Mai walked into the glittering ballroom, her black dress dragged along the ground slightly but not enough to get under foot. Her glittering gold mask sat in place covering most of the top part of her face, her silver-gray eyes scanned the room watching the beautiful specticul that was going on before her.
Moving inbetween people carefully Mai sighed softly, she felt a little irritated about having to be at the ball but it slowly was growing on her. Smiling to herself slightly she headed to a small table away from the dance floor where drinks and small nibblies were.
Grabbing a glass of fruit punch she moved away from the table and went back to watching everyone dance as she slowly sipped her drink. As soon as her glass was empty she sat it down on a near by table just as the music ended, looking up from the ground she looked around once again just as a man came and stood in front of her.
Turning her head she looked at the man giving a small smile her eyes sweeping over him taking in his apperance quickly.

Kia weaved in and out of dazzling and bold white satin clothed tables that were covered in silver stars, sapphire crescent moons, jade and Emerald crowns, and of course the crimson ruby hearts. Candles were a lit on top and there were so many here tonight, it puzzled Kia. They were all from different kingdoms of course. She herself was from Rike, the mountains.
She spotted a girl of whom she had never recognized before. Kia's dark teal dress fluttered around her ankles and she gracefully walked towards her, her silver mask set firmly on her face. The rule was not to reveal yourself if you could help it, according to Ruler Akil and Ruler Yuri for the ball.

Smiling slightly Mai watched as the man walked away from her as she gracefully decilned his request to dance, shifting her hair slightly which hung straight down her back instead of over her shoulder as it normally did she looked around once again loving the clothes people were wearing.
Sighing slightly she started moving though people again careful not to bump the people with drinks in their hands as she did not want to spoil their dresses and suits, smiling she found a rather empty spot in the room which was not to far from where she had been standing moments ago, where she now stood had a very lovely view of everyone.
Swaying slightly along to the music wich was playing Mai smiled as she watched everyone having such a good time that she gave a soft laugh as she tried to see if she could figure out who people were.

Her braided brown hair dazzled in the strobe-lights that zoomed about the room, along with the elegant crystal lights that were very dim but, still lighting its way about them. Her hand clutched her black purse as she walked towards the unknown girl in the gold mask. She felt like she should make friends with her.
"Hello," Kia said politely to the girl, her own eyes studying the face and trying to place a name to her. Alas, the magic of a ruler kept them all from asking and revealing names. It WAS a Masquerade after all. Kia's teal dress flowered itself about her hour-glass body. The ruffles pinned with dark roses and Kia offered her hand for the girl to shake if she wished to.

Mai turned her head to the girl who spoke to her, giving a light smile she took the girls hand and shook it carefully "Hello" she said still smiling as she moved so she faced the girl fully.
"Are you enjoying the ball?" she asked over the music as she placed her right hand on her hip as she used her left hand to hold her dress away from people moving past them, taking in the girls apperance she smiled a little more "I love your dress it is very beautiful" she added.

She smiled as the girl took her hand and she nodded before she spoke in her lightly-accented tone.
"Indeed I am. And yourself?" asked Kia, thinking of ways to get to know this girl and getting around the magic of the spell that Ruler Akil cast upon the ball.
"I love yours as well," Kia thanked her with a small unseen blush at being compliment. She didn't get that kind of thing too often. Kia smiled again, and it was purely genuine.
"May I ask. Do you attend the Academy?"

"I am enjoying the ball a lot" Mai said still smiling with a slight nod of her head, listening to her she gave a small laugh "Thank you.....Ahh, I am a little too old to attend the Academy my dear. But I'm guessing you do".
Giving a small smile at people as they passed them by Mai moved slightly to the side as two people passed them arm in arm, "Have you danced with anyone here yet?" she asked still smiling softly.

A smirk graced her lips at her statement.
"I'm probably just as old, too old to attend the Academy but, here I am, a student there. Yes I do attend as a permanent student." Kia felt the need to tell her. She couldn't help but to trust the woman. The word permanent student showed that she was either an immortal, vampire, or some other creature 'unhuman'. Kia could see other people of assortment of ages pass them by as the two of them talked.
"I've only danced with a young prince or so he seemed. It is somewhat complicated to know with... these on our faces." Kia laughed with a small inclination of her head, the feather from her mask rustling as she did so. "You strike me as someone of my years." Kia admitted as she again peered at the woman. Sensing an odd familiarity from the woman.

Making a nod of her head as she listened to the girl Mai got a glass of punch from a roaming waiter "I see" she said softly, "Well that must be very interesting being a permanent student" she added gently as she held her glass of punch in her right hand as she played with her hair slighty with her left.
"Yes, it is very complicated to know who we dance with, let alone where they come from....And maybe I am....I feel very old when I tell people how old I am" Mai laughed sweetly, her laugh sounded like soft bell chimes.
