Lilliana peered over at the boy leading the girl onto the dance floor.  He was cute, but almost nothing compared to what she assumed was the elder brother the twins had refered to.  She watched him stand and stride over to her parents with subtly hungry eyes.  "That is your elder brother, no dubt." She mused, gesturing quickly to the black-haired man near the two thrones.  "He reminds me of my own brother, only... more confident, stoic even."  She giggled, looking away and back to the twins.  "And those colors certainly don't help to divert a lady's attentions.  They are so simple and rich.  Quite lovely."<br/><br/>Aldreth, who had been addressed, found the speaker with his eyes.  Clearly he didn't like the way he'd been addressed.  The man simply walked up to him and, not only called him by his full name with no honorific, but  leapt right into introducing himself.  There was no tact in that.  The Queen picked up on it as well and looked even more disapprovingly at the man.  However, her attention was called by the head of the newly arrived family head.  He was quite the sight in his unusual oriental clothing.  She didn't particularly care for the way it draped, but to each his own.<br/><br/>"Good evening to you, Mr. Coleman." The King and Queen both greeted respectively in a tone of forced regard.  they didn't want to appear rude, but it was clear that neither of them was extatic about meeting him.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Eurich entered into Lilliana's chambers with Ijemaru close behind.  Delicately, he started to touch the handles on her waredrobe and chest of drawers.  The waredrobe was fine, nothing on the handles or inside.  He pushed the hanging petti-skirts aside as well as the full dresses.  Far too much fabric in one place to really hide anything as far as he could tell."  He shut the waredrobe and checked the drawers underneath, repeating the same delicate tap of the knobs and pulls before slowly opening them.  Finally, he came to the larger chest on the opposite side of the room.<br/><br/>The first drawer was alright, but when he touched the second, he recoiled immediately with a painful hiss. The knob had been coated in something, something that burnt his fingers just with the delicate touch he'd applied.  What could it have been?  He rubbed his fingers together and noticed a fine powder glistening in the light.  It was silver! Finely ground silver dust.  Surely it was only put there to scare her, as it wouldn't have killed her.<br/><br/>Eurich withdrew a lilac-colored handkerchief from his pocket and gentley pulled the knob.  He held his breath, but nothing came of it.  There was only one drawer left in the chest to check, and something gave him a very unsettling feeling about it.
