*Feeling Mai's fingers tracing on his shoulder was soothing, a reminder that she was a living gem. Their gazes locked, gold meeting azure, away from the world around them.*

"Clearly, it's not all you do. At least, not *All* That you used to."

*Livio wanted to find more about this mysterious woman. Who exactly was she? A hostess? A main dancer? Or something else?*

"Well, a flower belongs to no one but nature itself. But of course, that doesn't mean one can't stop to smell them. After all, they were made to be appreciated."

*The music around them took a sudden change in pace, getting faster. Livio responded, pulling Mai closer as to allow them to twirl more quickly.*
Cynthia
*It seems that trying to get around the question with a vague answer didn't do much good. Her face became a little more serious, a sadder look in her eyes. It wasn't so obvious, but it was there.*

"I used to work in a theater as a dancer."

*Her past was deadly. Her job outside of Prancing Rose was compromising, perhaps more so than actually working in the tavern. Playing a piece of truth for him would be better. After all, it wasn't a lie.*

*She followed Livio's steps softly, as if gliding through the middle of the hall.*

"Not like the ones in this place."

*The music was coming to its end. Mai slowly slowed the pace of the two until they stopped, she right in front of the man. Her hands showed the slightest hesitation in sliding away from him.*
Michelle
*There it was. Mai held secrets, ones she clearly didn't want known. Livio would respect that; for now, digging deeper was not an option.*

"You must have been the best."

*The music dropped as suddenly as it rose, with the pair stopping their spinning momentum. He could feel Mai slide away from him, hesitating just a bit. Moving with her, Livio maintained the distance between the two, grabbing two drinks and handing one to the kemonomimi.*

"Perhaps a little more chat sitting down?"
Cynthia
*Mai accepted the glass of drink, thanking Livio and giving him a small smile. The silver rings gave a quick snap as they met the crystal.*

"Of course, let's sit down."

*Mai offered a hand for him to follow, pushing their way through the crowd of people with a few smiles and a few words here and there. She led them to an empty table in one corner of the large dance hall, taking a seat and offering Livio to sit next to her.*

"I guess hunter isn't the only thing you have to tell me about yourself."

*She took a sip of her drink, looking at Livio.*
