[ the door of the car closes with a light thudas he gets out. slips the sunglasses off his eyes & onto his head, nestled into his hair; he's dressed rather casually today, red dress-shirt with its top two buttons undone & the rest in a suit-like attire. seems to blend right into the crowd as soon as he enters the building, surrounded by people who live to sell their looks. ignores the gazes, entirely faithful to his purpose at present. he only stops once to ask for directions --

"Tell me. Where would Brianna be at this hour?"

& he saunters into the area, standing in the shadows as he watches the flashes of light caress brianna's form, appreciative. ]

Oh my, will this be a date?

[ notices said gaze but teasingly smirks in reply. slips said arms into the empty space, quickly adjusting it to her favor, though she doesn't button it up as she faces him bodily again. ]

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ buttons from top to bottom, taking extra care for his fingers not to accidentally brush up against neither her skin nor her bra. eyes seem to darken in a strange hybrid of morbid interest & disdain as he focuses on this task. ]

Invite states that anonymity is preferred.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Ooo, now I'm curious~

[ if she notices she doesn't say anything, nor does she waver with the bright, curious look on her face. would decide it's not in her place to question him either way. ]

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

A half-effort of a masquerade. But it piques my interest.

[ last button done, brings the jeans down from his shoulder & hands it to her, himself wandering towards the dressing table in search of favourable accessories. ]

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

[ watches him from the corner of her eye, holding up the jeans to take a look at them, content in staying in the shirt and underwear for now. has more important things to think about. ]

Would I happen to... know these people, dear brother of mine?

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ the look of disdain subsides as he inspects two possible necklace candidates & thus his response sounds rather nonchalant. ]

You may share half your name with the host. [ pauses, considering. ] Hostess, perhaps.

[ doesn't say anything for a while, fingering the material as she stares down at it. then slowly, very slowly allows a wide smile to cross her face, though she controls herself soon after. ]

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ turns on her heel and walks on over to albert, lifting slightly to kiss him on the shoulder. peers over at the necklaces, as if she's curious. ]

I suppose I will have to accompany you, then. Wouldn't want to be rude.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ lifts his final choice in wordless askance of her opinion. ]

Shall we surprise each other?

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ looks at it, head cocked to the side. finally nods, turning around to lift her hair up and away from her neck. ]

That sounds like fun.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ turns as well to face her back, tilting his head in quick thought while he puts the necklace on her. hands falls to her shoulders, moving in lightly massaging motions while leaning his head close to an ear at the same time. ]

I'm looking forward to it.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ is grateful for the touch, head rolling back slightly within the motions. really wishes they were home right now (more privacy, less wandering eyes), but that can wait until later. ]

Mmm as am I.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ & the touches continue. ]

Try not to let your kindness show.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ hums some more in approval, eyes once again sliding shut. ]

Oh my, but that will be quite difficult to do.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

It's worth an effort.

[ eyes close again as he drops his chin onto her shoulders while the hands snake themselves around her waist. doesn't pull her close, but is an embrace all the same. ]

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ lifts her hands to place them atop his own, finding herself swaying slightly to and fro, the motion barely there despite that. ]

And don't you smile too much, either.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

Ah? Then what sort of expression should I wear?

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Surprise me.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ thoughtful silence, little movement. there are only brief twitches around the lips & corners of his eyes as if in experimentation. ]

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ too bad she can't see it at the moment, though that's probably for the best. she's in too good of a mood to break their trance for another few moments. ]

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ those are the moments that he'll use to slip back into his smiles, shaking his head once. presses his hands down against her waist to bring her closer to his chest. a kiss to the shoulder, maybe a light nip. ]

Will this be worth my effort?

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ chuckles lightly and shakes her head, glancing up at him with a tilt of her head while pressing a little further against him. ]

Most likely. I do owe you a proper meal still, after all.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

That you do. I hadn't forgotten.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

And what will it be this time, hm?

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

Promised me a maid, did you not?
