Vulture, Vulture -- Of Monsters and Men

And I had a vision of pillars of sand It's keeping me up, keeping me up And I bend Break me in two so we can both dance We'll figure it out, figure it out Hand in hand

The Elfhame Chronicles...

there's something wretched about this something so precious about this where to begin?

“Would you care to dance?” Everyone wanted a show? They might as well put one on.

“You’re not planning on getting us in trouble, are you?” he asked as he held out his hand for her and pulled her onto the dance floor, his other hand going to her waist.

“Trouble? I would never plan for trouble. I only wish to show off a little bit, my prince. Do you consider that getting us into trouble?"

“That depends on how much showing off we are doing, my lady.” 

“Just enough that others are made jealous of us.”

“I see,” Thistle replied, amused and fond. “Try not to get dizzy."

Perhaps these things should not be, but Thistle didn’t mind. Falling in love in the High Court of Elfhame was a dangerous game, but no more dangerous than anything else one did amongst the fae. 

“The trick is to focus on one still point as you spin. I think I’ll focus on you.”

”Good choice,” Thistle murmured.

“I thought so.” She felt safe trying to figure him out and it just pulled her in further. A dangerous thing as she was drawn into his space. Closer and closer.

“Would this create too much trouble for you?” Wendy questioned her eyes flicking down to his lips briefly.

“Not nearly enough,” he told her quietly. To him, in that moment, she was worth all that trouble and more. He dipped her backwards in the middle of the dance floor and kissed her.
