The two stared at each other for a long moment before hard-fought smiles broke across their mirroring faces. Humor cracked the ice that coating the interaction like a sledgehammer. Then the mysterious Woman took a step back and curtseyed accepting the rather flamboyant invitation to dance with a wink beneath her multicolored domino mask. Cade bowed graciously in acknowledgment and extended his hand towards his new dance partner. The Boxer took note as strong and deceptively nimble fingers slid across his palm and as he gathered the unknown Woman within his grasp he cut a path thru the throng of Ball attendees to reach the dance floor before the song ended.<br/><br/>The Samba is not a dance for the faint of heart as the rhythmic moves, that originated in Brazil, can test the body as harshly as any aerobic workout. As soon as the Champ's feet hit the ballroom dance floor, M.J.C. stopped and spun, catching the trailing beauty by the waist and coming up behind and locking her enticing frame against his. Then, as if they were two wrist watches that had been synchronized on the mark, the pair took to the rhythm of Mas Que Nada with a series of twist and turns that was exciting to see.<br/><br/>"Well, some might say 'bold' is another word for foolishness and if that's the case you are correct. I am quite 'bold'. Markus said in a playful self-deprecating way. Another twist, another turn. Legs moving in wild but coordinated fashion each dance partner challenging the other with more intricate and complex moves only to be matched and countered in an exchange of body and limbs. As Markus caught the gorgeous Brunette's left leg and carried her bodily into the next series of steps he wished the song wouldn't reach it's approaching climatic end.<br/><br/>"Girl please, I've got the feeling that I'm an amateur at challenging the status quo to compare to you. There's a bit of danger in those eyes, hiding behind that mask of yours. Perhaps after the unmasking, you'll tell me if my gut is on point."<br/><br/>As the song finally bleeds and the energy in the room returns to normal, the Anubis warrior and his masked accomplice stopped in a sudden finish. Both Man and Woman breathing a bit heavier than they should've been in a tight embrace before realizing eyes are upon them and breaking apart.<br/><br/>"Thank you, M'lady, for the dance. It was most... invigorating." Cade offered as the announcement of the banquet hall opening up carried across the room. Patrons of the night starting to fall in line; all heading to satisfy growing appetites.<br/><br/>"I don't want to stop your mingle... but if you want an escort to the hall I'm heading that way?"<br/>
