4th Swan's Flight // Action

[swordofswans]

The Prince prowls the streets, a soft smile gracing his lips. Though, if one was to stop and truly take him in, the slight twist of his features might be taken in a more sinister light. Or perhaps in the lack of any light, with the absence of the pale glow that often seems to shine around his features replaced by a shadowy tinge. His lithe steps

[Taiwan is just walking along the street in Splendor by the fountain, when she catches sight of someone familiar in the distance. But it was getting late, and...] Prince Siegfried-! [She raises her hand to wave at him]

[Action]

[swordofswans]

[He flinches at that name, it isn't his anymore, he's certain... Though he whirls sharply, intending to correct the caller, he pauses on recognizing her. The smile he returns hers with is so thin as to almost be a smirk, but he greets her smoothly.]

Miss Taiwan. How nice to see you this evening. Tell me, have you been well?

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

[Well. That was a strange reaction. Taiwan could be more than a little bit oblivious at times, but even so...] I-i've been fine, but... [tilts her head] You don't...are you all right, Prince Siegfried?

[Action]

[swordofswans]

Of course. I am... [He seems to consider the matter, chuckling quietly.] Quite perfect, I believe.

[His eyes crinkle pleasantly, perhaps with kindness.] Did I worry you?

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

N-not...not really? I mean... [But she's getting worried now] I'm glad to hear you're doing well though!

[Action]

[swordofswans]

And I am glad to hear that about you, as well. Very glad, indeed...

[He takes a step closer to her, his smile darkly teasing.]

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

U-um... Right... W-were you going somewhere, Siegfried?

[Action]

[swordofswans]

I was hoping to see you, of course.

[A half-truth, and one easily delivered. He may not have been hoping for her specifically, but she can give him what he longs for.]

[Action] - WOW SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO MISS THIS ;_;

[mei_blossom]

Y-you were?! Um...

[Action] THAT IS OKAY I've been really slow at tags for the past few days anyway orz

[swordofswans]

Of course. It had been such a terribly long time since we had last spoken. I couldn't stand it.

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

H-has it really been that long...? I'm sorry, I should try to be more available...

[Action]

[swordofswans]

[A melancholy sigh.]

Even a moment away from you is far too long...

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

[Oh, Siegfried, you say such romantic~ things] A-ah...um...

[Action]

[swordofswans]

[Yes, isn't he so very charming...?]

Of course, I could make it so that we would never part...

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

W-what do you mean?

[Action]

[swordofswans]

[He reaches out, leaning close as he rests a hand against her cheek and whispers.]

It would be very easy... You would be a much better princess than that rotten crow ever was...
