Janelle let herself be led by Arcaeus; and as they quickly passed though the ballroom, she took small note of the decorations, knowing she would get a second chance to admire it later. They made it up the flights of stairs in a hurry, a vague feeling of excitement emanating from Arcaeus.<span style="font-style: italic">Maybe one day it will be easier to read his emotions</span>she hoped.<br/>They walked outside and she looked at the scenery; orange covered the majority of the sky with white rays glowing over the tops of the mountains, reaching down to create light over the fields and the city. A slight wind blew, moving her clothes and hair. She breathed in, longing to be closer, to be flying, she thought. She let go of Arcaeus' hand and walked closer to the edge. She looked down and watched as couples made their way into the ballroom for the dance, talking and laughing amongst one another. The sun was setting quickly, almost dark within minutes. She turned and made her way to Arcaeus, looping her arm into his. They walked in silence down the stairs, making it to the bottom floor and before they walked into the ballroom she said, "I didn't think you were interested in sunsets." She stated this almost as if it were a fact, not requiring a response. She patiently awaited his approval to go in; wanting him to be comfortable, knowing she couldn't go in alone without looks of disapproval. Arcaeus looked at her, and without a word he led her into the ballroom.<br/>The decorations were scarce but beautiful. The colors were of autumn, the oranges, browns, and reds. There were tables and chairs on either side of the ballroom, autumn colored flowers were the center pieces placed upon each table. There were flower banners hanging from the ceiling and leaves spread throughout the room. The music had yet to start and people were gathering in groups carrying on conversation. Janelle felt Arcaeus tense and she dared a look up at him and she saw he was holding a stern look on his face, displeasure. He had yet to utter a word when the band began to play. It was a faster waltz 140 beats per second. There were violins playing with cellos, a saxaphone and even a trombone.<span style="font-style: italic">Absolutely gorgeous.</span>She thought. She wasn't well aware of how to do the dance, but she took one look at the other dancers and she knew. She took the reluctant Arcaeus to the middle of the dance floor, she was excited, and she could tell by Arcaeus' face that he was not. He took her by the hand, his other hand lightly on the hem of her back and they began. She was light on her feet and she noticed Arcaeus was too.<span style="font-style: italic">He can dance well. I sure wasn't expecting that after seeing reluctance to being here.</span>She thought. The dance required partners to switch, and before long she had switched to 4 different men, all of which smiled at her, a few with a yearning look in their eyes. She saw watched Arcaeus from the corner of her eye, seeing his displeasure for dancing with other women he didn't know. He was just going through the motions, not smiling to his other partners, even as he switched. His moves were stern, not flowing, but the women didn't seem to have any care in the world; they welcomed themselves into his arms with great pleasure, another woman pushed someone out of the way to make it into his arms saying, "He's mine!" while he didn't even notice, or care.<br/>She danced with the fifth man and she was back into the embraces of Arcaeus. She heard him slightly sigh with relief and his steps became more fluid, the lightness in his step back. Many couples watched with jealousy as they danced; it was the way they moved together, so gracefully and in sync. She was looking at him; her waltz form became loose, less uniform. He was looking straight, not at her and he had a professional look about him.<br/>The song ended and began into another song with a new dance. She stopped dancing and grasped Arcaeus' hand and began walking towards a table, "We can sit down now" she said. As they sat she crossed her legs. She watched as everyone danced, a few couples left to take a break. She listened to the violins, humming along and tapped her foot.
