End of Innocence

[Estelle Warland]

Estelle Styx never thought that she would be getting so dressed up for the occasion but, she might as well. Estelle smiled to herself at the thought of Noah asking her to be his date, and her agreeing without a second thought. There was definitely some attraction there, and she was going to follow it through. She might even have her first kiss with Noah while she was there. Who knows. Estelle made her way up the stairs and to the door, smiling as she saw her date. He was taller than she was, which she was thankful for. She didn't get the really tall genes like other women in her family. She looked at Noah, not concealing the fact that she was checking him out. "You look decent."

[Noah Warland]

Regardless on the state of Noah and Estelle's blossoming relationship, the Slytherin couldn't help but be terribly frightened that on a day as important as the Yule ball, he'd screw something up. He had been very careful when picking out a black suit hoping that it matched well enough what she was wearing. He'd even learned how to iron it - or rather his sister had ironed it - so that the legs would be straight with no creases or wrinkles. Once he felt he was appropriately dressed and styled he made his way to where Estelle and he were going to meet. Once she came into view, Noah couldn't help the smile that split his face, pearly whites gleaming at his date for the night. "You look stunning." He flattered her, always one to give as many compliments to an interest as possible. His eyes didn't roam to far, being a gentleman, as he offered her his arm. "Would you like some punch?" The young man asked with a grin.

Estelle's lips curled into a gentle smile, which seemed odd on her cold face. Noah always seemed to know what to say to make Estelle feel good about her appearance. She knew that she did not compare to her older sister, Elysia. She had her own beauty that had to shine, but she did not know how to get it out there yet. Her compliments were rather dry and it was disappointing on how she could not voice out what she thought. Instead, it came out through filters that toned everything down from extreme to very dull. Yet, her body language was everything but dull. Noah asked if she wanted some punch, to which she shook her head, "No. I think I want to dance." What she wanted to say was that she wanted to feel what it was like to be close to Noah, but came out much more dignified.

The slope of Estelle's lips into a gorgous smile on her face made Noah's heart flutter, and the romantic teen couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her cheek. "Seriously, so stunning." He made sure to let her know, being a proper gentleman the whole time. When she spoke about wanting to dance he grabbed a gentle hold on her hand and led her to the dance floor, making sure to be aware of how she'd move in her shoes. Once they reached the middle, wanting her to be center of attention, he turned to face her and gave a gentle smile. Guiding her hands to his shoulder, he put his on her waist, and not an inch lower. "As long as we are dancing slow there shouldn't be an issue. I'm not any good otherwise." He spoke, making sure every word was thought out so he sounded intelligent.
