Deimos sat at one of the tables, drinking a glass of rum. He grimaced in distaste and put down the goblet and gazed across the ball room. Dark lords and evil maidens danced slowly to the melancholy music, the band at the front wearing black feathered masks, playing their music with grace.
Deimos was dressed regally, a purple gown trimmed with gold, black boots and black gloved. His hair pulled back into a ponytail. A woman smiled at him from across the room and dissapeared into a throng of people. Deimos tilted his head to the side to catch another glimpse of her, but she was gone. He shook his head and took note of the more prestigious dancers.
Lord Kagan, one of the greatest lords, coming from a far off land in the east and his mistress, Tatiana danced in a corner, away from the rest
Natasha Uriel, a wealthy buissness woman, a large supplier of weapons and potions, talked to a large man, Gota, a wealthy lord who fed off the poverty of his people in the north.

((Her dress looks like this: i86.photobucket.com/albums/k110/Jedi-Pirate-Wizard/ArinBallDress.jpg)) Arin walked into the ball room, having been bored and deciding to take a look. She felt uncomfortable and annoyingly vulnerable with just her knife strapped to her thigh under her simple yet elegant black dress. But she showed no signs of it as she walked through the door, head held high and back straight.

Deimos glanced at Arin. He never really expected her to arrive. He beckoned to a servant and whispered in his ear 'See that girl over there in the black dress, send her a glass of Merlot' He pushed a few coins into the servants hands

Arin was standing against a wall, surveying the dancers with her stormy gray eyes when a servant came up and handed her a glass of wine. She looked at the man quizzically as she took it and he gestured to a dark haired man across the room. It took her a moment to place him but when she did she smirked, it was Tokarev. She nodded her thanks to the servant and looked over at Tokarev again. She raised her glass in a sarcastic salute and then took a sip.

He smiled and nodded in her direction 'Erm, ahem' Deimos started and looked around. Kagan sat by him, not looking 'Oh, good evening Lord Kagan, I hope you are enjoying yourself' Kagan sipped a glass of wine 'Its a pleasent atmosphere, but tell me, who is that tasty morsel you have your eye on' Deimos frowned for a second, wondering what he was talking about 'Hm, oh yes, thats Arin, she seems alright'

Arin turned back to surveying the dancers, mentally going over the strengths and weaknesses she could catalogue just by looking and naming each hidden weapon she caught sight of. It was a game she played whenever she was bored and at such a social function at this. And one she found to be quite helpful later on.

'Well she is a pretty one Deimos, why dont you try to have her' Deimos chuckled slightly and sipped his rum 'Not yet Kagan, I still have to see if she is trust worthy, I have a lot of enemies you know' Kagan nodded 'Yes you have quite a bounty on your head in some other countries' Deimos frowned 'A bounty, how much' Kagan pulled a small leaflet out of his coat and handed it to Deimos, he coughed 'What, this amount is huge' His eyes widened 'Twenty million, who would pay that?' Kagan stared ahead 'I have no idea'

"I don't even know why I came..." Arin grumbled to herself, taking another sip of wine and frowning. It really wasn't up to her tastes, she preffered whiskey whenever she could get it. Though it was good wine. She wandered around the edge of the large room, letting her eyes unfocus as she listened to and filtered the conversations of people surrounding her. Though she didn't realize it at the time she was heading Deimos' direction with her wandering.

Deimos noticed Arin wandering aimlessly towards him 'Hush now Kagan' He stood up and bowed 'So glad you came Arin' He frowned at her drink 'What the hell is that, weak as water' He beckoned to a servant 'Bottle of whiskey, 2 glasses, strongest stuff you got'

Arin laughed at that.
"You should know Baka, you sent it to me." She said with a sardonic smile, slipping into her native Japanese as she called him an idiot. But she gratefully set the wine down to accept a glass of soothingly strong whiskey.

Deimos tilted his head at the Japanese, he didn't know much, but he could swaer she just insulted him. He shrugged it off and poured a shot of the whiskey 'So, Arin, have you had a chance to mingle with the guests yet, there are quite a lot of interesting personalities here' Kagan butted in 'If by interesting you mean incredibly boring then I think you are right' Deimos elbowed him in the side lightly ' Shut up' He hissed 'If any of them hear you, you will get into a lot of trouble'

Arin looked cooly around and shook her head with a smirk.
"None of them appear to be worth my time." She said without hesitation. She didn't care what other people thought, she'd say whatever the hell she wanted to and that was that.

Deimos shook his head 'No no no, Arin' He leaned in and spoke in a low voice 'Look, these guys may not look powerful, but they are incredibly wealthy and have connections all over the world, even if you anger one of them, you will never be seen again and nobody will ask any questions'
Deimos was starting to get nervous, was Arin going to cause any trouble? He hoped she wouldn't a lot of deal were being made here

Arin shook her head and made a tsking sound with her tongue.
"Is the little Tokarev worried about me? How sweet." She said patronizingly, her silver eyes sparking with mischief.
"I appreciate it but I do know tact so your warnings are unnecessary." She continued, her tone growing firm and a tad angry.

Deimos chuckled 'My, my there Arin, you are quite the feisty one, are you not' His voice dripping with patronization. 'Don't come crying to me when you have a horde of vampires that want to rip out your intestines' He downed his whiskey and poured another one, he coughed slightly 'd***, this is strong'
