The night was winding down and as it did Leopold performed a few more dances with the last of his partners. He had danced with Mikayla, Nix, Breeze, Sparrow, and was now dancing with Lilia. Soon he would dance with Cinder and it would all finally be over.

Smiling at the female dragonman in front of him, he chatted with Lilia. "So, how has your night been, miss?"

Lilia blushed. "O-Okay I guess... It's been fun to spend a free night with you and some of my gone friends."

Leopold nodded. "Makes sense. Student council work is a bit difficult, so it must be nice to get out of the chaos of it all for a minute." 

"Y-Yeah..." Lilia agreed. "It is..." Leopold had noticed the change over a head heat Lilia's personality that astonished him. When they first met, she seemed diplomatic and as a sort of leader, but a bit discriminatory toward lower class people. Then, she turned into a hot head around her brother and showed brute force in the beginning of the tournament that scared Leopold even for a mere moment. But after he confronted her and she was defeated, she changed into this sweet and caring individual that made her just as perfect as all the other girls who were for some UNKNOWN REASON fawning over Leopold.

"It's nice to see a good change of heart in a woman. Someone like her doesn't need to be so strong willed and stuck up all the time."  Leopold thought to himself.

"S-So, are you having fun?" Lilia asked him.

Leopold smiled and nodded. "Why yes I am. School has never been my thing, but getting out like this is something I'm pretty good at." He laughed and looked at her head. "I see that your liking your new accessory so far..."

Lilia nodded. "The tiara you got me is nice. I'll make sure to treasure it always!"

Leopold smiled. "Well thank you. And I'll make sure to treasure this moment with you, Miss Lilia."

Lilia blushed and turned her face away from Leopold. "You know, you can just call me Lilia if you'd like. It's not like I'm of all that much higher place than you..."

Leopold nodded. "If that is what you'd like then I will oblige. But I would ask that for equal purposes that just call me Leo then."

Lilia grinned and agree to his request. "That would be most welcomed, Leo..." As the two finished their chat, the song ended and the couples on the floor walked off. "Well I'm going to go and find the other girls. Have fun with Cinder!"

"That will be tough..." Leopold joked. "But I'll try my best." He smiled and watches as Lilia strolled off. "Well now I only have one to go... Please don't be a pain, Miss Cinder..."  He sighed to himself. It wasn't like he hated  Cinder necessarily... She was just the most stupid pain the ass that he has ever met. "Well I have to do this at some point anyway. Here goes nothing!"

Walking over to where Cinder was standing, Leopold braced himself for the worst. She seemed to be muttering to herself while fidgeting with the silver crown Leopold had gifted. When she noticed Leopold coming over, she frowned.  "And what are you doing over here, stupid?"

"Trying to avoid your damn comments..."  Leopold thought to himself. "Oh just walking around. I actually just finished my dance with Lilia and was thinking about how the night had gone so far."

Cinder nodded. "This sure has been an arousing experience..."

"And just what do you mean by that?!"  Leopold let out a small chuckle. "It sure has. By the way, what have you been doing all night if I may ask. I haven't seem much of you as of late."

Cinder frowned and looked over to her side at something Leopold couldn't see. "Oh just standing around. Nothing much. Speaking of which, why are you over here anyway?" She pointed at him and narrowed her eyes. "Aren't you supposed to be flirting with all the girls here, mister?"
