Dance II • With Azucena
Cassian couldn’t help but be amused by Lady Azucena’s playful banter. “Ah, a lady who knows what she wants,” he replied with a playful twinkle in his eye. “I must say, that’s a trait I greatly admire.”
He chuckled at her remark about him being a gentleman and saving her. “Well, my lady, I must admit that saving damsels in distress is one of my specialties,” he said with a teasing glint in his eyes “Not to mention I am a firm believer in seizing opportunities when they present themselves" he added with a charming smile. Cassian had encountered many women of society, but there was something refreshing about Azucena’s candidness. Although it did remind him of someone he once knew.
As she teased him about his title, Cassian couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, Azucena,” he said, savoring the way her name rolled off his tongue. “You’re right; my accent may not be as exotic as yours, but I promise you, there’s a charm to my mother region as well.”
He watched as she playfully tossed her hair, and he couldn’t deny the appeal of her carefree spirit.
“But I must admit, with all due respect for your homeland, your presence here adds a much more enchanting touch to this evening.”
Her teasing about the dance partners made him smile, and he played along. "Oh, I see. Quite a busy dance card you have there…” he teasingly remarked, pretending to ponder the situation.
Her eventual agreement to dance with him brought a pleased smile to his face. “Well, I consider myself lucky to secure a spot on your card, Lady Azucena. I am genuinely looking forward to it.” He said, offering his arm. “Shall we, my lady, or are you worried about another chance encounter with the floor?” He teased with a playful glint in his eye, playfully recalling their chance encounter from just moments ago.
