You turn around and see a somewhat familiar brown-haired woman wearing a blue dress.
"My name is Eleri," she says as she curtseys. "Eleri Lloyd."
That would explain why she looks so familiar. This must be the one-time dance partner you met at that masked ball you attended some time ago.
Olwen snickers and gives you a push in her direction. "You should dance with your friend," she says. "It'll make Myrddin happy."
You bite back your reply and hold out your hand for Eleri, who gladly takes it.
"Shall we dance?"

We must be really impressing this girl since we can keep up.

I get the feeling Meirion would have been a major playboy if not for the fact that he is busy keeping the kingdom together 24/7.
Julian Murphy
Myrddin agrees with you.
Elijah Young
He's a classic example of someone married to his work. I wonder if he's still a virgin...

Eleri's form is, once again, impeccable. Her weight doesn't put any strain on you, she carefully adjust hers hips to maintain your balance, and she smoothly follows her lead. Her smile doesn't waver in the least as you move across the dance floor.
"I thought you looked familiar," she says. "I wasn't sure if I'd ever have the chance to dance with you again."
"Isn't it rude to pry about masked balls?" You ask.
"I'm sorry. I'm just sentimental about the Rose Garden Waltz. My parents met when they were practicing it, so…"
She suddenly blushes and averts her eyes. You very deliberately avoid further prying and focus on your steps.
The songs and you walk Eleri off the floor. The fact that she's helping you steady your aching legs is just an added bonus.
"You could be a professional, you know," she says. "You certainly have the talent."
"Unfortunately, I have more pressing responsibilities," you say. "Although if I did dance professionally, I assume the whole thing would turn into a disaster for me somehow."
"Ah." Eleri sounds genuinely disappointed. "I suppose dancing isn't a very respectable profession for most people."
