[rulerofme]

[He holds a hand out to her.]

I will accept your gratitude if you will accept my offer for a dance.

[the_roseblack]

Then I suppose I must. [wait a second, did she just... laugh a bit?]

[She takes the offered hand, leaving her wine behind on the table.]

[rulerofme]

[Someone was certainly enjoying themselves. David places his drink down as well and in a matter of moments, they are teleported to an open spot upon the dance floor. Why walk when you could just do that?]

[the_roseblack]

[it's not exactly a House Cynis party, but she's determined to make the most of it. on second thought, maybe that's for the best. House Cynis's parties tended to have a lot more drugs and a lot less clothes.]

Not one for taking the scenic route, are you? I hope you don't take that approach to all your attempts at picking up women.

[rulerofme]

With as lovely as you look tonight, I doubt anything on the scenic route would be able to capture my attention.

[He tugged her a step closer to him before letting his hands fall into their place upon her body.]

Though we can go back and take it if you like.

[the_roseblack]

Not a chance. I much prefer to keep moving forward.

[her own limbs slide into place as the music starts up; she opts to let Haller take the lead at first.]

[rulerofme]

[He takes the lead, dancing easily to the music with little effort.]

So how are you doing, Rosy? Just you in general.

[the_roseblack]

[Rosy? That's not one she hears often. But to her credit she doesn't let the minor surprise make her stumble, keeping up with the dance with practiced ease.]

No worse than usual, for being stranded nearly a year in a world no larger than 5 cities and without my Legion. [Homesickness is one thing, but does the damn place have to be so small? Even with subarchways, the travel options are pretty limited compared to military life in Creation.]

And you?

[rulerofme]

[He chuckles a little at her using the word Legion.]

If I still went by Legion, I'd say you're dancing with one. [But he shed that name long ago.] It is nearly a year for me too. Just three more months.

[It didn't really feel that long, though.]

I'm completely fine. I'm happy with my place here.

[the_roseblack]

[She gives a wry laugh at the pun.]

I wish I could say the same. My place is protecting the Realm. Each day away from Creation eats at me... but let's talk about something more pleasant.

I believe I saw something about you opening a children's home recently?

[rulerofme]

That's right. Whoever created this place clearly didn't have them in mind, since they would have to work and pay for things like a regular adult. I want that place to fix that.

[the_roseblack]

An admirable goal. I'll be sure to make a donation.

Strange that whoever did this would ignore children in the design of the prison yet bring them here as readily as adults.

[rulerofme]

Strange in did. I just assume they might not care. We can't expect compassion from someone or something that would kidnap so many people without giving us a reason.

[the_roseblack]

It's almost as if the place is run by Fair Folk. Though I've never heard of a Raksha with anything like the power to make this entire place, at least not so realistic and so resistant to escape.

[rulerofme]

I'm not sure who Fair Folk or Raksha are, but I assume they must hold quite a bit of power in your world? But this place even has be a bit baffled. I can move through dimensions, but I can travel from this one. Not that there is anything for me to really return to.

[the_roseblack]

It doesn't matter; there are none here.

Having no home to return to seems a worse fate than being separated from it. I pray to the Dragons I find Creation still there when I find a way to return.

[rulerofme]

My Home is still very much there it's just..I'm not. I'm not dead or anything, though. I'm sure your world is intact, though. It's not like we've heard anything about peoples worlds being destroyed here or something.

[the_roseblack]

Do you think they'd let us find out if they were doing that?

But it is not destruction by our captors that I fear for Creation. Its own native enemies are more than enough.

[rulerofme]

It seems like the sort of thing they'd want to play up. "Your world is gone and we saved you from dying with it" blah blah blah.

[the_roseblack]

Would they? Whoever it is does not seem keen on making their presence known so directly.
