Aria looked to her Captain and gave him a nod and a smile.  She did in fact tease him; she loved to see how he reacted to her body and the things that she enticed in his own. Her slender fingers slid into his larger hand with ease and she walked out of the room with him. Her tri-colored eyes stared out toward others that were present and she stopped with her gaze locked on Adham. She had become accustomed to his armor and knew he would look so different without it, though some days she wished he would discard it so that she could actually feel his skin rather than the metal of his armor. She gave him an adoring smile and watched as he took her hand and kissed it. A nod was awarded and she spoke softly.<br/><br/><strong>“You are too kind, Adham, and you look charming as ever this night.”</strong><br/><br/>She took his elbow as they started; it was then that she noticed Shar. The woman had been with Aria for some time but she still had not grown accustomed to how quiet she was and how easily she slipped in and out of view. She was partially unnerved by it and partially thankful. The help of Shar from time to time had been appreciated by many Sidhe of the Unseelie Courts.<br/><br/>Aria was glad to see the woman was not in any sort of armament. The swish of her skirts brought her closer toward the assassin and she gave her a slow respectful nod. She appreciated the woman’s dark lips and would make a point to say so. She did smile at the bow and gave a smaller one of her own.<br/><strong><br/>“It is always a pleasure, Shar. I will keep your entertainments in mind you can be sure. You look especially delectable this evening. I would like a kiss before the night is out.”<br/></strong><br/>She didn’t speak down to the woman but she did make it well known that she was the Princess here and those with her were to listen and obey. She didn’t think Shar would object to a kiss, there weren’t many who would object to anything Princess Ellaria NicArren would offer them. She was a kinder royal than most in her family but she was still Unseelie and there were just some things that never changed. Aria let her hand trail to the woman’s cheek then and her thumb brushed over those dark lips. She released her guard’s arms and looked at Shar tilting her head slightly.<br/><br/><strong>“Yes, I do want some time alone with you at some point.”</strong><br/><br/>A slow smile spread over her lips and she looked back to the men. She didn’t bother slipping her hand into their arms as she felt they needed to be free at a moments notice this evening. If that spare second freed from her arm would allow them to become better armed she was willing to give up the touch of their skin upon hers for the moment. She continued on to the waiting doorway and they entered the grand ballroom moments later, Aria let the Captain enter first to scope the area first for any sort of danger and then she would follow with Adham and Shar flanking her.<br/><br/>
