Ivy blushed under her fur to think that Calvin might have heard what she had whispered to her bodyguard but she was soon interested in the weapons discussion. Of course her father had taught her to shoot. She had been hunting with him scores of times. She let the males have their say about the subject first and then when she thought they were finished she commented extemporarily, "I'm fine, too." She lifted the hem of her dress above her knee and showed the two males the tiny paw-gun that was slipped into her garter.
Then suddenly she remembered how unseemly it was for a lady to be showing so much leg and dropped the hem of her gown back to the floor.

Calvin's eyes looked at her leg and blood gushed out of his nose. He had never seen that far up a lady's leg, let alone a lady he was interested in. He quickly turned and took out a handkerchief that he had in his pocket, cleaning off his paw and his nose from the blood. "S-s-sorry, Ivy." He said as he tried to cease the bleeding.

"Fair enough, I shall drop the master when speaking or refering to you, Calvin." Garret said, raising an eyebrow at the random bleeding.
"That's... Unusual. Good observations on the weapon, however. They're actually accurate to 150 yards, and quite stable due to the weight of the quad barreled design. Admittable, the reload is an issue, but I suppose I never had to worry about it considering I have six. And, as for the evening being planned as a dance, not a massacre, I will say but one thing: You'd be surprised."
"And, finally; Miss Ivy, should you be lifting your dress again, please warn the lad. He seems too much of a gentleman to enjoy the sight, as most would. This is not a bad thing, however.
The bleeding is though." He added with an awkward, slightly concerned expression on his face as they neared the library and he withdrew another handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to Calvin.

Calvin reached out with a hand and took the handkerchief. He nodded slowly as he silently thanked the gods for not putting any blood on his suit. He felt so ashamed about being so weak to seeing so much. Calvin even thought that it disgusted Ivy to a point where saying that he had feelings for her would be replied with distaste and rejection. He did not turn to look at Ivy as he cleaned himself, fearing a look of anger from her.

If Ivy was angry with anybeast, it was herself. She had never meant to make Calvin uncomfortable. Her blush deepened until her cheeks were positively burning. She bit her lip and turned away. "I'm sorry, Calvin. Are you all right?" She couldn't bare to think what he must think of her now. No lady would expose herself the way Ivy had done. And carrying a weapon besides. Lady's were supposed to stand back and let gentlebeasts do their fighting for them. "I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to go now. I won't stop you."

Calvin half-turned to look at Ivy with a fearful yet curious eye, even though he refused to show his nose. "I'b fine. I duno what happund too et." said he as he looked down occasionally to catch dribbles of blood in mid-fall.
Hearing her say that she expected him to leave almost made him hug her. He shook his head rapidly before realizing his nose was not done bleeding yet, and said, "You should hab sobethin to demend yourselff with. Dont be athabed about it." He smiled at her, not removing his hands from his nose, but a genuine smile even with the awkward bleeding.

Ivy smiled again but humbly this time. She was sure the would never be able to deserve Calvin. He was just too sweet. "Here," she pulled her own pawkerchief out of her pocket and lifted it tentatively toward his face. "Let me help you with that."
What she really wanted to do was kiss him but she was sure that if this was any indication they were going to have to take things a little slower. And with all these tender thoughts and feelings she had completely forgotten that her new bodyguard was still present. Nobeast else but Calvin existed in the whole world.

Calvin blinked at her coming closer and removed his handkerchiefs to reveal a perfectly fine nose with blood dripping from it, though much slower than before. He himself was going red, however, from having her come so close to him and touch him so softly. Feeling her hand dab at his face was very calming and warming to him, even though his nose was a bit sore.

Ivy managed to keep her gaze away from his eyes while she wiped the blood away from Calvin's nose. "Are you sure you're all right? I could go and get you some ice or something, if that would help." Then her amber eyes met his orange ones again and there was no going back.

Calvin looked at her amber eyes and fell helpless again, but this time he was compelled to kiss her. He thought that the idea was against his better judgement, but his instincts were saying go for it and that she wants it. Finally, after a heated, yet second long battle, he leaned forward to kiss her.

Garret had stopped mid stride, and proceeded to stand there awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck, until Calvin leaned in for the kiss. It seemed that he ought to stop this from occuring, as, well, nice though the admiral seemed to be, it wouldn't do for him or anybeast else to come upon this instance, and so Garret interrupted with a slight, but noticeable, cough.
"I think we've reached the library. If you would be so kind, Miss Ivy. I feel that a strange beast, especially one of my appearance, walking up and asking for a suit would not be percieved very well by most."

This time rather than blushing, all the blood drained from the catmaid's face. She had been a mere hair's breadth from kissing Calvin or from being kissed, which really amounted to the same thing. "I - I . . . yes. Th-the library. Sam. I'll just go and talk to Sam." This was all said while she was still looking at Calvin. Then she nearly tripped as she turned to enter the library.

Calvin quickly caught Ivy as she nearly tripped, and helped her get up. He nodded slightly to her as he held her, unsure on whether what he did insulted her or not. He wasnt one to prod any further, but he wished to know from sheer curiosity.

The blush returned to Ivy's cheeks. She did so love it when Calvin held her in his arms. "Thank you. I'm - I assure you I'm just fine, just . . ." a flutter of her heart and a flutter of her eyelashes. "I'm just fine." I'm more than fine when you're close to me, she wanted to add. But she heard a book close in the library and knew her brother would be coming out soon to see who had called his name.

A large male -Though still shorter than Garret-, came around the corner, a look of curiousity on his face. He was well built, with broad shoulders and a defined chin. He crossed his arms.
"Hello, Ivy. What are you and your..." He raised an Eyebrow as he looked at Garret and Calvin, "Friend and Guard doing here? Shouldn't you be getting ready for the Ball?"
