"That certainly would be exciting. I've always fancied the sight of a duel. Elegant, sophisticated, arousing."

She grinned, knowing she had chosen her words carefully. Even now their lips were inches apart, and yet they were forced to hold back. It was exhilarating. She dared to think that he was even more attractive now when they were pretending to be other people.

Playfully she nipped at his lip, before freeing herself, and spinning several feet back, flourishing her dress playfully and showing a little more than she had before. Her silky white thighs looking inviting for anyone whom may have been near enough to see, but they were meant for one person.

"Well... I won't just give you the prize. Even if you fight. You'll have to earn it. Chase it a little."

She made his head buzz with desire, and worse she knew it. As she spun away and lifted her dress to entice him further, he followed behind. Keeping in step with her was easy. One of them had been walking a lot longer than the other after all.

"I do love a good chase, but I must warn you I don't like losing."

He moved in close, wrapping his arms carefully around her as the two of them continued to dance. His hands hovered across her body, never touching but coming close. He cod tease too.

"Be careful though. If I catch you, I may never let you go."

Blonde. Wearing a finely made black tux and an ornate carved wooden mask.

Workaholic was very much a good way to describe him, he rarely took time to be social, always to busy it seemed, especially recently. That said, the ball was just to good for him to miss again, so he entered the ball the room, smile on his face. It'd been to long since he'd been to any sort of party, let alone something as extravagant as this.

He quickly found himself to the food and dink bar. Helping himself to drink, he sipped it, his intelligent, observant eyes watching as people danced. He was alone, an unfortunate thing caused by his lack of a social life, but the night was young, anything could happen now.

Charlie faltered on a verse as she kissed him, the music continuing unacompanied. It was warm, and deep and full.

Charlie felt the tip of her finger on the dome of his skull, the nail slightly touching the crown which sat above his head, before it mimiced the same shape he himself had daubed on his head to meet the nightmare who he was dancing with. It seemed such a long time ago, but still recent, meeting Penelope.

"I would very much like that" he smiled wryly, cradling her in his chest as they danced "And as for flattering, well, I enjoyed that kiss. I like it when you get inside my head" He winked at this "And who doesn't love dancing with a gorgeous woman. "

And charlie looked into the multi-eyed veil, seeing only the scarlet lips beneath it, and began to sing

"Live your lives, the dead did call,
That is all we can commune
The world is beauty, straight and true
We can only dance beneath the moon
We can see but this night,
The night we dance this macabre tune"

Standing near the buffet was an eight-foot figure wearing a long golden gown covering their equally golden talons. Covering their face was a lightly bejeweled golden mask shaped like a crown. Nearby was their daughter Béatrice and daughter-in-law Ade, though they were distracting themselves with small-talk, eating, and guessing who was who. Archard ignored them for the most part, just observing the guests. They have been to the island multiple times, but after being absent for so long, they thought it would be nice to reappear at the party. Not that they thought anyone would recognize them, and if they did, they were busy being anonymous in their costumes. On second thought, Archard felt someone just had to recognize them. Their appearance was just too unique. It was why Archard did not bother with hiding their identity with their costume: their natural appearance stood out, and they were one of the few oricenta in Manta Carlos.

She smiled at him, putting a hand on his cheek, and using her other to guide his hands to her hips. She was reminded of a song now, one that seemed to have special meaning to them. In her head, the lyrics were playing.

"Boy, let's not talk too much,
Grab on my waist and put that body on me.
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead"

She enjoyed this, and she wanted him to keep chasing her like this. SHe pulled him closer now, holding onto the back of his head and pulling herself so her lips were right by his ear. She loved the feeling of his hair between her feelings, the way his body felt pressed against hers, (And she was pressing tight)

"You know... I wouldn't mind that at all. In fact, I'd encourage it."

She purred before she nipped lightly on his earlobe.

He giggled softly." Oh its quite fine, from the way i've been acting i would have guessed the same darling. Immortals are either the very cold or whimsical types from what i have seen here". He listened on and found him self amused at the comment she had made about Manta Carlos its self but the fact that he had found him self using the same phrase many times before."I find my self saying the same thing sometimes. Mainly to new faces around here, they can be so fun when they haven't been exposed to such different things like us. Then again even though i've been here so long i still find my self being surprised at new things or people from time to time.

He thought to him self for a bit as they danced more. Tonight was going smoothly and he was enjoying being in character a lot. He started to think more about who he exactly was and what differences there were between real him and who he was playing. Then it occurred to him that he wasn't very different at all, besides the voice and all the fancy talk he probably would have said the same things just in his usual tone. He couldn't tell if this was bad or good but he didn't care as long as he was enjoying him self, which he was.

"Yes yes its quite wild here at times and i am only left wondering why people fight and bicker among each other. You know the old saying dear opposites attract. I just wish people would be more understanding sometimes, most people don't even bother listing to you based off of who you are. But its just so so wonderful tonight..... and i'd like to thank you for that ma'dam seeing as you've made it all that better for me" he said with a quick nod.

The kiss came on so fast and out of the blue. It was full of fire and passion, and she was certain that the temperature around them was heating up. AS the kiss broke she gasped in shock and enjoyment, her breath having been stolen.

Despite their heated state, they seemed frozen in place now. Frozen to each other, and frozen in this moment. Narraine couldn't help but smile though. This was fun, it was romantic it was sweet. Everything she wanted n a single instance. A memory that would last forever.

"I can't believe you admit defeat." she said with a grin. Her eyes were full of life and seemed to glow from behind the mask.

She could feel his hands moving along her back, he was at the point where her skin turned to scale, just above were her butt would now be. The touch of his fingers was amazing, and she loved the way he seemed to be exploring her right here. "Do you like it?" She asked with another giggle.

"I wanted to surprise you." As she spoke she lifted her leg and pressed her thigh to his side, while guiding his hand to the soft skim of her leg, sending a shiver up her spine.
