Alexis had the best instincts about people. She let go of Elias' arm and wandered over to the new baron who immediately took her hand up to his lips and kissed her hand. Alexis had been wooed by many a man in the last few years. She just couldn't be pushed into marriage. What husband would be okay with her fighting beasts? She was a Grimm, not by blood but in her mind that didn't seem to matter at all. She smiled up at her suitor. 

[color=f6989d]"Why Baron Von Hess, you make me blush like a new debutant."[/color]

She blushed appropriately and allowed him to take her arm and pull her hand into his arm gripping her more tightly. She knew what he was and she knew he would likely make his move when he got her outside to himself. Part of her was excited to get to the fighting, the other part was a little bit scared as was always the case. Fear, training and her instincts are what had always kept her alive so far. She allowed him to lead her to the balcony. Alexis knew she had to be patient with him. He would want to taste her flesh a little before risking himself on an unsavory woman.

[color=f26522]"You are a breath of fresh air Miss Grimm. I had so been hoping you might be here tonight." [/color]

He towered over her looking at her hungrily. For a split second she wondered if he was thinking of her as his next sexual conquest or his dinner, or both. She smiled flirtatiously and turned her head to the view over the Broussard property. He moved closer behind her and she could feel his body crushing into the back of her dress.

[color=f6989d]"I pride myself on my differences my lord. I'm glad that I amuse you."[/color] She felt the hair on her neck rise up as he leaned down and pulled her hair back from her neck. His lips grazed her neck and she shivered when she felt his tongue lightly lick her neck softly in a kiss. Hearing his intake of breath hinting at both kinds of hunger she chuckled lightly and put her hands up on his chest and firmly pushed him back a little. 

[color=f6989d]"My lord, we mustn't do anything that might tarnish my reputation. We are in public here on the balcony." [/color]She gave him a knowing smile and let her hands lay on his chest and she grinned as he took her hand and suggested a walk in the garden. 

[color=f26522]"Of course, shall we take a walk through the gardens?"[/color] She nodded.

It was really too bad that he was a monster, she thought. He was really a very handsome man. As she reappeared in the ballroom for a moment she caught sight of Elias she gave him a look and a wave that wouldn't look suspicious but so that he would know that she was leaving the house with the Baron.

The Baron was very smooth and somehow skirted around the crowded areas of the house and he slipped her out of the house through a door that lead into the garden on the other side of the large estate. Feeling the adrenaline pumping in her veins she turned as he scooped her into his arms and he began kissing her. She pushed him back a little and he just changed to kissing her neck hungrily. She pulled him further into the garden laughing softly as most girls in her current position would do. When the house was a good distance off he picked her up and ran with her into the trees along the edge of the property.

[color=f6989d]"Baron, you should put me down. I can run as well." [/color]Alexis could almost smell the feral nature of the beast starting forth. The instant her feet hit the ground she pulled her skirt off revealing her skintight pants and silver sword. He stared at her form and a shrill scream of anger rose through the air. It made her skin shiver a moment.

Alexis stepped back into the light as he changed into a fully angered Vetala. Looking around for his partner she asked the beast. 

[color=f6989d]"You Vetala's normally hunt in pairs. Where is your buddy at hmm?"[/color] Keeping her eyes on him as he started to stalk his prey she feigned going left as the vetala went right. The battle was on. She avoided his claws and she was clearly going to have her hands full with this one. This one was very strong.
