Eileen stands at the edge of the room, terrified. The people around her glitter and gleam, and every woman is wearing jewelry worth more than Eileen has seen in her life.

"Eileen! Why are you alone?" Tsubaki-hime runs up to her, her diamond necklace glimmering. She frowns when she sees Eileen's misery. "Aren't you having fun?"

Eileen shakes her head. "I don't belong here," she says softly.

Tsubaki-hime puts her hands on her hips. "Nonsense. You're the prettiest girl here." She smiles. "Dance with me."

As she allows herself to be led, Eileen thinks that Tsubaki-hime's smile is prettier than any gem.

Ukyou knows that the men she loves are dangerous. It's easy to see with Kazutaka. His eyes glint like naked steel, and his smile is as sharp as a scalpel's edge. He tries to hide it around Ukyou, but she loves him far to much to let herself be fooled.

Oriya is more subtle. He is deadly like an arrow in flight, like the delicate taste of poison in fine tea.

The men that Ukyou loves are dangerous, but it's only around them that she feels safe. To Ukyou, that doesn't seem strange at all.

Maybe that makes her a little dangerous too
