 Despite being asked to help hand out pocket squares, Laney wandered off to the refreshment table for some punch. Jessie spoke way too quietly for anyone to hear her, and a couple of times she saw someone out on the dance floor she thought she recognized. The woman had a bright orange dress and shimmering blue hair, but she could only catch glimpses through the crowd. "Psh, typical." Danny snorted, now off on her own. Naturally they'd leave her to all the work. How hard was it to hand out a couple of party favors? She was determined to get it done as soon as possible. Just as fate would have it, three newcomers came in through the doors. Instantly she was in front of them. "Complements of the house." she stated in a completely apathetic tone. She handed Mo and Lewis each a large stack of pocket squares. Then she unloaded some on Nate. "Here. Take this. Don't ask why." she blurted out before realizing who it was.

Whispering Minstrel The belled girl smiled up at Clara, the spark of her temper cooled after calming down. Though something seemed to be up with her conversation companion, the edge to her voice in going from the lightness during their game to this stern sounding tone...apparently something had put up Phantom's defenses. "Nice to meet you Clara," Cid replied with the same bow she had given to the Prince and the spirit. She cocked her head to the side as she straightened, "I guess...maybe she's heard tale about you Phantom? RandomKate Judging by Cid's body language, she clearly started off things in the right direction. Well, right from her perspective. She wasn't sure about the Phantom just yet. A little more time and she will know. The white haired young woman faces her and gently grabs her dress from each side, slightly raising it in a curtsy. However, it was a bit awkward for her. This was the first time she has done it, so she was only basing it from watching Kate and her interaction at parties and dances. "It's nice to meet you, Cidri. My name is Clara," she spoke, looking back at the ghostly woman. "As for you, I know who you are, Phantom dear~"(( I have jury duty today. Replies will be nonexistent until evening ))

(You poor brave soul.) She shakes her head. "No tale. We've encountered each other many times, although, under different circumstances." Placing the party favor on the table, she starts thinking. "Hmm... I did go by a different "name" before I could remember my actual name," she replies, glancing over at Kate as if giving a hint to the Phantom. The witch wasn't going to reveal her identity that easy, but was hoping this would be a clue for her.

The little blue elf was having a marvelous time dancing. At the same time she kept having this slight feeling of eyes upon her. Probably silly, anyone might be giving passing glances to those dancing. Still she couldn't quite shake the feeling and cast looks over Nef's shoulder to see if she saw anyone looking back she might know. Perhaps she would ask Nef in a moment if he had the same feeling. For now she'd just look and enjoy her dance.

(Agreed on the poor soul. I have yet to be sent for it.) "You were an amnesiac?" Cid asked, missing the subtle clues the witch was giving Phantom. That was the bad thing about being a stranger to these lands. She knew absolutely nothing about anyone...and was a little overwhelmed that so many oddities knew each other. A ghost, royals, a dragon, a speed creature...what else was going to surprise her this night?

The knight seemed to stiffen at Phantom's guess. What had she said about 'own form'? What was she implying. That this Clara, this witch? didn't have her own previously? "Phantom, Madam...what do you mean..." It didn't make sense, she couldn't...she couldn't feel...was this different? The earring seemed to flash again of it's own accord as her hand went to the place her skirt parted, as if preparing for an attack.

(Oh gawd. RIP! Let's take a moment of silence to remember our friend.) Clara faces Cid and smiles. "I guess you can say-" Halting mid-sentence upon hearing the Phantom, she chuckles. "Ding ding! Looks like I made that hint way too easy for you, Phantom dear~" The laugh was short as she watches her form wavers. She blinks. "That's a story that can wait after the party, right? Right now you should focus on your own form. You are becoming more transparent than usual."

As Phantom mentions Cid, her attentions turns to her. Her motion appears to be one ready to attack. "Woah. Easy," she said, eyeing the hand's location. "I have no intention in harming anyone."

Phantom Anon Your abrupt motion drew her attention immediately. "Easy, Cidri. Whatever it is that you hunt, it is not here. Clara's soul was once bound to Kate. By some means, it seems the two are now separated." (( crying )) The hand dropped as if in shock, something was not registering, almost like she couldn't believe what she had heard. The earring was shining brilliantly now, and Cid lifted her other hand to cover it absently with her hair. "...how..." she asked hoarsely, "You mean to tell me...the one named Kate, over there...and this woman...were bonded? She is her own? They both lived after separation? Clara is living? She didn't drain her host of life and walk in her flesh?" The knight's voice was shaking, but there seemed to be something else besides incomprehension in her tone. It sounded like hope.

"Oh, I've been up to this and that." There's a brief moment where it looks like his grin is faltering before it's back, "Have you been playing ribbons alone?"

Radiant Anon Solsi  The woman slipped her fingers into Astraeus' hand and smiled a very faint, delicate smile, like the kind you would find on a porcelain doll or an antique painting. "Trying to compete with my memories? I shan't be easy, you know how romanticized the past can get." It was a gentle teasing, the likes of which he was probably used to by now. She followed him out to the middle of the floor just as the current song began to fade. Her height competed with his, though he was the obvious victor. However, her heels made them almost able to see each other perfectly eye-to-eye. "Although," she said in the brief silence, "You are working with a slight advantage, given the present is in the here and now." The music began anew, and the two waltzed across the glistening tiles. Her steps followed his in perfect sequence and rhythm, eyes never once leaving his face. It were as if this stranger before him was raised in a ballroom. The mystery of such precision was undermined only by a genuine sparkle in her eye. "You're awfully light on your feet." she remarked as they glided along to the band. "Even if you are covered in dust." She released his shoulder a moment, pulled his personal pocket square from his coat, and brushed a small puff of stardust off his uniform for him. As he led her in a spin the small cut of fabric fluttered between her fingers like an aerial ribbon. OOC: Get it? Dancing with the stars? Link pun. XD he replied. He was surprised at her height, even with the heels. Human women were not typically this tall. Was she human? He tucked that into his bank of information and questions he had regarding this woman. He was starting to create a picture, and he was starting to suspect. But no, he did not have enough to make such an assumption quite yet. At least not aloud. "And perchance the present cannot outshine the past, it can at the least provide another memory to be romanticized. Though I suppose you are right, this dust can cause a hindrance in the atmosphere." He reached up with his hand and brushed the mark on the fluttering pocket square. The shimmer of the stardust she wiped away seemed to vanish, leaving what remained matching the design on the fabric. He dipped her after with ease. "You are quite the dancer. Have you done this often?"[[All them puns. Btw, Methinks he's on to her]]

(We are gathered here to remember our friend, taken away by jury duty.) Her gaze drifts off in a different direction. The witch frowns in thought. "I did not choose to have my own body. Once she had found the spell, knowing the limited time the child had left, I chose to end things without such luxury. Her mother had other plans, however..." She sighs. She lowers her voice for the next part. "Kate didn't walk away free, however. The contract basically had me leeching at her life in order to grow stronger. I still have that strength while she's stuck with a shorter lifespan. Possible ten to twenty years at best."
