*Heedless of convention, she rose in her toes to kiss him briefly.*
"I would," *she said.* "Especially if you intend to take advantage of me later."

*Rochester wasn't sure that the two were mutual concepts, but a wicked dimple appeared nonetheless.*
"Me? Oh, darling, I would never do such a thing."
*He bounced his brow.*
"At least, I will make a better show of it than all that."
*He smiled and squeezed her hand before disappearing into the crowd to retrieve them something to drink.*

*Raoula shook her head. To her chargrin she found that she was blushing.* "I do not think so, I have just moved here. From the Loire Valley.* *She was rather pretty when she blushed.* "Then you don't know. Keep that vicomte away from you; he will ruin you and not feel the slightest remorse about it." *Raoula moved the hair out of her face. The git, he would ruin every chance she had with girls.* "Is he so very bad? he does not seem so."

*Sinclair was unsurprised at his lack of invitation. His grandmere, after all did not know he existed. Still, it was important to make an appearance.*

*Raoula moved the hair out of her face. The git, he would ruin every chance she had with girls.* "Is he so very bad? he does not seem so." *Erik eyes darkened.* "He has a fair face," *Erik said.* "It has ensnared many. He considers women his own playthings, to be used and discarded at will. You are too lovely to be used in such a fashion."

*Sinclair glanced over to a couple, an older looking man and a young girl. He grinned, clearly she was hired. He studied the riches. That was at least a month's supply of a buzz.*

*Raoula felt her face redden. It was strange, her body seemed to react of its own accord. She reminded herself that the man had wished, indeed made it his work to kill or at least maim him.*
"You are very kind."
*No, that was not a sensible response.*

*Shadi gazed around as she waited, feeling both excited and out of place. It was nice, being out with Rochester. Being seen with him.
And it amused her, as she slipped a pocketwatch that wasn't hers into a pocket, that these people were so completely oblivious.*

*Sinclair frowned, he knew the girl. Well, it seemed that she had moved on from his father. His gaze roamed her body. An expense habit that.*

*"Kind" was not an adjective commonly attributed to Erik, but he liked the sound of it.*
"No. But Erik respects women. And you are a beautiful one."

"Erik."
*Raoula tested the name on her lips.*
"It is honestly a pleasure to meet you like this."

*Erik smiled, preening. It was?*
"Likewise," *he said.* "May Erik ask for your name?"

*Shadi, waiting, noticed a dark man watching her. She frowned. Did she know him from somewhere? Bored, she made her way over to him.*
"I've seen you somewhere," *she said without preamble.*

*Raoula paused. That would just not work, her brain moved faster than it ever had before.*
"Barbarina, Barbarina Figaro."

*Erik smiled and kissed her hand. He'd watched gentlemen for years.*
"A beautiful name, Mademoiselle Figaro," *he said.* "Would you care to dance?"
*Dancing with a friend or relative of the de Changys, at their own party, would be provocative.*
