All that could be seen was a sweep of soot lashes, concealing her ever changing eyes, but nonetheless revealing metallic brushed lids. The darkness here was as overwhelming from whence she came. It reminded her so of the mistress that held her captive. But not tonight. A most shy girl was begging her to keep quiet, ignore the malevolence behind her. A gut feeling maybe. Or the angel on her right shoulder. The impish fiend on her left, was whispering sweetly. Lord Fiora Devereux, they reminded her of him. Though it had been two solid years since she had seen him. Glacial gray eyes had fluttered open. Ananda did the only courteous thing a lady would do, "Evening, Monsieur," her gaze slid past her shoulder while her slender digits coiled about the dark cherry stem to cast over a cloaked frame.
Before she could be asked for a savior, another spoke- a chime against the bass. The attention the woman was given was instantaneous. Her innocent mouth turned up, revealing the slightest hint of dimples. Another had entered the party, now making them four. Stunned, slightly embarrassed, she brought the wine glass to her lips- and by the gods, swirled the dark blush liquor in her mouth, like she had seen on commercials, then swallowed. Ana sat there a moment, shock still pinching her vocals. Not sure she should give her name, she chewed her lip.
Fiora had read her mind though.... so it was possible they could. She wasn't choking yet, like she had around the Mistress or around Mr. Devereux- so she was assuming they were not as strong. But stronger than her. What am I doing here? Best to tell the truth.
A slender hand was offered then, but she spoke low in a mixture of upper Coruscanti and Hapan decor of vocals, "Ananda Jy'Vun," her head dipped in jest and yet again the same glass, still practically full emptied further in to her mouth. She was practically begging the girl to offer her name, take her off the spotlight, however small it was, "nice to meet you...." her darkly lined eyes were on the other woman, asking silently.
