Welcome to Gaia! ::

She closed her eyes, bored at the moment. These were all childish games, after all why was she helping him? To gain his trust. Simple as that but it didn't mean she had to enjoy it. Natalia wasn't one to meddle with love affairs, she preferred to stay away form them in general. It was obvious that she didn't have a choice here. Hearing his question, she smiled a bit. Natalia had manners and she knew how the rich ate, even thought it was rather annoying. She wasn't messy though, since that would mean she would have to clean it up at home. Having the profession that she did meant she also had to be like an actress on the side.

"I have manners." she answered in a bored tone, knowing that the question had been masked to ask that. Setting down her fork, she watched as they set down the food in front of her. Finally, she thought, some real food. Of course she held herself back, she had something to uphold. They also poured fine wine into the glasses. Her lips tightened slightly, did they want everyone to be drunk by the end of the evening? She didn't say anything though as she took a small bite of mash potatoes into her mouth. The small murmurs were getting to her. They all were having their own conversations and she noticed that the girl across from him was eying him with a sweet smile. Natalia almost rolled her eyes as she swallowed. At least there was dancing after this, that was the only thing she was looking forward to at the moment and that made her trip worth it.

She simply shrugged in return. "Like everyone else I would guess." she answered his question. She never really paid attention to peoples diets, it was like invading their privacy in a way. She turned her head away from him and caught the the piece of salad the girl and threw at her in a swift movement in her hand before crushing it. "Don't try that again." she said with a sweet smile. The girls looked slightly shocked that she actually said something to them and that she had caught it in the first place. The quickly became silent and turned to their meals.

She ate the food in a slow pace, savoring it. She didn't know when the next time would be when she actually got a good meal. Perhaps a snack here and there but that was about it. Swallowing, she was getting rather sick of the girls, she didn't know how he could stand them for so long. Yes, she wasn't exactly the patient type when she didn't have to be but nonetheless she stayed in her seat, glancing at other people around the table. She had a feeling that someone here was keeping an eye on her progress but she didn't know who it was yet. The person was quite good in keeping themselves hidden from her observant eyes.

Natalie almost ignored Jaden's question but then she decided to answer it. He didn't need to know everything, for example her killing people, but she could give him a little insight. "Dance, rebel, fight for what I believe in.." she paused for a moment. "I draw. I also love to go to the wilderness. So I pretty much do anything that's worth my time." she added before sighing. If she could only go away for a while and do whatever she wanted, whatever she liked. She had orders though, orders what couldn't possibly be ignored or rejected. Finishing what was on her plate, she leaned back in her chair, her posture still good though as it always was.

((I'm sorry it took me so long >.< Don't hate me.))

Well she could argue about the petty part but she didn't feel like telling him her life story. Leaning back in her chair slightly, she let her brown curls fall back as well as she sighed. Music was playing in the background by a band. She could hear the piano as well. "What do you do for fun?" she asked him, since he hadn't answered his own question yet. Natalie wasn't that curious to be honest but it was something to do for now as she waited for the time to pass.

She laughed lightly when he asked if they girls had offended her. "No." she told him with a smile as she looked over at him. "It was a piece of lettuce for crying out loud. Now if they put a gun against my head and started insulting me, that would be a different story." she told him in a low voice. Natalie honestly doubted that they could do something to offend her, but they would try, she knew that much. She blinked when a hand appeared on her shoulder and the other reached out for her hand. "Would you like to dance?" it was a familiar voice. Tilting her head to the side, she tried to see the man's face but the shadow of his hat covered it. Her lips parted slightly, surprised when she figured out who it really was, though she couldn't afford to lose her cool. "Of course." she said with a smile. "Excuse me, Jaden." she told him as she looked at the young heir. Her boss pulled the chair back and took her hand lightly, leading her away from the table as she glanced over her shoulder to look at Jaden once more.

She would feel his hand going to her back as he stood in front of her. "Falling for him?" he whispered into her ear, his warm breath washing over her neck as she snapped her head to look at him, her fierce eyes staring into his own. "Don't be absurd." she said in a low voice. "Good." he told her as he suddenly leaned down, making her do the same before pulling her back up harshly, her curls flying as her fingers gripped his shoulder and he spun them around. "Since when do you dance?" she asked him, not exactly happy that he was here at the moment. Her eyes moved over to look over at Jaden over the man's shoulder. She didn't know his name.. but neither did anyone else.

((Sorry, I kept forgetting about this and whenever I remembered I was always busy. I can post if you would like to continue this roleplay.. ))

((Alright, I'll put up a response as soon as I can.))

She really hoped that Jaden would have the guts to pull her out of this mess because she certainly didn't want to go anywhere that she hated with a passion. Pushing the man back, she didn't get very far since he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, making it all look like a dance move. He annoyed her to no end. "You really should show more of your feminine side so that our Knight in shining armor could come save you, find feelings for you, and so forth." he had to be joking, or at least she seriously hoped he was. What was she supposed to do? Marry him? Yeah.. no.

"Is this another one of your sick jokes?" she asked him doing her best to move out of his arms by now but it all ended up looking like some kind of tango between angry lovers to the audience which continued for several minutes or so between it finally stopped when they both were at a stalemate. Taking in a deep breath of air, she narrowed her eyes at him. They silently agreed to move away from each other and after that Natalie moved to Jaden, grabbing a glass of water that wasn't too far away from him and drinking some of it. Of course she could invite him to dance, it would be interesting to get to know him that way.



((Sorry life got extremely hectic for me after I posted that and things have kind of just started settling down just now ))

Looking over at Jaden, she shrugged. "No." she almost shivered at the thought of him being her escort though she would probably spend every moment trying to kill him so that she could get her freedom back. She was still on the mission of killing the rich son. The man was smart but she knew he wouldn't figure out the puzzle anytime soon and over time it would become more complex.

People had started dancing again, though it was more of a waltz, nothing fiery or passionate. It was rather dull for an assassin.. but as her role of a sophisticated woman, perhaps she should find it interesting. "I'm sure you'll find out who he was in due time but meanwhile would you care to dance?" she smiled at him. "I promise to go easy on you." she joked lightly, referring to her performance from a few minutes ago.


((>< Yeah, I know it's been a while.. don't know if you still want to post but yeah. ))
