That made her pause, and for a moment Aara could not think or breathe. Her neck gracefully arched so she could look at him, really look at him, and see if he was having her on. He was not from her Clan, however. Did his words mean someone outside of her clan could view her as a woman, instead of an odd foundling who was much too pale to ever be accepted, despite her heritage ( ... )

"Four-hundred..." She stared. Did that mean he was really that old? "My people age differently from humans as well. Are you truly that age? You must have experienced a lot in your lifetime."

Tilting her head to one side, she scrutinized him. She didn't know if she believed that. He could probably have as many dances as he wished. She certainly doubted any would turn him down. "You do not seem the kind to be turned down for dances." A tiny smile meets her lips. "Though I am honored to be one of those you will dance with."

"Could have killed you?" Her brows draw together in a frown. She was about to say more when his following words draw her attention. She grinned. "Can you look at me and tell I am something other? That I am angha? Or is it still not working clearly?" A blink, and then: "I am not afraid of you." It was simply said. She hoped it would make him feel more comfortable.

A pause. She considered that.

"Would you? It is a possibility, even if that possibility is very slight?"

"Yes, give or take a bit more time added on to that." He replied. "I'm technically ageless and it depends on my vessel if I want to be young or old."

He nodded in response to her statement about experience, but wouldn't mention it. Since the conversation where he mentioned he was tortured got awkward.

"You never know with strangers." He commented before smirking again. "It was my pleasure."

""Yes, but as you can see, I'm still alive." A brief exhale interrupted his words. "...Normally, I would be able to tell if you were a dragon, but as you said: its not working properly."

He took her comment about not being afraid of him in to consideration. Chuckling a little bit and lowering his head, bringing a hand to rest on the edge of the chair.

"Maybe, but I have it in check." Most of the time. "Unlike someone else I know or I'm exposed to it again."

To hold so many experiences... so much time. Aara watched him with the beginnings of awe ( ... )

As Aara started to ask several questions, Sandrath couldn't help but chuckle lightly ( ... )

A hand clenched at Aara's side as she swallowed thickly. She had never thought of that--loving someone who could easily get hurt. Someone who was not angha. Now that she left her Clan, what would she do? A humorless laugh leaves her, despite the fact that Sandrath was so near. She had been right all along. Love wasn't for her. Not this lifetime. She wondered why--if she had known all along--she still felt so sad ( ... )

"Surprisingly, but it might not help that when we meet, he's usually in a state of withdrawl." He stated with a deeping frown, he hated discussing about that hybrid.

"Thanks for having some faith in me." He replied. "...I've been told that as well from another, around that time when those pumpkins started talking."

He had no reply for the statement regarding strengths and weaknesses. He retracted his hand from her side and took a few steps away.

"Perhaps another time."

Clasping a hand to her chest, Aara clearly looked worried, if not a little guilty.

"Did I say something wrong?"

She couldn't help but think his deep frown and retracted hand meant he was pulling away from her. If he didn't want to speak, that was fine with her. She didn't wish to upset him, however.

"No." He stated clearly. "I just don't want to ruin a wonderful evening, that's all."

She considered that silently, watching him with pale eyes before she finally nodded.

"Okay."

She moved toward him, then pauses, hands twisting in the material of her vibrant dress.

"Shall we attempt to finish that dance?" She smiled up at him, suddenly feeling somewhat nervous for asking. "Or--I could get you something to eat or drink?"

He exhaled for a moment before turning around with a grin on his lips. He appeared to be back to normal.

"I don't require food or drink, normally." He informed before winking. "Of course we can finish that dance."

Without any further words, he looped his arm around hers and stood close.

She wondered about that. She also wondered if he would need food at the Keep, since things worked differently here than normal. When Sandrath suddenly moved closer, looping his arm through hers, Aara blushed lightly and found she was holding her breath. With a soft exhale, she smiles, finding her muscles relaxing at his change in nearness. She supposed it would take a while to understand him. For the moment, she would enjoy herself and dance.

He lead them back to the dance floor and placed his hands where they needed to be for the dance. He made sure to be slow but elegant with his moves, making sure Aara wouldn't fall behind or look bad.

At least, he didn't have to think too much while dancing. He was grateful for that.
