Suddenly, all she could feel was the breath leave her lungs as this exotic creature appeared before her.

It was her eyes.

For a long moment Kayla could not have told you their colour only that her gaze seemed to draw her in. She could sense her body shuddering as she tried desperately to focus on remaining calm and forcing herself to breathe. Then, like a drowning man breaking the surface against the sucking pull, she gasped in air. Her eyes firstly seemed as dark as coal, were actually irises thickly ringed in black with dusting of silver near the centre. Kayla could personally not keep her own sharp amber eyes roaming over the rest of this woman's captivating form.

Her slight muscular form and sun kissed skin betrayed her active lifestyle, unusual for one so privileged. She wore tight dark leather boots that seemed to wrap around her calves almost to the knee, then strong thighs gave way to a stunning dark wrap dress. Simply based on her appearance here and the clear quality of her fabric Kayla guessed she would have to be royalty and for one terrifying moment she could practically feel the fabric slipping through her fingers.

Snapping back to reality she mentally scolded herself realising where her gaze had settled only to look upwards to plush lips painted in a deep red and dark tresses framing a rather amused and curious expression. Kayla quickly flipped her eyes over to the other side of the hall cursing inwardly at her foolishness for being caught.

"Stealthy as the night, my ass", she muttered under her breath.

She watched as the other nobles and royals interacted with smiles disguising their general disgust for others of the same station. Through the crowd she spotted Phelan with a similar, of more bored, expression as he tapped his hand to the hunting knife strapped at his belt, eyes scanning the crowd for any possible trouble when he saw her looking at him. The side of his eyes immediately crinkling in a smile which disappeared into a more gob smacked expression as his eyes glanced over her shoulder. Fighting hard not to laugh at the speed he managed to change expressions into a rather comical appearance. Kayla realised she should see this sight that caused the altering emotions, looked over her shoulder only to see the dark haired beauty walking purposefully towards her.

She moves like a huntress, oh goddess.

"Breathe, breathe you idiot. She is probably only going to inquire why you are here"' she thought as she silently thanked her imitative to wear her new hunting gear. We, despite the fact that even if dressed in rags all the other urban royals would still have to greet her with the respect due to he bloodline. However, she didn't feel all that royal with this woman nearing, her lips slightly parted and those eyes boring into her.
