Giggling she squirmed in his arms as he tickle assaulted her. "Okay okay I'll stop. You're with me because I'm pretty and fun. Not because of what I have or who I am." Or something like that. She knew ivan wasn't as shallow as he looked. Hahaha. But she kept that scathing remark to herself.
She sat for a moment seeming to think before she burst out laughing. "Yes I can properly dance, Ivan. I had to suffer ballroom classes and the lot. I had to do society events and galas." She gavr a littlw snortle as she wiped at her eyes. Too funny.
"I can't wait to meet your family. I'll introduce you to some of mine soon enough. Not my parents, though. I'm freezing them out at the moment. Aunts and Uncles definitely. Oh... I forgot to mention I am supposed to take my little cousin and his boyfriend on an adventure this summer. I promised... would you like to go with us? We'll be traveling. They're really good kids though. Not at all annoying."
Well wasn't that true enough. He remembered how many times his own mum wished he'd be more like Miles and smiled, "I wouldn't want you to be anything other than yourself." He looked at her as she said she loved him with that huge smile and matched it with his own smile. He could honestly say he hadn't been this happy in a long time and that frankly terrified but also pleased him. Everyone deserved a little happiness right?
He stopped tickling her when she gave in and laughed, "Precisely. And you're with me because I'm devilishly good looking and just plain awesome in all aspects." He gave her a wink and pushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
Then she was laughing...what it had been a serious enough question after all. Miles had two left feet when it came to dancing and he was pretty sure if Fia didn't hold him up he'd just trip over himself every time. Now there was an amusing image. "Alright...prove it to me." He eased her off of his lap and stood up. Offering her a bow he held his hand out to her with a smile.
"I'd love to meet your family." Wasn't that a big step. Well for him it was maybe not for her. "About that..." he said shifting his feet. "I'm leaving the military." He hadn't exactly told Gregor that but he intended to. "Thought I should tell you before I did it. They offered me a promotion but...seems my priorities have changed a bit." He looked at her and smiled, "So yes, I'd love to travel with you all." And Gregor was going to be maaaaaaaaaad. Maybe he could offer up some treat before he gave the bad news.
