Daphne
Eye of the Beholder
White hair and Sages.
Daphne glanced at the woman next to the man who sat with him, this Eris, sure she was kinda poaching him but far as she knew he was fair game. She has not exclusively claimed the man or stopped her asking. “You want one too? You are cute and easy on the eyes. I could be persuaded. If you ever need help i'm easy to find, or the Lord and Lady.” Daphne teased Eris a little and her eyes sparkled with the mischief of her personality at times. Duty yes, but she was not as grim as some lunarians where stereotyped to be, just more reserved about it. Part tease, part genuine offer, if she needed help or protection, Daphne would do what needed to be done.
“Thankyou kind sir.” Daphne smiled and allowed herself to be led to the area people had cleared to dance and did not have a second thought. She was used to asking for what she wanted, her movements flowed and she was as her lord has insisted she learn to dance. If she could keep her feet, she could stay alive and he and Persephone had been rather unforging instructors but now she had long gotten over her being clumsy over tall woman of her youth.
She moved with a natural ease even with her swords at aide, heavier leather and sold boots far from the noble ladies' fine dresses and delicate shoes. Being fast was no good if you fell over the second you were so and ended up on your ass. “You are rather good, Lucky Me” Daphne said as she moved into a faster, more elaborate step, she let the music wash over her and guide her, just trusting and letting go. She let the energy of the music, even blightborn music, be her guide.
She placed her trust in the music and her handsome dance partner without fear, without hesitation.
By time they broke apart Daphne had a genuine smile but her fitness was such that she felt ready for a dozen more if she wanted even when it got more energetic. “You are quite the catch Nathaniel, thankyou.” Daphne said to him and looked over curiosity about the woman catching her mind, the two were Interesting and Daphne liked interesting people. They were like bright sparks of colour. I'm the grey darkness the world had become.
“If you save us, I'll happily let you spin me about.” Daphne said as the sages had so much weight on them, she kept it light and fun. They had enough problems to deal with. “If Ayel bothers your friend, let me know, I can have a few ideas… keeping you all safe is our jobs.” She added, the more eyes on that peacock the better.
