Honorary Guest (Private)

[Mi-cha]

my love.

Mi-cha blinked, looking at her feet. "I guess we should." She turned in the direction of his room, walking that way. She paused by his door, waiting for him to open it so she didn't invade his privacy.

Seung and Mi-cha walked back to the room he was given to stay in for the time being. Mi-cha was waiting beside the door for him to open it. It was alright if she opened it. He didn't have anything to hide. Mi-cha also went into the room that morning. There wasn't much of a difference. Seung opened the door to his room and walked in, walking over to his bags and rummaging through each one.

One of them had to have the burn cream he needed to give to Mi-cha. "H-Hey! Here it is." He was excited that it hadn't gotten lost. He pulled out the small jar of burn cream and walked over to Mi-cha, handing it to her. "Here you go. I can wait outside if you want."

[Mi-cha]

my love.

Mi-cha nodded at his statement. It would be appropriate if he didn't watch her put the cream on. Assuming he left, the princess quickly put the cream on the burns, giving a small sigh. "You have to do better than that, Mi-cha." she told herself, walking outside again.

Seung nodded and smiled at Mi-cha, starting to leave the room. He closed the door behind him and stepped to the side, leaning against the wall. It was kind of like deja vu. Now, he was waiting on the outside for Mi-cha to come out of there. I don't think the soup... or tea... worked. He thought to himself and slowly started to drift off. The door made a sound as Mi-cha walked outside. Seung almost fell over and he jumped up, straightening himself and looking to the princess. "I hope the cream works for you. It hasn't disappointed me yet so far. Are you ready to go?"

[Mi-cha]

my love.

Mi-cha gave a nod, smiling. "Thank you, Seung. Follow me. I'll show you where we have balls and parties." She started down the hall again, her loose strands of hair flying behind her. She paused behind a pair of great oak doors. She pushed them open, sweeping her arm out.

His dark green eyes blinked at her curiously. Why was she showing him the room for the balls and parties? He wasn't a party kind of guy unless he was convinced to go. Say for a certain someone, but that wasn't for a long time ago that he went to a dance for a girl he liked. Seung walked with Mi-cha to the ball room and looked forward when she had open the doors to the room.

It was probably one of the biggest rooms they had in the palace. Wow! There was so much space. You could imagine what to do with all of that space they had. Of course, it was a ball room. It had plenty of space for a big crowd of people to dance and converse. "Wow..." he said in amazement and walked into the ball room, looking around the inside of it.

[Mi-cha]

my love.

Mi-cha watched Seung walk around the room. He seemed almost amazed by it. The princess followed after him. "I thought I should show you in case there is a party." she said. "I can't remember the last time there was a ball."

She gave a sigh, twirling around once. She remember dancing with her father and her sister a long time ago. She gave a sad smile at the memory.

"Do you have a feeling there might be one soon?" Hopefully, he wouldn't have to attend it. But if it was for the princess, he might be persuaded to go. He was starting to see Mi-cha as a dear friend of his, and he would hate to see her upset if he refused to go to a party with her. Or, to show up to the party at all. I wouldn't have anything fancy to wear, anyway... I would just be embarrassing her.

Seung was looking out the big, glass windows and he glanced in the corner of his eye. It was the moment Mi-cha had twirled around her dress. He looked back out the window and pretended like he wasn't watching her. Mi-cha might have been clumsy, but her movements were so graceful sometimes. Seung turned to Mi-cha and just smiled at her. His dark green eyes sparkled as he watched her. He walked over to her and bowed, extending out his arm for Mi-cha to take his hand.

"Mi-cha, would you like to dance.. with me? We are here so why not have some fun..?" he asked and his gaze grew soft with concern for the princess. "Are you still in pain from the tea incident this morning?

[Mi-cha]

my love.

The princess glanced at Seung, seeing him bow. She paused, her hand above her chest. Dance? She then smiled, grabbing her skirts in a curtsy. "I would be honored." Mi-cha took his hand, straightening her form.

Seung took Mi-cha's hand into his, grasping it gently. Her soft hands were small compared to his. He started to put his hand on her waist and he pulled away a little bit, blushing hard to himself. It was a dance.. but would the princess be alright with him taking her waist? Baby steps... They needed to take baby steps. "U-Um... Is it okay if I take your waist?" It should've been fine with her unless she wanted to do a different dance. But, Seung had the slow dance in mind.

[Mi-cha]

my love.

Mi-cha felt her hand shrink against his own. She was so small compared to the boy. It made her seem fragile. She wasn't as fragile as one may think. She felt him begin to put his hand on her waist, almost taking her breath away.

At his question, the princess smiled, lifting her other hand to rest it on his shoulder. "You'll be fine." She had never really danced with anyone before, other than her father. Her father would try to teach her to dance because a princess had to know how to dance. That's how she finds her prince. he would say. But, have I found him?

His tensed muscles began to relax because of Mi-cha's touch. It was so gentle and calming. Seung challenged himself again and placed his other hand on her waist. Ugh, it felt so awkward. He wasn't sure if it was because she was a princess. Or, if it was the fact that he hadn't slow danced with a girl in forever. Mi-cha told him that he would be fine. "I sure hope so." he said with a laugh and looked into her eyes. That was the only way he could look at someone or talk to them. Their eyes told him stories. Mi-cha's eyes were the most interesting of them all. Seung began to take the lead and slowly eased them both into the dance. He remained calm and slowly led Mi-cha through the dance step by step.

[Mi-cha]

my love.

Mi-cha remembered dancing a few slow dances in her life before, but not many. It had been ages since she had last danced with someone that wasn't her father. The princess noticed that he held her gaze as they danced on the ballroom floor. I don't think anyone but Father had held my gaze in a dance.

She followed his lead, step by step. Mi-cha soon became accustomed to the rhythm, smiling up at Seung. She began to hum a small tune, something that would fit the dance, hoping that he wouldn't mind. Maybe it would even help him.

Seung blushed lightly and smiled back at the beautiful girl in front of him. It was going to be a shame when he would have to return to the Lightning Tribe. But, we could still be friends... The good thing was that he wouldn't see the princess in battle. He wouldn't be able to bring himself to fight against her. Mi-cha was his friend. The only true friend he ever had as far as he knew.

Seung listened to Mi-cha hum a tune and it did help him sink into the slow dance with grace. His movements matching with the rhythm of Mi-cha's sweet tune. "I must say you are a wonderful dancer, Mi-cha." he said before he raised his hand up slowly so Mi-cha would be able to catch onto it and twirl at that moment.

[Mi-cha]

my love.

Mi-cha just gave a quiet giggle at his blush. But, she was almost just as sure that she was blushing as well as he followed him move to her humming. She let herself close her eyes until he spoke to her. She blinked, letting go of his head to do a twirl before clasping it again.

"I'm usually really good with a good partner. So, you're a wonderful dancer as well." Mi-cha grinned, resting her other hand back on his shoulder.
