I like this. It's pretty, and yet there are undercurrents.

'texture' is a good word for it, yes. Fun.

[klgaffney]

i like it--it's light and it's pretty and yet, you can tell there's layers underneath that she isn't catching, and doesn't care, because it's her first dance, dammit. i like that went for a stranger, knowing that if all else fails, THAT will get her attention and someone to dance with. heee. the way she thinks is not going to make things interesting at ALL, nope. =p

So she heads for a likely-looking stranger, absolutely certain she's going to be intercepted on the way

Brat child is right. *laughs* Tempest in a pretty little teapot might be another way of describing her, ta.

Her mother still looks perfect, even the leaves of her earrings not yet tangled in her hair, and Giselle resolves to figure out the spell her mother's using as soon as she can.

Spell or just caution, and not dancing? I like that Giselle thinks spell before anything, and that her first thought is that she wants to learn it.
