"No, no. Eva isn't one for flowers." He said as he handed them to her, "And I really want to go with you, Hala. You are my friend as much as Eva is my friend." He brushed his hair back and looked at her.
"You look Beautiful tonight." He said as he looked at her.

Hala looked at Yeligar and sighed. She couldn't back out of this, not when he put in all of this effort. She felt bad now but she somehow felt like she'd feel even worse if she declined it all. And really, just because someone busted her why should she turn around and do the very same to someone else? It wasn't fair...
"Thank you," she smiled and examined the flowers that Yeligar handed to her, "they are very pretty. You didn't have to do anything like this, you know."
A chuckling was heard from the door that creaked itself open behind them and Hala raised an eyebrow. She immediately turned to the door with the flowers and shoved them into the woman's [Annabelle] face.
"Here, Mama, they'll be needing water, we don't want the poor things to dry out!" Hala spoke quickly and slammed the door shut, 'skilfully' evading her mother and any comments she may have had waiting. She turned back to Yeligar with a kind smile.
"I...well, you've dressed very well. Are you excited for tonight? We should be going, it wouldn't look good for the new warlord to be late..."

"Yes, shall we get going?" He asked her as he held his arm out so that they may lock arms. "Are you ready to go to the Ball? I heard it is quite lovely."

Hala nodded and hesitated a moment before sliding her arm in to link with Yeligar's.
"We'll go and try to have ourselves a good time. I'm sure it'll be a good night," Hala answered sweetly, though really in a way dreading what was to come.

At the ball itself, Vincent approached the front gate dressed in a rather nice suit. It was black, and he tried to give his shirt under the thick coat a quick adjustment before he went to seek out Eva.
He hadn't seen Hala or Yeligar. In a way he was glad, he didn't really want to see her, especially with him.
"Come on," he said to himself, "let's just move on. Now where's the girl?" He looked around for Eva, he could already barely remember what she even looked like.

"So, you can't even remember my name for that short of time, Mr. Vincent." A voice came from behind him. She was in a dress that was covered in feathers.
"Nervous about Hala?" she asked.

Vincent turned and looked at Eva with a hard stare. He would have jumped right into the song and dance of flirting with her if she hadn't brought up Hala immediately, and almost knowingly at that.
"...Nervous? There's no need to be nervous," he spoke simply, "there's nothing I can do if she's already seeing some man. I'd beat him up but somehow I don't think that'd solve anything."
He folded his arms, now fully on the defensive. Why did Eva suddenly bring Hala up like that?
"S-she doesn't mean anything to me if that's what you're wondering. I bet you she only said what she did earlier about me and women because she was mad at me--for what, I don't know--don't let it keep you from having a good time though, alright?" he lied.

"So, you are willing to beat up a warlord of Crepusculum, for a woman that means nothing to you." She said, "You either owe her big time, or you are having a hard time to woo her. Either way, you better behave yourself when they get her. If you hurt her in anyway, you will pay." She saw a carriage coming up. "There they are!~" She said with a smile.

Wait, did he seriously just get threatened by a woman? Something was wrong here, and very unmanly. Vincent was about to retort with something stupid such as "I'm not scared of you" when Eva pointed them out. Vincent's heart plummeted into his stomach then, his 'joy' reflected clearly in his face as his features dropped and didn't even move to look in their direction.
"Great," he mumbled reluctantly. Why did he even bother to come out here again?

Eva waved hi at the carriage as Yeligar got out. He quickly stuck out his hand to help Hala come off of the carriage.

Hala's heart beat a little faster as they pulled up. Taking a deep breath, she gave her hand to Yeligar to let herself out of the carriage. She smiled as she saw Eva, biting her lip slightly as she also took note of a faceless Vincent.
Somehow she couldn't quite tell if this was going to be a good night or not. As she stepped out, she gave Yeligar a sweet smile.
"This looks very nice, doesn't it? Everyone here is dressed so nicely..."

"Yep" Eva said as she looked at Hala. "I can't wait to go to the ball." She grabbed Vincent's arm, and squeezed it. "Are you ready too?"
Yeligar looked at Hala, and stuck out his arm, "Shall we?"

Vincent couldn't take his eyes away for too long, he quickly found himself beginning to glance over to the two of them. Hala looked...absolutely beautiful. He figured she would have, and just seeing her in that dress hurt him even more--that could have been him with her instead.
His eyes immediately shifted over to his rival. This was most important, staring down the one-eyed clown and trying to figure out just what he had that Hala liked so much that Vincent didn't. He let out a heavy sigh to try to keep himself from getting angry...okay, so he was very jealous. Very, very jealous. And wanting to strangle the other man.
"Yeah, let's go," he finally answered Eva, taking his arm around Eva and guiding her in. He kept glancing back at every moment to check on the other too, though.

"Do you know him, Hala?" Yeligar asked Hala as they walked in towards the ball. "He seems to want to look at you a lot."

Hala chuckled despite being quite angry at Vincent, a genuine half-smile snuck itself onto her lips as she nodded at Yeligar.
"'Commander Vincent Loque', or otherwise self-known as 'Amazing'. He showed up on my doorstep late one night nearly dead and I brought him inside to care for him. He spent the week in my home recovering and once he felt good enough to push his luck he tried to hit on me," she couldn't help but smile, remembering that first week, "I kicked him out. He left but now and again returned only to be kicked out again, he's very persistent. Eventually he started sending me letters and odd trinkets, I would write back when I could assuming he was staying in one place long enough for a letter to reach..."
Her face fell then as she continued, "...he sent me an invitation to the ball, originally. This is the dress I had bought after I thought that perhaps I should go."
