"Mind if I cut in?" One of Arthur's men, Percival says, approaching Robin and Regina who were dancing happily along the floor.
"Not at all." Robin hesitates before responding. There was something strange about this guy, Robin just wasn't sure what.
Regina smiles and kisses Robin's cheek. "Don't worry, we can have plenty more dances after." She says to him then turns to Percival, taking his hand gently. Robin walks off the dance floor, standing to the side, never talking his eyes off Regina as Percival walks her further onto the floor.
Regina curtsies and Percival bows before they start their dance. One of his hands grab hers and the other holds her waist as they begin to waltz.
"Enjoying the ball so far, my queen?" Percival asks, his eyes intently watching Regina.
"Yes, I've had a lovely time so far. This kingdom is quite amazing." Regina replies kindly although when he calls her 'his queen' she thinks it's a bit odd.
"Yes it is. Maybe I could show you around here sometime?" The knight suggests, smirking at her.
"Yeah, maybe." She says, politely. She wasn't about to be spending time alone with this man, not when she had Robin.
Robin's eyes narrow upon this man who is dancing with Regina. He can't help but notice how his eyes roam her body every so often in a not so friendly manner.
"You know Regina you are very beautiful." Percival says and Regina smiles nervously. Was he flirting with her or just trying to be nice?
"Uh... thank you." Regina replies uneasily. Suddenly Percival 'accidentally' takes a wrong step causing Regina to fall into his arms. She didn't want to be this close to him but she simply had no choice unless she wanted to fall.
"My apologies, my queen. I seem to be a little out of practice." He says, but Regina knows it's just an excuse. Never the less, she wants to be polite even though she was getting a bit tired of this, when will this song end?
"It's alright." She sighs pulling away, yet he grabs her hips firmly pressing her against him.
Robin can't even believe his eyes. Percival had Regina in his arms, he could see she was uncomfortable. She shoots him a pleading look, wanting him to step in and help her. As he begins walking towards them he sees Percival's hands slowly moving low along Regina's back. Now Robin was nearly running towards Regina to free her from this awful nightmare of a dance. As soon as Robin reaches them he forcefully pushes Percival off of Regina catching both of them off guard as the knight falls to the floor.
"Get your filthy hands off my woman!" Robin yells, causing everyone in the room to stare at the scene he'd just caused.
"Robin it's ok-" Regina starts until she is cut off by Percival.
"See mate, the lady was enjoying it." He says smirking at Regina. Robin punches him hard in the jaw, knocking him back on the floor. Loud gasps are heard from everyone around them as Robin punches Percival once again in the face, knocking him out. He swings back again, fuelled by his anger but Regina grabs his arm.
"Robin, he's not worth it." She says and Robin's stands to face her. Regina links her arm with his and walks the both of them off the floor. They reach the hallway outside the ballroom and Robin immediately starts apologizing.
"Regina I'm sorry, he was just touching you and I saw you were uncomfortable-" Robin's words are cut off by Regina's mouth as she suddenly kisses him.
"What was that for?" Robin asks, "Not that I'm complaining." He adds smiling at her.
"It was a thank you." She replies, smiling back at him.
