Dull and boring, full of pomp and airs. Leif Arrant crinkled his nose, able to smell the arrogance even from here as women with high hair and men with tall hats and thick beards strolled around and spoke like dogs in men's clothing. It was a hideous, despicable sight and it made Leif's stomach rot at the thought as to what these nobles were clucking about like hens in a barn; and by his standards, their noise was just as superfluous as the chicken's.

His dark green eyes scouted the room, taking in each guest as his lips sagged. He tried to avoid this ball, but not without consequences, and found himself dolled up, and powder faced as he was suited up and forced into a carriage. Was it a sad fact his father had to put him at sword at his head to get him to go? But he'd rather not be in here in Matron's Hallow. Sure the lake was beautiful, but the festivities were not. Even from where he stood near the punch bowl he could hear the women giggling, and knew their stories and pointed noses spoke only of their vanity and vulgar obsessions. He turned away from their doe eyed looks and took another scoop of punch for himself. He couldn't get enough alcohol to drown this place out.

ANd to make matter's worse, his betrothed would be here; an idea that made him repulsed and set his nerves on edge. He'd rather not meet her, for he had no reason to, but his father insisted, and the sharp end of his sword brought him here, to a Festival of Light,( or whatever the hell it was called). He knew not, for it was a recent addition to the new ceremonies in Connlaoth. The festival was about beauty, but he saw none of that here as he took his drink and made his way outside onto a long balcony that curled around the entire southern edge of the manor house and from here, one could spot the glittering colors of the lakes and the lamps that were set upon it like dazzling blots of twilight.

That might have looked beautiful, or so he thought. But nothing else.
Sighing again, he reached into his breast coat pocket and produced a cigar. Lighting up, Leif leaned against the outter rim and slowly inhaled.
This was going to be a long arduous night.

There was only one thing Valentina hated more than her father. Nobles and their excessive, over-the-top parties. She always felt like a black sheep never wearing one of those stupid, hundred pounds heavy dresses and always refusing to put much makeup on her face. But, this time she had to "mingle around" as her father explained to her. After ten minutes her lips started twitching from too much fake smiles. The conversations she had so far with the men and the ladies were disappointing and plain out boring. Valentina was annoyed by the snobbish behavior and some really stupid subjects she had to talk about. She constantly searched for something more interesting to pass the time.

Valentina frowned when she remembered her betrothed was somewhere in the crowd. He was probably some old lord with dozen of children from his previous marriages. No, you should think positively, she said to herself, he may not be all that bad. The girls around her continued giggling about how handsome were some of the young lords. Unfortunately for them, Valentina wasn't really interested in that, so they just continued gossiping without her. Meanwhile, she continued scanning the place. It was big and grandiosely decorated, full of exotic fabrics and flowers.The group of young women she was standing with continued to talk about some noble's wife who cheated on him because he was too old.

Although she had a fiery argument with her father and her maids, Valentina did manage to convince them all to allow her to wear one of her more simple dresses. The corset was too revealing because it wasn't a perfect compromise. At least the skirt was light and she had no problem moving around. It was in a royal blue color and with some nice golden embroidery. It was probably too simple looking for Connlaothian fashion, and that was why she got more than one questioning look from the ladies. Also, her hair was too short to make any kind of bun from it, it was barely reaching her shoulders so she just kept it loose. It wasn't like she was following the latest trends.

Valentina reached for a glass of vine, near the food table. Unfortunately, she stepped on a piece of fabric from one of the long, big skirts of a nearby lady, and she royally stumbled and fell straight on her behind attracting the attention of the guests. Men raised their eyebrows or had amused expressions and ladies were giggling. Valentina sighed. It can only get better from now on, right?

Leif had been boredly observing the night when something caught his attention. Though he was outside on the balcony, he could clearly see within to where the yellow chandelier light lit up the fiasco of skirts. He smirked against his cigar, allowing himself to exhale a breath of smoke that wafted out from his lips and dissipated up and around his face like a smoky, white veil. But he said nothing, turning from the scene, a subtle grin on his face before it turned as sour as the cigar smoke. His frown deepened when he spotted his father amongst the crowd, and turned his eyes away to glance back at the woman who had fallen, but didn't care to move near her to help. He hadn't seen her at one of these events before. Probably new blood. Then again, he didn't always attend every event there was. Taking another drag, he breathed out the smoke through his nostrils, but didn't let his green eyes leave her.

Valentina got up from the ground, not too graciously. She was flushed a bit and wanted to run away from this stupid party as far away as she could. Unfortunately for her, her arrogance wouldn't allow her to flee, so she just took the drink she wanted and leaned her back on one of the nearby walls. Yes, people were still watching and gigling in the crowd, but she just gave them one of her fake smiles saying 'everything is fine'. Nothing actually was. She could feel her father from the side, watching her, probably with a big urge to strangle her somehow.

In order to avoid it, she turned her head towards the opposite direction: towards the balcony. It was dark outside, but not dark enough not to see him. He was looking straight at her, his gaze was blazing and even from this distance she couldn't help but notice the handsome features and his dark green eyes. They sure were something. Valentina didn't take long to snap out of it. Instead of a fake smile she gave to everyone, she just kept her face neutral.

"What are you staring at?" she murmured more to herself, hoping he would get the cue and move his intense gaze from her. Valentina took a sip from her glass, but still unable to look away from him.

Leif watched her, subtly smiling at the attitude she was exuding, though it was evident even in this faint smile that it was soured. She was haughty, which was.. refreshing, but not too uncommon among the elite. She probably thought herself better than most, so he simply stared back at her, eyes as intense as ever before he lifted up his own punch glass and knocked it back until it was nearly gone.

It was obvious he wasn't going to move his eyes away from her. Valentina took a deep breath, slowly realizing that this has become a small competition between the two of them. It was obvious he was an arrogant rich man, which wasn't too unusual for this kind of party, but the fact that he was alone in the balcony was strange.
She kept looking at him, because she simply wanted to win this unoffical contest. Slowly she gave him a sour smile and raised her half empty glass, like a salutation. At least he should now how much he was getting on her nerves, no matter his appearence.

Leif set his now empty punch glass on the balcony railing he was leaning against and raised his cigar to his lips, and proceeded to blow more smoke through his nose. If her 'salutation' registered with him, he did not show it and continued to nurse on his cigar. He idly wondered how young she was. Maybe she was sixteen and new to these affairs. It would give her good reasons to stare back. Still, it was something different, and outside of etiquette, but he wasn't about to let his green gaze drop as he kept that half leisured, uncaring, but intense stare on her while his entire body exuded his brooding nature like the slow, hypnotic dance of his cigar's smoke. And once again, he blew more smoke through his nostrils, just to feel the scenty burn.

She felt anger racing through her body. He could ignore her all he wanted, but she wasn't letting go of his gaze just yet. It came to her mind, that perhaps she should go and introduce herself, but she didn't want to seem interested in him or polite. Actually, she wanted to tell him some nasty things, which probably wouldn't be consider ladylike. It was probably more because of the party and everything around her than her own irritated attitude towards him.
To Valentina, he seemed like a man who wasn't interested in many thing, like he was easily bored. That was why she was surprised by his persistance. But, she boldly continued to look at him, feeling her father's eyes burning the back of her head. And again, Valentina wasn't showing the best manners and was going to get into trouble. At that moment she didn't care, she just wanted to stare-out this man and win this little duel.

Their little, childish duel of stares was destined to fail. For Remmis Arrant had seen his son, and knew that if he was taking homage by himself on the balcony, he was failing to socialize at the party. It was only as he neared that he realized who his son was looking at through the window and gave his son a dark grin as he approached.

"Like what you see, Leif? That's Miss Corrent." And he paused, his own cigar's smoke brewing between them. "Your fiance."

Leif didn't miss a beat. Thank the Gods he wasn't nursing his own cigar before he moved to turn away, ensuring he pushed his empty glass off the balcony before stalking off away from his father. Naturally, Remmis was pissed.

"Lief Arrant! Where are you going? I demand you return back here this instant! Have you even been introduced?"

But Leif ignored his father's calls, heading towards the balcony's stair case and quickly made his way outside into the garden, knowing full well his father was glaring daggers at him, for he could feel the weight of his stare on the back of his head. He didn't care, and continued until he disappeared into the hedge-maze that wound it's way like an endless serpent int he back yard. Maybe he could claim to have gotten lost inside there all evening. Such a thing would be a dream, and after a time of weaving his way through the maze, he found a stone bench in a remote corner near a smaller fountain and laid out upon it, his face up at the stars, one knee bent and his cigar at he ready between his fingers.

Fiance..
She was his fiance.
And the idea curled his stomach into acidic knots.
Fiance... that little girl inside was meant to be his.
His frown deepened, and his eyes remained glued upon the night sky.

When Valentina saw her opponent leave after a talk to, she guessed the man was his father, she was happy. And again she has won. She took another sip of her drink, finishing off her glass and slowly going back to the crowd. One of the ladies called her with a wave of hand.

"So, interested in the mysterious balcony man?" the lady obviously just wanted a gossip and Valentina didn't feel like giving her anything.

"No, not really." she said, her voice sompletely flat.

"Riiight." the lady winked at her "As cute as you are I doubt he would be interested. Many ladies tried, you know, but his cold personality usually just makes them cry." she continued in a sad tone.

"And who is he, anyway?" Valentina couldn't keep curiousity out of her voice. The unnamed lady grinned on that question.

"Leif Arrant.. I am sure you've heard his name." the Lady said with a smile.

"Nope, first time I ever heard it." Valentina shaked her head and excused herself as she left to the table with drinks. There was something familiar in his name, but she was sure she never met him. She always had problems remembering the names. Valentina bit her lip, trying to remember, when she saw her father approaching. Oh-oh, let's avoid this. She decided it would be better if she pretended to have to go to the ladies room. Valentina left the large ballroom and raced through the empty hallway running in a not-so-elegant manner.

From where Leif Arrant was perched, lying out in the gardens, he noticed  flicker against the tall hallway windows of the manor house as a figure shadowed past the lamp light's glow. He lifted his eyes, watching a woman rush past with leisure interest before realizing, with a subtle smirk, he recognized the girl. But after a moment, that grin faded as he frowned.
Right. That as his fiance. And any thoughts of amusements were buried away.

Where can you run and hide from your own father? Valentina rushed outside the large manor and went to the back. She was sure he will com after her sooner or later. Valentina hoped it would be later. The gardens seemed calm enough and empty enough for her to relax. She wasn't feeling completely relaxed, and continued to turn around herself in order to see if she has been followed. After deciding she was alone she sat on the grass, even though there were more than one chair around her.
"I hate my life and my father and every damn noble in that manor." Valentina said to herself. It was quite good actually. Perhaps she should move to a secluded part of the land and spend her time shouting offenses no one will ever hear. She let out a laugh at that thought. Gardens were way better than parties anyway.

Leif heard her running long before he saw her, and it took quite a lot of effort to see the woman. And he knew it was Valentina before he heard her voice, but when it was confirmed, he frowned and turned to lay on his belly. His cigar smoke drifted up from the tip of the ash collecting heavily at the end as his green eyes stared at one of the hedge walls that, from the way he made out the young woman's voice, had her located right behind it. There was a single, hole in the shrubs where he could catch a glimpse of her on the ground, and studied her in silence for a while before speaking.
"Do you often times speak to yourself?"

Though he was sure she must've smelled his cigar smoke before he spoke, he thought nothing of it. she was probably in her own little world, truly believing she had found some sort of sanctuary. He had wanted to believe that himself, but he was not that stupid. Being a realist meant you saw the bad in just about everything. And there was much bad to be seen.

She was alone and happy and the whole world she lived in was looking just a bit brighter. And then, she heard a man's voice.
"Only when I think no one hears me." Valentina said to the unknown man, trying to sound like she wasn't surprised by his presence.

By the looks of it they were very close, but since she didn't really pay attention from where the voice came, she couldn't quite pinpoint his location. Valentina suspected that he could see her so she didn't make any moves, or try and turn around. That was when she smelled the cigarette smoke. She was surprised she didn't notice it earlier. Perhaps she really was spending too much time in her own little world.

"And do you often talk to women you don't know?" Valentina asked, enjoying the smooth grass she was sitting on.

Leif grew quiet a moment, staring listlessly at the hedge between. Then he turned back around to lay on his back side, and peered back up at the sky and took in a long drag. When he spoke again, it was through smoke.
"Only when they invade my private space."

"I didn't realize I was invading." she said, her voice a bit edgy. She was so sure that his 'personal space' was really big, since he probably needed a lot of space for that gigantic ego of his. She didn't care for his words, and she was not easily offended. Valentina was used on people tellng her things and she knew how to return them. But, no matter what she didn't have any intentions of leaving.
Then she realized, she still didn't have any idea who he was.

"I bet you don't know a lot of things, Miss Corrent," he simply replied.

She frowned when she heard her name.
"I am sorry, you have me at a disadvantage." Valentina said "I don't believe I got your name." Even when she tried to sound polite it usually sounded sarcastic and edgy. Valentina gave up trying in the end.

"You'll get my name soon enough," he said coldly, then dropped his cigar to the ground and simply walked away, oil slicked boots nearly silent on the garden pathways as he began to weave himself through the maze and away from the girl.

When Valentina finally found out where he was, she also found out that he left. As hot headed as she was, Valentina immediately jumped. Did he really think he could just leave like that? It wasn't polite, and he didn't even introduce himself. She remembered the path she came to the garden so she just followed it until she was again in front of the large place.
Unfortunately, Valentina didn't check out herself. Some of the ladies near the entrance giggled when they saw her. Her back was greenish from the wet grass she sat on and her cheeks were reddish because of the cool air outside. But, it didn't really matter as long as she came back to the party. Her father was probably going to kill her because she was absent for so long. Gods, help me.
