He was much warmer- his body well aware of the figures pressed up against him. The sky-pirate knew at least he certainly wouldn't be catching a chill as the evening wore on.
Balthier could feel eyes on them as they walked into the ballroom. It was probably a formidable sight, the two gorgeous women on each of his arms. It was the perfect distraction. While the guests of the ball were staring at Kuja and Bela, he would be scanning for valuables. No one would be the wiser, unless either of his escorts picked up on it. He wouldn't be surprised if they had. It was beautiful, the last tools a queen would expect a thief to bring to her ball would be vixens.
The room itself was rather entrancing to look at, if he hadn't been raised amongst the ranks of nobility himself and used to such sights of splendour. The rich costumes twirling to eerily familiar tunes set the perfect scene for a drama. He would pretend they were actors, in the midst of a theatre. He would play the part of the leading man, of course. He wouldn't settle for anything less.
"Private you say? Why Miss Kuja, how intriguing." He winked to Kuja with more than a touch of amusement. They weren't here to simply spin and preen- there were other matters to attend to as well. He was glad to see she was keeping her head about her, not that he had ever doubted.
Already planning a private rendezvous? Bela tried not to glare daggers at Kuja, and kept herself warm by Balthier's side. If anything, she was not going to be left as a wallflower that night. There may have been other men on the dance floor, but Bela had her sights on Balthier and she was not going to give this one up. It was like her job in a way. No matter what, she was going to obtain that magical relic through any means necessary.
"And what shall we be discussing?" She asked innocently before turning her attention to the music. Bela smirked to herself, and grabbed Balthier's hand. "Shall we dance?"
{{So my fellow ball-goers: do we enter the fray? Or more precisely- are we ready to use it as a distraction?
Miss Bela will you come along with us? The Winchesters are already in the fray, so you're welcome to dash off to find them. I'll delete this post and repost a proper reply}}
((We definitely should! And Bela will go with Kuja and Balthier since she is not exactly on good terms with the Winchester boys. They'd more than likely kill her on the spot. X) ))
[]I think we should all act like the self-serving thieves we are and use it as a distraction to acquire some lovely vase's and expensive decorations![]
{{This could be very very advantageous X3 If our lot bumps into yours- does your character have a place to stay? We're going to need a hideout until we manage to find a house for ourselves X3}}
