Isolda Grace. Time: 1st day of the Year of Rebirth. Afternoon 3:00 PM Her interest had finally waned. She had failed to get herself into the ongoing festivities. With whatever last drops of cocktail she originally held emptied from the glass, Isolda let out a deep sigh. "Festivities are such a pain. Even Aria failed to get me out of that mentality..." There was no point in staying in the Grand Ballroom anymore. Even if she stayed, the best she could hope for was hold an attitude of apathy. Of course, it was far more likely that she would get annoyed watching the antics of the more inebriated entities in the area. In the end, eternal sobriety for an undead held both an advantage and a disadvantage. She made her way to the doors of the Ballroom before turning to get a quick final glance at everyone else in the hall cutting loose before walking out. As the doors shut behind her, the sounds of the party on the other end ceased to reach her ears. As she made her way down the seemingly empty hall way, the rhythm of her shoes hitting the ground resounded throughout it. "I see you left the festivities early this year as well, Lady Isolda." A low voice rang from a few feet behind her. "Were you behind me this entire time, Abel?" Isolda turned around to see the tall man who looked to be 30 draped, from his hat to his shoes, completely in black walking behind him. "Well, for a vampire like me who hates lights, there's not much to do. At least watching someone who interests me from the shadows keeps me occupied." "I'd call you a creepy old bat but frankly, what you do seems to be more akin to a teenage boy following around some older lady he has a crush on." "How cold, Lady Isolda. I do this out of hopes that I can one day see the form you took on that day you took me into this castle. Such a shame that you did not turn again today, though. I would have been willing to walk into that Grand Ballroom just to see that demonic form wreaking havoc there." "You even have the intervals memorized. The stalker levels are rising for you." "Yet, you still entertain the company of this stalker." Isolda frowned. For a prideful person like her, there was no greater insult than being called out on her own idiocy. "Ugh, fine. You have a point there." She turned around and started walking away. "Are you really just going to walk off like that?" "It's not like you aren't going to try and follow me or tag along so what does it matter to you?" "Point taken. But, what are you trying to do." Isolda turned her head 90 degrees and looked back to Abel with a smile. "I'm just going to find a way to kill time and stave off some boredom. Care to join me, stalker boy?"
