Eric's eyes locked with hers and he concentrated on not stepping on her feet. He tried to recall whatever he learned in those few short 'court life' instructions he took. He'd pent only a total of four or five hours learning to dance, most of all of his time had been dedicated to swordsmanship. It was funny, Randall had groomed him to be a soldier, and a sort of commander. But mostly a soldier. Someone who could lead a heavy attack to break lines, or to train others, but now, here he was. A Lord, dancing with his Lady-wife in his castle. The castle Randall gave up willingly. 

Why would he just walk away from it?

They danced easily, considering he claimed to have no experience in it. He was intuitive and she was good at making others look good at what they were doing. It's how they both had gotten so far. But she couldn't help but notice the look in his eye, and she could practically see his mind drifting behind it. 

"What's on your mind, My Lord?" She asked, her voice dipping a bit as she used the title he'd probably never get used to. "Overwhelmed?"
June
He nodded his head, "A little bit, my lady." He said, quietly back. "Just reflecting. On everything, figuring out how a couple years ago I was a squire, and now a lord. It's just all crazy." The dance zontinued, everything felt so right. There was laughter and warmth. He had never felt more relaxed or at peace.

She gave a small nod of understanding. "Well, Lord Vignola is here to stay. He'll be joining you here in Stormalong -along with his wife and son- for the time being until you feel comfortable in your position." She stepped forward, into him, and placed her hand on his chest. "There's a learning curve, everyone goes through it. Try to take it one task at a time, you'll find it's not as overwhelming as you think. If you can lead armies, you can lead Stormalong." She told him confidently, and gave him a smile.

He wrapped his arms around her lower back, "I suppose, _we_ will figure it out. You're my lady, you will have as much authority as I will on everything. No one in this castle outranks you. No one." He said, turning a little serious. Once he truly began his rule, he would ensure his court understood that no one will disobey an order from Angelica. She and him were one body of government. IF she said something, it would be done.

The blonde gave a soft laugh, and her smile turned into a smirk. "Darling you do _not_ want to give that kind of authority to a pregnant women. Next thing you know breakfast will be steak and potatoes, every hearth will be burning and every window open, and everyone will make me cry just by looking at me." She warned, a little playful but a little serious.
June
"Then, let it be, love. You'll have steak, potatoes, and your strange cold-hot mixture." He said, returning a quiet chuckle.
