.⠀” ⠀ his arms encloses to her figure,   and his lips softly meets the blemish.

            〝 hm﹖  oh,  i almost forgot about that.  don't worry,  i've had this scare for a while.  i ended up getting it while i was doing a training routine ＂

            〝  is one of your reasons for enjoying my company is because you like when i poke fun at you﹖ ＂ she questioned with a smile before resting her head against cecillion's shoulder

“⠀i ask but your precious time,  my lady.⠀” ⠀ and thus,  he reaches to gently hold her hand───which were then planted with a brief kiss. ⠀ “⠀naught can compare to the pleasures of your dearly company alone.⠀”

            〝  i have the perfect dress to go with it too.  so you'll have to wait until then lover boy ＂ a small laugh came from her at the ticklish feeling of the other's finger grazing along her jawline〝  you tend to spoil me so much,  but i don't have anything special or expensive to give you in return ＂

“⠀it happens.   is it not entirely the purpose for next week's banquet?  no matter,   we'll get through it in no time.⠀” ⠀ cecillion feigns a reassuring smile,   his grip lightly tightens on both by her hand and the lithe waist. ⠀ “⠀my eyes are here ma colombe.    if you are so precarious on stepping on me again,   try to at least trust the flow of our movements.⠀”

            〝  well i'm trying not to step on your foot on purpose ＂ her gaze was focused on the floor,  not trusting her movements taken she had accidentally stepped on cecillion again〝  dancing isn't a strong suit of mine's ＂
