It didn't take Pandora long to agree to leave the room with her. Aria smiled once more at his voice as he spoke.
Taking hold of his hand, she lead the way through the crowds of people towards the back of the room. There weren't many people gathered in the back - most of them had gone to dance or were off at another part of the room. She spotted a door that appeared to lead out to a terrace - it was open, and there was a guard on it. But he let them pass, moving around to the outside of the door just to keep watch on them.
Aria lead Pandora over towards a stone bench that sat near some stone-potted plants. She dropped his hand as she sat, motioning for him to join her. Smiling at him, she spoke up once again. "If it isn't too bold of me to say, I quite enjoy your voice. A deep bass, naturally. Of course, I figure I should say that I'm part CanciΓ³n. So really, I guess its to be expected." She laughed, the fingers of her right hand making their way to the edge of her mask. She seemed to think for a moment, before she slipped the black mask from her face.
Turning her body to face Pandora, she spoke up again. "Well, here I am. Maskless. Simply me..." her voice trailed off, as a nervous smile began to edge its way onto her face. It was a bold move; what if he thought she ought to just keep the mask on? She mentally slapped herself and told herself to chill out - that he seemed like a gentlemen so things would be fine.
