And now all unoccupied eyes were on them.

What else was to be expected?

Rigel had bared his fangs at the son of the first family afterall. Just their conversation alone was sure to draw attention, but presenting Orion with such a hostile display...it had been just the reaction he was hoping for. However-

" Miss Amaya, may I remind you that while my sister's affinity for you grants you some...priveleages...you are not without your limitations. Such remarks as you've just made could cause rumors you know." Not a direct threat per-say, but definitely a warning.

" Now come on. We've so much to discuss, and so little time. Oh- and do loosen up a little, Rigel. This is the night to remember. Let it be filled with joyous laughter and dancing that carries you away into dreamy melodies. "

The pureblood finally seperated himself from Rigel to guide them towards an empty table- the table reserved for the Rosenwald family. If anything, by keeping them in the public eye as he was, he was actively avoiding causing or seen- or rather perhaps he was seeing for how long the Reniers could keep from doing so.

Orion wasted no time in summoning a server over to their table, acquiring a glass of blood-wine for Rigel and sending the half-blood to fetch some refreshments for Amaya.

" So, how are you doing these days, Rigel? Obviously we all know how our ever-capable general is doing with his new promotion, but how are you fairing? Any luck in the world of romance?"

"As we have missed yours. But-" Valentine draped his arm around Marilla's waist, affectionately embracing her from the side. " Convicing our sire to host a dinner party or the like shouldn't prove too burdensome. Be warned that you'll have to put in your meal request ahead of time for me to get the ingredients, 'else you shall have to makedo with whatever is in season." As he spoke, valentine discreetly patted the pocket of his trousers, an attempt to clue Lucas into his intentions with Marilla that night.

Akira caught on quickly enough, but said nothing. She had to school herself to keep the grin off of her face, yes, but thankfully she managed to keep her change in expression to a mere raise of an eyebrow.

It would appear this was going to be a splendid night for Marilla indeed.

" You are already 700 years yourself, correct? They have long since fulfilled any obligations they had in upholding the fourth family's legacy. 'Twould be impudent to presume anything less. At the very least perhaps you could convince them to visit some of the neighboring kingdoms and see the world a bit? Despite our longevity, there's a great many of us who can spend centuries without straying too far from here whatsoever. "

" Do you have any plans to travel outside of Runemeth, Lord Renier? If so then I'd likely to humbly suggest Elkridge as a possible destination. 'Tis quite far, I know, but if you can handle the winters there she's quite a beautiful kingdom. "

"Centuries or not My Lord doesn't mean for sure you twill last longer then me when it comes to dancing. If anything it means you twill tire more easily then I, besides tis my first event like this.", replied the blond as she was twirled about again.

It seemed as though Al wanted to speak about their meeting with Ophelia as much as she wanted to bring it up. It also appeared that both of them were equally well aware that there would be no safe place among their current surroundings to have such a conversation. She had questions after all.

Why did the female Thorn want to meet with them, risk such a conversation with them?

Was she planning something? Possibly taking down Adrian?

If she was planning on taking down Adrian then why? And why did she need or want their help when surely she had more power and experiance then they both did combined?

Just why were Al and she so important to Adrian and his plans?

"Being around this many people isn't quite as much fun as when tis only us. An event like this or not. But I did enjoying meeting your aquantences and of course I do still have you to myself and myself alone. Twas one of my worries.", said Aralynn while trying to not dwell on her uneasiness and many questions. "As for the meal when we return twill be sorely missed I'm sure My Lord. But I believe you're right. The household can make do without one After Progenitor's Ball Meal this time around, especially with the reasoning as to why we twill be going without it for a change. I think everyone will be far too chatty and happy to complain or be sad."
