Sandrath was looking rather dapper tonight. He was dressed as a character who had sold his soul and could not gaze upon his portrait or else suffer from the consquences.

So, the fallen arch-angel was looking around the room. A part of him wanted to mingle with new people but another wanted to find some friends to spend time with. Or perhaps, even a partner to dance with, regardless of gender.

[morningfeather]

Well Sandrath, there just so happens to be a lady wearing an interesting costume lingering at the edge of the dance floor, watching the couples whirling around.

[dominateartimus]

He noticed her and like a sly gentleman, approached from the side. Clearing his throat slightly, he addressed her.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked with an out-stretched hand to her.

[morningfeather]

Te Ata turns and blinks at Sandrath, surprised at being asked to dance.

She smiles and slips her hand into his own, "I would be glad to."

[dominateartimus]

His smile widens and he leads Te Ata to the dance floor.

"Do you have a preference for slow or fast?" He asked while making sure to avoid other couples.

[morningfeather]

"Slow might be better. It's been a while since I've danced like this." Te Ata is rather graceful even with the long dress and cloak, but it's obvious she's a little unsure of herself.

[dominateartimus]

"Of course." Was his reply as he moved his hands to their right placement.

He was graceful with his movements too, but had more confidence.

[morningfeather]

After a couple minutes of dancing, Te Ata's movements become more sure as Sandrath leads her through the dance.

She smiles widely, "This is fun. You dance very well."

[dominateartimus]

"I was taught well by my mentor." He informed although a brief frown appeared on his lips. "Although, I'm surprised I remember the steps as well as I do."

There was a bit of a bitter laugh from him. Changing subjects, he smirked a little.

"We never exchanged names."

[morningfeather]

"Well it's a good thing you do, because I'm surprised I remember them at all."

Te Ata laughs, "How terrible of me. My name is Te Ata."

[dominateartimus]

"Well, this isn't as complicated as some other dances." He stated. "That is an interesting name, Te Ata."

He wasn't sure if he should stick with Te, but figured it was easier to say the whole thing.

"Sandrath."

[morningfeather]

"True."

She smiles, "As is yours. Nice to meet you, Sandrath."

[dominateartimus]

"Its nice to meet you as well." He replied as he pulled back for a moment to twirl her. "Have you been here long? I mean here at the Keep."

[morningfeather]

Te Ata smiles widely as she twirls, cloak swirling around her legs, "I arrived at the beginning of this month."

[dominateartimus]

"Then you have been here much longer than I." He stated. "I arrived just this week."

San watched her costume twirl before pulling her back to him, his gaze level with hers.

[morningfeather]

"Oh? And how have you been settling in?"

Te Ata raises an eyebrow at Sandrath but says nothing and resists the urge to smirk. At least he's not staring at her uncovered leg.
