[Gwen Goodwin]

Open after Akihiro

Gwen had been honored when Akihiro asked her to the Halloween Feast. She wasn't sure if she wanted to commit and date him quite yet, but it was nice to go to these events with a date. She hummed softly to herself as she waited for him to appear, checking her appearance in the mirror she had in her handbag. Gwen was pretty proud of her costume, she looked like a real princess. She had told Akihiro what she would be dressing as and she really hoped he had put on something to match her, she wanted to make a splash together. She waited near the entrance of the Great Hall, a smile on her face as she waved at a few passing classmates.

 

[Akihiro Chen]

Akihiro was running a little bit late. It had taken him longer to do his hair than he had thought. He hurried up to the feast, hoping Gwen hadn't waited too long. He'd brought her a pale rose, just the flower. Akihiro had tried to match her aesthetic, and hoped she liked his little twist. He jogged up to her with a carefully crafted bashful smile. "Forgive me for being late, dear princess," He gave her a graceful bow. "But perhaps a dark prince might ensnare you for an evening?" He straightened, and offered out his hand, the other still folded behind him.

 

[Gwen Goodwin]

Gwen was a little frustrated when Akihiro didn't show up quickly. Though she supposed a fashionably late entrance wouldn't be terrible. It was just frustrating that other students would have seen her wait. But as he arrived in his costume, Gwen immediately forgot most of her annoyance. He looked perfect. She smiled and made a show of hesitating for a moment before giving him her hand. "Very well, I suppose you may escort me." She said playfully. "What exactly makes you dark?" She added with a slight raise of her eyebrows.

 

[Akihiro Chen]

Akihiro smiled, straightening and trying to lead her into the hall. "It's Halloween," He told her with a coy grin. "Whats better for Halloween than a dark, lost prince trying to corrupt the sweet, innocent princess?" He brought her hand up and pressed a soft kiss to the back of it. "Quite the fairy tale, don't you think?"

 

[Gwen Goodwin]

Gwen let Akihiro lead her, a slightly amused smile on her face. She raised her eyebrows a little at his description. "I still don't have an answer." She said, laughing softly at how he kissed her hand. He was so silly, though he often seemed to take things very seriously. "What makes you dark?" She asked, tilting her head a bit. "What is it you do that's so evil?"

 

[Akihiro Chen]

Akihiro chuckled, offering her his arm. "Trying to corrupt the princess isn't enough?" He asked cheekily. "I did make you wait, I suppose. And I am devilishly handsome." He grinned. "And I mean to keep you to myself tonight, at least. Does that count?" He teased her with a coy smile.

 

[Gwen Goodwin]

Gwen flashed a grin at Akihiro's words, shaking her head slightly. "Only if the princess is really as sweet and innocent as you think." She teased back. As he said he was devilishly handsome, Gwen giggled. "I suppose you're passable." She teased. "Well, what are we going to do then, oh so dark and handsome prince?"

 

[Akihiro Chen]

Akihiro chuckled, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Unfortunately this isn't the place for a dance. How about a tour of the hall that ends at the snack table?" He offers. "See what the night has to offer then have a drink while we discuss whats worthwhile."
