Prince Charming - tempplay by Ariel - "Is that so?"Charming grinned, removing his hand from Snow's and putting his arm around her waist as she drew in nearer towards his side. Magical affairs were happening all over the ballroom floor, Charming felt it would be such a crime as to not be apart of it and make their stamp on the wonderous evening as well. Charming released Snow from his grasp, and turning around to face the front of her, Charming placed one hand on his back as he performed a half bow, extending his free hand in front of himself towards Snow, "May I have this dance, Milady?" Charming asked, his gaze peeking upwards from his bow to take in the radiant beauty of his wife.

"Well, I wasn't necessarily invited, the last thing I wanted to do was draw attention by showing up uninvited before I could even get a chance to talk to the King in private. Also, it has been some time since our fathers have conversed, so I am unsure of the terms in which we are on with your family,"
Rose's emotions were turning from one to another almost as quickly as the twirls of the waltz. The hope she'd felt was gone and she was frowning with worry once again. "It does not bode well that my father did not invite your family. Yours is the neighboring kingdom. I doubt it to have been an oversight." As Rose went into another spin, she recalled back to a year ago, when she and Phillip had spoken about how the man, who she now knew was Phillip's father, ran his kingdom, with great concern and care for his subjects and even the kingdom's creatures. It brought to mind part of a conversation she'd recently overheard, of her father standing over his map with his soldiers, speaking with disgust about the weakness of catering to one's subjects. Settling back to facing Phillip, she found herself thinking there was a good chance it was King Hubert her father had been speaking about. "Our fathers have vastly different ideas on how a kingdom should be run. I do not think this bodes well for us."
"I will find a way to persuade your father, no matter what it is I have to do."
Phillip's determination filled her with warmth but it did nothing to ease her worry. Quite the opposite, her worry only grew. "You should not do so tonight. In fact, I think it would be best if you sneak out straight away. If my father finds out you are here, uninvited, he will find it a personal afront." She'd put it lightly, but the grave thoughts of the lengths her father would go to if he found out King Hubert's son had sneaked into his castle were in her tone and reflected in her eyes.

"You should not do so tonight. In fact, I think it would be best if you sneak out straight away. If my father finds out you are here, uninvited, he will find it a personal afront."
Rose's voice was filled with an immense amount of worry as she advised Phillip otherwise, for tonight at least. The anguish of what her father might think, let alone do, if he found out that Phillip had arrived uninvited and to whisk his only daughter away at that flushed through her face noticeably. The last thing the prince wanted to do was cause his beloved, and their current situation, any further harm, "I understand," Phillip nodded in agreement, as much as it pained him to be away from his love a moment more. They had to do this the right way, and he knew that he had to take Rose's advice into account before he got any further ahead of himself, "Let us meet again tomorrow, somewhere private. The King and the castle will be busy taking care of tonight's aftermath. Where can I find you tomorrow, so we can talk further?" Phillip inquired as the song began to run it's final course.

"The difference between you and me, Imp, is that you're a creature of principle. I'm more of a...let's say, casual opportunist,""And you should know this: not everything has to be entirely black and white."
As if he wouldn't know... Anyways, before Rumple could say anything to that, the other spoke up again, with words that greatly annoyed him again. He would not give him the satisfaction of noticing, though. Unfortunately, with him, displeasure of any kind was always visible in his features.
"Is he always this testy?
“Only when he fears he’s lost the upper hand,"
The Dark One threw his companion a cautioning look, and just when he was going to turn towards the count once more, finally countering, again, they were stopping him from doing so.
"Tell me, milord, how did you come to be such close friends with the king and queen?""It was not so long ago that Regina was your most prized pupil. What could your interest be in helping her archenemy?"
A smile appeared around Rumplestiltskin's lips, yet one that spoke of anything but joy. He didn't like the fact that Megara and the count seemed to get along a little too well. He threw him one last look as if to silently warn him before turning his attention back towards his companion, about to answer her question, with the smile changing into something joyful indeed, but rather in a gleeful way. "I'm not on anybody's side, nor am I anyone's friend. You should know that, dearie. My services are in great demand, that's all." Besides... that's none of your business. Especially not with the archenemy around, Rumple added only in mind while he couldn't help but throw a side-glance over at Dracula.

When her husband released her from his grasp, facing her front, and started moving his upper body, Snow knew exactly what he was up to. This man truly was a gentleman, a king in more than just the bloodline way. She smiled some more, replying to his bow with an elegant curtsey of her own.
"May I have this dance, Milady?"
"And here I thought you'd never ask," she joked with a quiet chuckle before launching into a proper answer to his genteel request, taking the other's hand very queen-like. "With the greatest of pleasure, Sir."

Dracula watched the minor back and forth between the Imp and Megara, him seeming annoyed that she would bring up such personal details in a conversation. Dracula found it rather interesting, not only was he the Dark One and servant master, but also a teacher? Dracula chuckled inwardly in surprise as he turned his perplexed attention onto Rumplestiltskin, "Regina? The Evil Queen was your prized pupil? Well that is...interesting to say the least." Dracula said without giving much more away, unless asked of course. If Regina was indeed Rumplestiltskin's student, then clearly he had a lot more work to do with her. He made this assumption of course based off of personal experience with the Evil Queen himself

"I understand,"
Rose knew that, like her, Phillip did not wish to part and miss out on a single moment more of time. It was a difficult request she'd made and though it was just as difficult for him to agree, he'd not only easily acquiesced, he'd done so with such selfless concern and understanding. She was flooded with relief. Like his father, he would make a wonderful king someday.
"Let us meet again tomorrow, somewhere private. The King and the castle will be busy taking care of tonight's aftermath. Where can I find you tomorrow, so we can talk further?"
Rose had planned to use the distraction of the ball to sneak out tonight to meet with Phillip at the tavern so that she could disappear with him somewhere to live a simple life in a far away kingdom, but learning that he was a prince made that impossible. She couldn't ask him to abandon the people depending on him to one day take the throne, nor could she potentially start a war between their kingdoms.
They had no choice but to try to do this the right away. Her father would not be happy to hear a request for his daughter's hand from a prince of a kingdom he hadn't deemed worthy to invite, but surely, even someone as cold and calculating as her father, would come around once he saw the love between them and the happiness and joy that Phillip brought to the face of his daughter.
"Tomorrow, at dawn," she said after a bit of thought, assuming her father would sleep later due to tonight's festivities. "Behind the castle, at the forest's edge." Rose spent a lot of time there, visiting with the animals. It had become such a monotonous and harmless routine that the other guards hardly paid her attention, especially since she was always accompanied by her father's right hand man. "Look for Blue," she said as the song came to an end and she and the other ladies curtsied as the men bowed.

"Regina? The Evil Queen was your prized pupil? Well that is...interesting to say the least."
"Even more interesting to know that she's the second member of that family to study under milord's tutelage," Megara confided even further. She knew she was on thin ice, but she also enjoyed being as fascinating to the Count as Princess Aurora had seemed to be. And the currency of the land at this particular moment was information.
"Regina's mother, Cora, was said to be the most talented sorceress in the land," she elaborated. "Cruel and calculating by all accounts, but also devoted to her daughter. Determined that Regina would one day wear a crown and sit upon the throne. And then one day Cora disappeared, never to be seen again. Perhaps Regina grew tired of living in that formidable shadow."

"Tomorrow, at dawn," "Behind the castle, at the forest's edge." "Look for Blue,"
Look for Blue, Phillip thought inwardly to himself as he took in the details of their next meeting. He had been so absorbed in the moment, that he forgot that the song and dance had come to an end. He followed suit quickly with the other men in realization, performing a gracious bow in front of Rose. As he rose back upwards, his eyes met hers again for one last time that night, "Tomorrow at dawn." Phillip proclaimed, his tone ushered with hope as he gently swooped her hands into his and kissed the top of them, "Until then...my Princess." Phillip still faced her, walking backwards into the crowd until he disappeared amongst the bodies of the party goers. He swiftly made his exit without a single word to anyone else and headed for the nearest Inn, waiting in anticipation for tomorrow's meeting.
*** Philip exits ***

Prince Charming - tempplay by Ariel - "And here I thought you'd never ask," "With the greatest of pleasure, Sir."
Leading Snow by hand, Charming brought her into the outer circle of the ballroom floor where he assumed position quickly to allow them to slip into the chorus of dancers that danced gracefully around the dancefloor. He simply couldn't take his eyes off of his beautiful wife, not even more a mere moment, "How did I ever get so lucky?" Charming beamed as he let her go for a second to envelop Snow into a twirl before they rejoined once more in complete and total sync.

The Dark One overcame a new wave of annoyance long before the count opened his mouth again. This perplexed look as if he was actually curious to learn more about him. Oh well, maybe he was, but surely only to use the information against him somehow. That wouldn't work out of course.
"Regina? The Evil Queen was your prized pupil? Well that is...interesting to say the least."
"Even more interesting to know that she's the second member of that family to study under milord's tutelage,""Regina's mother, Cora, was said to be the most talented sorceress in the land,""Cruel and calculating by all accounts, but also devoted to her daughter. Determined that Regina would one day wear a crown and sit upon the throne. And then one day Cora disappeared, never to be seen again. Perhaps Regina grew tired of living in that formidable shadow."
The only reason for him not stopping Megara from spilling out all this information right from the start was his intention to not make a scene here. His presence surely hadn't gone unnoticed, especially not in his extravagant clothes, but what he didn't need was becoming the main attraction of the evening. So Rumplestiltskin swallowed down his anger in silence until his companion gave him time to speak up for himself.
And when that moment came, he faked a smile, one that wandered from Megara to actually Dracula. She would be taught a lesson later but early enough. "Am I not the most gracious being?" Rumple said in a joking way. "Not only do I possess the greatest powers, I also share them with others. For a prize, which goes without saying," he added. "But let's not talk about me only. I'm curious, too. Why would a busy being like you remain in these lands after all this time? Did your own place start to feel too dull after all? Colorless?" The Dark One smirked slightly.

The moment that he led her hand towards the dance floor, glancing at her with this dreamy look, would never feel like a matter of course to her, not in the way of not being thankful for it each single day. Snow also knew that there never would come a day where it will become different. They were meant for each other, and they were meant to live each other even more with each day passing. "How did I ever get so lucky?" She smiled brightly at her husband when she landed in his arms again after a little twirl, only then replying to his former words. "Wasn't that the day when a spoiled brat relieved you of this beautiful ring without being asked," Snow offered with a sassy grin, gesturing at her own hand. Yes, she knew how she'd been back at that time. Maybe not spoiled in the way like she'd been on her younger years, but surely a brat.

"Tomorrow at dawn." "Until then...my Princess."
Rose automatically curtsied to his bow, also having taken a beat to realize the song had ended. When Phillip took her hands, Rose was swept up in the glowing warmth that filled her. Everything else around them fell away. "My Prince..." she said as he backed away, their hands touching until he was out of reach.
She kept watching, trying to catch glimpses of him between the other guests until a bump made her realize that the next dance had started and she still stood in the middle of the dance floor. Rose gave an apologetic nod to the couple she'd been in the path of and started to slowly weave her way back to the edges of the dance floor with the serene smile of a person in love, still swept up in a happy daze that had her forgetting that her imposing father might be observing her.

"Am I not the most gracious being?" "Not only do I possess the greatest powers, I also share them with others. For a prize, which goes without saying,"
"I see," Dracula nodded along, inwardly giddy with sheer amusement as the Imp praised himself over his pupil in which they spoke of. The very pupil that had succumbed greatly to Dracula's powers without him barely even trying. If only Rumplestiltskin had been there to see it, he surely would have cowered at the display of immense power that Dracula had displayed that day, "However, I do believe that Regina would surely benefit from some more training. When I encountered her, let's just say that she bent the knee rather easily." A sly grin crept along his face as he watched the reactions of Rumplestiltskin and Megara unfold

Prince Charming - tempplay by Hollywood Heidi - "Wasn't that the day when a spoiled brat relieved you of this beautiful ring without being asked,"David chuckled along with his wife, but then eased into a nostalgic grin as he remembered his mother's claim that this ring that had once been hers always led to true love. It had found its way to his true love and in so doing, it had also set off a course of events that had allowed Abigail, his former arranged intended, to reunite with her true love as well. "It was always destined to be yours," he said, turning her into a final spin as the song finished, then kissed the hand adorned with the ring as he bowed along with the other gentlemen on the floor whilst the ladies curtsied. David pulled Snow back in for another dance, the one they'd just finished having been too short since they'd joined near its end. "True love always finds a way," he said, smiling lovingly down at her. With that thought in mind, David's curiosity had him discreetly looking toward where he'd last seen his wife's friend as they moved with ease around the dance floor. Rose stood still amongst the dancing couples, seemingly lost in a daze. He followed her line of vision, seeing the source of her daze disappearing out of the room. "It seems Rose's mystery man has made a safe exit," he informed, his height allowing him to witness and provide an update in case his wife had any lingering concerns. Just as he was starting to wonder if they should assist Snow's friend out of a daze before others noticed it, another dancing couple had bumped into Rose, bringing her back to reality, a smitten expression on her face and she began to remove herself from the throng of spinning couples. David grinned again, knowing what it was like to find oneself swept up in the feeling. His amused expression melted into a warm, loving one when his gaze returned to his wife. "She's making her way back to the others with a grin that no doubt mirrors my own."

"True love always finds a way,"
"It does," Snow agreed with a loving smile of her own before she followed her husband's line of gaze. Her features saddened a bit at realizing her friend had been left alone, standing frozen as her true love disappeared out of the room.
"It seems Rose's mystery man has made a safe exit,"
Snow considered ending their dance for being there for Rose when, suddenly, another dancing couple bumped into her, making her remove from the spot she'd frozen to. Snow turned her attention back towards Charming, still with a rather worried expression on her features.
"She's making her way back to the others with a grin that no doubt mirrors my own."
Her eyes wandered back at Rose for another moment, seeing the grin, before she asked: "But do you think she'll be alright?" Slightly smiling herself, Snow added: "Given the fact that the others might not be your number one choice when you need emotional support."

“Well, if the Count has the means to visit other lands far from his home, I would think it foolish not to do so,” Megara observed, curious as to how any kingdom that produced such a character could be either dull or colorless. An attempted insult from Rumplestiltskin had drawn a more pointed reply from the other gentleman. To challenge the teacher by casting doubt on his pupil Regina, and Megara sensed that her companion would take it as a personal affront. Even though he had not seen firsthand the power that Dracula possessed.
“All those places to go, people to meet," Megara further mused. "You seem fortunate to have met a great deal of our aristocracy already, dear Count. Terribly dull, are they not? Except for our fair Aurora. There seems something different about her.”

"I see,""However, I do believe that Regina would surely benefit from some more training. When I encountered her, let's just say that she bent the knee rather easily."
While Dracula probably thought his words would anger him again, it only did so the sly grin on his face. The Dark One replied it with one of his own though, about to explain to the man that Regina had become a waste of his time with all this strong emotions of the past still inside her. Of course, she had not really been a waste of his time, but instead, an important token to fulfill his great plan in the end. But nobody was aware of that. It was his own companion then, however, who preempted both of them, Dracula from going into answering his former question, and himself from reacting to the Count's comment regarding Regina.
“Well, if the Count has the means to visit other lands far from his home, I would think it foolish not to do so,”“All those places to go, people to meet,""You seem fortunate to have met a great deal of our aristocracy already, dear Count. Terribly dull, are they not? Except for our fair Aurora. There seems something different about her.”
Fine. Shall they have their own conversation now, Rumple thought in slight annoyance but also actually fine with the fact, especially when he took notice of the princess having returned from the dance floor, looking quite absent-minded. A sly smirk formed around Rumplestiltskin's lips before he declared: "If you'll excuse me. I'm seeing an option to get into a much more interesting conversation."
And with that, the imp let the two of them be, walking over towards Princess Aurora instead. "Got a taste of what people call true love, dearie? Because that's exactly the look of it if you ask me," he said with the same sly smirk and even an almost touch on her nose tip, now much friendlier.

"If you'll excuse me. I'm seeing an option to get into a much more interesting conversation."
"Very well," Dracula interjected, with a slight nod of his head as he bid the imp farewell. He watched him scurry onward, in his own characteristic demeanor. He felt as if he was allowed to let a deep exhale of relief when Rumpelstiltskin left, leaving him in the company of Megara. His side eye panned from Rumpelstiltskin now in the nearby distance to his current conversing companion before mildly clearing his throat, "So, our arrangement? Shall you meet me there?" Dracula questioned in a confirming manner as he watched the imp converse with the Princess of the ball.

Prince Charming - tempplay by Hollywood Heidi - "But do you think she'll be alright?" "Given the fact that the others might not be your number one choice when you need emotional support.""We'll figure a way for you to share as private of a talk with her as possible." He scanned the crowded ballroom full of nosey patrons with ears straining for all the gossip they could gather and knew it wouldn't be easy. David had a feeling Snow's worry went beyond Rose's emotional support. He saw the worry his wife was feeling and the importance of it reflected just as equally on his own, not only for Rose's benefit, but because whatever was important to Snow, automatically became important to him. Smoothly exchanging their hands, he raised one of each of theirs and lowered their others in a framing motion as they stepped forward and back again while he gave his answer. "Rose has been travelling and exploring the world on her own for awhile," he began, based off what he'd heard from Snow and the gossiping that had gone around about the missing princess since her resurfacing along with heightened gossiping he'd picked up that this ball had produced. "And was eventually found in a tavern where she was leading a band of pirates in song?" he added in rhetorical disbelief. Spinning Snow in a slow circle that placed a hand back into hers and his other on her waist, David chucked softly at the image. "There's something about her, she has this..." he struggled to find the way to explain something that life experiences had shattered in himself and most people well before adulthood, "way of seeing good in everything and everyone that I supposed makes people want to protect that innocent view of the world from shattering." He looked thoughtful as he still was struggling to put his finger on it. "Or makes a person want to live up to what she's seeing in you?" David shook his head lightly, unable to work it out as he was looking for logic without knowing of the involvement of fairy magic. "Look," he angled his head slightly toward Rose and Rumplestiltskin who'd just joined her, "even 'The Dark One',' he playfully stressed the nickname for effect, "seems to like her, and I didn't think he was capable of liking anything."

"If you'll excuse me. I'm seeing an option to get into a much more interesting conversation."
"Very well. … So, our arrangement? Shall you meet me there?"
“Upon the next full moon, I shall await your arrival,” Megara agreed. "And as milord is occupied, I shall take my leave to sample some of the culinary delights on offer. I bid you good evening, dear Count," she offered, with a gracious curtsey. "Do give my regards to the queen and her handsome husband. I daresay she should have brought her bow, in case the party gets out of hand."

"Got a taste of what people call true love, dearie?
Rose pulled herself from her daydream to bring Rumple into focus, her besotted grin brightening even further toward someone she trusted as a friend as silent answer.
Because that's exactly the look of it if you ask me,"
His words and gesture pulled her from her daze. She had no qualms about allowing her feelings to show to a friend, but someone outside of that camp might be watching. With a couple of rapid blinks, Rose remembered herself and where she was, her besotted smile melting into a more neutral one that held a dash of worry. "Goodness, I'd quite forgotten myself. Do you think my father noticed?"
Rumple was angled more toward the raised platform where her father and his friend stood--she assumed that's what King George was as he'd remained beside his father for nearly the whole of the ball. But Rose was angled in a way that would make it obvious if she were to look... and see her father frowning slightly in suspicion in the general direction Phillip had disappeared in while King George scrutinized her with a peaking interest over the potentials she might bring him.

King Stefan - tempplay by Hollywood Heidi - Keeping a watchful eye over Princess Aurora, Stefan had indeed noticed. That ridiculous glow of love, the way they drew to each other and easily flowed as one, spoke of an existing history. He frowned as the masked man disappeared into the crowd, discreetly leaning toward his trusted knight. "Find out who that was," he instructed. Stefan glanced toward George to see him studying the princess with peaked interest, worry that the progress he'd made thus far might have been undone over the potential difficulty the frivolity of love could cause disappearing. Perhaps George didn't notice. Or perhaps, like himself, Stefan did not see emotions as having a place in forming unions to strengthen a kingdom. Timing on his side, the steward standing at attention at the bottom of the steps approached with yet another calling card and handed it to him. Stefan made a show of eying it and giving a nod of approval toward yet another young, titled gentleman, this one a prince who'd traveled from a distant kingdom, who awaited the King's blessing to call upon the Princess. The young prince gave a respectful bow, then turned away, presumably to seek out the princess for a dance. A respectable, revered kingdom, but the vast distance would be a detriment in providing the protection of his army in a timely fashion, should it be needed. Stefan placed the calling card atop the growing pile on a tray being held by a servant near them. "The offers will be rolling in as early as tomorrow," he said with proud confidence, conversationally relating to a fellow king with dealings of their offspring when in fact, he was playing on the high demand of the princess to light a fire under George.

"We'll figure a way for you to share as private of a talk with her as possible."
Snow gave a slight nod to that, more or less convinced, but most of all still worried, which she wasn't able to hide, not towards her husband at least. He would always be able to read her like an open book, the same as she'd be when it came to his own feelings. It was the eternal bond of theirs, of true love.
Anyways, when David resumed their dance, she would allow a slight smile to appear back on her face. How could she not when he was acting this way?
"Rose has been travelling and exploring the world on her own for awhile,""And was eventually found in a tavern where she was leading a band of pirates in song?"
Snow had to join in his chuckle. She had almost forgotten about that fact, just like she often forgot about her own badass past.
"There's something about her, she has this...""way of seeing good in everything and everyone that I supposed makes people want to protect that innocent view of the world from shattering.""Or makes a person want to live up to what she's seeing in you?"
She'd been able to guess what he was going to say before he had continued speaking, which had brought another smile to her face. Seeing good in everything and everyone definitely was Rose's most outstanding characteristic. "Well put, yes," Snow agreed, reinforcing him with a slight chuckle before she threw another look towards her friend who now seemed to be in company with someone she didn't really like seeing her with for emotional support. She frowned a bit at that image, unlike David who seemed to find it refreshing.
"Look,""even 'The Dark One',""seems to like her, and I didn't think he was capable of liking anything."
"I'd not be so sure about it when it comes to this creature's feelings and intentions, though," Snow reacted with more concern after all. "He's always looking for something to himself as we both know."

Rumple understood the fading of her smile as the action that it was, wariness towards eyes and ears their conversation wasn't meant for, namely her father's and King George's.
"Goodness, I'd quite forgotten myself. Do you think my father noticed?"
He didn't have to check to know that her father indeed had noticed and would try to observe them as well but especially the situation in general. They had to be careful. A rather casual glance made him realize someone else's attention then, a young man, obviously of royalty too, nearing them with the intention to ask the princess for a dance. But the Dark One would not let that happen while he had an interest in her himself, of a different kind of course. A dance, however, would be a good opportunity to have some more privacy.
"If you trust me, take my hand, dearie," Rumplestiltskin suddenly said in a whisper, already holding his out to hers in an implied bow, a rather formal smile around his lips. It was the same moment that her dance card magically spat out another name. Rumplestiltskin. The king might wonder, but surely not be able to overhear what they were talking about nor intervene even. First, the dance floor was too much of a crowded place by now, and second, King Stefan was one of the many people who more or less were in his debt. Dubious people tend to make dubious deals with dubious creatures, just like himself. The king knew what the Dark One was capable of.

Of course, the appearance, same as the disappearance of the masked man hadn't slipped the knight's attention either. He tried to maintain a neutral posture though, only slightly glancing towards the two kings to check their attention. They had noticed. And they saw a potential danger, which their eyes and tension told him. And if not their eyes, the following instruction would have.
"Find out who that was,"
Francis gave a nod to the instruction, still maintaining his own mask and his neutral face. He was well aware that the king didn't mean to have him go after the man right away but instead proceeded with the usual procedure of seeking information first. However, Francis sent a silent nod towards one of the guards standing close to the door, one that he could trust to be without access when it came to hunting someone down. But he had to show that he was taking action at least.
While the king was focused on the young man intending to ask his daughter for a dance, Francis turned his focus towards said daughter and her conversation partner. He had heard many stories about the Dark One, so he didn't like to see her in his company, grew even more worried when the sinister creature seemed to preempt the nearing young man and asked Rose for a dance himself. Would King Stefan allow that to happen? Francis turned his eyes slightly back to his side to check.

“Upon the next full moon, I shall await your arrival,” "And as milord is occupied, I shall take my leave to sample some of the culinary delights on offer. I bid you good evening, dear Count," "Do give my regards to the queen and her handsome husband. I daresay she should have brought her bow, in case the party gets out of hand."
Dracula let out a bow before Megara's presence, picking up one of her hands and placing a gentle peck on top before straightening upwards again, allowing her hand to fall back to her side, "Until we meet again, Megara." Dracula grinned as he took a step backwards to allow Megara her leave. Once gone, his attention was back on the party goers at hand. One or two side stragglers caught his attention as his hunger also grew for a sample of a morsel or two of the party delights. But he knew that he must remain on his best behavior - for now.

Prince Charming - tempplay by Hollywood Heidi - "I'd not be so sure about it when it comes to this creature's feelings and intentions, though," "He's always looking for something to himself as we both know.""True," he agreed in slight worry as the song came to a close. The cordial way he was toward Rose could all be an act. It was closer to his nature than him taking an actual liking to someone, but then again, given the types of people Rose had been able to befriend, could it be possible her warm, generous heart had managed to touch his cold, black one? Stranger things had happened. David placed his arm out to escort his wife from the dance floor but when she took his arm, he didn't move from his spot, instead standing with eyebrows raised in surprise when he noticed the Dark One giving Rose the invitational bow of a dance. He looked down at his wife, discreetly moving his eyes in the direction of what had captured his attention. "Perhaps a third dance?" he offered, 'to allow us to discreetly keep close' added without the words needed in the way their deep connection allowed them to communicate without the need for them at times.

"If you trust me, take my hand, dearie,"
Without hesitation, Rose placed her hand into his as she curtsied her response. She hadn't been sure if any of this had been his cup of tea, so she was pleasantly surprised when he'd asked her to dance.
As Rumple led her to the dance floor, Rose could hear murmurs spreading through the ballroom. Apparently, she hadn't been the only one to assume this wasn't his scene, or so she assumed that's what the murmurs had been about.
Wishing to ease any discomfort the crowds' reaction might be causing him--with the misassumption he cared what anyone thought at all--Rose turned up the warmth in her smile as she made it a point to look at the people she passed on their way, occasionally giving a nod of acknowledgement.
Following his lead with ease, Rose felt him stop, signaling they'd arrived at their starting position. She gracefully circled to face him, placing her other hand on his upper arm, waiting for him to take the lead on the steps as well as the conversation.

Snow didn't like to crush her husband's positive thinking, but she had learned that the Dark One wasn't to trust, no matter how lovely a person was. Little did she know about Belle and how she had changed this creature for at least a while.
She followed David's gaze upon the rather unusual scene of said Dark One, asking Rose for a dance. It was intriguing, but even more so was it ominous. It seemed that the married couple was sharing the same thought then.
"Perhaps a third dance?"
And Snow was very able to read the unspoken addition from his eyes, replying to it with a gaze that silently said 'you bet' before accepting his hand and the little twirl into another dance, towards Rose and Rumplestiltskin as close but also as unobtrusive as they could.
