To say the veritable change of atmosphere from a dreadfully quiet carriage ride, to the bustling halls of the Wilde's manse had the Canadian looking this way and that. Overwhelmed by the buzz of conversation, the lilt of music and laughter the likes of the mild-mannered investigator was not used to after journeying thousands of miles without a moment to spare in repose. 

Morgan found himself 'spat' from the flow of the crowd milling about the grand main hall, quite unceremoniously as well. However it gave the man a chance to regain his composure, finding himself in an eerie bubble of calm in a hall bare of any decor or pictures hung upon it's walls. Morgan's gaze snapped towards movement that he swore was the young couple he spotted earlier, a blue ribbon.

However upon momentarily reflecting Morgan wondered why he was so interested in the two [i][color=808080]'Indeed, I am wasting my time following a couple youths?'[/color][/i] the investigator chided himself, shaking his head before turning to return down the hall where the sound of the festivities lightly drifted from busy mulling over the thought of the youths Morgan failed to notice another guest as they briefly collided, the shorter of them being the Northerner himself luckily only stumbling backwards slightly before righting himself. Indeed he had not seen the guest, had he then Morgan likely would have offered a better greeting than to rudely knock a refined lady onto the floor.

[color=808080]"Oh my sincerest apologies madam, I didn't see you there! I had yet to gain my bearings!"[/color] abruptly apologizing to the woman, Morgan assisted the lady to her feet. Initially she was quite miffed yet she seemed to understand his reasoning enough to accept his apology. 

Introducing herself as Madam Scarlett, the lady seemed to warm-up offering her hand to him in greeting. Morgan smiled beneath the silvery mask he wore, he accepted her hand [color=808080]"Mister Shade, pleasure to make your acquaintance [i]despite[/i] our abrupt meeting."[/color] he chuckled amicably good-naturedly joking about their brief collision. Unexpectedly she laughed brightly and warmly, his words charming to Madam Scarlett she offering him a smile and a look that made Morgan feel as tall as a giant. She was noticeably taller than he himself but it made little difference to him, her words and smile made him forget about stature as they ended up accompanying one another back to the party.
