She had only been a resident of the island for a few days, and already there was a ball being held at the castle. It definitely did wonders for her mood. Bela always enjoyed a nice, fancy party, and what was even better was that she could have any dress she desired for free (Alright, so the charity ordeal annoyed her at first, but free gowns for a castle party -- she could not pass that up).

In her room at the Crimson Dragon, Bela had done up her hair, and slipped on her dress, eager for an exquisite night or drinking and dancing. She figured if the Winchesters and Ruby were planning on slaughtering her at the party, at least she'll be a beautiful corpse.

It also helped to have a dagger in her boot.

Upon arriving at the palace, Bela sauntered toward the entrance hall, spotting many other dressed up people as lost or as enchanted. It still was relatively early in the evening, and Bela did not want to enter a half-empty ballroom.

Lucky for her, she won't be alone.

By the doors was a handsome young man, holding a flower -- possibly for a date as if Bela cared. She walked to his side, and smiled like a predator.

"Waiting for someone?"

Balthier had been lost in his own thought, staring at an expensive vase. It looked like it could fetch a pretty penny, though petty theft was below him. This place was a thief's wonderland- luxurious items ripe for the picking splashed wontonly hither and thither. However, Balthier had experienced his fair share of large game. Paltry items that would barely fuel his ship for a month did little to tempt him... There had to be something rare, exquisitely beautiful, priceless - that it would even tempt his hands.

He saw movement out of the corner of his eye, shifting his gaze to move over her as she spoke. She was quite possibly one of the most beautiful Hume women he had ever seen. Being a Sky-pirate, he had seen quite a few.

"I was." He lifted a dark brow, gazing at her with smoky grey hues and a light smirk playing over his lips. "Might you be Kuja? I brought this for you." He extended a tan hand, the flower clasped loosely between ringed fingers. It was a lily of some sort, he had always enjoyed lilies. Roses were too gauche, and carnations- how tacky!

Kuja must have been this fine man's date. She did not appear to be around though to claim her escort, so it wouldn't hurt to play...pretend for a little while. If she got lucky, the real Kuja won't be able to find them at all, allowing Bela to continue her masquerade in peace; a nice distraction for a final night. Besides, Bela was certain she would be a far better and more entertaining date than his Kuja woman.

She feigned a look of surprise and flattery, taking the sweet lily from his fingers.

"I am. I - I apologize for being late." Bela eyed the flower, finding it rather cute of him to go through all the trouble. Her gaze turned toward the man; sharp and mischievous. "Do you mind helping me with...my hair." She nodded toward the lily in her hands, hoping he was bright enough to get the point.
