Jasmine tried not to look surprised, yet her eyes widened at Xisa's proposal. She felt a little uneasy, this being kind of awkward because only a few weeks ago this man tried to kill her.
Yet at the same time? She almost felt like refusing would make the situation worse, maybe not now, but later. She also didn't want to risk giving him the idea that she was 'afraid' of him.
Jasmine gave Andy a reassuring smile (or at least the best one that tried to keep him calm and tell him "it'll be okay") before turning back to Xisa, gently placing her hand in his and following him.
"I suppose Sir, yes, it would be an honour," Jasmine replied politely, "not every girl gets the chance to dance with a king, afterfall..."
She wasn't sweet-talking him, and she wasn't rude. She was polite, respectful just as she should be. This was how her mother raised her. It was the smart way to act in front of your enemies.

"That is good to hear." He said he started to dance with her. He lead the dance with to the soothing music.

Jasmine followed Xisa's movements carefully, gracefully. She had to admit, she never knew a time that she would ever be so close to an enemy...
He was a bigger man than she had first thought. The small girl's arm rested up on his massive shoulder, he was built so much she never once thought he'd even be able to dance as well as he did.
But he did. Now if only he had the more gentlman-like nature to go with it...
"You are a fine dancer, Sir," she said, not one word of a lie.

"Thank you, milady" He said as he continued the dance "So, how are you doing tonight? is your evening going well?" He said it with no emotions

"Yes, Sir," Jasmine kept up, her movements wonderfully complimenting Xisa's leading ones, "the evening has done me well. I must say this has been quite the experience for someone who's never been to a ball before."
She noted how emotionless he was. It wasn't just an odd occurrence on his part, either, it was something she could always hear, always feel...it was like the man had no soul.
...Probably why he was such a heartless fool, she thought.

Andy...was...pissed. She left him behind for a SUMATA!? He felt like he really needed air and walked outside, it would be bad if he broke the treaty by using Getsuga Tenshou on him.

She wasn't stupid, Jasmine knew something was wrong as she saw Andy out of the corner of her eye suddenly disappear. She wasn't sure what it was, but it was probably something she would have to look into afterward.
And afterward? Would probably be pretty soon. Jasmine was polite and respectful enough to accept a dance, and even though Xisa proved himself to be a much better dancer than Andy...the event was still missing something.
Somehow, some of the crazy things her mother always talked to her about finally started making sense - she always thought her mother was just talking to herself, she'd finally gone crazy. No way, it turned out Jasmine was the crazy one.
She sighed deeply. Things were getting confusing between him and her, or at least that's how it appeared on her side.

Andy walked outside and looked back at the party, "Whelp, screw this."
He leaped off the edge of the dome building and landed on the ground, he then took of running to the fields. He needed to get out of here, or at least out of the party.

"Where did Our orange haired friend run off to?" He asked her, continuing the dance. They dance for a few more minutes, then the music stopped. Xisa turned around, but before he did, like a gentleman, he kissed Jasmine's hand. Xïsa walked off with a drink and talked some Sumatans.

'I don't know where he went...'
"I believe he may have gone out for some air. Maybe he is unwell, I'll have to go see to him soon," Jasmine had answered Xisa. Her eyes widened afterward as he kissed her hand, and where she was lady-like enough to curtsey to him, something made her feel sick to her stomach.
The moment he turned on her, she hurriedly took off outside.
"Andy? Andy, are you--"
She stopped, looking around at the empty space. 'Gone...?'
"A-Andy? Andy!" Jasmine stepped out further, calling into the night. She didn't see him, she didn't hear from him, and this further supported her assumption that he was upset about something. Her shoulders drooped, her face fell into a frown, and she leaned against a wall, the sickening feeling worsened in her.
'I don't get it...it doesn't make sense for him to just leave like that. We had had so much fun, too...
(Why are you talking like that?)....huh?
(You're weak! Don't just stand there, get your pretty little bod moving and find him) And then put that boy in his place when you do!'
If she was actually taking the time to think of it, it appeared 'side a' and 'side b' of her mind were finally working together. Jasmine's face flashed a bit of determination as she stepped forward yet, looking around and brainstorming. If she were Andy, what would she have done? Where would she have gone?
She got close to the ledge of the building and looked down. It was a bit of a fall, yet somehow something seemed only too "Andy-like" about it to ignore. So up and over the edge she climbed.
...Huh, maybe she should have gone back in and told Kara instead of just going? After. Yeah, afterward she would.
"ACK!!"
She slipped, she fell, she didn't know how to land. Jasmine took a nasty tumble to the ground below and as she lifted herself up, she gasped in pain and reached for her wrist. It moved yet, and painfully, but she really wished it didn't.
"...a sprain..." she mumbled, feeling it over. She sat on the ground yet, looking around. Where in the hell would he have gone?
((judging by Xisa's post I assumed I could go along with this? >.o If problem, cut off at 'paragraph #6' so you aren't waiting on me to change it))

"Are you ok?" a man asked from above. He jumped down and walked to her. "That looks like a bad sprain, Did Xïsa do this to you?"

Jasmine looked up at the man who appeared in front of her, a little surprised. She hadn't thought that anyone had seen her fall...
"Uh...n-no, Xisa didn't do this. I kinda...fell, is all. I'm trying to find a friend who seems to have...left..." she looked around again before she got to her feet, "I'm sorry. I'll have my mother look over my wrist later, though. I have to find my friend, first..."
But where? She wouldn't know. He appeared to be long gone.

"Well, do you want to go to find him?" He asked her. "I mean the party is almost over."

"It is, which is kind of a disappointment because I was kind of hoping he'd be around for the last dance..." Jasmine slowly admitted with a sheepish smile, "but I suppose that's not how it's working out - I suppose I am going to go look for him. He seemed a little upset earlier, I think."
She winced at the pain in her wrist, looking it over quickly herself. It was swelling already, but that was something she would worry about later, she had things to care for that. She took the next moment to look over the man before her, with the greying black hair and all.
Maybe she shouldn't have told him that much...she didn't know who he was, so she wasn't likely to trust him right off the bat. Yet, he didn't seem to be a...terrible guy...
"So...who are you, sir? If you don't mind me asking," Jasmine quietly asked.
((She may not seem like it, but Jas's patience is wearing thin, especially with the sprain - she'll more than likely head home soon and wait to give Andy hell later XD))

"I am Volkmar Gamlxltoe. Here, let me help you get up" He said as he stuck out his hand of her.
