"Thank you for the dance..." Liliana remarked politely when the music and the dance finally ended. She had had a nice time dancing with Orange, who she began to suspect was probably one of her student council members and, if she was correct, her archery partner.
Taking a step back as she was leaving, Liliana suddenly came face to face with a very elegant looking woman dressed in black and wearing a wolf mask asking her if she'd like to dance with her or her partner. Glancing at her in surprise, Liliana's gaze followed the woman's hand to the man she was referring to. Not surprisingly, he was also very elegant looking in his dark tux and wolf mask.
Raising an eyebrow at this, Liliana couldn't help but stare for a second past him as her regalia, Mistress Elaine, moved to sit off in a corner watching Liliana with a frown and somewhat disapprovingly. The old regalia hadn't quite approved of Liliana's choice of outfit. It was not what women traditionally wore to these events, and now, she had had to watch the younger woman dancing with another woman. All of which challenged the old woman's sensibilities and made her uncomfortable. It also added to the fact that Mistress Elaine was very aware of her views and often agonized quietly over the fact that she found it hard to accept the non-traditional.
"You know, I think I'd like to dance with the gentleman if you don't mind," Liliana said politely to the woman, not really wanting to infuriate her regalia anymore than she already seemed to be. Liliana knew that she had been, in a way, deliberately taunting the old woman, and decided that maybe it was time to act somewhat more like a lady and dance with a young man instead of flaunting her openness and tolerance in front of the old woman who was offering her a chance to manipulate souls and expand on her natural abilities.
