dance two: albina northwick
Atlas was a bit surprised by her answer. Could Albina possibly understand the weight that he had to bear for his family? Atlas viewed women differently compared to other men, who believe women are just someone they will marry to take care of the house and bear children. No, he was aware that women could accomplish the same things men could, and he never found that to be intimidating. “Hm, perhaps we do share a common burden, my lady, but I hope not to offend you when I say I would rather not take on the role of a lady, especially not in this society.” He said with a small chuckle, “As for your next question, well, my answer will have to be that you have left me without words, as I too do not know the answer to it.”
Atlas had to admit that he was not hating his time with Lady Albina, but as he heard her answer about coming here with an open heart, he felt guilt, for he believed that he was only wasting her time. He had come just for the sake of his family, and he, unlike her, did not come with expectations of finding love tonight. He gave her a small smile before clearing his throat to answer her, “You must forgive me; unlike you, I do not have any intentions to find love tonight. I feel rather guilty even now, as I am thinking that I may be stirring you away from your potential lover.” He said, though he did wonder, and soon felt the need to ask her, “What sort of gentleman are you seeking tonight?”
