Dragon's Tear Ballroom

[Midori]

Midori sat in her chair having pulled away from Corsair wiping her tears with the hankercheif they were only coming harder now. They were exchanging harsh words and she could only sit there and listen as each thought they were better for her than the other.

Exchanging words back and forth against one another. She looked at them both her green eyes pleading with them to stop. She had wanted this night to be filled with dreams and magic and now it had turned into a big fight.

BAM!

The sound of his gaunlet hit the marble floor and her face shot up as he stood. Corsair stood summoning his armor to him as they faced off for now with just words but already Corsair's blade was drawn and she cringed.

Stop..

Stop

Please stop...

The snow white owl landed in her lap and a tear fell into it's perfect feathers.

Please tell him.. thank you and goodbye..

She whispered to the owl mentally before Tacet took flight back up to Lanji's shoulders as Midori stood.

"STOP! Both of you just stop! I can't take it anymore. Let me take myself out of the equation." she said as she ran for the door.

Outside she found the stairs to the decks below and she returned to her room. The teleporters would not take her home tonight. And so she locked her door and cast a summon to keep everyone out as she lay on her bed curled up on her side. Crying softly into the soft hankerchief. She would clean it and give it back later for now she still needed it.

[Corsair]

"Damn you. You thin you're all good and so forth. Now you just added to the problems. Some great guy you are." Said Corsair watching Midori run off. He let his armour leave him and the flames went away.
"I'll deal with you at some other point." He said in an annoyed tone and ran after Midori.

[Lanji Romano]

You only exposed your true nature Corsair and you caused the lady to cry for that you should be punished outright. To think that you would draw a weapon in this beautiful hall. You have no spine whatsoever and only seek to hurt the innocent. For that we will meet on the field and you shall not win.

Lanji saw Midori running away as he almost gave a look of utter contempt for Corsair. To think that the man would do something so obviously stupid. It was people like this that should be punished outright. And sent to the pits of damnation itself. He shook his head again as he picked up his gauntlet the scene was saw. Corsair threatened his life in front of others without a single shred of care for Midori it seemed. He shook his head and slipped the gauntlet back on as he began to head towards his usual standing spot. A glass of champagne in his hand which he lightly sipped from. The aggravation gone and dealt with for now.

[Angra Mainyu.]

They continued to dance together closely as the music told them to, she gave him a kiss on the mouth, and he returned it accordingly. She replied to his flattering remark.

"Oh, I think you should keep it, makes you look more like my naughty angel in the bed..." He smiled to her with a part charming smile, part joking. Angra felt her kisses on his neck, they were wonderful soft, the words whispered before had been just as wonderful. He just wouldn't reply to them right now. He leaned down a little with his head so his mouth was dangerously close to her ear right ear.

"I know you do. As you know I do. Fancy me another dance after wards? Before I try and drink you under at the bar..." He kissed her neck back.

[Celeste]

Celeste blushed and smiled at his comment about the 'naughty angel'. She lay her head on his shoulder her now hip length pink hair hung down around her body. She was glad he liked it because she sure did it was nicer and more fun that the white hair she had been born with.

"Yes another dance would be wonderful." she said after he again confirmed his love for her. She knew he wasn't the type to say it a lot but just saying 'as you know I do' meant enough to her. All she wanted to know was that the feelings were still there.

"Angra darling? Can I ask why you came to the Arcane Academy?" she asked softly as they song ended and the next one just as slow started.

[Angra Mainyu.]

He had heard the clang from elsewhere in the ball room, turning his eyes over to it he saw quite a humorous event. And quite sad at the same time. He saw possibilities here. He turned to Celeste's mouth at the end of her words and kissed her soft lips with renewed vigour. Pulling back to rest next to her face. If that hadn't been a sudden move from him, then he didn't know what would be. Her question still demanded an answer though, just one he would pull up from a hat like a magician and the white bunny.

"To learn, to control the things I have been gifted with from childhood. I guess that is why I came here... I really just took the chance without thinking about it. Judging from my current position, then that was a smart choice." He smiled and looked at her long pink hair.

"Isn't it longer than before? Your hair I mean..."

[Celeste]

The noise resounded through the room and she turned in the direction in time to see a girl crying and leaving and two men fighting over her it seemed. What a way to ruin a prom, she thought softly before she was directed into another line of thinking.

Angra's lips pressed harshly against hers and she returned the kiss full force as she closed her eyes. She wrapped her arms around him even tighter as the kiss continued for some time. She smiled softly when it was done. He asked about her hair and she smiled and nodded.

"Much longer. It used to only fall just past my shoulders but now it goes all the way down to my hips." she told him. She was pleased in a way that he had noticed. Though it was a very big change a lot of men never really noticed about things like that.

His story for coming to the academy were similar to those of others. To further their knowledge of their craft. To be stronger.

"But Angra, what is your magic? You've never told me." she said softly as she looked up into his eyes.

[Angra Mainyu.]

He smiled when she said he was correct, he just hadn't seen it had become so much longer. He might be observant, but such details seemed unimportant for most parts. In a relationship, it made a great difference. He had spotted a difference, more could she not ask of him. It seemed.

"I guess I haven't, neither have you really for that matter... You can heal, that is all I know."

He smirked and kissed her on the lips for a couple of seconds. The taste of her lips lingered for some time after that, even as he spoke could he taste her.

"But, I work with a simple magic... Illusions."

He closed his eyes and concentrated for a second as he shaped the thing inside his head. Who said magic couldn't be used out of combat. A red rose 'materialised' in his mouth, it wouldn't take much energy for such a simple illusion, and unless the ship was going to be attacked by a giant squid, then it wouldn't matter with that loss of energy. He smiled with the rose between his upper and lower row of teeth, making it an awkward charming smile. The look in his eyes intensified.

[Celeste]

Celeste watched carefully as Angra was going to use his magic. She was curious as to what it was having never seen him cast a spell in all the time she had known him. The rose appeared in his mouth and a bright smile crossed her lips. She reached up and took the rose from his teeth and smelled it.

"That's truly wonderful Angra." she smiled as she let the rose run across her soft skin before lifting it up and running it over Angra's cheek gently.

"My magic is celestial magic. Basically I use the stars and the heavens to cast my spells. Like my staff." she told him.

Putting the rose in the hand that was still behind Angra's head and she left her other hand empty. She concentrated and balls of white light formed her staff. At the top was a moon and a star and at the bottom of the ornate staff was a very sharp point used for impaling. After letting Angra's eyes roam the staff she dismissed it so they could continue dancing.

She reached up and kissed him rather passionatly. It was one thing about the couple they were very close and very passionate about one another.

"Darling? What would you say if we went on a vacation down to Earth just the two of us. We could go anywhere." she said softly. "I just think it might be fun to go with you."

[Angra Mainyu.]

She took his prized rose from him. The charming smirk still on his lips when the rose were gone from between his lips. He watched as she had it move over her skin, and then felt his own illusion against his own skin. It was strange that he could even fool his own senses with it. He watched her have a staff come to sight right where they were dancing.

"Amazing... You are a talented sorceress."

She dismissed it, and he was surprised with the next thing. A kiss on his lips, he kisses her back with the same passion. Then she surprised him with something else. A vacation, just the two of them.

"I guess it could be fun to be down on the earth again like now. How should we get there... With Celeste Airlines?" He smirked and swung her around with grace.

[The Watcher]

Isis smiled as Ethan led her to the dance floor. He put his arms around her but she moved in even closer laying her head on his shoulder letting them dance really close. She nuzzled into him. She knew that he was cold and indifferent but she felt that deep down somewhere something was there waiting for the right person to come out. She longed to see the man smile just once.

He compliemented her on her dress and she blushed softly looking up at him Sure it was a sexy dress but she wanted him to enjoy it. She hoped he really did like it and wasn't just saying that for the hell of it. She smiled at him softly.

"Why thank you, Mr. Yukimaru you look splendid yourself this fine evening." she said soflty.

She hadn't kissed him. Not since she met him had. Only that one time when she had him under the spell as a demonstration to the class. But she had not kissed or toyed with him like the others. Ethan was special in that way for some reason. She had left him alone. And now she was at prom with him and having a good time.

"How have you been, Ethan? I rarely see you. We should get together some time." she said softly as she looked into his still cold eyes.

[Ethan Yukimaru]

Ethan remained his cold, unassuming self as he held Isis close, his eyes calm and tranquil as usual. He brushed her hair a bit, his fingers gently moving down her cheek as well, as he stared deeply into her eyes.... His own empty and passionless.

"I Have been well Miss Stone" Ethan said in a respectful tone. "Not once would I have thought that I would be dancing at Prom with a teacher.... Life surely is amazing"

With that, he trailed off as he let the soft romance music fill the air around the two. Yukimaru felt very comfortable at the moment.... Despite dancing with the epitome of hotness.... or lustiness as others would say. Regardless, Ethan didn't care... He found that Isis intrigued him, and that alone was enough for him to agree to go with her to Prom...

"I've been well Miss Isis" The man replied to her "I just recently returned from a meeting with my family, so I apologize if we did not see each other that much. How about after all this, we have a nice dinner? I remember there being this lovely bistro in Babylos...."

Ethan then stared deep into Isis' eyes at that moment.. While it looked like affection and love... Upon closer inspection Ethan still had his eyes the same...

Cold and Indifferent....

[The Watcher]

Isis smiled softly when he mentioned they could indeed go on a date. It was a nice idea she thought. Because she liked Ethan he intrigued her and she longed to see him smile or to see any emotion for that matter crossing this mans face.

"I would indeed enjoy an evening out with you, Ethan." she said softly as she ran her hand down his face in a gentle manner.

He was sweet and he was kind. It was that kind of man that she had found herself oddly attracted to. Oddly enough, she had even been changing her ways just slightly to more educational than seductive purposes.

"I'd like to know a bit about you Ethan, something about your likes and dislikes." she said softly as she looked right into his eyes regardless if they showed expressions or not.

[Ethan Yukimaru]

"Well, I like calm quiet walks at night accompanied by soft winds and a lovely moon' The man said calmly, his hand striking the side of her hair. "I like deep conversations and meaningful relationships. I prefer simple things in life, although i don't mind money and what not. However, I dislike things that would cause on to change and cause them to do rash and stupid things. Upsetting the peace is also annoying for me as well....But that is me"

With that, the song slowly died down, as something faster and off beat occurred. Ethan, sensing his weakness at these types of songs, subtly took the teacher down to a small table, where he then ordered two drinks. It was odd, to see a teacher and student dating like this... But accompanied by the fact that the student was older then the teacher, and that this school is very, very, very peculiar on it's own, it made Ethan's and Isis' situation look pale by comparison. Looking into her eyes, his cold ones began to examine her beauty and her plentiful.....assests for a brief moment.

"So tell me, what do you enjoy?" Ethan then asked, his body looking oh so calm and relaxed.

[The Watcher]

The song ended as he told her the things that he enjoyed about life. The simple pleasures that life gave seemed to be all he needed to make himself happy. It was refreshing too in the sense that lately these days people tended to only enjoy life with material items and technology.

He led her off the floor and to a small table where they sat down. She was actually enjoying her time with Ethan. He wasn't all over her and she liked that. They seemed to find a mutual respect for each other that was hard to find with the way she taught and the way that people looked at her. Her hand found his and entwined their fingers.

"I believe for me it would be music. Simple songs of beauty the classics. They never die. Always forever will they retain that perfection they had when written. People can try to change them and put different spins on them but for me it is the original classics that touch my soul. Aside from that, I enjoy to walk. Through the gardens here or the forest I find that nature is very soothing. But something I love most is watching lightning. So beautiful. That raw and dangerous power that nature creates on it's own. Its so beautiful I would love to have someone to share that with. When its a dark night and the lightning lights up the sky and the dark room. It's perfect." she said softly as her blue eyes looked up into his soft gaze.

His gaze was as cold as ever and she often wondered if she could make it show anything. She reached up with her free hand and touched his cheek lightly with the back of her fingers and ran it down the length.
