Cade noticed the change in the music as he finished up his snack, and he offered up a bow and a wave to Artemis before following the enchanted paper towards his next dance partner. Although he hadn’t learned anything more about the rebellion, he felt he had at least found another friend, and that was just as important to him. As he made his way through the crowd of dancers, he caught sight of a hopelessly drunken elf being escorted away from the dance floor by a female orc. It seemed that no matter the level of class an event attracted there always seemed to be at least one jester unable to hold his drink, a thought which made the feline chuckle slightly. Eventually he spotted a more pleasant sight; the familiar faces of both the elegant Sakura and the delightful faun Ilan. He smiled at both of them, hoping their time here was going as well as his own but before he had a chance to ask them about the evening, he noticed his paper had stopped fluttering about, signifying it had found his next dance partner.  

Cade was astounded to find that the paper had led him straight to Princess Millinia. This was an honor he felt wholly undeserving of; while he aspired towards greatness, he knew he had a long way to go before he could even become close to achieving it. Did Avalia herself have faith enough in him that he would be brought into the company of royalty so soon? It appeared so and Cade would not waste such an opportunity, he would be sure to let the princess know where his loyalty lied and hope that she too would judge him worthy enough to fight at her side. His parents had raised him on the stories of those who once ruled with benevolence and light, and his trust that those same values existed in one of the few remaining heirs to such a time was absolute. Cade, with his deepest respect, bowed and avoided looking directly into the royal fairy’s violet eyes. 

[color=gold]“Your Majesty, it is an honor to stand in your presence.”[/color] He spoke with sincerity and reverence as he approached the royal. He felt a strange awkwardness to be standing taller than his royal counterpart, again feeling that it would be much more appropriate to kneel in the presence of a princess rather than tower over her. But in a room most likely filled with lich loyalists such actions would bring them both a dangerous amount of attention. Instead he choice his words thoughtfully to express his admiration of her position, royalty that was only recognized by those who believed that Avalia could once again be turned towards the light. [color=gold]“Words do not express the hope it brings to see you here, dressed as boldly as you are. I will, no doubt, spend a lifetime earning such an encounter.”[/color] He added before offering his hand for a dance.
