The booming music rings in John's ears where he sits in front of the stage, front row, at Eglise de Pin. The mesmerising string quartet paired with the dazzling lights, dancing across the stage, we're nothing compared to the performer that the Primogen's eyes were solely focused on. He sat frozen in his seat, as Valentine looked at him
--------------------
eyes sparkling with something that John was only able to compare to the jewels that adorned his bedazelled chest area. 

The sight drew him in, awoke something in him that he was not familiar with. It was uncomfortable but all the same intriguing and uncooth. 

As the performance ended John took himself to the backstage area. A multitude of performers were undressing but none of them caught his eyes. That was until he saw the tail ends of long black hair dissapearing into one of the dressing rooms. 

His once beating heart roused once more in his chest, an uncalled for rushing to his cheeks arose and he hurried, with an unfamiliar sense of ugency to the door which he knocked upon. 

It opened and behind it he saw the performer, still dressed in the burlesque outfit he had seen moments before. 

John took a breath and prepared to speak.
--------------------
*Entrancement* *Awe*
"My dear, you simply must follow me home. Prepare. Get as dressed as you wish, it matters to me not."

John leaves the room to grant them privacy, and as they quickly prepare to leave John feels the worry of old, like waiting for a date, but it is too quickly gone. A rare feeling of fear to which nothing else in the night can compare.
