Whispering Minstrel The young woman bit down slightly on her lip, chewing in thought as to how best explain it, "Where I'm from, you have your good nobles, and then you have your bad. We're lucky the ones reigning over the kingdom are the good kind, and I have a close friend who is one as well. But the bad...you look at 'em wrong, sneeze, and they punish you harshly. They seem to forget where their power comes from." She gestured in the direction she heard Lucky's voice in and Astraeus had left in, "They seem like the good sort...but in my station you can't be too careful. I had to be sure they weren't the nasty kind...but considering the general light atmosphere right now...I guess my worries were a little silly, hmm?" She lightly shrugged, "I find it better to err on the side of caution if it is uncertain who may be friend or foe. But yes, the Prince and Princess here are kind in nature. What is your station, if I may? A soldier I presume?"

Phantom Anon She lightly shrugged, "I find it better to err on the side of caution if it is uncertain who may be friend or foe. But yes, the Prince and Princess here are kind in nature. What is your station, if I may? A soldier I presume?" She nodded, "Of sorts, one might call it a soldier, guard, defender..." Cid paused as the stone in her earring seemed to pulse with a light inside it, pursed her lips like she was hearing something either annoying or expected, and sighed, blowing a bit of hair up in the process and getting the rest out in a rush, "But we call ourselves Knights back home." She guessed that no matter what finery she wore, she really couldn't hide her own trained behavior.

"You were listening to something just then, weren't you?"

There was a pause once more as Cid turned her head an inch or two toward the spirit's voice, "Listening? No ma'am, the only thing I am listening to is you, the chatter around us, and the music. I was rambling and...well, remembered something my mentor says when that happens. 'Quit yammering brat, get to the point!'...he's a bit...tense..." She snickered quietly after mimicking supposedly her teacher's voice, a rather cool monotone.

After a few minutes, Lucky returned from the hall once more, this time lacking the trays. Well, that was that! She adjusted her silken shawl and smoothed her skirt. Now who to mingle with now...?

The prince made his way about the ballroom, greeting guests and offering pocket squares to those who had yet to receive one. He was making good progress, having managed to both do away with the pocket full his sister had generously stuffed with the ones she no longer cared to hold and cut down on the number Solsi had given him to begin with. He noticed that his movements had been leading him towards the silver haired woman. Years of practice around fellow royalty and the court kept his features calm and composed, yet beyond the outer mask his mind was racing to make sense of the stranger. He knew her from somewhere, he was sure of it. Yet, for some reason he could not recall where. A nagging suspicion came to him that perhaps this was one of the many masked entities that he knew, someone whose face he had seen with the mask on, yet never with it off. Despite that, his instincts said to be on guard. He didn't feel in danger, no, no one here was threatened, he believed. Yet something about her was warning him to stay alert. He approached her as if none of this was going through he mind, smiling warmly. "Good evening," he spoke, bowing in greeting before offering one of the pocket squares. "You do not appear to have one of these yet, my dear. According to our lovely hostesses, they are something of a dress code."

 The mysterious woman still lined the wall, watching with intention the guests as they mingled. She hadn't moved from the spot, not to dance nor to eat, which may have been comforting to suspicious eyes, or it may have just contributed to the suspense. Her posture read like a thoughtful statue, taking it all in. But then, the prince approached. "Good evening. You do not appear to have one of these yet, my dear. According to our lovely hostesses, they are something of a dress code." Up close her height became apparent. Her chin turned in his direction and she blinked. "Is that so?" she asked, words cascading in a velvety accent. She took the little square of fabric and fashioned a limp bow to the corset of her gown. It blended rather well with the design, almost as although it had been there the whole time. "Normally I don't find myself accepting favors such as this. It's a little policy of mine. Though I suppose I can make an exception." Her lips formed something of a smile as the music swelled. "Whoever they are, these hostesses of yours, I hope you relay my praises. I am seeing and hearing things I haven't had the privilege to in a long time." OOC: There aren't a lot of upbeat waltz songs on youtube, it turns out. ^^'

(Mah gawd. This party favor. >:U Thank you!)
So, what was she to do with this "party favor"? It was a small square cloth with a starry pattern printed in the fabric. She also overheard it was part of the dress code. "This place has a dress code?" Clara asks, questioning, with a raised brow."I don't quite recall these events having one, though, this ones my first in my own body." Since she really didn't want to carry it around, the witch was looking for someone to slip it to.

"Oh, I do not mind the ramblings of another." the Phantom comforted, "I enjoy listening to one's tale. Why did you choose to become a knight?" As she spoke, her eyes flicked to the rest of the ballroom. More and more people had come further into the room. Monster appeared eager to get to the refreshment table, which was far from surprising. Astraeus had wandered to the side and was talking to a quiet woman she had noticed some time ago. Kate's companion was staring down at a pocket square and appeared mildly puzzled. The ivory hair woman seemed familiar, but the Phantom still could not discern why.
