[005 Video] Dancing in the Queen's rooms

[marriedforlove]

[Katherine is smiling, and clearly in her element. The light renaissance music in the background calls forth thoughts of home and while the thoughts bring with them longing for her husband and son and companions, it is at least a pleasant diversion.]While we have appropriate music, I wish to have dancing in my rooms. My invitation is extended

You're actually enjoying this, aren't you?

[marriedforlove]

I am. My musicians are not here; it is comforting to hear the music as if they are.

[He almost wants to laugh, because this is the most ridiculous thing ever.]

Of course it is.

[marriedforlove]

[Being comforted by reminders of home is not ridiculous.]

Do you intend to attend?

Won't your music be disturbed by the... less appropriate music that some people have been saddled with?

[Luckily for Sango, while she'd been saddled with one of those "less appropriate songs" for the first half of the week, the tune following her is now a simple, wordless melody that seems more haunting than it should be.]

Each couple will have their own song to dance to.

[coraltaijiya]

Couples.

[She hesitates, then inquires:] How do you manage that?

[video]

[marriedforlove]

I but speak in jest; the Animus have each given us music already.

Both Tybalt and I will happily accept your invitation, Your Majesty. Dancing is something we both particularly enjoy, and we are honored that you have thought to include us.

[Dancing without the pressure of courtship! Juliet is looking forward to this.]

It should be a pleasant time for all. Has he agreed?

[Katherine is beyond courtship anyway; she takes her pleasures by watching her ladies falling in love, and knowing she has the love of her husband.]

[capuletnomore]

I cannot imagine dancing as unpleasant, especially here.

[She grins.]

He has. A lady must have an escort, after all. And he truly does enjoy such things. He had a grand time at the masked ball back home. [At least until he realized it was Romeo spending too much time with his cousin and pulled a dagger on the man.]

[Honestly, the young men of the court need to learn when to let their tempers go and when to hold it in.]

The music may indeed be distracting, if there are many tunes at once, but we will make shift to make do.

Mind your tongue. [This is said closer to the tone of a disapproving parent than an angered queen. She moves on after the quick reproach.]

I find it pleasant, but, of course, fashions differ as the years go by.

[He's got her there, of course; this isn't the music she'd find if she went to a country fair or a lowborn commoner's house.]

It is the music of home, for me.

[neverquitedies]

Do I count?

[marriedforlove]

The kind priest from before. Most certainly you are welcome.

Also I got your Easter message waaaay too late D8 I'm sorry!

[neverquitedies]

It might be nice.

[Smiling kindly.]

But wouldn't all of the music clash?

no worries! <3

[marriedforlove]

Perhaps so. Perhaps some shall recede. Perhaps each couple shall carry their own music only with them.
