"who are you, and where are you from" Liam rolled his eyes.

Neo tilted his head. "Well, My name is Neo Alexander Caddel." he tossed his head.
"And I was raised in the isle of Circe."

Liam thought for a moment, "Your the youngest Son of Lord Caddel I assume, I wasn't taught about you. Which is odd. I'm guessing you didn't grow up with your father?"

Neo blinked a few times before settling on a response. "no. I didn't. I am his basterd child. I grew up with my mother."

"ah, as I figured, thats why I don't know of you. I know all of the noble bloodlines. At least, up to about five years ago, after that I don't know as much." he shrugged.

"Well," Neo gave a little twirl of his hands. "I am obviously older than 5 so that would make sense."

"hm" Liam paused for a moment, "there is still something off about you"

"Oh?" he looked over his shoulder at the festivities below. they really should be getting back.. "It'll tell you what, Dance with me and i will answer any and all of you questions. no restrictions." He held out his hand and smiled convincingly.

Liam looked down at Neo's hand warrily. "dance.. with you…?" His mind was trying to wrap around the thought of two guys dancing together, was that even ok? He looked up at Neo, "You don't even know my name. yet you are willing to tell me anything I want to know for one dance?"

"Crazy isn't it." Neo's hand still out stretched. "It's in your favor even. Any questions, no strings attached whatsoever."

"And what do you get out of it?" Liam asked skeptically.

Neo smiled and softly grabbed Liam's hand. "What do i get out of this? I get to dance with a beautiful man."

Liam felt a slight blush rush to his cheeks and tried to form words, only succeeding to make a fool out of himself. Focus he thought, shaking his head slightly.

Neo stepped closer to Liam, "Do you except?" he asked, breathing the words sweetly.

Liam moved his mouth to say something, but no sound came out, so he just nodded, mentally cursing himself for not being more proffessional.

(Sorry bout the wait, family issues)

Neo grinned and led Liam back to the ballroom. Tucking his cigar into the pocket of his suit as they left.
Once they were on the floor, neo led the dance, swaying and twirling around the floor starting out slow, but moving faster as the song continued.

(its alright, everything ok?)

Liam focused more on not stepping on Neo's feet then the actual dancing. Occasionally looking around to see if his brother was anywhere near.

(for the most part. Me and my mother don't see eye to eye with most things tho)

As the song slowed, Neo tilted his head and looking into Liam's eyes. "Questions?" he asked. Not dropping or relaxing his stance.

(I feel that)

Liam, having forgotten what he was supposed to be questioning stared blankly at Neo for a moment, before blinking and clearing his throat, "you have a strange… aura about you… why?"

(It's ok tho. We take brakes from each other periodically so as to cool down)

Neo smiled as the music started again. "I'm sure i don't know what you mean." He said, spinning Liam then pulling him close.

Liam felt a slight blush rise to his cheeks, "I'm sure you do. People react to you, why? people react to me by not noticing me because I have been trained to be unnoticeable."

Tiling his head, Neo though about the question before answering. "Well, people react the way they want to. I was raised to, well, shape that in the slightest." He shrugged. "I don't know. That's just how i grew up."

"And where did you grow up?" Liam inquired, finding the answer as more of a loophole than anything.

(sorry)

"I'm sure i've already told you that no?" Neo smiled and led Liam off of the floor and to a table.
He waved to a waiter to bring them drinks, then turned his attention back to Liam.

"I don't know much about the isle of Circe" Liam crossed his arms on the table, one hand going to run his fingers over the cord around his neck, the charm still tucked underneath his shirt.

Neo's eyes flowed Liam's hand as it traveled to a bump in his shirt. his smile faltering just a bit.
"Whatcha got there?" he asked, completely ignoring Liam's statement. He reached over and grabbed his hand. Folding his fingers through Liam's.

Liam pulled back quickly as a reflex. He scanned Neo's face, "nothing." He stated, forcing himself to relax. If Neo saw the charm, it was very likely he would know what Liam was, it was a well known symbol. The assassins that trained him were often hired by nobles to protect them, and to kill other nobles.
