Knock on Inion's door

[Leo]

Well, it looks like he received an invitation to a Valentine's Ball at Claremount, what a good opportunity it would be for him to mingle with the rest of the people here. For the past events he mostly came in and out or simply avoided it all together but this one, this one he should pay attention too. Not to mention that if the entire Inn has been invited to this event then he should act in haste to invite a certain fairy before the opportunity is gone.

Since was going to a ladies room, even if it were to only stay outside the door, he took a couple items with him. One was a small boxed corsage of purple dendrobium orchids, simply accented with a bow. The next was a small box of colored pencils and a sketch pad. In his culture, it was rude to visit someone and not bring a gift.

At Inion's door he knocked and then leaned against the frame to wait. Leo hide what he had behind his back.

[Inion]

It wasn't Inion that answered the door, a young redhead did. One look at him and she grinned. "hmmm you must be Leo and I would assume you are looking for Inion. Let me go get her." She turned and half skipped away form the door. "Mom there is a handsome man at the door for you."

Since the door was left open Leo could see Inion give the young lady a playful punch in the arm "did you lose your manners in that school?' she didn't wait for an answer and was standing at the door giving Leo a bright smile, she leaned over to him and gve him a small kiss on the cheek "well Sir Leo it is a pleasure to see you, and what do I owe the honor of this visit?"

[Leo]

Set and prepared to speak to the young lady who had opened the door, Leo found himself laughing lightly when she turned and went back into the room. The teasing remark to Inion following. With the doorway clear he leaned into the room to look at what was going on, a smile on his face. Then, when Inion showed he stood up and crossed the items he had brought in front of him.

"Sir Leo?" He said with a chuckle. "I have been promoted. Something for you, and your charge. I have come to ask you to the Ball. I'd be a lucky man if you'd say yes."

[Inion]

When he looked into her room he could see Juliet talking to the other redhead that answered the door and yet another redhead moving around them. They looked like they could all be sisters. They seemed to be gathering things to get ready to go out. Inion seemed to be the Lily amongst the roses.

Inion gave a little laugh, "of course you have been promoted, any gentleman bearing gifts deserves a promotion." She took the gifts "the corsage is beautiful. I suppose I wil have to find a gown to match it so I can wear it to the ball, because it would be my pleasure to go with you."

The other three moved out the door and Inion stopped them "Hold on, you all have lost manners. Juliet smiled at Leo, thank you for the gift Sir Leo." Inion stopped the next one "Leo this is my daughter Aryanna." this amazed most people as the young lady looked about 17 or so and Inion looked as if she was only about 22. "Pleasure to meet you Sir Leo." The next girl stepped up "and this is my soul sister Fia." She nodded to him "pleasure" Inion looked at them "I will catch up with you go on down." A giggle from all of them as the headed downstairs leaving her alone with Leo. "We were just heading out to do some shopping, I suppose I should look for a gown. Thank you for asking me, I may not have gone." she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
