"That 'fiance' of yours...what's-his-name. He's supposed to be here, right? I wonder which mask he is. I wished I would've known ahead of time, then we could avoid him better."

Catarina sighed, "Yes unfortunately mother and father saw fit to invite him here despite my vehement protestations." Looking around anxiously Catarina hoped she would not have to meet him.

"Ah, ladies, how fortunate that I come across you once again! Would one of you care to dance?"
Had there only been on of them, he might have used a cheesy line like 'obviously we are fated to be together', or something, but it would have sounded odd with both of them there.

"Well, you did a marvelous job with the ball. The guest look content and impressed!"
*Rhea ducks as she nearly collides with a man with a mask like a hummingbird, it's beak nearly about to poke her eye out.*
"Jeez!"
*Then she see the vampire from before.*
"Hmmmm, what do you think Catarina?"

"Hm, I'm not sure I'm up for a dance just yet, I have to go talk with the band anyways. Why don't you dance with him Rhea? I'm sure he'll be a gentleman." Catarina narrowed her eyes at the vampire with that last statement.

"Ah, forgive me. Obviously I'm not used to having a nose this long. It's a bit awkward at points. Like now."
Marco was, of course, polite enough to step back so that he wasn't in the woman's face.

"Ah, no. It's not your fault."
*Rhea gave a small smile. She felt awkward at being left alone. It wasn't everyday that she was by herself and not with Catarina.*

"Well, shall we dance, signorina?"
Marco extended a hand to the woman, but didn't press the issue. If she didn't want to dance, then he was sure he could find someone who would.

Catarina walked over to the band to talk about the music selections and then wandered around the room greeting and mingling with the guests who, to her relief, did not seem to recognize her. She felt bad about leaving Rhea alone with the young stranger but she knew that Rhea could handle herself and who knows she might actually enjoy a dance.

"Sure, why not?"
*If she could handle combat, she could handle this. Also, this way, she could move about the room and keep an eye on Catarina. She gave him her hand.*
"By the way, I'm Rhea, and you are?"

"Eh... Marco. Ladies first, you lead."
He saw no harm in giving out his real name. After all, he was still fairly unknown. There was a chance that she may have heard of one of the noble's new converts, who was apparently not from the stock that one would expect a nobleman to feed from. Still, there was no reason for her to draw the connection.

*She nodded to him. Taking his hand, she lead him a little off of the center, closer to the band. She didn't want to draw too much attention for fear that the Rosati family would discover her out of uniform, away from Catarina and dancing with a guest.*

Marco also didn't want to attract too much attention. After all, even if the Rosatis didn't care that he was here, Lord D'Angelo would. So, like a petulant teenager, Marco had snuck out and gone to the ball with the intention of wooing some pretty girls, and hopefully pulling off the one thing that no man had ever been able to accomplish: a royal pantie raid. Unfortunately, that was out of the question now, but he could still woo the signorinas.

'Come one come all, the new sensation, guarantees then obligations, spotlights follow every single move; basking here on ten foot stages, pouty lips and oh-so-jaded, all as if we have something to prove... Despite these petty fortunes we still can't afford a life...*' Gavin Ezekiel Wingate let his voice die opff singing under his breath as he stepped in through the massive carven-wood doors to the Ballroom of the Rosati Castle. It was not his place to mock the lifestlye of the Venetian elite, not when he had been so graciously invited to this party by the Rosati family. Not when he had lost himself in it so thoroughly this past year... He straightened his shoulders and stepped into the ebb and flow of the ballroom, slipping around the periphery of whirling dancers. He watched as a man in a hummingbird mask (he thought) who seemed a bit out of place tried to chat up a woman in an elegant dress who seemed as uncomfortable as her opposite number did misplaced. He watched as a stunning young lady with flowing hair and an elegant dress stepped lightly to the musician's stage and began to converse lowly with a musician. She's gorgeous, Gav thought to himself, and slowly strode across the floor on an intercept course for the young lady.

*As if sensing something, Rhea turned to see a figure watch Catarina like a hungry tiger. Rhea knew that look very well, many a man had tried to pull it off on Catarina, but was typically shot down. Dare she break off her dance with Marco and charge to her lady's side? Nah, Rhea was certain that Catarina could handle herself, and if not, she would deal with the overconfident vampire.*
