*Renn shrugged*
"Might as well have some fun. Wanna dance?"

Richard looked at her in disbelief.
"...Dance? Me?"
Dancing was hardly his strong point. And besides, it always made him think of that Duchess pronouncing him the handsomest man in the room except his brother.

*Renn laughed at the look on his face.*
"That's okay. You don't have to if you don't want to. I'm no good at dancing anyway.I'd probably fall over."
Not to mention that I'm taller than him. And in a top hat that makes me 6 and 1/2 feet tall.

"You'd only fall over because I'd drag you down first," said Richard, with a hint of a smile.

"Are you sick or something?" *she asked taking a sip of champagne.*
"Not that I'm trying to be nosy."

"It's been a very difficult few weeks," he said tersely. He tried to perform his usual gesture of extreme irritation- meshing his hand into his hair- and remembered that he couldn't do that anymore, which only managed to sour his mood further.

"Sorry."
*She chewed her bottom lip.*
"I'm sorry- I can tell I'm irritating you..."

"Perhaps you could." *She looked back at Dracula* "He's watching me." *Holmes frowned.* "That, obviously, complicates things. What does he hold you here for?" *There was an uncomfortable pause.* "That he cannot procure from other women, that is."

*Irene looked back at Holmes*
"He has a strange obsession with me. I can't explain it. He had my husband murdered because of me."
