Zosimos and Daemala continued to twirl, the song
changing yet again. The outer circle had more or less dispersed, leaving a die hard group of dancing individuals at the center. Over one on side of the Ballroom, many guests had assembled to mend a wound. Some of the more vampyric guests shot wanting looks, but none dared to strike.
"Ooh!" Daemala gushed as she passed under Zosimos's arm, hearing the change of music.
"Your favorite?" He guessed, falling away from her, then drawing in.
"But of course," She beamed, stepping into a twirl. They danced on for much more of the song, until a note was drawn out. It was here Zosimos swept Daemala into another deep bend. Her arm fell back, as well as her jaw, raven hair cascading to the floor between largely puffed sleeves. Many of the other dancers had taken this moment to strike poses, some extending far away from each other connected by simply their fingertips, others in deep embrace.
