Adham's face remained unaffected, a nearly permanent slight frown, as Shar looked upon and mentioned him in conversation.  The guard would be remiss to think he had not thought about her.  Of course, she her face was pretty, and her curves enrapturing, but that was exactly what made her dangerous.  The assassin hid her true skills behind them, and because Adham did not know her fully, there was a small amount of distrust between them.  However, Princess Aria enjoyed and desired Shar's company, so he learned to coexist with her.<br/><br/>He agreed with the Captain's assessment.<strong>"Princess, one of us should be with you at all times,"</strong>he said, looking to her.  Then eying the Keith, he volunteered his services,<strong>"Captain, I shall be her shadow tonight, as I am sure you desire to mingle with the rest of the Court."</strong>As Keith pressed glided his finger along Aria's face, Adham's soul burned with fury, and even though he did not show it at all, he knew Aria felt it.<br/><br/>As they walked across the room, Adham kept a careful eye, watching every movement, cataloging every suspicious character and their placement in the room.  Nothing would would escape the notice of the guard in blue armor, the chest-plate having a large, silver dragon embossed in the center of it.  Oh the various other pieces of his armor, such as the greaves, gauntlets, leg and arm pieces, smaller dragons are centered as well, leaving a somewhat 'icy' look, which only complimented his Hand of Ice.  Tonight, he could leave Aria's side and still know her exact emotions due to something that had occurred only a couple of nights ago, the large raven burned into his side giving him that ability.<br/><br/>Adham eyed the Goblin King as he made his entrance.  If there was someone the guards needed to watch, it was him.  Goblins by nature are dishonorable and chaotic.  As he watched the Goblin King, the guard saw in his peripheral vision the golden armor of Fionn Lorcan, of whom, Adham knew.  Though they were of opposing Courts, he highly respected the Seelie Guard's second in command due to his exploits.  At some point they might need to talk.<br/><br/>As all of this occurred, the guard tightened his grip on his large blade, which was sheathed at his side and shadowed Aria almost perfectly.  He would be at the ready in a split second, defending her to the best of his abilities.<br/><br/>
