"I do not know."
*She glanced away, a little coy.*
"What else is there?"

*She was walking right in, eyes open, and it didn't give Valmont the thrill he usually got. Still, it was easy to act the part by rote.*
"So much," *he said softly.* "I could show you." *He left a delicate pause lay between them, full of promise.* "A dance, perhaps?"

*Diamanta nodded slowly.*
"Yes, I would like that."

*Valmont smiled, rose, and offered her his hand. He led her surely to the dance floor, and as the orchestra started up with a waltz he placed his hand on her waist and began to swirl her with steady, practiced grace among the other partners.*

*Diamanta followed his lead without too great a problem, they had dances at her village. Still, the room did spin more than it should.*

*He knew by her expression she was several sheets to the wind already, and it wouldn't really take much. He sighed. No challenge, was it? Still, it passed the time.
After several dances they came to a whirling halt at the edge of the floor, and Valmont merely held her.*

*Diamanta released a long breath, looking up into his face with a slightly spellbound expression.*

*Valmont traced the side of her face gently, his fingers barely brushing her skin.*
"You're a very beautiful woman, Mademoiselle Diamanta."

*She released a breath she hadn't known she was holding in when he touched her face.*
"Th-tha, no one has ever said so before."
*She stammered.*

"That, my dear, is a shame," *he said softly. Really, they were like putty in his hands.
Well, most of them. The stupid ones, he knew.
He leaned forward, ever so slightly, and kissed her softly, pulling away abruptly in mock-embarrassment.*
"Forgive me!" *he said, his eyes averted.* "I could not help myself, the way you were looking at me."

*Diamanta gingerly touched her lips, not at all adverse to his attention. Perhaps he was the prince he spoke of after all.*
"How, how was I looking at you?"
*She whispered, her voice soft in the loud room.*

*Valmont gazed at her with a similar dewy-eyed abandon.*
"Like I was the only man in the room," *he said quietly.* "You can't know what it does to a man, to see a look like that on a beautiful girl's face. You should be careful."

*She glanced down and then up to his face.*
"Why, what should happen?"

"A weaker man might seek to take advantage of that fact," *he said.*

*Diamanta frowned, she had not thought of that. She smiled back up at the man.*
"Perhaps I would not look at a weaker man like that? No, I am sure I would not."
