Description Part of an ongoing christmas and birthday present for the lovely ~Resmiranda , these were drawn alongside the ever-awesome Aoicakes , for her effing fantabulous Vesperia fic which ya'll should read > > > HERE < < <

After a moment’s consideration, Rita stopped trying to ignore their points of contact and glanced around instead. Yuri and Judith were moving a little less fluidly than herself and Schwann, but improvised well in the meantime; Estelle looked an expert, and as Rita twisted to watch, she thought Karol seemed nearly as good. “Is there a dancing guild?” she wondered aloud. “I guess he was probably in it...till they threw him out.”

Schwann chuckled. “How does one get thrown out of a dancing guild?”

“I don’t know. Cowardice?” It was lame, but the air between them thawed a bit, just the same. Rita relaxed further, unaware that she was smiling till their steps took them around to face the mirrors.

She blinked at her reflection in astonishment: she looked like...well, she looked like a girl, and all that girldom usually implies. And Schwann looked like a gentleman enjoying the chance to help a girl through her first waltz, not the dead-eyed, backstabbing bastard that his name had always brought to mind.

Raven had become tolerable, even amusing, in small doses, and she’d have to fix his blastia for good sometime in the near future; Schwann was...

...watching her again. “I hope we’ll have another dance later,” he said.

I just wish that putting them together would not make Raven look like a pedophile...XD

There's something kinda beautiful about this ^_^ wonderfully drawn, Schwann especially since his armor drives me nuts every time I try to draw him. Love the gradient to his hair, it suits him. Thanks for drawing Rita, I couldn't exactly figure out how she looked in that scene and now I do! I like how she looks so..... nervous, or stiff or something, since that's exactly how she'd be in a formal setting!

I had read the fic and really liked it so far, and when I saw this I immediately thought of the fic..... only to click on it and realize the drawings were MADE for the fic, hah. Great job though. The person whom this collaborative birthday gift is sure getting one hell of a present!

Thank you so much for the comment! That's so funny about the story <--> art link - I guess it means we did a decent job of it!

It's so tough drawing the armor, you are absolutely right! And know what else sucked? I haven't played ToV at all...Aoi had to do a verbal walkthrough of all the plot and character stuff before we started. A challenge, but she was a champ and stuck it out there :3
