It's Just a Matter of Time [Narcissa]

That was most definitely a response worth accepting. In some forms, it was perhaps even the one she had wanted, which was enough to make Narcissa's gaze lift again and meet Lucius' full on. She said nothing in response to his words, however, though when he glanced around she took the time to do so as well. Apparently lunch had slipped by a lot faster then she had thought. This earned a soft little noise from the back of her throat, though before she could stand, her fiance` was around the table, offering her his hand once again. Her eyes studied the appendage, though no where near as long as she had done earlier when he offered his arm to her.

A smile touched her features again and she reach out, accepting the assistance to her feet. With a nod of her head and the softening of her voice to a more appropriate level, she replied with a simple, "Yes please." before allowing him to lead the way towards her next class.

After she accepted his hand and stood, Lucius placed Narcissa's hand gently on his elbow and began walking towards the doors. Once in the entrance hall, Lucius subtly let Narcissa choose their direction while he checked his pocket watch to see exactly how much time they had. Seeing the had less than ten minutes, and considering the largeness of the castle, Lucius knew almost for certain that he would be late to his own class.

Even after he put his watch away, Lucius continued to let Narcissa choose their direction. After all, he didn't know what class she had next. He increased their pace only slightly, keeping a brisk but manageable tempo.

Upon reaching her classroom, Lucius took Narcissa's hand from his elbow, but did not let go of it yet. "It was a pleasure talking with you this evening, and I look forward to getting to know you more as our wedding approaches. I can only imagine what conversation dinner will bring us. Until then..."

Raising Narcissa's hand, Lucius placed a soft kiss on the back of it before lowering her hand and letting go, turning to make his way to his own classroom. If he hurried he would make it before the bell.

Narcissa held onto Lucius' elbow carefully. Her touch was evident, but light, a sign of trust and acceptance without being clingy and demanding. When he took out his pocket watch to examine the time, Cissy stole a brief glance at the hands before deftly hurrying her pace. Much to her delight, he matched her pace and surpassed it, but kept it easy to keep up with. Lucky enough for them, her next class wasn't too awfully far away- though there was no doubt in the blond girl's mind that her fiance` was going to be late. However, she was convinced elsewhere that he wouldn't get into too much trouble about it, where ever he was headed.

When they came to her classroom, Cissy had politely thanked him and was ready to turn into the room when her hand was clasped instead of released. She turned her body back around to blink to Lucius in confusion. Though when he spoke to her again, a smile replaced the expression- which was again replaced by slight surprise (and a fresh hue of pink across her cheeks) when his lips brushed the back of her hand. Her eyes then followed his form as he retreated down the hall, and for a moment Narcissa merely stared after him. Unfortunately, her brain caught up with the process, and with another fond smile, she turned again and headed into class.

((Erm...Closed now? xD))
