"We shall see," Brand said as he started up a fast-paced version of his waltz steps. "If it happens, at least we'll both know that it won't be personal."
Brand managed to keep up with Artemis, even though all he was doing was recycling ballroom dance steps at the energetic music's pace.

Jackie smiled at him and raised her glass. "Sounds like a date."
However his second comment made her frown and finish her drink. "Now you sound like a fucking stalker." She turned and began to walk away from him. _____________________________________________________________
Nathan grinned and followed after Beatrix. Looks like charm won out. "Looks like you're a bit flustered. Perhaps we're going to discuss it in private?"
((To Be Continued elsewhere)) ______________________________
Artemis nodded respectfully and spun through the song, throwing swing and country moves into the waltz. He wanted her to have fun? She would have FUN.

"No, wait," Bek says. "I was just, y'know, having a good time. First con, memories and all. Plus my phone's camera doesn't work quite right. You just seem really nice, and I haven't really gotten to talk to a bunch of people."
He hopes to himself this isn't the last he sees of her.

Brand managed to make it all the way through the rapid pace of the song, finally catching Artemis's hand and spinning her about...and finding himself a little surprised to end the spin with her practically right up against him on the final beat of the music. There was a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead as he looked down at her, an amused grin on his face. There was a pause as the DJ switched songs to "Falling in Love With You" by The King himself. Brand actually felt heat begin to rise in his cheeks and he quickly stepped back, covering his break in character with a fluid bow.

Jackie sighed. "Why? it's not like my cosplay is especially good."

Artemis also stepped back. "I... have to go find someone. If we meet again I hope it's not as enemies."

"I echo that sentiment," Brand said. "With luck perhaps we will meet elsewhere. Beyond all this."
He took another step back and waited for her to go to her charge. As long as his obligations did not conflict with hers everything would be fine. Surely they would.

"Sounds to me like you might be making excuses. Are you camera-shy, Miss Jackie?"
Bek glances about. "There have been some impressive costumes, though, haven't there?"

Artemis nodded and left the ball. _________________________________
"Yeah I have so many good photos, both for use in paintings and as pure photography." Jackie replied, conveniently ignoring the accusation of being camera shy.

Brand watched the fighting woman leave the ball and sighed. It had been enlightening, certainly. He decided he would not tell the convention staff what he knew...he was pretty sure they had already deduced at least some of her intentions. Her fate was now in her hands.
He returned to the bar, once again eyeing all the lovely ladies and contemplating which one...or more...of them might be keeping him company tonight before the Big Event.
