Aaaaaand apparently she'd been caught. At least he didn't seem to blame her, for wanting to keep such a personal moment secret. If anything, he seemed amused, and she wasn't sure whether she was embarrassed in response, or playful. Some mixture of the two.
Her gloves, like her shoes, had never helped restrain anything. As Alric had noticed, they'd been associated with controlling herself, and she saw them as helpful, which of course was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When he reached for her hand, she began to breathe more deeply. As she had at her coronation, she began to create little spikes and tendrils of ice, creeping across his hand. Seeing them, she quickly stepped back, taking her fully onto the landing to the stairs. "We would need ice skates. If you planned to dance on the ice."
