“But, alas, Aldric does not seem to understand sarcasm.”
Rowenna laughed, as much at his words as his expression.

They separated and danced in the wide arc. She had not had so much fun in longer than she could remember. She did not realize that her smile was brighter and bigger than anyone elses' in the room, and onlookers were noticing.
Suddenly it occurred to her, her smile lessening, that she had meant to give him a piece of her mind about goading Aldric, that she had been very angry. Was he telling her the truth?
They were dancing across from each other again, matching each others' moves again, but she was watching him through narrowed eyes, her smile closed and doubting. Then it was their turn and they closed the gap, linked arms, and marched again between the others. She did not speak, not sure whether to accuse or tease him.
