"You're a curious child." So many of the young women who attended Halcyon seemed to strut, just as much as the men did. They liked to think themselves on equal standing, bet, if he had to wager, in the right situation, they would crumble easily. This girl, however, she didn't put on heirs of false bravery. It appeared she was rather timid, and submissive. Interesting. Strange how such a little gesture could tell you so much about a persons nature. Sometimes a first impression was all that you really needed. "An apology is not needed. How were you to know, mon cher?" Vallis smiled pleasantly, placing himself on the bench next to her.
Giving his head a light shake, he pushed back the key cover once more, "No, if I had wished to play this night, I would have been doing so upon your arrival. Your presence has never stopped me before." Folding his hands together, he rested them in his lap. "Forgive my lack of manners... I am Vallis Besson. Indeed, an instructor, though, you are not in my class, and have very little need for it." Why should humans learn about their kind, and how everything in their existence happened to progress. "You're Alice, no? Alice, I would like you to play. Pay my presence little attention."
The girl was friendly with his childe. She was fresh in the girls memories, which may be why his attention still remained on her. If Lily intended to be so distant, he could make her uncomfortable, giving his own attention to another for one night. One, that he knew would be an easy target... if only the school weren't breathing down his back. How their rules annoyed him. These children were coddled far too much in his opinion. If they were going to live in the world of supernaturals, they should be exposed to the darker side which they would eventually have to face. "Play." He said. It was not a request, but rather an instruction.
