Mikel spent time watching the others after he arrived. At first for the sake of vigilance, but soon he spent more and more time watching all the pretty women. He enjoyed seeing how they dressed and watching them move.
It was not long before he saw Ysilla. He had not seen her since his near death, and it was only thanks to her ensuring he received milk of the poppy that he had been able to continue on as well he had.
Waiting for a moment when she was not occupied with another Mikel made his way to her and extended his hand. "Would you honor me with a dance, Lady Ysilla?"

"Only if ser will not complain about aching legs in the morning" Ysilla smiles wickedly, she was having way too much fun by the looks of it. "Because this slow and careful thing that all these others do..well, I only slow down to a pace where a knight can only just keep up, haven't found one yet that can match my best, you wouldn't know of any, would you, ser?"

"Well I wasn't going to say anything but when I decided to ask you to dance I was worried about having to slow down for you!" His challenge was bold, yet hollow. He was a terrible dancer and when things sped up she'd know so in just a few heartbeats worth of time. He only hoped to stay on his feet and off of her own.
"May I say how lovely you look? It's true, simply radiant!" Smiling at her she would see the compliment genuine, yet paving the way for whatever he said next. "And even though I was knocked from my horse, I hope you still might looking forward to seeing me with your favor in the melee?"
From his previous conversations with her he knew it best kept light, and even better with a hint of scandal.
"In fact, I daresay you may be even more pleased of it if you knew how I have begun to spend all this free time I have now."
He tried to look mischevious, but the dance was already accelerating and he probably just looked a little nervous.

"Flattery will not make me go easy on you, ser, you tossed down the gauntlet and I accept the challenge"

[OOC: I took the frustration points just to put in a tad more intrigue practice. I have no illusions of how this is going to end! Going to come up with a yield offer then post it after another team Starkwood conference. ]
Mikel hung in better then he expected, but considering how low his expectations were that wasn't saying anything. As the song began to slow he spoke, "Well, I think we both know I was only so off balance because I was trying to keep you from falling over your own feet the entire time! But do not fret I won't be telling anybody how I saved you from an embarrassing tumble."
After a moments pause he recanted with a playful smile. "I should tell you something. There is a possibility - a very small possibility - that I exaggerated my ability to dance. You probably hadn't noticed but it might have actually been me falling over my own feet and then nearly causing you to spill with me as I sought, desperately, to keep my balance. After all being skewered by blades of grass would undoubtedly destroy my reputation as a martial man."

[OOC: Yield offer - Mikel gains +1 disposition from Ysilla and gets to continue wearing her favor, Ysilla gains +2 disposition from Mikel and +1d on next intrigue]

"You need not worry, I would catch you." Ysilla gleefully states as if she means it, maybe she actually would be able to, most ladies would not. Granted, that wouldn't do much good to his reputation either.
Hmm, she doesn't need that +1D to trounce you, so she'll be preferring +3 disposition for +1 disposition.

Mikel smiles at the thought of her catching him. "I cannot think of a better place to land then your arms, Lady. Maybe I can make up for the upset of my poorly trained footwork with a tale of intent, best kept between us? Else it could lead to be big, nay, fat scandal."
[ooc: Yield sounds good! He's got one thing to ask her then Mikel will be good with the scene apart from small talk]

"A secret is it? I like collecting secrets, maybe not so good at keeping them."

"Well perhaps that will be for the better in this case. Lard Merryweather -" He smiles, pleased with himself at the pun. "did something horrid and it haunts me that somebody so slow as he might outrun justice. I cannot imagine all that you've been up to, but wondered perhaps if you heard anything which might be used to help justice along? Even so much as the name of a man on duty when the poor girl was brought in."
After he asks Mikel hopes Ysilla was too distracted by the conversation to have noticed that Mikel was having trouble taking his eyes off her.

"And if that man has family back at Longtable, woe on him if he turns on the hand that feeds them." She grimaces, clearly not fond of the pig. "The only way to give him what he deserves is to jump down into the dirty mud right along with him, you're nice, I want you to stay that way"

After considering her words he nods. "Then I want to stay nice, too." With that he left the conversation behind and danced as best he could - not very good - but enjoyed his time with Ysilla before they each switched partners.
[OOC- Good for end of scene on my end, if you are.] |
