❝ no one can blame you for walking away ❞

Date & Time: December 7th, several hours into the masquerade
Location: At the masquerade
Characters: Artemis Ratcliff & Azrael
Summary: Artemis seeks out a vampire, and discovers that he has undergone some changes.
Warnings: None for the time being.

It was easy for Artemis to get caught up in the masquerade. He looked quite as though he was immersed in his natural environment, and in many ways he was. He moved about the palace with a confident stride, periodically asking others to dance-- some strangers, some not, but always in the most polite of fashions.

However, after an hour or two had passed, he began to notice that he had not yet encountered Azrael. He had been hoping to see the vampire, and was more than a bit disappointed that they had not yet crossed paths. Curiously, he began to make his way through the palace, hoping that Azrael had not opted out of attending entirely, and regretting that he had not spoken to him about the event ahead of time.

Seeming surprised by their relocation but unbothered by it, Azrael permitted Artemis to move them along as he was. He watched him for a brief few seconds, then nodded slowly. "I know you there, oui," he murmured, making a motion with his wrist as though the notion were not as ludicrous as Artemis seemed to be making it out to be.

"We are engaged to be married, my dear."

At any other point in their history, it would be very easy to tell that Azrael was bluffing -- joking, or intentionally causing issue between them. In this moment, however, it was obvious that he spoke the truth.
