Once the dance was complete and the music had slowed to a halt Aria smiled to Keith before she curtsied, politely excusing herself. Her eyes shifted to glance toward those left in the room. She noted the absence of her cousin and a couple others, including the goblin king. With a few strides off the dance floor, smiling to those she passed, she stopped to speak with a few. She talked of small things, the passing years, the growth of children and such. It was very light hearted and seemed natural of a reunion of sorts.<br/><br/>As she passed the Seelie Captain of the Guard,  she paused a moment. Her tri-colored gaze shifted over his form with an admiration and approval held firm and true. Aria was never one to hide such things. It was their way of life. In fact, an insult not to let others know you enjoyed looking at them or found them sexually enticing.  Though, he was Seelie and that alone was nearly enough to cause a quick look away.<br/><br/><em> Play nice, Aria. Keep your enemies close. </em><br/><br/>She smiled warmly to Connal and stepped toward him. She gave a polite nod to the girl next to him and then she stepped in closer. Her voice rang out in a soft, quiet tone.<br/><br/><strong> “It is too beautiful a night for a handsome Sidhe like yourself to be alone. The ball is on sacred ground where no harm will come to your Princess, lest those who do such wish the wrath of the Goddess upon them. If… that is what you worry over.  Perhaps, I can offer you a drink? Or a dance, if I could be so honored?"</strong><br/>
