Congratulations, Arthur.

[She may have voted for you. NOT THAT SHE'LL EVER TELL HIM.]

[rule_britannia]

Erm. Thank you.

[THAT'S OKAY HE MIGHT HAVE VOTED FOR YOU TOO.]

I have to say it's rather unexpected.

[seeringlight]

You think so? I always thought you were a tad more popular than you thought you were. It seems I am right, given the turn of events we are witnessing.

[But why. She was happy not being elected. So happy.]

[rule_britannia]

Apparently I am. It's.. quite a surprise.

[And embarrassing. Very embarrassing. He smiles wryly.]

You know, you might have warned me.

[seeringlight]

[She chuckles lightly.] Must have slipped the mind with a much more important agenda. We are busy people after all.

[rule_britannia]

The busiest.

[He shoots her a wry smile.]

Could I tempt you into a dance?

[seeringlight]

Of course. I would very much love a dance. Sweep me off my feet. [She gives him a polite little curtsy.]

[rule_britannia]

With pleasure.

[He bows, then takes her hand, leading her out onto the dancefloor.]

Do you have a preference in style?

[seeringlight]

I don't have much preference. I find most formal dancing to be fun when done right, and I do very much trust your abilities.

[She lets him lead her. After all, the male are supposed to lead.]
