So he had heard her but to her relief he seemed to be on the same page as her. For once.
Faint relief gave way to awkward restlessness as he resumed whatever this was. Not that she was oblivious to where things seemed to be heading but this not the usual way of it. That coupled with the shifting of his hands lead her to the concern that her new dress was in grave danger and while it was starting to seem highly unlikely that she'd ever make it to the luncheon now that didn't mean she wouldn't ever wear it again. At least not as long as it remained in one piece.
If he ripped her new dress... Tig twisted her arm behind her back to investigate the unfamiliar fastenings. But found none. Ah yes, this new dress was supposed to look remarkably seamless which Tig had been very pleased about until this very moment, how could she have forgotten! The damn thing belted at the front right around where his hand was because of course it did and there was at least one hidden button. Merlin's beard he'd never figure it out, she'd have to do it.
Trying to be discreet about it, she grabbed his right hand and tried to move it further up so she could get to the buttons on the belt. As soon as she'd managed to undo those (which was a little more fiddly than she had expected) she moved on to the hidden button at her bosom she thought was most likely going to be damaged if she didn't get there first.
