"That His Majesty can rely and depend on,"Jasper mumbled into his cup,"And yourself...what brings you to court?"

looks around still holding my drink my father sent for me recently he wanted me to join him at court and learn more about court life feeling ebarrased at this questions as there are still few people who deny me as his daughter.

"And do you like courtly life so far...or do you prefer the country?"Jasper asked as his blues eyes penetrated hers.

as he looks me in the eyes i prefer court life there are few people i have come really good friends with as i smile

"Good...well I hope court brings you a great deal of pleasure,"Jasper said with a smile as he lounged into his chair and sipped on his ale.

Jasper scoffed,"No I am not married...and I assume you must have some formal engagement planned?"

well there are pleanty of girls at court that may like you smiles to him no i do not have any engagement of that i know off as he asks me lancelot comes to my mind and how much trouble we would be in

Jasper laughed and tugged on his shirt to smooth out the creases,"Well I should hope so."

He then glanced outside and noticed the sky was the darkest of black,"Forgive me but it is getting rather late, I should return to my chambers. Perhaps I'll see you again,"he continued as he stood up,"It has been a pleasure...and thank you for the food...and ale."

Bess followed Lady Anne all around the room but her atention was put on Norfolk, her beloved Duke. She couldn't stand his wife, that heavy boring woman who didn't know a thing about love or having fun, she never made her Thomas enjoy life but Bess always was trying to make him feel and enjoy life as he deserves.
She looks at him all the time and winks discretely and innocentely, she bites her lips seductively and walks following Anne wherever she goes.
In a moment a happy music starts to sound and she hears a soft powerful voice and feels strong hands on her shoulders, he's finally near her and she's completely happy now, she turns to him biting her own lips and smiles sweetly and mischievously I am great now my man has left the witch and came to my arms she softly caresses his chest and her body is very close to his, softly whispering on his ear My favourite moment will be when we'll leave this party and go to our bedroom, but meanwhile we have to be here I could be better, why don't we dance my divine Duke? so we can show everybody how big our love is and who you belong to.
She caresses her own skin under her neck showing him how much she needs and desires him, she loves him and won't allow that stupid woman to mess up his life, he's her man and she will fight for him.

He smiled enchanted and whispered back, his head close to hers.
I can hardly wait for your favorite moment which happens to be mine, too. Meanwhile, let's dance the stars out of heaven! He winked and quickly kissed the tip of her nose.

He glanced at Anne, who was talking animated and he nodded to her.
I borrow your assistent for a moment, dear niece.
He led Bess to the dancefloor and they began to dance, their right hands together while they spinned around eachother. He did not move his eyes from hers and every time they had to step backwards he kissed her hand before letting go and as they came close again, he kissed it again before turning her around.

mmmm my beloved, do you think we can make stars go out of Heaven? mmm I guess for that we have to be in our bedroom anyway She smiles seductively, with her fingertip caresses the line of his chin, looks at Lady Anne and nods smiling teasingly.
holding his hand tightely walks to the place he leads her and the music sounds louder. She looks deeply into his eyes and doesn't apart her eyes from his. Makes her movements slow and seductively. He kisses her hand and she only smiles more and more, in each momevent sticking her body more to his, she loves showing everyone she's his woman.
As the dance finishes she cuddles against him again and whispers on his ear You take my breath away my Duke, I only can think about our favourite moment, I could make it start right here and right now, and that would be our perfect way of celebrating Christmas Smiles softly and bites her lip sticking her hips to his let's have some wine my love, I am 'thirsty' in that last word she uses a naughty sensual voice.

I walked through the dancers, weaving between them carefully, my silver gown trailing a little behind as I clutched a goblet of wine.
A galliard was not my most favourite of dances-too...jumpy. I favoured a volta which allowed one to at least glance at their partner without being shot into the air by some stranger. So I happily stayed away and sipped the wine...which was rather delicious.

walking in and watches from the shadows

Thomas enter the Christmas Party.He saw that Norfolk dance.
He take a gulp of wine and watch if he can see his beautiful daughter and his future Queen.

Thomas saw Anne in talk with Nan Savill.
He went through the hall to both.

Thomas Howard wrote:

Norfolk picked up his goblet and took some huge gulps. He did not pay attention to the More's soft conversation and also neglected his wife. He stared at Bess as a lion to his prey, watching all her movements while she followed Lady Anne everywhere she went, glancing at him over her shoulder with her seductive eyes and swaying her hips.

As Anne was moving through the room and he almost could not see Bess anymore he could no longer bear. He murmured an excuse and made his way through the crowd, untill he stood right behind her.
Are you having a good time? he whispered in Bess' ear, enjoying her intoxicating perfume.

Elizabeth growled. She hated him. Oh, she hated him, she hated him so much. How dare he up and, leave her! How dare he! Elizabeth had enough. She picked up her wine, and sipped it. She'd deal with him later.

Thomas saw that Norfolks wife is angry when he went through the hall.
Thomas can not understand why Norfolk his wife so humble.
He will not intervene in this marriage.He needs Norfolk when he will have
a better position at court.He went along through the hall to Anne.
