Elias[/center][/color][/h1][hr]
Elias rolled his eyes and stared confidently into Alexis' eyes.

[color=royalblue]"Alexis, my dear, I've only been doing this my entire life.[/color] Elias smiled and snagged a drink from a nearby platter, smoothly bringing it up to this lips for a sip before setting it on the table next to him. [color=royalblue]"I know a thing or two about being inconspicuous in the most distracting manner. If you don't want to stand out, join in the crowd. If you and I spend the entire evening together, speaking with no one, won't we seem a little odd? After all, it's normally quite the event when an incredibly rich, handsome, unwed noble comes into town."[/color]

Elias' eyes flashed with mirth as he led Alexis across the room, a cocky smile playing over his lips as he cast a playful glance over towards a group of nearby ladies'. A couple turned away, disinterested, however a good portion of them showed obvious interest.

It would appear that's all that these events were for. Youth and mature alike searching for partners in a fevered race for riches.

As the pair made their way around, Elias quickly noted a few odd characters, and he even went as far as to spot a Fuschbao (Werefox) in her true form. It was odd, the way a Grimm could see right through a beast's disguise and discern their true form. To Elias, it was as if a person was shapeshifting on the spot, but anyone who wasn't a Grimm couldn't see a thing; to them, it was just a normal person taking a drink, not a fox casually stealing their way into the heart of a nobleman.
