Where there is Unity Victory Lies Set MusicThe whole world was set with splendor, or in the very least it seemed as such in the massive ballroom of Duke Superior's hold, the music resounding loudly through the whole of the place, sound echoing off the massive vaulted ceilings as the simply extravagant crystal chandeliers illuminated the sight below them. Uncountable numbers of couples spun this way and that, frilled skirts flying and men pacing this way and that with their partners. It seemed something out of a fairy tale, the wide dance floor bracketed on either side by huge dining tables piled high with all varieties of meat, vegetables and desserts that give off the most delectable of aromas. It's all so fanciful as the highest of the high in Ylisse mingle and celebrate their avarice with one another. It seemed the theme for this feast was to be a masquerade party, with all manners of ladies and gentlemen clothed in such extravagant and eye catching garbs, the whole floor a spinning mass of scarlet and purples and emeralds and masks of such workmanship it's quite a fair question to ask whether one would ever wish to take them off. And midst this cacophony of color and waltz, stands the youngest daughter of Duke Superior himself. She's dressed in quite a different attire than normal, her silver armor eschewed for an elegant rich purple gown, made of frills and a brocade that could most likely feel a farmer's family for a whole ten years. Along her neck sits a glittering purple jewel secured by a silver chain, the jewel seems to be inset into a piece of silver jewelry that has the curled antlers of the stag of her family. It seems duke superior is very big on accessorizing his daughter to fit his ego. Even if the pegasus knight turned court schmoozer seems a bit awkward here in the middle of this madness, fending of courtiers with one hand and bachelors with another as quite a few try to get an audience with the silver haired woman. At least she's not her eldest sister, who is currently mobbed by a group of partygoers so large that she is not actually discernible within the crowd. In fact, one can track her movements only by following the pack of people which follow her too and fro like some kind of flock of penguins seeking warmth. This will illicit a roll of the eyes from Victorie as she fights her way towards one of the tables for a breath of air. |

The Pegapony Princess of Love Truth and Justice!
The night was still young and yet, it was time for pleasantries where the household of Superior held a ball of some sort in the grandest of ballrooms. Possibly, some nobles might be there since the rich would always gather here for social meetings. She hadn't been to a party before, much less one held by another noble's family, but she did see it as an opportunity to meet with some of the other nobles her age. Her outfit was entirely different than the dark green school dress she usually wore during the day. Rather, she wore a pink and white frilly ball gown while wearing white opera gloves and a red choker. Needless to say, her siblings were convinced that she was the splitting image of their mother or even better, a fairy tale princess.
Certainly, it was enough to get out more since she was sheltered all her life and having a bodyguard to guard her made it a little comfortable to get outside. Even so, sheltered nobles knew better than to stay cooped up in a mansion all day long and her outings strongly subverted her sheltered demeanor which was an understatement. Walking down the stairs, she was careful not to trip as if to not ruin the image that she presented herself currently. And then, opening the front door, so that the cold night air should greet her outside. The journey shouldn't be too difficult, what with the household of Superior being at the opposite side of Talys. Most likely, there would be potential thieves trying to steal some goods for themselves, but she did have protection all the way through.
And at last, the household came into view and it was where the invitation had stated. She could hear an excellent concert coming from the manor itself and it might've been some violinists playing some songs for the nobility of Superior. Approaching the front door and opening it, she could hear the indistinct voices of the nobles coming from the massive ballroom. And once she made her presence in the ballroom, the nobles turned to stare at the newcomer. Uncomfortable staring aside, she sat down at the nearest table and watched the other nobles dance with each other. She did see a crowd of people surrounding another lady in which they were probably asking her to dance with them.

THIS IS WAR
Dressed in a white shirt under a red vest, with a black tailcoat over the entire set and a matching bowtie to compliment the apparel, Gairovald accompanied Isolde to the party. “Do I look awkward Lady Isolde?” Gairovald asked, questioning his current appearance. In order to draw less attention to himself, to better deal with any assassins hidden amongst the guests, Gairovald opted to dress appropriately for the occasion. Obviously, Gairovald could not carry his usual sword; instead he hid a number of knives and daggers in his outfit. They lacked the same potency as his sword, but were concealable and drew less attention. Overall, Gairovald could pass for a noble in his current appearance. An ironic fact considering his unknown heritage. “I never really did grow accustom to events like these, and I am afraid I only know the basic dance steps.”
Over the years, Gairovald had attended a couple balls as his former mercenary group used them to find jobs, to settle some details over a job, or were hired as guards. Scarlet, the leader of the group, often hid amongst the crowd and taught Gairovald to do the same. However he was just a mere boy back then and simply watched while the other children tried to coerce him into joining them for childish antics.

The Pegapony Princess of Love Truth and Justice!
"Oh no, no. In fact, I think you look handsome." Watching the other nobles dance, she could remember how her father had taught her how to dance. And she did see him dance with her mother a few times at some parties, though she was quite young to be joining them at those social meetings. Possibly, those social meetings that her parents went to had some adult matters that she wouldn't be able to understand at a young age. But, now she was a young woman, albeit a little naive about how matters were handled by grown men and women. Still, her childish demeanor could be taken as very cute for her age and some of the women that she interacted with had said so.
She took note that he seemed to know the basic dance steps, but not the whole dance itself. "And well, I've been taught how to dance by my father. If you like, I could teach you how to." Might be a bit strange to dance with someone who was a bodyguard, but it might help him open up a little.

Where there is Unity Victory Lies Victorie gasped, her hands windmilling a bit as she begins to tip! Oh Naga above she's going to hit the floor! Truly, this dress with it's long tails was a hazard when the woman wearing it was trying to dodge the attention of what seemed to be near every individual in this darn hall! And this would all come to a head when a partygoer accidentally stepped on the skirt, which sent her tripping and stumbling along towards the ground! Yet, she would make one final saving grace, no matter how awfully rude it is.
Indeed, she grabs the shoulder of the rather large snow haired man to her right, putting her whole weight into his back as she smacks into him with a sharp oof. And then cue the awkward grin and tilt of her head as her fingers clutch at his shoulder and back. "... Good Evening my fine Gentleman." She'll remark ever so awkwardly to Gairovald. Well, this was something, but he seemed to be a guard or a servant of some type?
There were certainly worst fates in all the world than being saved by a man servant. She could have taken out the poor girl standing next to him, that probably would have been a little more unseemly. Especially with how she was dressed.
"A-Ah! Where are my manners?" She'll remark with a tittering laugh, her cheeks a bit pink as she brushes her braids back behind her shoulder and bows her head to Sky. "I apologize for that, welcome to my Father's keep, the superior family is happy to serve in any way that we may." She remarks, it's even and practiced. Obviously rehearsed.
