Reinholdt/Ari/Open - After Party
He was a really lovely dancer; following his lead was incredibly easy, his movements sure and the guidance he provided with the hand on her back certain. She executed the turn, her dress flaring around her, and glided back into position as the dance continued. "Fleeting feelings are my life," she told him. "It is, in my opinion, the best - and only - way to live. This evening, for example? There will be no other like it, and that is what makes it particularly enjoyable." There would be other closing nights, other dances, perhaps even other unexpected encounters with the guildmaster, but she would recall this one as a fleeting moment of joy, in which everything had gone surprisingly - and exactly - right.
She was sorry to hear the song drawing to its end, the resolution of the final cadence signalling an end to the dance. "Thank you," she told him with an honest smile as the final chord faded away, "for putting a cap on a rather perfect day." She was sure she would be unable to keep his interest any longer, but she was quite flattered that he had chosen to spend a small portion of his evening conversing with her, even if he did speak in riddles.
