<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">The mystery man introduced himself as Amin Downing, the eldest of the brothers. Daphne didn't know much of the brothers, only that there mother was a force to be reckoned with according to her mother. She smiled at him as he asked to dance with both of them, squeezing Eloise's hand to signal that it was only appropriate to accept his offer to dance with her as well. "That would be lovely Lord Amin." She said, politely offering her wrist so he could claim a spot on her dance card. <br/>
<br/>
She was about to ask him another question before his mother, the terrifying Countess appeared beside him. "Lady Downing, a pleasure. I do hope your enjoying your evening so far" She offered, with a dazzling smile Violet Bridgerton had taught her. "Your son has been a pleasure, he was actually just about to escort me to the dance floor." She raised her eyebrow at Amin, as if to signal that this was his way out of talking to his mother, she seemed a bit out of wits seeing her eldest son. Daphne could only assume Amin was much like her own brothers in some regard. "Eloise, would you please tell mother Lady Featherington was asking for a moment with her?" She figured if Eloise wasn't content to dance with anyone, she certainly didn't want to stay here and continue a conversation with the Countess. <br/>
<br/>
She offered Amin her hand and gave his mother a polite curtsey, before allowing Amin to lead her to the dance floor. Taking up the starting position for the dance, she gave Amin another smile, though this one was more curious than dazzling. "Your mother seemed... keen to see you Lord Amin." As the music began the two started the dance, falling into place amongst the other couples. "I admit I haven't seen you at many events this past season my Lord, do you travel often?" She figured his offer was simply friendly, as he didn't seem as forward as some of the other gentleman here tonight. Daphne relaxed at that thought, if only slightly. Having a dance that wasn't so marriage forward might be just the thing she needed to survive the rest of the evening, though.. the man was quite handsome. <br/>
<br/>
She let herself look upon him for a moment, taking in his features. He was quite handsome, and well spoken. It made Daphne blush as she looked away and focused on her feet so she didn't make a fool of herself.  </span>​</div>
