[ There was something about the parties of the Evanuris. The coming together of those of all classes, from those power-hungry for more to the servants and slaves that maneuvered through it all, biding their time. Anything could happen and he was intent to know everything that did.
Temporarily free of his duties, his gaze shifted about the room. There were those that flocked around him, eager to have the attention of one who had Mythal's favor. Not that he paid them much mind. Their words and offers to dance were brushed off. He knew who was looking for and the way she carried herself would make her easy to find even in this crowd. Everything she was, is, would be was wasted on Elgar'nan.
When their eyes meet, he smirks faintly. So she wanted him to follow. His glass of wine is set aside and he starts in on the chase, weaving his way through the crowd and never losing sight of her for one moment. There was only so far they could go while remaining out on the main floor. Already he had a few places in mind they could sneak away to while everyone was preoccupied with drinks and dance.
His own masquerade mask, one of a simple wolf with green accents, remains on even as he approaches her. ] I had wondered if I would be fortunate enough to see you here.
[ It's a merry chase she leads him through the milling servants, courtiers, guests, that make up the mess of the Evanuris gathering. Slight and quick, turning with him as easily as she leaves them. It was not that she had no admirers before or after this, but that they all found her teeth too much. Even when Elgar'nan all but insisted if she wanted to please him, she'd make his friends content in her company.
More fool him, more fool them. She doesn't stay put long enough for that nonsense then or now.
Rather her favour isn't a complacent thing. No matter how the years stretched on and bound them into service. It cannot be mistaken and it is wholly given as she snatches his wrist when he comes close. Tugging him onwards, with her, her back to the crowds, but she knows these steps like she knows his, knows he'd stop her from doing anything particularly foolish as she guides him. ]
Then you are very fortunate indeed. [ Breathless arrogance, how she tosses all many feet of her long, long hair, eyes sharp as the cat mask would suggest. ] I didn't expect to get you free from their nets for at least another hour.
