RE A night to die for WraithKuvira He'd thought he had seen the woman, the peacock themed dress definitely standing out and accentuating the shapes of her body as well as her natural beauty, however, he couldn't simply approach her. No, he needed her all for himself, not because he was trapped, at least not yet, but because he simply couldn't observe her with the amount of men that seemed to naturally buzz around her and trail her all across the hall. It was easy to tell who she was just by that simple image alone, men just about ready to fight with each other for her attention. Attention that she seemed to enjoy and amuse herself with at the same time. It almost seemed like a game for her and, much like a peacock, she seemed to swell with pride as she made men both old and young try their best to get just a moment with her. And yet she chose him, much to his surprise which he tried to hide as he turned around, giving a polite smile in return and immediately removing the top hat, revealing a head full of slightly curly, dark hair. His smile was discrete and warm all while he tried to seem oblivious to her true identity. At this point in time, Hugo had no doubts that she was the one yet he still wanted more than just to be convinced. Good evening, Madam. He said, his voice even, though laced with honey as he put on his best act to make himself the perfect prey for this seductress. His hand found hers and he lowered himself enough so he could press his lips to her knuckles in a gentle fashion, raising almost immediately and returning his gaze to her eyes. I suppose I'm not looking anymore, there's no need. I was simply... enjoying myself, but the company is always welcome. He said politely, moving to stand beside her and offering his arm. Care to take a walk? He could grab a drink if you like. He said with a smile, of which only half was visible due to the mask he wore. Try as he might, Hugo found himself having troubles with taking his eyes off the woman. She simply demanded it by just her presence. So beautiful, so sublime, so mysterious and so elegant, he found himself taking her sight in little by little, from the small portions of skin that he could see to the rest that was hidden beneath all that clothing. So lucky had been those who died after having her, after all, what was there more to be had in life if one got in bed with this woman? Not much, Hugo reckoned silently, noting to himself to keep an eye out and not let himself swayed too much. Though it was so hard, nigh impossible to resist her and one misstep would land him as the next victim. It wasn't mere coincidence that she chose him, he who didn't even try to get close to her in the first place. It was clear that while she enjoyed being worshiped by the men around her she found more joy in pursuing those who paid her the least mind. The thrill was in the chase, any worthy hunter and predator knew it. I'm not terribly familiar to this sort of events but I am truly enjoying myself here. He said after a few moments, choosing his words carefully. Giving the impression of someone who was rather new made him even more the perfect target. Nobody would really know him if he was that new, he wasn't an established figure in the high society therefore not many would mourn him or wish to find out the culprit. And not many would bother with noting the moment when he wandered off with the mysterious woman towards the sleeping quarters.
