I inclined my head to Aurianne "Alright dear sister. Maybe if you get your studies caught up then you can join us later."

I smiled at the subtitles of their little banter. "I would love to Edwyn, though I'm sorry you have to miss out Aurianne. Perhaps some other time."

I gave Kearia a heart felt smile the gesture as always lighting up my entire face "You are too kind Keaira the feeling is after all very mutual."

Dear gods, and I thought he couldn't get any more handsome, but that smile... I smiled back, a little shyly.
Then Jasmine caught my eye. The handsome adept had gone and made me miss my cue. "If you'll excuse me." I excused myself with a murmur. I wasn't far from the area cleared for our performance, but between the two points, I shed the shyness and gathered the performer about me. Jasmine's fingers plucked out the introduction ritornello, and I launched into a rather rambunctious aria.

I smiled more broadly at her and winked "Of course I will see you after the show." I then settled in next to Aurianne to listen a pleasant expression etched on my features as I watched Keaira go. I had thought to tell the young woman to relax I do not bite, but figured that might ruin her focus before the performance.

I looked at everyone and no one as I sang. Soon enough my portion of the concert was over. I had sung a variety of styles and genres, in a variety of languages. It would have been better if I had had twice as much time, but all in all I was quite content with how it went. I curtsied gracefully before returning to my seat by Edwyn and Aurianne.

Keaira sang like a nightingale and I was enthralled and carried away by her sweet voice. When she returned to her seat I leaned over and whispered so as not to disturb the rest of the performance "That was incredibly lovely Keaira."

His compliment brought an honest smile to my face. "Thank you." I murmured back.

Not wanting to disturb the other performers I fell to silence while they performed. But when the show was over I turned my attention back to Keaira “Still interested in some after hours mingling? I might even treat if you agree to sing some for me” I offered her a warm look as I maintained my proper posture without even thinking about it. Long training having taught me well on the matter of holding myself to best affect it was as simple as breathing anymore.

Edwyn was intent on the music, and I was grateful. It was nice to know there were people in the audience who actually wished to listen. I felt as if too often we were used in the background.
"Of course." I replied with a smile. "I just have to help clean up, but I'll be done in a few minutes."

I nodded “Thank you, with Aurianne off to study I fear that I might retreat to my cave and lock myself up with all my books if not given proper supervision.” I was teasing of course but that was the gist of it. Not like I lived the life of an exciting single adept. Well most times I did not anyway there were the reoccurring alleyways after all. The thought of the second put a smile on my face.

"Heaven forfend." I replied with a smile. "I'll be right back."
I returned to the rest of the performers. We had a short debriefing, and then gathered up our things. I asked Jasmine to take some of my stuff back, and she agreed with a raise brow. I just grinned, and she shook her head with a laugh, telling me not to have too much fun.
I returned once more to the handsome adept. "I'm back to save you from you fate." I announced with a grin.

"Of course" I graciously inclined my head when she departed to tend business. She really was a cute and pleasant girl and I watched her interact with the others. When she returned I rose and then looked down at her from the differing perspective my height gave.
"Ah you are a chivalrous woman to save me from certain doom." Then trying to be the perfect host "Is there anything particular that catches your fancy tonight for entertainment?"

"You know your house better than I." I told him with a smile, looking up at him. It wasn't very often that I looked up for someone. "I'll trust you judgement."

From this angle I noticed how incredibly striking her eyes were especially when compared with the rest of her features. But schooled as I was I did not stare I simply held her gaze in a warm if lingering manner. “Adept’s Inn then? It is a newer place where those of our profession can go and relax together. Let our hair down so to speak.” Though thoughts of my last trip there slipped into my mind unbidden and made my smile bloom even more.

Oh, he was good. Even as his eyes slid from mine with memory. It was subtle enough that I wouldn't have caught it if I hadn't been captivated.
"Let our hair down?" I asked with a smile. "I could go for that."

“Then off we go Ms. Nightingale” I offered her my thick and strong arm properly curled to my side like any gentleman would. “Which one of us is making sure the other does not get into too much trouble?”

"And who says we can't get into trouble?" I asked, sliding my hand to its place on his arm. His nickname for me made me smile.

I lead her toward the door with a wry grin “Well, if we do you realize I must keep with my House cannon and make sure it is the perfect trouble?”

"But of course, I would expect nothing less." We left the salon and went out into the garden. I breathed in the smell of spring. "Beautiful." I said in a happy sigh.

“Very” I agreed as we continued walking along and passed some fresh blooming yellow roses. I paused and with my arm not occupied with her plucked one then held it out. “I like the yellow ones better than the red ones. I know that is odd by the way most figure such things but it is the way I am. Guess I like the difference.”

"Not a flower I would enjoy from a lover, but from you, the idea of friendship sounds just dandy." I told him with a smile. I leaned in and smelled the vibrant rose.

I laughed heartily at that “I had not thought of that I suppose yellow does not say passion as much. But honestly with me it is just a matter of liking the color.” With that I lead her further through the garden and toward the street pausing to hold the door open for her. “So what kind of trouble are we courting tonight?”
