Armond had straightened up by the time more people arrived, deciding it was time for him and Murasame to depart back to the stage, he had been looking forward to the dance after all. "Of course, Lady Veragwen, I will arrange to have the payments made once I return to the castle. Come now, Murasame, let us return to the stage and enjoy ourselves." he said. Murasame nodded, giving one final look at Kest, she couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity somehow. She followed Armond as he led her back to the stage, eventually the pair coming to a stop as the man had bumped into someone. Peering around him, she noticed another mergirl like her. Murasame recognized her as the girl pulled up on stage earlier, it seemed they had missed her dancing after all. Armond was looking down at the girl, offering his hand to help her back to her feet once more, "I apologize, I should have watched where I was walking, are you alright?" he asked her. After a few moments, he realized who she was, "Your name is...Mara, right? I overheard your name earlier, it's a shame I wasn't able to see you dance, I was looking forward to seeing such a beauty as yourself up there. Oh well, perhaps another time, yes?" he suggested, smiling kindly. Murasame had moved away again, she was clearly not enjoying the fact Armond was paying this other girl so much attention.
Once the song of the Red Eye Dragon began again, he turned to look at the stage, "One of my favorites, it contains the essence of the dragon's firey spirit, suitable for the start of a festival in my opinion." he began. He turned his attention back to her, "However, it is not my absolute favorite of the songs. Out of them all, it is the White Silver Dragon's song I enjoy most, and I will explain to you why. The feeling the song portrays is significantly different from the others, and I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that the White Silver Dragon's song was created by none other than Dart's beloved Shana. If you listen to it as closely as I have, you can tell there is plenty of feeling in the song, almost as if Shana is expressing her own feelings of love to Dart. She loved him with everything she had, even after all they went through together. I do not know about you, Miss Mara, but I would give everything to be loved the way Shana loved Dart." he finished, finally looking away and back at the stage.
