The reason for his lack of introduction was a common one at such parties as this grande ball. Alice could not fault him for it, and knew the blame laid solidly on her own thin shoulders. Yet manners would have to wait for a time, Alice had been taught a lesson. Careful was the watch word that paired with its sister, watchful. Yet as the man moved to pull her closer, Alice invoked her vampyric strength to take a slight step back keeping the distance between them as it had been. "Oh, I'm quite sure not all men are dogs, some are even snakes." Alice's own temper being brought to the forefront. While she was a meek and friendly creature in general, that demeanor hid a will of steel when the tiny tailor was pushed.

"Then please prove it." Alice agreed, granting him the chance he sought. For who was she to deny someone a chance? She was in a very public place and did not plan on slipping into the shadows with anyone any time soon. Thus she felt secure enough to grant the small favor. "But you have still failed to introduce yourself." The woman noted with a sly smile under her mask of green and black. "While I would gladly do so myself, is it not proper for the gentleman to go first in such things?" The bells of alarm in her mind clamored in great peals. Those eyes... She would not forget the cold blue eyes of Liam Enduro which she had once found so charming. Yet Alice held her judgement for better or worse. Eyes did not tell all after all. Liam would not be here. He dared not be! Her fingers ached for needles and the bastard wrapped in ribbon to be used as a pin cushion. But Alice had had her poliet, doll like eyes wide and innocent behind the mask as she thought horrid thoughts within. It would not do to scare a human after all.
