"Oh shush! No one is going to fall, and if they do, then it's for lack of ability and serves them well. It's not as if they'll die either, unless they're terribly stupid, but then again..."

To Andromeda Black, music was music - and after weeks of dwelling in the waters of hatred towards the entire world, even terribly tasteless noise would be excuse enough to forget the outside of the castle walls and enjoy the intoxicating sense of abandon.

Dancing, and allowing others to dance with her without retribution, now that was something that did not happen often.

Of course, a dark gray mask that covered the majority of her fair face aided effectively in this quest.

Not to mention the few sips of firewhiskey the girl had been offered minutes ago. The burnt of the drink against her throat, the anonymity of the night, and the warmth of moving figures around her - it was a type of entertainment she so craved.
