[color=ed145b]~"Oh please, darling!  You flatter me so~!"~[/color]  Claudia chuckled smiling to Echo.  What a peculiar name, she thought, but still just as adorable as the innocent lttle flower she was, a flower that smelled just as sweet too as the woman caught hinto of her perfume.  She mused pleasantly observing the girl, thinking of how cute she was exploring everything, her curious, whimsical nature.  Twas obvious she was not from these parts, perhaps not even part of this world, but it mattered not to Claudia.  She smirked, a devilish curl of her soft ruby lips.  How could she get this sweet little thing all by her lonesome?

As she pondered this, a server had come up to her.  Once he spoke her name, she nearly hopped out of her dress, whirling around excitedly with a cheerful greeting, [color=ed145b]~"Oh my~!  Quinton deary, is it really you?  By Hecate, it's been years since I last saw you!  You look wonderful, darling!"~[/color]

What a surprise to run into an old chap, at a private ball of all places too.  Claudia lightly kissed both Quinton's cheeks, being careful not to tump over his tray.  She took one of the wine glasses delicately into her hands, but before partaking, she gave the young man a wry smile.  [color=ed145b]~"Hehe~ Now I do hope none of these are laced with poison, you cheeky thing."~[/color]  Of course Quinton would be foolish to pull such a stunt here.  Claudia was just giving him a hard time.  Eloquently she sipped of the sparkling red, a pleasant smile crossing her lips.  [color=ed145b]~"Ahh...excellent.  A nice Vintage, sweet but with enough of a bite on the end.  A good choice, dear Quinton."~[/color]

She turned to the blonde Echo, a soft snicker.  Not many were a fan of good wine she presumed.

[color=ed145b]~"Indeed, my charming Echo, like a scene from a fairytale."~[/color]  She agreed with another sip of her wine, setting it aside.  [color=ed145b]~"My fair maiden, would you care to dance with me?  I would be honored to grace the dancefloor with your beautiful presence.  Ah, but where are my manners.  My dearest Echo, I am Claudia DeFeren.  [i]Enchante[/i]"~[/color]  The woman curtseyed and kissed the blonde's delicate hand softly, gazing up to her with a warm, radiant smile.
