Private Finished An elegant evening

Hah'en almost made a face when she saw Adryan approaching her, but she firmly ignored him until the thief was standing right next to her and called her (ugh) sis. Hah'en couldn't stop a vaguely disgusted expression and sent Adryan an annoyed sideways glance.
"Call me that again and I will take your pinkies whether or not you keep your promise."
Hah'en said back in a low voice, but did her best to keep a neutral expression, since the woman who this man was seducing might very well look towards them.

"Do not interrupt my work with idle chatting. If you wish for a further reaction on that stunt of yours I will not oblige."
Hah'en added, and spared Adryan one more disapproving side-glance. She emphasized her point by taking a small step away from Adryan. The thief was a grown man, and should know what kind of actions were required from one.

"For such an insignificant reason-"
Hah'en started, turning to look at Adryan, but paused when he showed her the bracelet. She didn't have much time to look at it, but Hah'en had seen a soul gem, and she knew that the bracelet was definitely not Adryan's. It smelled of the lady that had been all over him. This was confirmed by Adryan's words. Anger rose inside Hah'en, and she subtly glared at the thief.

"You-!"
Hah'en yet again started to say, but Adryan left, and Hah'en couldn't immediately go after him. Not without causing a scene, which she would most definitely not do. Now, Hah'en knew that Adryan most probably was planning on messing with her with the bracelet, otherwise he wouldn't have shown it to her. But that didn't change the fact that he had stolen from one of the guests, and it was Hah'en's job to capture individuals who did that. And...
...was Adryan giving the bracelet back to the woman?

This was the first time Adryan had genuinely surprised Hah'en. She had expected something, but this? No, definitely not. Why on Earth would Adryan return it? He'd face the threat of losing his pinkies just to return the bracelet and not even try to mess with Hah'en?
What was wrong with this infuriating confusing man?
The confusion could be seen on Hah'en's face, not clearly but it was there. And in her mind some small part of Hah'en decided, that perhaps Adryan wasn't completely ridiculous and useless.

Although Adryan's actions perplexed Hah'en she denied herself the luxury of remaining as such. Yes, Adryan had surprised her, and the man had probably seen the confusion on Hah'en's face. That was all that Hah'en was going to give to Adryan, because certainly this had been his goal. To throw Hah'en off her groove.
And he had almost succeeded. That was unacceptable.

Hah'en quickly regained her composure and resumed her place along the wall, keeping an eye on Adryan and the group he was with. The woman was using the bracelet as an opportunity to yet again cling on Adrya, and it was no wonder.
Suddenly, a voice crackled in Hah'en's earpiece.
"Hey Mhu, you're good to go home. Nice job with the pickpocket."
"With only one of them" Hah'en thought to herself, but just said a quiet confimation to her earpiece.

Hah'en waited until she could catch Adryan's eyes again, and when she did she did the smallest head tilt towards the side hallway she had dragged him in. Then Hah'en moved from her place and went straight to said hallway, as it also lead to the dressing room where she had left her things. When she entered the hallway Hah'en purposefully slowed her steps, giving Adryan time to catch up to her if he saw her sign.

Hah'en didn't thankfully have to wait for long before Adryan appeared, having managed to shake off his company for the night. It was wise of him not to take that young woman to a hotel, or worse, a dark corner. If she was from high society there would likely be strings attached to such an affair.

Hah'en didn't look at Adryan when he spoke, instead with one quick movements she grabbed his shoulder, pushed him face-first to the wall and took a firm grip from both his pinkies, effectively holding them in a way that if Adryan moved he'd twist them in a very painful way.
"And if I called you here to make you pay for nearly breaking your pinky promise?"
Hah'en asked in a low, slightly evil voice, and squeezed said pinkies bit tighter.
"You really like to play games, petty thief, but I assure you that my patience does not run as deep as you think."

Well, after a while of letting Adryan squirm in her hold Hah'en let him go and took a step back. She looked at the man with a neutral expression for few moments before speaking again.
"Unlike you, I am honest, and I will say that you managed to surprise me tonight. Whether it was to mess with me, or to try and gain my trust, I don't care. But..."
Hah'en held out her hand, like the women out in the lights on the dance floor were doing to their partners. She raised one brow slightly, as if asking 'Well? Aren't you going to dance with me?'

For a moment Hah'en thought Adryan would refuse her offer, which was fine by her, honestly. She was doing it because Adryan had suggested this, she lost nothing if he had been joking or didn't feel like dancing anymore. But Hah'en had to admit, the way Adryan stumbled in his words was unlike him, and...made a small smile tug at Hah'en's lips. Perhaps she should find more opportunities to surprise him and make him do it again.
But eventually, after few moments, Adryan took Hah'en's hand and Hah'en gave a small accepting nod.

Hah'en stepped close and in knowing, almost instinctive, movements settled in the standard dance hold. She wasn't nearly as close as that young woman had been, Hah'en left breathing room between them. Her hand settled delicately on Adryan's shoulder, and she raised a brow at the man.
"I certainly hope you won't stutter in your steps like you did in your words."
Hah'en said, not exactly teasing or mocking him, her tone was leaning more towards...playful. But it was very subtle.
