<div style="text-align: justify;">Irina allowed Damon to kiss her hand, all the while paying attention to him. She didn't remember his name, but in large gatherings, there was always someone who invited a friend. As long as they weren't disruptive, neither Irina nor her father minded it. As he seemed polite enough, Irina decided he could stay. Should he cause any trouble, and he would simply be removed discreetly.<br/><br/>"It is a pleasure meeting you as well, Lord Darkwood", she replied gently. Smiling when he complimented her home, the girl bowed her head in a recognition. "Thank you", the girl replied. "I am happy you like it. Please, do feel at home".<br/><br/>As Damon kept on looking at her, Irina felt her cheeks warm just a little. With a somewhat relieved sigh when he broke eye contact, she looked around. The pianist was finally going to take his place, so the dances should probably start soon.<br/><br/>"I would happily give you the first dance", the girl answered firmly. She knew this dance would probably define the rest of her night as it regarded him. If he liked it, he would probably ask for another one. If he didn't, he would simply make his way to the next girl.<br/><br/>Ignoring the thought, Irina moved her head, indicating the direction where the couples were already lining up to begin the dance, ladies on one side, gentlemen on the other, each one facing their assigned lady.</div>
