Anna followed the mans lead as they danced about, she was drowning out the small talk with thoughts leading back to her mothers earlier concern. "Don't you agree?" She heard him repeat, but had no clue as to what he was talking about. "Erm...yes, yes of course" she gave a sweet smile, her eyes traced bck to the crown and locked on with Lucio's. A smile flashed across her face as she recognized the familiar face. "You're very beautiful, what drew me to you..." she heard him say, and the smile faded. A typical sentiment that didn't woo her in anyway. "Thank you," Anna searched the crowd again for the new face that was beginning to intrigue her. 
The man continued to talk, finally bringing her in a little closer to try and whisper in her ear. She cut him short and backed away,"Excuse me..." she dropped her hands, and gave a quick curtsy before she disappeared in the crowd. Anna walked back towards the table and grabbed two more liquid filled cups, watching the everyone in the crowd. She felt out of place amongst all the others whom were so comfortable with each. Anna knew most of everyone,  it wasn't exactly interested in anyone else at the moment. She finally saw him standing with the mayor talking. Anna clutched the cups in her hands and gracefully made her way through the crowds towards them. 
"Good evening Mayor," She smiled and curtsied to him. 
"Anna! So good to see my dear, looking elegant as ever. How is your father?" He questioned, and then motioned to Lucio. "Have you met Lucio? He has just arrived here". 
Her smile turned into a smirk, "Thank you Mayor, and he's doing well. Also I have met Lucio, I was actually coming to steal him from you if that is alright". The mayor chuckled and gestured for them to leave, Anna handed Lucio the extra cup as she led them away. "You two enjoy your evening!" She heard him shout, as they departed. 
Anna looks to her partner, and took in Lucio's outfit, it was so elegant in comparison to her dress she felt. She had never seen such abstract fabrics, wanting to reach out and touch them to see the quality. Anna found herself staring a little too much, and felt her face flush.  "I-I see you're making friends easily," she stammered referring to the mayor, taking a giant sip of her drink. "I decided to take your advice and partake in some of the fun" Anna swirled the liquid around in her cup laughing. 
"So what do you think?" She questioned, sfarung out to the sea of bodies moving around and interacting. Anna typically found herself being cornered by a man all night, or hung out with a few friends she had made during these events. But tonight, she had a new guest at her side and was actually finding herself excited to be there.
