Dimitri's eyes left her finally, casting around the ball room at her words.  He knew them to be true.  The clientele here was exclusive in some sense, yes.  But the majority were here to explore, to learn, to thrill.  Some of them perhaps would one day learn to master themselves, but for most of them if there was an illusion of control, it was only that, an illusion.  The staff here were truly creating a show for them.<br/><br/>He could see though that this girl understood it would be different for her tonight.  He smiled at that, looking back at her.  It is what he enjoyed.  He was providing a service for her, he liked to think, changing the dynamic of the relationship that she was used to.  "Things will not be how you're used to them," he commented simply.  He felt no need to bluster.  "I'm quite sure we will both enjoy that."<br/><br/>"If you're ready?" he said finally, standing once more and offering her his hand.  He had soaked in her youthful beauty for a bit.  In a different environment he might do so for longer.  But there was a different pace, different expectations here.  When she rose he gestured for her to lead the way.  She was still the hostess.  And besides he was interested to see if she would lead him to where she was meant to go.<br/><br/>
