The dance hall
[color=darkblue:21nki0ih]Darius smiels all around him, watching the shape of the festivities starting to take treu shape now as everyone starts to enjoy themselves. He frowns a bit as Rift walks over to Tiana, asking her to dance, not knowing how the firey young woman will react to so direct an approach, even one as disembling as this.
Tiana turns to face the man boldly, looking him up and down as if sizing him up for something, then a flush creeps into her face. [i:21nki0ih][b:21nki0ih]Sorry about that noble sir. In my former life, before Darius found me and helped me out of trouble,[/b:21nki0ih][/i:21nki0ih]she looks over to the drow male at this point, a look of love and respect coming into her eyes, [i:21nki0ih][b:21nki0ih]When a man appraoched me, it was for more than just a dance.[/b:21nki0ih][/i:21nki0ih] She lays her small arm gently over his long one and smiles at him, the blush still in her face as she accepts his arm and offer of a dance.
Darius winces at first, noticing the bold look that Tiana gives Rift, then smiles as hte manners he has been teaching her surface, nodding his head in approval at her acceptance. Turning back to the table, he meets the orcan womans eyes, [i:21nki0ih][b:21nki0ih]Care for a dance m'lady? I've studuied the tribal dances of your people, and will be more than happy to accompany you if you so wish it.[/b:21nki0ih][/i:21nki0ih] His eyes rove once more over everyone, and he nods to the drow woman with the human, offering her a gentle smile and a formal nod of greeting.[/color:21nki0ih]

[font=garamond:2ybjeb9b][i:2ybjeb9b][b:2ybjeb9b][color=green:2ybjeb9b]The orc woman's dark red eyes widen as she looks into the Drow's face with utter amazement. Tossing her thick wooly black mane over one shoulder with hearty peals of deep, ominous laughter, she replies to his inquiry in her native tongue.
"I will give you privilage of dance with me, only to amuse me, of course."
She tosses aside the rack of ribs she is eating from and accepts Darius's hand. A broad, wide-toothed grin speads over her grey-green face.
" Drow dancing with orc! Ha! Papa not hear of it!"
She suddenly switches to speaking in common.
" Musicians! Play something good with rythym and beat!"
The orc raises readily from her table. Her bellowing voice booms over the sound of the music as if to address the other patrons.
"The world belongs to dance. He who does not dance shall never understand the flow of life!"
Her large, deep red eyes seem to be focusing on some unseen source and directing her consciousness through change in her physical behavior. The large orc woman assumes a more humble grace in stance and bodily gesture, concentrating her energies into fluid movements difficult for the untrained to master.

When called 'noble sir', Rift quietly and as politely as possible interjects, "Please, none of that. I am simply Rift." He then nods solemnly at hearing her words, "A life on the streets can be rough," he intones, a bitter set to his face as he unmistakably recalls his own experiances. "I assure you, I simply wish to share a dance with you," he adds with a reasuring smile.
As she takes his arm, Tiana may feel the form of throwing knives wraped around Rift's forearm. Evidently even in such a safe seeming place he is unwilling to go anything close to being unarmed.
He leads her to the dancefloor, then begins to lead in a dance as he had seen the Drow whom was dancing with Illiam do. At first he seems rather bad at it, yet he soon gets the idea of it and gains confidence, and his skill improves suprisingly.

The vampire finsihes his wine and stands up. "If you will excuse me lass?"
He walks over to Lillith. "May I have the pleasure of a dance dear Lady? It would be easier to instruct if you had a partner."

the keep
[color=darkblue:1svf0689]Darius chuckles at her words then speaks back in flawless orc, [i:1svf0689][b:1svf0689]Ah yes, how strange it would be for your father to hear of you dancing with a drow, or for that matter even thinking of it.[/b:1svf0689][/i:1svf0689] As she stands and calls out to the musicians, moving toward the dance floor Darius follows, noticing that for an orc she has very graceful and fluid movements, unlike most of the bulky creatures who are just menacing and straightforward.
After a moment the musicians begin a tribal beat and the wild shrilling of the flutes and other instruments involved in orcan songs. Darius begins to slowly turn, his feet stamping down with the beat, adding a hop or his own different twist to the normal form of the orcs tribal dance. At one point he even walks over and takes her rather large yet delicate hands in his and leads her through a few steps in a dance that he has been working on to this particular type of music. The dance consists primarily of a simple circling motion where the two are locked in embrace, flowing through the steps of the seperate dancing style, moving in perfect unsison together, almost a challenge to others skill one would say.
After a moment of this the drow backs off a bit and gives her freedom of movement once more, allowing both of them to conitnue in the wild abadoned form of danicng.
Tiana smiles as Rift introduces himself, asking not to be called "noble sir" and walks with him to the dance floor. A small chuckle escapes her lips when they first start dancing, then turns to a laugh of pure and utter joy as his skill improves over the course of the dance. At the end of their dance gives the young man a polite kiss on the cheek, [i:1svf0689][b:1svf0689]That was really nice. Maybe we can do this again later.[/b:1svf0689][/i:1svf0689] A slow flush creeps into her face at her words, not knowing if she's being to forward with Rift or not.[/color:1svf0689][/b]

Lilith looks the vampire over with cautious eyes.
"I will take the ring upon your hand to mean you no longer..imbide.I shall dance with you.But I wish to ask you some questions, and , perhaps, explain my early actions to you."
She replies, then dips down in a deep curtsy and extends her clawed hand.

The vampire bows and accepts Lillith's hand, not seeming to mind the claws. He smiles at the orcish music. "Reminds me of home." He leads her in an energetic folk dance. "You need not apologise for or explain your actions earlier, I often meet people who have had bad experiences with my kin. At least you did not cut off my head, put a stake through my heart or give me a liberal shower of holy water. I have had much worse treatment from far less comely company."

She dances well, able to switch styles quickly with a fluid grace.
"Your kind and mine have long been enemies.I have been attacked by several and have been hard pressed to excape. We are immune to the taint that your blood can cause , but our blood is ..special ..to you.From what I have seen our blood gives you a jolt of energy and power, temporary , but highly addictive.Many vampires would long to keep us as 'pets' for this. So you see why I am frightnened of you, though I must add we have more in common than you might think."
She smiles then, showing her fangs.

The vampire does not blush as he has no biological reflex to do so, but it is obvious from his manner that he would be if he could. "I said there was no need to explain and there wasn't." He says quietly. "I am, familiar with yours' and my kins' special "relationship." And I am unfortunately deeply familiar with the effects of it." His voice peters off.

She smiles again, the promising type of smile that can make a mans blood race, if his blood is capable of doing so.
"It says a lot for you ,sir, that you know what it can do and still refrain from injuring me.I applaud your strength and will make you an offer. If you will tell me your tale, for I find I am very intrigued to know how you have managed to fight the beast within, then I shall tell you mine."

The vampires face tightens. "It is not a pleasant story, or one that I relish telling. But I shall tell you of my life if you wish it." After the dance he leads Lillith to an empty table so that they will not be overheard.

[color=darkblue:3ibroetf]As the dance concludes, and the orcan woman claps him on his back, Darius smiles a sad smile at her having to go. H espeaks out as she goes with the guards, [i:3ibroetf][b:3ibroetf]You're welcome back here any time it pleases you m'lady. Bring a few of your friends with you as well, then we can have some real fun.[/b:3ibroetf][/i:3ibroetf]
He then walks back over to the table and looks to the lycanthrope again, a slight smile on his face, [i:3ibroetf][b:3ibroetf]Are you sure you don't want to dance, I could make it worth while for you.[/b:3ibroetf][/i:3ibroetf] After questioning her again, he pours himself another glass of wine from his bottle and sits sipping it slowly,[/color:3ibroetf]

As Tiana laughs at him at first, Rift looks slightly abashed at his lack of skill. An automatic grin comes to Rift's features as Tiana kisses him and thanks him for the dance. "That would be most enjoyable, and who knows, maybe next time I won't be almost tripping over myself."
