RP: Choosing Ceremony
Characters: Everybody
Date: 13. February, 2006
Setting: The pavilion at Villa Lotus
Summary: The Final Ceremony
Warnings: TBD

Lee stepped forward, his smile properly secretive and his gaze just hazy enough for the cameras to pick. “It’s been six weeks,” he started, then let the façade drop, as per the manuscript, as he addressed the contestants. “Six weeks! Can you believe it?” Before he fell back into the role of the host. “It’s been six weeks since we opened the villas to you, and in those six weeks, we have watched all sorts of different relationships blossom, from the simplest of friendships to… dare I say it? True love. For this very reason, tonight’s choosing ceremony will be slightly different. Witches, if you’d please?”

He gestured for them to move up to where they had been during the previous choosing ceremonies.

After a beat, Lee continued, "Ladies, tonight you need not give a rose unless you give your heart with it. If you'd like to walk into the sunset - so to speak - with a wizard of your choosing, ask him to accept your rose. If you feel you haven't made that perfect love connection here in paradise, feel free to say so. And of course, if you'd like, you're always welcome to come back next time."

He took a breath and called Romilda foward, handing her a rose, and said, "Remember, the choice is entirely yours."

She watched him celebrate with a faintly confused feeling, and one of quiet, genuine flattery that he seemed to really actually be happy she'd chosen him. He was such a puzzle to her, especially as she'd never really had anyone who openly desired her presence. Not even her closest friends did, though she knew in their hearts they felt it. Her thoughts were thrown completely askew when he bounded forwarded and kissed her with no warning, but one hand gripped his shirt and she leaned up into the kiss with a surprising amount of passion hiding under her normally impassive exterior.

As quickly as it peeked out, she tucked it back in to its private place, and she smiled back at him. Her family would flip its collective self over, but Millicent found herself oddly not caring - or perhaps anticipating it a bit. Travelling with a man! A Hufflepuff, at that! Scandalous! She could just hear her grandfather cackle in glee. She was starting to see where his enjoyment stemmed from.

"That sounds brilliant," she told him. Perhaps they'd kill each other, or want to; perhaps they'd fall in love. Perhaps a bit of both. The prospect of the latter was tantalizing. She loved to travel, and a companion for once would be very nice indeed.

Cináed’s eyebrows shot up; though he was convinced it was only on the surface, Millicent had always been the perfectly composed woman, who didn’t give into immediate whims or sudden desires. So to feel her hand gripping his shirt was a surprise… a brilliant surprise, and it only had his smile brighten when he pulled back and was looking at her.

His cheeks felt like they were about to burst from smiling, so when she said that she’d go with him, he just nodded and threaded his fingers with hers. “Perfect,” he said, still nodding as he raised their joined hands and kissed her knuckles without taking his eyes off hers. “It’ll be brilliant.”

His smile was brilliant and she couldn't help but smile a little more brightly herself at the sight of it. And his gaze was oddly compelling, making her want to shiver. "Most assuredly," she murmured with a hint of warmth, and when they moved back a bit, she squeezed his fingers for a moment and tucked herself closer to him than had been her norm thus far, at least of her own first move. A big thing? Probably not, on the whole, at least to most, who might not even notice. But she could be incredibly subtle and it was all about the little moves on her end, usually, though she also had her moments.
