[hr][h3][color=0072bc]Shou Zheng[/color][/h3][hr] Alas, the young German's peace wasn't to last for long. The commotion with the lights may have caused a momentary distraction, one that was further lengthened by his conversation with Jeanne, but in the end Shou did return to the laid out feast for another plate of food. He sampled his way from table to table, and the dishes he found to his liking were piled upon the plate. There was no point in returning to an empty table across the hall, and the dance floor seemed like it had finally attracted some attention.

He paused when he saw that it was Inti at the center of attention though. It wasn't too odd given how excitable and outgoing the boy had been during their conversation, and despite the clash between his style and the Occidental orchestra, it didn't seem to dampen his enthusiasm much. It was good to see that the other boy was enjoying himself instead of beating himself up over a simple accident at the least.

His hands were a bit too full to join the others out on the dance floor at the moment though, and he shuddered a bit as the orchestra continued with its next performance. He preferred his dances a bit more energetic and frantic than this slow-paced swaying. Regardless of his preferences though, they weren’t going to matter until he finished eating his full. There were plenty of empty tables by the dance floor as students migrated from one to the other, but he made his way towards a table occupied by one instead.

It was a shame that her construct had already been folded back into its compact form though. Testing its stability as a perch would have been fun, if incredibly rude and off putting to the heiress. Then again, given how she apparently had to be protected by another student rather than her own creation earlier? She could have used a few more surprises to help refine her reactions a bit. Like Jeanne had said, the machine currently mattered less than the man wielding it.
