"Umm...where are we going...anyway?" The girl was shy which made Aiden smile, she probably had her own ideas where he was taking her after seeing the girls in the crowd. He might as well play along with her for a while, maybe he could embarrass her, that would put her off him, right?
Aiden stopped at the two large oak doors he had entered the room in and with his mind he made them creek open slowly on their own. "To my room" he answered her with a grin tugging on her hand slightly as he carried on leading her out of the ballroom. It technical terms he wasn't lying to the girl, he didn't take much to lying but that didn't mean he abreviated the facts of the truth.
Now in the hallways of the castle the door closing the chatter of the ballroom behind them he slowed down his pace, let go of her hand and removed his black and white feather mask. Looking at her for the first time without the constricts of his masks he smiled her removing the bobble holding his hair back allowing it to fall over his shoulders, the white streak gracefully resting on the curve of his cheek. "Don't mind the mess" he said noting the trail of blackened clothes along the hallway which he had previously stripped out of upon his arrival to the ball, "it'll get cleaned up later" he turned to walk back down the hall way not gripping her hand with his large one in comparison this time.
He wondered what she had thought to seeing his face properly for the first time, most people had different views as his hair being so long either repulsed them because he was male or it fasinated them because of the heridorty white streak. Aiden figured he got at as a kid due to stress.
As he continued down the hall leaving her he called over his shoulder fiddling with the cuffs of his shirt as he undid the restrictive buttons "Are you coming or are you just going to stand there?" he said shaking his head, she probably thought he was being a bit of an ass, well, he hoped she did.
