[~echo~]

"Haha," he laughed in a voice that was also sarcastic. "I wonder what it could mean."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Come on, now, Stormhaven. You need to act more polite," the voice teases, the faintest movement in the darkness

[~echo~]

Adreif sighed softly and stood. "I should prepare for the ball tonight."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Indeed, there are some new clothes lying out on your bed, so watch out," the voice begins to fade

[~echo~]

Adreif nodded although suspiciously and walked towards his villa again.

[CrimsonMoon]

Time skip?)

[~echo~]

(Shore... you start?)

[CrimsonMoon]

-Time skip-

By time time Adreif had finished cleaning up and dressing, music began to flow from the mansion. Colorful figures appearin on its terraces as the flirted and spoke

[~echo~]

Adreif, now having fully taken on the personality of Adwoaf Stormhaven, placed his mask over his eyes and walked with a leisurely pace towards the palace. He merged with a group of guests and made his way inside as though he belonged with them.

[CrimsonMoon]

This time the songs seemed slower, more gentle and wavering and delicate than before. He received strange looks due to his mask but nothing much else.

The familiar pitch black hair of the young Monica Capulet appeared before him riefly, but she seemed to be focusing on the dancers.

[~echo~]

Adreif gave a small smirk when he saw Monica and made his way over to her, ignoring the strange looks he got when he passed. When he reached Monica, he stood behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Lady Capulet, how nice to see you!"

[CrimsonMoon]

Monica turns and smiles, her bright eyes widening slightly and a tiny smile touching her lips," Stormhaven..." She breathes happily

[~echo~]

Adreif gave a deep, sweeping bow and smiled at her. "My lady. It is an honor to be in your presence."

[CrimsonMoon]

Monica smiles and cursies, holding her hand out to him," Would you like to dance or are you still actin like a beginner, masked man?" She teases gently

[~echo~]

"If you'll teach me how," he said slyly.

[CrimsonMoon]

Monica grins and shakes her head, approaching and kissing his cheeks in the gentle greetig common to the Aiahar," Oh, Mystery, what will I ever do to resist your charms?"

[~echo~]

Adreif smiled and offered his arm to the girl, hoping to walk with her as they had once.

[CrimsonMoon]

Monica looped her arm with his and grins at him, her grey eyes sparkling flirtatiously," Do you wear your mask to gain attention? Or merely a trick just for me?" She purrs

[~echo~]

Cleverly thinking up a response, Adreif grinned. "I wear it because I am Mystery- you cannot know my face... yet."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Yet? I have a chance as of yet?" She teases, stepping into the group of dancers so they are swept up into the graceful tide of colors.

Honor watched from an upper level above the ball room, her wavy red-blonde hair tied back into a weak bun. The Companion had been temporarily banned from dancing by Lady Capulet... Maybe the Mistress thought she would steal potential suitors from Monica?
