Raava cast a suspicious eye upon the elf. He reeked of mischief and would be an interesting creature to watch. She hoped heartily that he wouldn't end up like the previous specimens that had to be cast out of Mirage to take care of their violent business. |

Bennington entered the room and gazed disdainfully at the party that had gathered, and chuckled quietly. |

Outside of the Mirage, thunder cracked and lightening flashed. The trees that surrounded the place shook violently as wind whipped them all about, the torrential downpour pounded the roof of the building. It had all started so suddenly that it was likely to take every inhabitant by surprise save for the most regular of customers that had, over time, grown used to the shifts. |
|
Raava's grin greeted the sudden shift of existence from one world to another. |
|
Bennington rose, ran a hand through his hair, and glanced back at the door. |
|

Malyss glared out from under her hood at the commotion. Irritation grew thick in her gut as she beheld the arrogant display of the blond headed man across the room. |
|
The elf found amusement, the more he watched, in the ego of the stately human. He found it most entertaining and decided that to further his own entertainment, he would see what effect interrupting the man as if he was common riff-raff would have upon him. Gabriel stood, brushing his hands down his clothes so they smoothed out, and then crossed the floor to Raava. |
|
"You, elf. Yes, you. Perhaps the clash of metal and your screams for mercy will be music enough? What say you to a duel?" Bennington said, drawing his sword, "If respect here is paid to those who show it, perhaps you'll learn to pay it to those who earn it. Draw thy tool, or are you the coward I'd expect to be made of a man of a race of such short stature?" |
|

Gabriel turned to face the man, his face alight with a grin and a giggle escaping his throat. The man was quick to violence as a solution, which just would not do. For a moment the elf was quiet, merely staring at Bennington with wide, emerald eyes, but when he spoke again it was in that same smooth voice as before. |
|
Bennington snarled, grasping the handle of his sword, knuckles turning white. Then, he breathed deeply, and sheathed his weapon. |
|

The elf tilted his head to the side slightly, a little annoyed that the human had the gull to continue running at the mouth about cowardice, among other things. Slowly he turned on his heel, letting his eyes once again rest on the form of Bennington. His tongue slithered over his teeth, pressing against his incisors as he considered his words. |
|
"Thy tongue is sharp, and thy wit is sharper. I have never before met anyone who would defy me so. Though you fear battle, you fear not death. Is this bravery, or do you just not care anymore?" Bennington asked, a bit more compassion and admiration in his voice, but he took a stinging tone as he said the last sentence. |

'What a delightful little show', Raava thought as she took a step back and watched the interaction between Gabriel and Bennington. She did not interfere. She would not unless weapons were drawn and since things seemed to have simmered a bit she simply orchestrated a change of music. Something lively with an slight folklore-like feel to it spilled into the establishment. |
|
"I'm starting to take a fancy to you, Mr. Gabriel. But, I suppose I'd best just leave you two otherworldly creatures alone. Thank you, Raava, for the hospitality. I should remember to drop by here should I need anything." Bennington said with a laugh. |
|

She took Gabriel's hand and pulled him out into a fairly empty section of Mirage. Raava whirled into his arms, skirts swirling out eloquently, until her back was pressed cozily against the elf's front. |
|
Bennington heard the clamping of hooves ahead. |

“Pretty boy?” |

"Well, at least I know we speak of the same man." Remy said, rubbing his head, searching for the correct word. "Merci beaucoup." He turned on his heel and ran out the door. |

The music played on and some of the patrons began to join the first pair of dancers on the floor. Some danced alone, some with a partner, and still more danced in a small grouping of their companions. |

Gabriel had become entranced by the enigmatic woman and when she spun out of his grasp and disappeared with little more than a giggle he was a bit disappointed. Everyone around him was still enjoying themselves at least and he wouldn't ruin that. Everyone deserved to have a little fun and now that his fun had vanished into the crowd, it was time to return to the liquid fun he had been enjoying before her arrival. |
|
She perched high in the tree and relaxed. It was a rare thing for Malyss to do and it was unnerving to let her guard down just that little. She knew of the sinister things that lurked in the murk shadows and wound themselves up in masquerade, things that would spring and slaughter at any given chance. Her world had ever been one of survival of the wariest. |
|
Gabriel was caught completely off guard by the waitress and her run away drink. All he could do was let his mouth fall open in a small gasp of surprise as the liquid crashed down onto his lap and made a shiver run up his spine. He looked to the waitress, about to tell her not to get so upset about it, but then she began to clean the mess off of him. He jumped back closer to the wall, holding his hands out, stumbling and stuttering over words, obviously a little startled and uncomfortable now. |

Bennington swung at the centaur leader with his sword. The centaur blocked the shot with his massive forearm. The sword stuck into his arm a bit, and he simply wrenched the sword from Bennington's grip. At the same time, he grabbed Remy and Bennington by their throats and hoisted them into the air. Remy writhed in pain and, with a sudden burst of energy, stabbed his sword through the arm that was holding Bennington. Bennington hit the ground with a thump and immediately, he crawled back into a tree. The centaur hurled Remy aside like a ragdoll and ripped the sword from his arm. |
