OOC Note: Raze is far less likely to kill someone in this thread

It was an evening of drinks, gossip and high society frivolities. He wouldn’t know what to do here if not for the path that Emryc Thorne took for decades up the political ladder. He was equipped with all the tools, he just needed to apply them. The hall was massive, and this little gathering was invitation only. A little bit of manipulating got his foot in the door, and he would have fun with the rest. He had been exploring various vices with his new body whether that meant pleasures of the flesh or dabbling into high class cuisine and drinks. He was dabbling in whatever he pleased without any inhibitions.

The wraith found himself in the halls of Castle Serenno, which now served as political headquarters for the Great Houses. The planet was still reeling from the Imperial and Sith split, and there was a vacuum of power across multiple Great Houses. Raze could take things by force, of course, but the long cons often paid off the best.

The anzat was dressed for the occasion, cutting an imposing figure with his expensive attire and a mask concealing the upper hemisphere of his face. The cut jawline and pallid skin were visible, and he strode through the hall with the grace of a prince. As if he was born for this.

The wealthiest of the wealthy were gathered here, mingling and chatting away with all their artificially manufactured nuances. There were patterns to how the guests dressed - most falling back to the traditions of their respective house. The one he sought aligned perfectly to his preferences.

The inexplicable chill that always accompanied him remained, and any he passed by would glance over curiously. It only added to the air of mystery as no one immediately knew who he was. Raze had a particular person in mind that he wanted to engage with tonight - a member of House Malvern - but that could wait. For now he helped himself to a drink, finding the music pleasing and acceptable for his tastes.

There was little that sparked Sah’ra’s social curiosities. By most respects, she preferred her solitude. To be left alone to study her histories and secrets. Yet every now and then, she needed the company of more than just herself. Or rather, needed to establish connections which forced her to mingle with other people, much to her disdain. The fact that this particular gathering was not the typical collection of dregs and outcasts that so often surrounded her was alluring indeed. Procuring the invitation was the easy part. Her connections with the Adumarian royal family had often paid off in the past, and continued to do so to this day.

The halls of Castle Serreno were a sight to behold, with its exquisite decorum and high society patronage. Conversations were not the same clamorous volume of lesser gatherings with one half of the room shouting over the other but remained civil and controlled. Even above the murmur of voices, subtle laughter and clinking of cutlery the melodies of the band carried softly across the great hall to the ears of those who delighted in it.

Sah’ra forced the appearance of actually enjoying herself as she laughed with a small collection of Banking Clan representatives, her choice of black dress and boots allowing her to blend in amongst the crowd whilst other vibrant attire pulled the attention to them. For now, the woman focused on making connections with the wealthy and influential but she could not help but feel as though there was something… Amiss. Looming. As she brought her wine to her lips, blue eyes scanned the crowd carefully in search for just what that may be.

Being a plus-one was tedious at best and dull, at worst.

Since the battle of Felucia, Deva had kept herself considerably below the radar, biding her time to make a calculated appearance, though that time in isolation was never in vain. Steeping herself ever more in Darkness, she waited patiently, watching as the Empire grew too large, and schismed, as all repeats in history did. Betrayal amongst their own kind was imminent; you could truly trust no one here, for behind every smile there were fangs, and behind every touch was a promise of a blade in your belly.

Survival alone was survival of the fittest.

Tonight, she was a fallen noble's plus-one, dressed simply in a sweeping black armored dress that accented her willowy frame and booted heels, her mask a black crow's visage, with plumage softening the sharp set of her cheekbones as she stood, absently listening to the dull conversation that ghosted past her mind, dark eyes scanning the crowd with a sharp, assessing gaze.

A familiar sensation ghosted down her spine, and she shivered into sudden alertness, gaze flicking to and fro. It was all too familiar; like a shark, swimming amongst eels. It was a tantalizing sensation, and it didn't take long to have her eyes drawn to one figure in particular.

I don't recognize him. The thought rose in her mind, before she assessed him a second time, for a moment unmoving in her observation before, carefully, tearing her gaze away to attempt to listen in to the conversation before her, her partner wrapping his arm about her waist.

She ground her teeth at the unwanted touch, fighting the urge to burn his arm off.

Patience. It will all pay off in the end.

Jayna felt entirely within her element - surrounded by the trill of classical music and glittering decorations that adorned Castle Serenno. Unlike most members of her family, she genuinely enjoyed such exclusive events, and it took little convincing for Jayna to fit the evening into her busy schedule. Once a bastion of the Sith Empire, the recent independence of Serenno had opened the door to schmooze and socialize with the powerful families that dwelled there.

As expected, the Thorne heiress was dressed to the nines - catching the light with every step through the grand halls. She was adorned in a dress of midnight blue and golden accents, with sleeves that contributed to the wispy train that dragged behind her. Her black hair was tied into an intricate up-do, accenuating the earrings she wore. Her outfit was complete with a mask fit for the occasion, matching the color scheme she had opted for that evening.

Towering over most of her peers, Jayna gracefully slipped through the crowds of nobility and corporate executives - greeting each guest with the hint of a smile. Despite the mask she wore, there was no mistaking who she was - largely due to the piercing, silver eyes still visible through her mask.

She managed to slip away from a conversation with some distant cousin of House Nalju, gushing about the colors that so confidently matched that of his own house. She gradually made her towards the table stocked full of drinks, allowing her gaze to drift across the various partygoers along the way, lingering whenever someone caught her attention for one reason or another.

Standing at the edge of the small group, all listening intently to the bombastic tale of chivalric heroism the disturbingly handsome man was dramatically narrating, Jasnah sipped at her drink and waited politely. The look on the face of the Mistryl guard, who was trying to blend into the background but was very obviously there for him, said more than enough about the veracity of his words. She smiled at much at that as in fake appreciation of the tale.

As the story went on she noticed his eyes linger on him, the looks she had been giving him, accentuated by the dress she was wearing, had done its part. So she was not surprised when once he was done, he wandered over. "That was very brave of you Prince Gaston," she greeted him politely, "those children were very lucky you were nearby."

Small talk followed, and soon enough she was gliding along on his arm, mingling with nobles and aristocrats who would not have greeted her as politely if not for her new escort. As they disengaged from an elderly lord of a lesser house of Serenno, she spotted a face with distinctive eyes that she immediately recognized, and pulled Gaston towards her.

"Miss Thorne," she greeted the younger woman, "might I introduce his Royal Highness, the Prince Gaston."

He knew there were familiar faces here - faces from years prior. The wraith finished his wine, placing the empty glass on a passing tray before he surveyed the room. Jayna Thorne (@Altaris) caught his attention. It was almost too easy - Emryc’s daughter right here as a mouse happily scurrying towards a cat. No, he liked the hunt. He liked being elusive. He liked his games.

He caught a woman (@Killa Ree ) staring intently at him, and he returned the gaze. If she looked close enough, she would be able to make out the unnatural gleam of his red eyes. He did not recognize her through the mask, but he knew he had met her before. Perhaps in another castle on Serenno itself.

What piqued his curiosity the most was the stench of a Sith artifact. One of the guests had touched one so recently the essence of it lingered on her still. It drew Raze like a moth to a flame, and in turn she would likely feel that strange feeling grow as he approached.

“If you are attempting to blend into the background, I’m afraid you’ve managed the exact opposite,” The wraith said as he stood before Sah’ra. It would be unclear how he suddenly ended up there, his movements almost a bit unnatural. Not quite human, “A black rose amidst a sea of dahlias,” He said as he extended his hand, which would be cool to touch, to invite her to dance, “I can only hope you come with thorns.”

There was no difficulty for the founder of Asteria Industries to secure herself an invitation to this party. As much as she would rather be back home and lounging on her sofa, she knew there was a necessity to network, mingle, and to learn of the latest gossip that circled among some of the wealthiest galactics. She also knew it would be a pleasant distraction from the chaos that seemed to engulf her life recently; it had not been too long since she returned with a distraught Ezra. For herself, she was still trying to process it all, though found solace in locking it away, swearing she would focus on her work for now as she convinced herself it was not urgent or important.

And so, she was here, no need for a plus-one, she was a queen in her own right, not dominating worlds, resources, or house titles. Her domain were the stars and the matte of space that tied between everyone. Tia shown that confidence when she entered the hall, her black gown resembled a star burst, with gold sequence cascading down her back and through the train of the dress. Her red hair rolled down her back and over her shoulders in loose wavy curls, a thick lock pinned back with a pearl barrette to give shape to her face. She wasn't too fond of the mask, she wasn't sure if it was triggering from her days as the Eternal or if it were just plain itchy for an accessory.

She tried to guess who was who under all the masks, but eventually gave it no further thought as she reached for a glass of champagne, toasting silently to herself for a productive evening.

Deva wasn't shy to meet eyes; when Darth Raze stared back, she neither flinched nor shied away, but met his gaze squarely, intrigued by the red sheen that ghosted his eyes. She wanted to get closer, to examine his eyes and perhaps speak, but the male had seemingly vanished.

Exhaling slowly in disappointment, her gaze once more panned around the crowd, when--

One entrant caught her eye.

The vision was so stunning, for a moment she thought it a phantasm. Hair that deep red, pale skin, a stunning dress to match, and an intellect of far greater beauty. Dimly, Deva was aware she was staring, but she couldn't help herself. Her heart thudded dully in her chest, and she knew, deep down, that there was only one person of such stunning quality.

It could only be Tiamat.

She remembered all too well the last they met, how her uncertainty and the pain from withdrawal cost her the opportunity to get closer to the woman that still captivated her, and she knew she wouldn't let the opportunity slip away again. Slipping from her partner's arm, she glared loftily when he made an attempt to grab at her arm, her voice a low whispered hiss as she smiled thinly at him, leaning in close.

"Touch me without my permission again, and I'll break every bone in your body and burn you alive... darling." Sibilant venom dripped from her lips as she bared her teeth in a menacing grin, and watched in satisfaction as he abruptly released, glaring daggers at her. Yanking her arm away, she adjusted her gloves, before glancing up to note, with relief, that the other woman hadn't moved.

Snagging a champagne glass of her own, she wended her way past chatting socialites and clustered couples, head held high as she took in her target. When she strode in closer, she offered the other woman a half-bow, before raising and giving the woman a secretive smile, nodding once.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," she spoke up, holding the glass stem delicately between finger and thumb and lifting the glass to her lips. She highly doubted the woman would even remember her; now was the chance to try again.

"May I have the honor of a dance?"

Tia took a rather long drink from her glass, quickly quieting any nerves she felt; despite the attention she seemed to draw to her looks, she loved it, but at the same time hated it because eventually she will have to socialize with most of them. The admiration and awe felt like power to her, to placate the weak wills of especially the males that were present, but she also knew she drew jealousy and ire from the women who were partnered with them. However, her senses guided her blue gaze to an individual that stole her attention, her thoughts spinning as to where to place her, when to place her and the violet eyes...

She gave a small bow, greeting Tia, and she in return smiled, she knew that voice, those eyes, she had certainly met this woman before. "It's a pleasure to see you again," she paused to finish off the rest of her drink, setting the glass on a passing tray, "Deva, yes, it would be an honor to dance." she said extending her palm to grasp the lithe woman's hand and take her to the dance floor. Tia would internally admit, she was excited to see her, she hadn't a clue what happened to the Sith woman after the schism, let alone after their last encounter. Most certainly it was not uncommon to be missing, but she had always assumed she was just not privy to that information and the Sith Empire at the time had their own doings, beneficial for them, and perhaps not always to those who fell short of their expectations.

Tia wrapped an arm around the woman's waist, falling into gentle beat of the waltz.

The invitation had surprised her, all things considered. It had been a very long time since Aadya had seen, let alone spoken to Raze. Still, it did seem in character for the man. And who was she to say no to such a polite request?

Aadya arrived to the party local with little fanfare. Her space Uber was nice but not overly fancy, though it did have free champagne inside which was always appreciated. Especially now.

Normally Aadya was never really the nervous type, but something about seeing Raze after all this time was causing her stomach to shift a bit and it was more uncomfortable than she wanted to admit. Adding bubbly alcohol to that mixture probably wasn't the best idea, but she could think of little else to do in the meantime to calm her nerves.

The music emanating from the hall was not her taste, but she wasn't going to complain. Aadya had expected this style of party, a far cry from the dance clubs or sweaty warehouse raves she typically frequented. The whole thing made her miss Altair, which was frustrating.

She'd come to accept those circumstances, though not without great effort. But nothing was ever going to make her forget him entirely, it would seem.

Oh well.

Arriving in the dance hall, Aadya noticed that the party had already starte -or well, at least the dancing had. She smirked at the stuffiness of it all as she made her way to the bar.

Having opted to wear something other than a dress, Aadya found the first available place to grab a drink and settled in.

She was curious to see how someone like the Raze she knew interacted with people at a party like this.

Briefly Sah’ra had believed she had located the source of this mysterious aura she felt, her gaze settling briefly on a man she could not quite identify. There was something oddly familiar about him, but her memory failed to place it. Nothing quite so simple as a brief meeting in the past but rather a dominating presence, even in his silence. She didn’t let her eyes linger however, her attention pulled away by one of the Representatives she had begun socializing with by making an off-color remark about another person present here tonight. Feigning an amused chuckle as she turned her attention towards him, she quickly found herself glancing back in the other man’s direction.

Only he was no longer there.

Furrowing her brow, racking her mind to place a finger on where she may know him from, she turned to continue her conversation only to see the very same man standing at her side. His voice and demeanor were smooth as silk but his presence was something else entirely. Then his words were, of course, poetic and dignified.

”If that is a rehearsed line, I must commend you for it. I'm sure every recipient swoons when they hear it,” she replied calmly with a slightly more sincere smile than she had offered to anyone else tonight. Whoever this man was, he was someone worth knowing. Every instinct she had was torn between taking the hand he offered or turning and running for the door.

A shame then, that Sah’ra was a curious person by nature.

Placing the half drank glass of wine on the table at her side, she quickly pardoned herself from her previous acquaintances and placed her hand in his. It was like holding the hand of death, only further prodding her curiosity and, to a certain degree, her excitement. With a wicked glint in her eye, she allowed him to guide her to the dance floor. ”More than you might know,” she jested. With her hand in his, she was all the more certain he was more than he appeared. Much more.

Oh.

She recognized her.

Her heart felt quite literally as though it would skip a beat, and for a moment, she paused, looking at the woman as she even called her by name. So surprised was she that the woman actually remembered, that she was at a loss for words. However, her arm around her waist was a jolt back to reality, and she could feel the smile curl the corners of her lips as her own arm snaked about the woman's waist, hand splaying on her lower back as she pulled her in closer.

"Glad you remembered me," her voice was low, amused as she gave an unseen waggle of her eyebrows. "It'd be a shame if I'd be forgotten, after all," and she began to move with her, effortlessly. Almost like she'd practiced.

Internally, she was freaking out, feeling her heart race, the Darkness humming along her skin, begging to release, to enhance the situation. But she would wait, and bide her time. After all, there was no rush here. The subtle smell of perfume, those blue eyes enhanced by her mask... if she was meant to be betrayed, this was a person worth being betrayed by. Of course, nothing was stronger than being betrayed; it was the kind of emotional drive that could make or break a Sith of the old order.

"Congratulations, by the way," she murmured, setting her glass on a passing tray to lightly hold the other woman's hand, head cocked up subtly so as to not break eye contact. "I've never seen a better entrance."

He said nothing in response, guiding her out onto the dance floor. The wraith practically glided across the hall, leading Sah’ra into a reverse turn that coasted into a hover corte and a back whisk, smoothly into a waltz chasse. She would feel as if she were floating, circling around the others that danced. His skin was cool despite the touch of her warmth, and he moved her gracefully through the waltz He guided her through a natural spin turn before twirling her under his arm.

After pulling her in from the twirl, he lowered her into a dip with just one arm, “Rehearsing keeps me tamed,” He said in response to her earlier comment at last, a smirk playing on his lips that were visible beneath the mask. He tugged her back to stand, continuing the dance. The anzat was well aware of others in the area.

At one point he danced past a certain figure (@Logan ), his cape brushing against her. There was no accident when it came to his practiced steps. She would notice a frost climbing up the stem of her glass and up around the body of it, the chill continuing through her fingers, arms, limbs and all the way down her spine. Every scar she inflicted upon herself would suddenly tingle with an icy chill. His own unnatural way of greeting.

“It appears we have shared interest in chasing after trinkets,” He said calmly to Sah'ra, looking down at where he grasped her hand. She would see streaks of black forming from her touching the holocron in the tomb. It was a pulse, as if her veins came to the surface of her skin, reflecting her inky black blood coursing. He would only smirk knowingly as the black faded back into her skin as if it were never there.

He said nothing about it, twirling her under his arm once more to continue the dance.

Jayna was vaguely aware of the conversations taking place around her - consequence of the advanced hearing her heritage imparted. It didn’t take long for the Heiress to reach a table stocked to the brink with refreshments, plucking up a glass for herself the stem. It wasn’t until someone began to approach from her peripheral - calling out her name - that Jayna turned to give them her attention.

Her gaze promptly fell upon Jasnah and the Prince - greeting both of them with a polite smile. Despite the lofty title being flaunted by the Prince, it was the woman on his arm that Jaynah recognized at once. Politics was her arena, and Atreides had demonstrated herself was one of the most promising diplomats the Empire had produced in its lifespan.

“Prince Gaston,” She extended a hand towards the man himself, giving it a firm shake. Her silvery eyes lingered on him for just a moment, “How are things on Hynestia, after the Republic?” The quarter-Sephi had spent years of her life schmoozing with the Galactic elite, and entirely too much time in the Core recently. Even if she hadn’t met the man in person, she recognized the name enough to make an educated guess.

“And you, Miss Atreides,” Jayna extended her hand with a smile. “A pleasure.” Her interest in the woman completely eclipses the aristocrat at her side, and the heiress made little effort to hide that fact.

A few brief moments of small-talk passed before Jayna had enough - using the change of song as her opportunity to escape. She finished what remained of her drink before placing the glass back onto the table, her silver gaze settling upon Jasnah. “Seems to me a shame to be the only ones lingering on the sidelines. Would you do me the honor?” She said smoothly.

“If you’ll excuse us,” She waited for Jasnah to accept her hand before moving towards the dancefloor - leaving a rather dumbstruck looking Prince Gaston to watch them leave.

Along her path, Jayna caught just a glimpse of red hair - bright against the dark backdrop of the castle. Was that her Auntie Tia?

No.. Definitely not.

To say Sah’ra was enthralled by her mysterious partner’s elegant movements and skillful footwork would be expected. And perhaps had it been anyone else, she would have admired the dedication to achieve the level of near-spectral talent he had. Instead, as she was guided by his masterful hand, her mind continued to race at just who this man was, as he clearly was more than just an aristocrat.

”Tamed,” she chuckled, her eyes meeting his as she was pulled upward. Despite his enigmatic demeanor, or perhaps because of it, she found herself rather fascinated by the Anzat. ”Being tamed is synonymous with broken men and household pets. You don’t strike me as either,” she added, returning her hand to the nape of his neck as they spirited themselves across the floor.

What followed next was nothing short of frightening, amplified by the man’s apparent lack of regard to the occurrence. Alarm painted itself across her features as she watched the veins in her hand pulse into view before fading away as though nothing had transpired. Despite this concerning event, her interest in who this man was was only amplified. ”I’m beginning to think we share more than just an interest in such things,” she stated plainly as she came out on the opposite side of the twirl he initiated. She wanted to ask him who he was, where he came from, why he struck her as so familiar or how he knew what he seemed to know. The mystery surrounding him was more alluring than the answers she pondered however.

As she was pulled back towards him, her back pressed against his chest, she looked up to try and meet his gaze once more. ”And just why do you pursue these trinkets, might I ask?” she posed the question, careful of eager and over reaching ears.

It felt good to be back on the dance floor with a partner. She could remember how long it had been since she attended such gatherings and had not been able to dance in recent years. Though it didn't deter her from ever slacking on her drills and katas, a blend of discipline and grace added to her morning meditation. A passion no doubt that she could rely on when all else seemed to shatter around her.

Deva was nimble on her feet as she moved with Tia; she seemed to be enjoying herself from what the woman could tell. She took her other hand into her own as she disposed of her glass, congratulating the redhead on her entrance to the dance.

Her cheeks reddened, breaking her gaze with the woman's violet eyes, surprised by the compliment as she didn't ever plan such things, "I know people will be watching who comes through those doors." she started, "I hope I gave them something to remember. What do you think?" she asked with a smirk, though deep down she would prefer no eyes on her, allowing her to slip by unnoticed, but as long as she could remember, that would never be possible. Unless of course, she had to follow behind Emryc on a presidential outing or something, then everyone would watch him.

"Did you come alone tonight or were you here with another?" Tia asked.

Alexi stepped back from the woman he had been dancing with and bowed slightly. She had made a quip earlier that had suggested she may not have been entirely boring, but that that had turned out to be nothing more than a fluke. She had been merely average, an average dancer, an average conversationalist. Alexi had grown quickly bored. "You have been lovely, my dear." he said warmly as they parted ways after he had walked her off the dance floor.

He turned, his red jacket billowing slightly out as he made his way to a nearby table, grabbing a glass of champagne. He peered out through his mask as he scanned the room, taking a drink.

Alexi rather liked masquerades. It was something a little different than the normal affair. The energy was different than most ordinary parties.

Baudelaire shot down the boarding ramp of The Freebird at full speed on his skimboard. He was late. Very late… again… Leon was positive he was going to be fired upon arrival, but on the off chance someone called out he’d be right there to save the day. Besides, he needed this money really bad.

Luckily, the place he was working at had it’s own port. He swung around to the back of the massive building and spotted Valdez and Grom playing hacky sack. A smile spread across his face, maybe he wasn’t as late as he thought? He slowed then stepped off his board popping the tail up and touching it under his arm, “Yo!

Valdez turned around, “Oh shiiii, bruh I thought you no call no showed,” Leon and Valdez dapped up. “Nah, my ship’s been fucking up man—you got you vape?
Valdez smiled, “Duh,” he pulled out the pen and handed it to Leon after Baudelaire greeted Grom.
Dude, what’s up with your shirt?” asked Grom.

Leon glanced down, saw the blood, fucking panicked. He took a long hit on the vape, buying himself as much time as he could, then blew out a cloud of smoke while coughing saying, “It’s paint.

With his smokescreen in place he quickly snagged his button down shirt and vest out of his pack, thankful for the layers, He slipped into them as fast as he could while changing the subject.

Okay, scale of 1-fired how mad is Doth?
Valdez laughed, “Tilly called out you lucky bitch, Doth is freaking out because the client in there is some big timer here on the planet. Looks like you get to be a hero Montoya.

Leon was already halfway to the door hope acting as the wind beneath his wings, “See you on the other side boys,” he took another rip off the pen then tossed it back to Valdez. Grom was clearly not convinced by his excuse, but he wasn’t sure enough of himself to stop Leon either, good ole Grom.

“Montoya” stepped through the back door, stashed his board around the corner, the spotted Doth. Leon’s anxiety went through the roof and he nearly spun on his heels to bail when he was spotted, “NEON MONTOYA! HOW NICE OF YOU TO SHOW UP!

Uh-oh.

Leon sighed and turned around, “Oh hey Doth, I did—
Do you have any idea how short handed we are?
I do not.

The vein on Doth’s crimson sweat spattered forehead throbbed so hard, Leon was positive he was about to see an aneurysm happen in real time. Doth was a stocky, normally, pale skinned human with jowls that rattled like a Gungan Big Boss when he was irritated, and buddy those things were rattling, but as he took a breath to start screaming he stopped and gave Leon a once over.

Wait," Doth’s blood pressure seemed to stabilize for the briefest moment, "You can bartend, right?
Leon swallowed, “I-er Yup!
Doth stuck a meaty index finger in Leon's and said, “You’re fucking lucky Tilly’s missing. Get out there, and if you fuck up on ONE drink, you are DONE, Montoya, DO YOU HEAR ME?!

Leon’s head was practically vibrate up and down as if nodding faster would reassure the crazy person screaming at him, then suddenly, Doth held up a weird looking mask, “Put this on, anyone on the main floor is required to have one on. Got it?

Baudelaire frowned at the mask, looked up at Doth to protest, deflated like a water balloon with a hole in it, took the mask and muttered, "Got it..."

He had a little head buzz from the tabac vape which helped marginally with the pain in his side. Leon slipped the mask on and happened to catch a glimpse of himself in a mirror just before stepping through the double doors.

Meh, could be worse,” he decided before entering the room.

Leon knew the rules of engagement in this environment. He kept his eyes forward and moved with purpose to the unmanned bar station. He immediately checked his speed rack and garnishes, located back ups he’d inevitably need, and got comfortable in the space. He found a clean micro-fiber towel and set to polishing his glassware while waiting for his first guest.

Now that he had time look around he took in the room and it's occupants.

What in the fuck had he signed up for?

It was strange to see the woman being so open. The last time they met, Deva was awkward, unsure of how to approach, but seeing the other woman so at ease gave her a little more confidence. Perhaps not recklessly so, but she would have to see.

It was nice to be seen, for once. To be greeted by name, to touch someone without feeling disgust and fury. To look into blue eyes, only for that gaze to break away as perhaps... did she blush?

A wolfish smirk touched the corner of her lips as she led Tia with her, leaning in a little closer so that she would murmur into her ear, words only meant for the other woman to hear.

"Never hesitate to make an entrance, Tiamat. Wear that brilliance like a crown, and I am sure others will see what I see. But..." She turned smoothly on a heel, giving the woman a cheeky wink with one deep violet eye as she leaned back again, "I think you succeeded tonight." Her smirk vanished, replaced with a frown as she glanced over to her partner, and let out a low groan.

"Unfortunately. Not by choice, either. And what of you?" Once again, deep violet eyes settled on those of blue, head cocking slightly.

The alarm on her face was exquisite. He found beauty in fear, so much more than the delight or admiration that Emryc invoked. It sickened him. He couldn’t be more thrilled to be separated from his weaker half. The fear practically radiated off the woman, and he caught it like a scent, a glint appearing in his crimson gaze. She spun around and her back was against his chest. She was close, dangerously close. It would be so easy to feast on her right then. He could smell her perfume, feel the heat of her body, sense the fear mixed with curiosities that drew mice to their doom.

“Because I intend to create my own,” He said quietly, his fingers very lightly tracing down the side of her body, sliding along the curve of her waist and down to her hip. His breath was a frosty gale against her skin. He would be the master of his own artifacts. He would be the creator that survived centuries past his physical form through the trinkets that endured every test of time. He would be immortal.

He abruptly spun her around to a turn of the music, drawing her close with one arm around the small of her back. As he looked at her, she would be hit with abrupt flashes of memories. She would see his crimson eyes suddenly juxtaposed with a very recognizable red visor. Once again, it would be as if she were seeing things and it’d fade instantly. He leaned in close, his face inches from hers as he smiled. An icy chill would tickle her lips, “I think you would prefer if I stayed tame, no?” He chuckled to himself, drawing her back out and abruptly spinning her around with his leg between hers so her leg would coil around his while she was spun in a circle. He had no qualms with moving her around as if she were a plaything, though each gesture was perfectly practiced and graceful.
