    His actions speak volumes. Which is good cause, something has to live up to his name.

    Considering that his answer, Ilpholin goes to wrap her arms around him and return the kiss hungrily, not in the mood for caution. She abandoned caution when she made this offer.

    Tebtranlyn nodded and stood back up. "Yes, of course Matron. I have just found that when matters of defense and family begin to mix it is always good to seek out wisdom. I shall do all that I can to make sure that this and all other disturbances are taken care of quietly."

    The assassin quickly descended down the stairs back to the ballroom floor. Teb was getting annoyed with how many times he was having to slip through the crowd. He was just hoping he could reach Sszinyon before he did anything truly drastic.

    He also glanced over to where Ryldolin should have been and cursed under his breath. He had told him to stay put.

    As Sszinyon pulled his weapons, she frowned, one hand resting on her hip as her eyes narrowed, focused on the drow of ill repute as she waited for his next move. But she made no move torwards him...or torwards the wall as so many of the drow around the tanned Exalt did.

    In fact, she almost seemed to be weighing Sszinyon's actions in the balance, as if she were waiting to see if he would be found wanting.

    Ethelay frowns as her youngest son runs from her, but then she sees where he's going. Wise thought, foolish action, she notes. She'll have to talk to him about subtlety. If anyone was after the child Matron, they'd have been alerted by Ryldolin's run.

    She simply changes her own trajectory to mingle with the crowd until she reaches the two children. Ethelay gives the appropriate bow/curtsey that one would give to the Matron of a rival House (assume her ettiquette is perfect, though HT's drow knowledge is wretched) and asks "Ilharess, would you like to be escorted out of the ballroom?"

    "If you remember, alleviating suffering caused by tyranny is one of my holy duties," Endrik replies, touching his hand to the haft of his hammer. The paladin unlimbered the weapon, planting the spike on the end with a sharp click against the tiled floor. His posture was not aggressive, not yet, but he was a man who could go from a standstill to an attack in a very short amount of time.

    [The Dias]

    Spider throne, spider throne giant black leggy spider throne...

    And what's this? Someone standing between Zee and her goal? This simply won't do! And she really doesn't have time for this. She's on a pretty strict 'prevent people from getting stabbed' time table after all.

    Well. Just roll with it. See what happens. "Please, just Zee is fine. Beats all the other mouthfuls of names that I've been heaped with," she offers a genuine smile. "Raril hasn't ever spoken much of his other children. But I suppose that's just a side effect of drow culture. Ah well. And I'm chatting with the Matron, actually."

    She then points. Should Erelae glance over her shoulder in the direction of said point she'll spy Zee heading up the dais. Upon looking back Zee will still be standing at the base where she was previously. "But why don't you tell me a bit more about yourself, Erelae?"

    There are not, however, two of her. No more than one Zee will show up in someone's vision at a time. No magic. No illusions. Just flagrant disregard for the standard laws of cause, effect, and time. It's all dreadfully confusing and probably best not to think about it too hard.

    Up the stairs toward the throne the Councilor goes! Looks like the Matron is going to get a chance to have a chat with the icky foreigner.

    Vyrn finds it hard to get a reading on Sszinyon's, but his body language was clear. He was angry. The gladiator was far simpler, there was blood lust there, and he was enjoying the fight. The Drider's emotions were nearly overwhelming. He was in pain. Terrible, terrible pain.


    Naitiri will notice that Sornnolu is standing up near the Dais. Should she approach, he will step down to speak to her.
    Naitiri does indeed step up to meet Sornnolu, glancing back toward the fellow with the swords. "I apoligize if I'm interrupting, but that man has begun to... concern me. I wasn't sure who else to ask about it."

    "Something's set him off." Kirk nodded toward Sszy. "And no one likes it."
    "What do we do about it?" Tina says, her eyes far less sharp about the stress in the room but still quite aware. One can easily sense the tension, the break in conversation, the quiet stares and slow attempts to move away from Sszinyon. "Should we go, or get some guards or something?"

    Kirk chuckles just a little. "If they can't handle this themselves then it will reflect poorly on the House. I would expect they're prepared for something like this." Either that or House Xar'Cha is far less competent that he would have expected.

    "You would be surprised what I can ignore when free drinks are on the line," Tina says. Sounds like there's stories there, but she doesn't go into it. The musician will head into the ballroom with Kirk in tow. "Besides, it's not like he's got a gun. Stay out've arm's reach and we're golden."

    [Ballroom 'Dance Floor'] Probably a ways away from the gladiators.

    Kirk laughs shortly. "You'd think that, wouldn't you?" He smirks a little. "My advice, don't assume things like that ever. Especially when it comes to drow." Even with those words of warning, Kirk doesn't seem the least bit concerned. Not on the surface at least. Tina might pick up that he tries to keep his eye on Sszy as much as possible, however, but he's subtle about it.

    Hopefully...

    "Oh please. 'Killing' me would be a waste of his time," Tina says, swinging around to let Mr. Locke take the lead. She's got good feet, but the drow's dances are entirely alien to her. "Now how do we start?"

    Kirk isn't exactly familiar with any specific dances that any of these drow might be used to either. What with never coming from the same place and being away from his own people for years anyway. What he does know, however, is how to dance.

    "Here I thought you knew how to dance." The drow says amusedly. He judges what music is still going on, though one would suspect there's not much, and then he starts to expertly lead her in a dance. "I can't claim to know much about these drow. It's a similar culture in some ways, but I'm sure there are plenty of nuances I wouldn't have the slightest clue about."

    Tina thinks he knows everything there is to know about the dark elves.

    "Oh, shuddup," Tina scolds, trying and succeeding to match Kirk's steps. Her body moves with a liquid dexterity, and she changes her skin mid-dance, to that lovely shade of neon blue that Kirk seems to like. "I guess that makes sense. For some reason I just imagined all drow as being the same, but humans aren't like that either."

    "Exactly. There is this one goddess, Lolth, that always seems to be involved when you get drow like these and where I came from. Take Dena for instance. No Lolth and her people sound as different as you'd expect from cultures that are worlds apart."

    Kirk leads her through a series of steps that she should have no trouble keeping up with. He's a good dancer, good enough that he knows how to ensure he matches his partner perfectly. "But while drow culture is intriguing, I'd much rather hear about what you've been up to recently, seeing as I haven't seen you near as much as I would have liked."

    Tina keeps up with Kirk well, despite his greater level of skill. Presumably they're not dancing too fast, anyway - it's not very conducive to casual conversation. "I've been... considering some things. I have more money than I know what do with, y'know?" Tina says with a little laugh. "Then there's my sisters... nah. You don't wanna hear about that."

    "Ah, I know that feeling. To have money, but feel like you never spend it." Not on anything fancy at least. Kirk can't remember the last time he's bought anything extravagant.

    But that thought doesn't hold his attention long. His eyes light up with curiosity when she mentions her sisters. Of course he was going to be curious when she started and stopped like that. "What about your sisters? Something to do with that project of... Naitiri, I believe her name was."

    All Tina's really been spending her fortune on is drugs. But she wouldn't tell Kirk that, at least not yet - he'd worry. "Well, that's part of it. Naitiri said when she came to the Nexus that we'd be able to, I dunno... get together more. Like we used to. But the Clinic keeps her so long..." Tina shakes her head, during a lull in the dance tempo. "And don't even get me started on Gelley. That girl's out've her mind."

    Kirk can't really sympathize, given his own (lack of) relationship with his family. "That's a shame. I suppose you get along better with them than I thought, considering when I first met Naitiri." Though even he has to admit that that was justified at the time. "I don't think you've told me anything about Gelley."

    "Naitiri and I weren't really getting along, back then," Tina explains, glancing downward. "We're better. As for Gelley... she's got this wild idea about being a superhero." She sounds a little embarassed, to be honest.

    "A superhero?" The drow's eyebrows shoot up. "That's an interesting choice of a career I suppose. How does she figure she's going to do that?" Kirk tries to keep the amusement out of his voice, but it's not all gone.

    "With body armor and a lot of luck. Generally how her new jobs get started," Tina says, sighing dramatically. Not unamused, she adds, "This is probably her billionth 'interesting career'. Inside should be scared." Tina glances off to the side again. "Don't get me wrong... I love Gelley to death. But she's really gonna get hurt, one of these days, and Elexxion can't fix everything. Not like they say."

    "Unfortunately some people don't have a lot of good sense." Or are just plain fools, but Kirk sure isn't going to put it like that. "She at least have some combat training I hope?" Not that he suspects that whatever training she might have received means she's good enough to keep it up for long.

    "Try not to worry too much. You never know, maybe she'll get a new career path in her head and abandon the super hero idea altogether." Kirk says. That's the best way he can think of the problem resolving itself.
