Emerson watched as Scarlett got up and left the table. Was it something he had done? He didn't know why she had left and he had half a mind to go after her, especially with a killer on the loose. He glanced at Tanya, who seemed uncomfortable. This all made Emerson feel uncomfortable and powerless because he couldn't change the situation.

Tanya glanced at each person in the table and watched Scarlett leave. Coming here was probably a bad idea...I don't think she likes me. Oh, I don't know. Nothing's making sense right now.
"Hi," Tanya said to no one in particular. "I'm Tanya. Tanya Allers." This time she looked at the man that she was all so curious about.

"I'm Lacey! Pleased to meet you." Lacey stood up and got another teacup filling it half way up with tea.

Without really saying a word Garret found himself to be rather uncomfortable with the amount of attention drawn to himself at the moment. Mainly because of the amount of people making a racket at his table. He stood up from his chair while tilting his hat down, threw his trench coat around him once again and walked away from the table. He exited the ballroom with just enough time to hear the large doors close to the outside. Bypassing his original intension on going upstairs to relax for a moment, he made his way to the front doors. Opening the doors he took a few steps outside and found his attention turned to Scarlett. Walking rather calmly and gracefully to her area and leaned against the half wall in front of the house made a small pedestals. "Needed to get away too hm?" He asked.

Emerson gaped. Finally he shook his head in dismay and turned back to Tanya. "Well, that was entirely fruitless. I apologize," he said with a rueful smile. He wondered if the man was with Scarlett and what was going on between the two of them, but he didn't want Tanya to feel awkward or uncomfortable and she was already very quiet.

Scarlett jumped, startled out of her reverie by Garret's sudden appearance. She looked away from the multitude of stars in the heavens above and turned to watch him. "Yes, I did," she replied with a hint of amusement in her voice. "It was getting rather . . . crowded. I'm assuming you took your leave for the same reason?"
By crowded she actually meant that the scene at the table had turned into a right fiasco, though she had far too much decorum to say that. Cups shattering, tea spilling, complete ignorance of social customs, and Emerson Chandler with a younger girl who seemed too nice to be in his company. Then there was the matter of the murder. Truth be told, Scarlett was overwhelmed and a touch irritated. She fanned at her flushed face with her hand a few times before letting her arm drop to her side.

Garret nodded to answer her question. "I don't mind people, or being around people for that matter. Doesn't mean I want unnecessary attention drawn to myself." He spoke somewhat sternly this time. He turned his back to her to lean on the half wall to stare out into nowhere.

"Well, Tanya and Emerson, If the police aren't coming tonight, I say we take a step forward in this murder and figure out who it is for ourselves." Lacey looked back and forth at Emerson and Tanya for approval.

((I giggled at the "too nice to be in his company" part in Ella's post. ;]])) Tanya frowned. She was clearly disappointed and frustrated. All that awkwardness for nothing. She hadn't even been able to take a look at the face of the "cloaked man." She ignored Emerson's apology. She groaned and lay her head in the palms of her open hands. She sighed and looked up at Emerson with a look that asked, "What now?"

Scarlett watched him passively for a moment with no response before turning her gaze heavenwards again. She closed her eyes, trying to run through all the possibilities in her mind. She still had much more to unravel

He remained silent for a moment considering the situation he was now in. Wrong place, wrong time... again. Always seemed to work out that way for him unfortunately. "Should have just gone home." He said mostly to himself. He exhaled heavily once only to find that he was beginning to see his breath outside. "So whats your story, if you don't mind me asking?" He asked in a rather soft spoken tone.

Emerson looked at Tanya, smirking at the expression on her face. He stood from his chair and extended his arm. "Do you want to sit at the windows?" he asked Tanya.

Tanya stared at Emerson's hand and took it. "Alright," she said in a bored voice but she was actually really pleased. She raised herself from her seat and let Emerson lead her to one of the windows.

Lacey sat alone at the table. Damn... this is why i never come down here. She thought to herself. She stood up from the table and yelled. "I freaking hate this place!!" She flew up the stairs and into her room slamming the door behind her.

Scarlett considered the question. She sighed, looking away from the stars and gazing straight ahead into the darkness of night. She answered hesitatingly, weighing her words as she spoke them. "My story? I'm starting to wonder if I've even got one," she said truthfully. Scarlett wrapped her arms around her slim body as she spoke, unwilling to go inside despite the chill. She fell silent then, still staring unseeingly into the dark with misty, distant eyes.
