One delicate hand reached out to brush over his arm lightly as she spoke softly next to him.<br/><br/><strong>"You are worth more to many people, King Fenris. You should realize this and know that others do indeed know your worth. However undermining those who wish to prove such to others is not exactly a wise thing for a ruler to do. As I am sure you know and would be careful of in a different setting. However, we are here and I'm afraid I must be going. This evening is drawing to a close and I have much to do. It was nice to see you again. Perhaps the next time will be under business terms, yes?" </strong><br/><br/>As she stepped up on her tiptoes, Aria kissed his cheek lightly before whispering into his ear, the sweet smell of her skin close to his face.<br/><br/><strong>"Have a good night, your grace. May we meet again soon, Fenris, King of the Goblins."</strong><br/><br/>With the simple words spoken she sat her now empty glass down and turned to exit the room. She paused a moment to glance out over the crowd once and then continued on with polite nods to those who looked her way. The Unseelie Princess awarded smiles to all and walked through the exit surrounded by her guards and entourage.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>For Keith, after thier dance he fell back to allow the princess time to interact with others, to let her try her wings, so to speak, though he listened to what the goblin king had to say in response, as the air itself whispered it's secrets to him.   The goblin king was borderline insulting to his princess, and that did bother him, considerably, though he didn't show any of it on his face, instead, he waited, to see how the princess would deal with the matter.  And he wasn't disappointed, she chose to be polite and diplomatic, though perhaps it was waisted on the goblin king.<br/><br/>When she stepped out he fell into step with her, with perfect grace and skill, putting his hand on her shoulder, he whispered in her ear a moment, using the air around him to make certain the whisper was not overheard.  "A graceful and diplomatic exit, your highness."  He then took his place at her side and escorted her out of the ball, to the more private locations she appeared to desire at the moment.<br/>
