Austin was a third year, and although he seemed older, he was still only 13. She also had some weird gems on her eyes which did accentuate her jade green eyes, but was it really necessary? She did spend the majority of the night under the mask, so no one really saw them until now. At least people saw them.

The last thing the third year wanted was to go inside. Going inside meant that the night had to come to an end, and he really didn't want that. He was having so much fun, and it was kind of nice to have a pretty girl he didn't know on his arm. There was an air of mystery about her, even with her mask off. "I think the ghost said something about picking a girl and boy for something. But if you wanted to leave, that would be alright. There's no way I'd be picked. I don't know anyone who would vote for me." And the one girl who would wasn't here right now. "But you on the other hand, you should be the one who wins. You're really beautiful." He felt that it needed to be said again. To let her know it wasn't the mask that made her look good. She made the mask look good on her.

"Me, on the other hand, I just don't want the night to end." He lead the girl to the dessert table. He hadn't had any dinner, and he knew it was too late for any, so he decided on candy to satisfy his hunger. He picked up a few candied feathers and handed them to the girl. "For you M'lady. I promise I won't steal them this time." As for himself, he picked up more of the candied fairy lights. They really were delicious, and he hadn't had any in a long time.
Tora smacked her head with the palm of the hand not holding her mask. "Billywig rot!" she swore. "The best dressed competition!" Even though the ghostly band that had been playing music all night interrupted the dancing not twenty minutes ago to remind everyone to vote- "I forgot to vote," she said to the Gentleman. So dubbed the Gentleman by Tora, since neither of them seemed inclined to share their name. It would break the dreamlike, mysterious quality to the night.

"Geez, all these compliments! Thank you!" Tora really didn't know what else to say. She wasn't used to being flattered so by boys, even younger ones. The thought that this younger boy was actually flirting with her in earnest crossed her mind, but she decided to brush it aside. He had lost his date earlier and had ended up dancing the rest of the time with another, newly met, girl. That combined with the general mystique the night created probably would lead him to say some things he wouldn't normally. Besides, Tora wanted a new friend and it wouldn't do to push this boy away because she thought he was flirting with her when he probably wasn't.

Nothing could stop her though from taking the offered candied feathers. But if he was trying to get out of something... "How very ungentlemanly! Trying to get out of buying me more feathers!" she joked before breaking off a piece of feather and popping it in her mouth. And just in case he took her seriously, "I'll still take these though as partial compensation." And hmmm would he really not steal? Tora held her feathers subtly on the opposite side of her than where he was standing. He had been proven to take feathers right out of her own hand just to spite her and she wasn't taking no chances this time 'round.

"To be honest? I don't want this night to end either," Tora said with a heavy sigh, her thoughts switching to something deeper than just candy. She threw her head back and gazed up at what stars she could see through the light of the Masquerade. Her favorite things in the whole world. Recently they had been her only friends, too. Tora thought she had seen Adrienne here somewhere but, as she had been for the last several weeks, they ignored each other. Not that Tora would have wanted someone like her to ruin this night with her self-absorbed, 'I don't need help' attitude that was just- Tora suddenly realized how quiet she had gotten. "Sorry 'bout that. Just got lost there in thought," she said, rousing herself and smiling weakly at the Gentleman.
