Soldier A follows the guardians & remains alert enough to hear any whispering. Just then, a mysterious man comes from somewhere in the room & taps Hay Lin on her shoulder. Man: "Hello, fair maiden. Would you grace me with a dance on this lovely night of celebration?" He smiles at her encouragingly. (Man)

Irma was confused by all the events that unfolded. Miranda entering the room, Will dancing with Cedric and now someone wanted to dance with Hay Hay. Irma approached Hay Lin and the mystery man "Sorry, but we got to go. Bye bye" she said and grabbed Hay Lin in her arm and quickly moved away in the crowd with her.

Hay Lin blinked at the man that had tapped her on the shoulder, not sure how to respond. She had to stay with the others, but didn't want to create a scene. Luckily, Irma saved her from having to reply by pulling her away into the crowd. "Thanks," she whispered. Irma pulling her away hadn't made her seem rude, and now they could look for...whatever they were looking for. Elyon wasn't exactly hiding, but Phobos wasn't here. She wasn't sure which of the siblings they were after right now. Where had Will gone?

(Will isn't dancing with Cedric. The only one's dancing [not counting all the servant/soldier pairings] are Elyon & Vathek.)
Man: "Um, wait! I..."
The two servants move away quickly without giving him a chance to finish. Soldier A starts to follow them, but the man grabs his arm.
Man: "What are you doing?"
Soldier A: "Let go of me, Jarod."
Man: "Don't use that tone with me, Alaric. I can have you demoted. Just answer the question."
Alaric (whisper): "I'm following these five new servants & keeping them out of trouble."
Jarod: "From the looks of it, you've been following them a little too closely."
Alaric (whisper): "No closer than Prince Phobos requires."
Jarod: "Yeah, well... This is a party. There's no way they can cause trouble. Just leave them alone."
Alaric: "But Phobos said..."
Jarod: "I don't care what he said. If those girls need watching, then I'll watch them. You may return to guarding the throne room if that is your wish."
Alaric: "Those are fool's words--they are. Even elite soldiers need to abide by the law of Phobos..."
Jarod: "Yet when the dark prince gives two contradicting orders, I am free to choose which one I obey. And guess what? I choose to enjoy my day of peace."
Alaric: "Suit yourself."
He leaves.
[Alaric: Exit to Throne Room]
The elite soldier turns to watch Hay Lin & Irma.
Jarod: If only Alaric didn't scare them away...

Irma only smiled briefly keeping herself close to Hay Lin. "Where now? I can't see either Will, Tara and Corny in this crowd." she said silently and continued to walk with Hay Lin, as if they were enjoying the party.

Startled from her thoughts, she looks up with a jerk. She quickly glances around her in a 180* as she speaks. Miranda: "Who? What? Where?" *only then does she recognize the knight's voice & looks to see him staring right at her* "Oh...?" *her cheeks go slightly crimson* "Hi." Rarely does the black widow find herself in such situations. Had it been anyone else, she would have immediately sent the unlucky servant to the dungeons for making her look like a fool. But Lord Cedric... Her heart begins to beat rapidly. Unsure of what else to say or what to do, she innocently wraps her hands behind her back & sweetly smiles in his direction. In such a case with Elyon, he would have put on his knight-disguised-as-a-prince smile. But for the black widow he humored her with a simple mannered grin. "Hello, Miranda. Would you like to dance?" He didn't mind dancing much with Miranda. If they weren't cruel servants of Phobos, they'd be the best of friends. He always saw Miranda as a little girl with lots of attitude. But today there was a certain classy demeanor about her, making her a little more mature. Maybe it was the dress. He held his hand out and waited for her to take it, wishing deeply in his heart that it was beautiful, majestic Elyon standing in front of him.

Miranda: He's talking to me! He's actually talking to me! "S-s-sure." *shyly takes his hand with hers* "I'd like that." She continues to smile as she eagerly waits for the humble knight to start the dance.

With a step and a swing, the dance began. Pain prickled at his heart a little, he wished so much that he was holding Elyon's warm, fair-skinned hand. Instead, he ignored the cold, pale hand that held his and twirled Miranda in a full circle just like an Earth romance.
"You're looking lovely today, Miranda," he commented honestly. Admittively, he was impressed.

She twirls with a skill so well that anyone watching would think her a pro. Although she has never danced before, her spider-like agility & her quick-learning ability allow her to gracefully follow the blond knight's lead. Her first dance with Lord Cedric must be perfect. She does her best to impress him for there might not be another chance.
Miranda: "Thanks." *she blushes as he pulls her back to him* "And you look handsome as always."
She smiles happily. Her eyes sparkle in the light as she gazes at the flawless features of his face.

"Can't you reach Taranee by telepathy?" she asked, carrying her whisper to Irma's ear on the wind to avoid attracting unwanted attention. She couldn't see the other three either, and her sense of foreboding was no less for it. Being separated in the middle of the biggest party in evil-ville while Phobos had evil plans for the rebels made Hay Lin's stomach churn, but all she could do was wait. Wait and continue walking like she was just another servant enjoying the ball.

"I'll try" she replied and focused
Taranee, are you there? Taranee, can you hear me?" she said through telepathy and hoped for the best. She glanced around nervously in the room.

"Heh,"' he said with a cool smile. The way her eyes gleamed at him, the enthusiasm in her smile, it made him nostalgic of his Earth life. Of when he first met Elyon. "You're quite the dancer, Miranda. Did you practice before the ball or have you danced before?"
He hadn't expected such grace from someone as agressive and non-feminine as Miranda. Or at least, that was always his perspective. The only times he'd heard her talk is when she was ordering someone around. Now he feel a little guilty as he spun them in a full circle. He remembered his first thought of her. Back then, he was arrogant, stupid, conceded. A true servant of Phobos.
Stupid, ugly brat. She wouldn't be ordering me that way...
He judged her even before talking to her. Just like he had Elyon, at the Halloween party. But he was so different from that now...it seemed like such little time for such a big change...he made a guilty face without trying to conceal it.

Miranda: "No I... Well..." *blushes* "This is my first time."
They finish the circle, then she notices the guilty look on his face.
Miranda: "Is...? Is something wrong?" *glances in Elyon's direction* "I-if I... Am I causing..." *looks away as jealous thoughts cause a tear to fall down her cheek* "I didn't mean to distract you from her." ___________ Jarod tries to locate Cornelia, Will & Taranee without losing sight of the other two guardians.

Oh no! he thought with even more guilt. "It's got nothing to with her, don't worry."
He twirled her once more. "You're a natural, Miranda."
Out of pure sympathy, he turned her face and wiped the tear of her cheek.
