"Not as we were before Kyne of House Thanduil. " she recovers her hand with a gracious movement and looks at the elf a few seconds " I think they are going to start our song... " she finally says with a smile that can be glimpsed among the theeth of the dragon mask.
"If you'll excuse us gentelmen " she adds and the two man bows graciously but their discontent are patent.
" I hope that you know how to dance this one back in Elentári" she says as they enter de dance floor.
The music is rather rhytmic and she dances around with easy despite her dress and mask.
Lyreis do not see any weapon on the two men that were talking with the woman before she and Kyne left for their dance, but he can see another pair of men, at one of the sides of the dancing floor, that aren't really mingle with the crowd. One of them wears a hound mask and the other a gorilla one, and the elf can say that they matched their own boides and persoanlities. Both are clearly looking at the woman in the red dragon mask and Kyne dancing.
Before he can take a better look he hears one of the other men that were left behind.
"Who do you think you are you elves? You come here and behave as if you own the place?"
It seems that the bull mask wearing pretendient hasn't taken very well that the goal of his affections is dancing with another guy. The owl masked one remains behind him, apparently surprised by the reaction of his friend, but it's hard to tell with the masks on.
To read a particular person with the masks I would say that it will give disadvantage on the rolls, please take it into account if you are going to roll for Insight during this encounter to discenr the true intentions of someone who is wearing a mask.
Hurosk rises as he comes back to his immediate senses. Rubbing his nose to get a foul odor out and snacking his mouth after tasting something rotten, he says to the cleric, "There are some evil creatures in the area - undead and fiendish. Though I can't sense which way they went." The half orc scratches his head as he looks around the alley for other clues. "Shall we join our friends inside? I don't like the way this mist is acting."
The arrogance of the smile Lyreis offers to the man answers exactly the question. "Wherever I am, if the competition is as easily upset as you, then I probably do own the place." The smile never wavers as Lyreis walks round the man like a cat stalking prey "This is a pleasant enough establishment, and my friend is clearly enjoying himself, and probably will for some time. If you wish to continue this conversation why don't we move to a more private location, if you wish we could collect our weapons on the way?" The mask doesn't hide the hardness if his eyes as he faces the man again, "Consider this an option, but then please consider others because I have been killing men for nearly a hundred years, and I have become exceptionally good at it." He holds himself with style but also in readiness.

Kyne had never heard that particular tune before, and he didn't know the dance, but he manages well enough to follow the rythim and after a minute he is able to mimic all the steps of it while the music continues.
Meanwhile at the outside...
We can continue with the inside scene the cue it's just for the other players not to be shy and post without fear of interrupting the inside one ;)
The bull masked man doesn't move but at the sound of the word weapons, a faint whimper leaves his lips. He is literraly inmovilized by fear, but his friend comes to rescue him, grabbing him from the shoulders and speaking, almost stammering, to Lyreis
"S..sorry Ssir. We do not want.. troubles.. please ex..excuse my friend... "
It is now, hearing the owl masked one, that Lyreis notice that they are young adults, the owl masked one probably a teenager. He looks as they go to the other side of the room but he can still can hear the owl masked one speaking with the other one.
"What's wrong with you man? You almost get yourself killed! Duels are a very serious matter!! I do not know what's wrong with you. You are not yourself lately..."
Molly nods and the two members that are still outside are stopped by the guards at the entrance, though the stop them nearly by the gate for the mist has become a thick fog.
"Invitations, please" one of the says a little bit startled.
Lyreis, slightly shocked as he realises the masked men are so young takes a step after them, as if to stop them both but doesn't. He turns to see Kyne picking up the steps of the dance and nodding in approval that he seems to be managing well enough. Looking back towards the door he looks for signs of the others who he would have expected to have finished checking the alley and caught up by now.

"Some say that giving your name could gave someone power over you... " says the red masked woman "... call me.. Khalistraax" she laughs a little bit, obviously amused.
The rest of the party should be lingering at the alley, or perhaps they have encountered more problems to pass the guards. A thought came to Lyreis. What if there was something in that alley and they are in danger?.
"Well, Khalistraax," Kyne answers with a smirk, holding her close as the music demands, "tell me. What do folk in Delethorn do for fun, besides drink and dance the night away?"
"That depends on what kind of entertainment you prefer. Highwood can be a bit stiff, but Duinarda... that's where the real fun is to be had. One thing to cloud the senses and another to excite them," he continues as he runs his fingertips down Khalistraax's spine. "That's an industry unto itself there."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Genuinely torn now Lyreis looks about the room a knot in his stomach, Kyne may be where he wants to be but the battlemaster has no idea where their friends are and the behaviour of the young humans has made him curious, they came looking for signs of drug use and he has encountered someone little more than a child almost getting into a fight over something trivial in a manner that shocked his friend. Lyreis gives another look over at the pair of youngsters to see what they are doing.

The cleric grits her teeth, eyes on the ground as her frustration with the stupidity of guards. Swallowing hard to keep from saying something rude, she begins:
"Four of us were invited - you've allowed our two friends to go ahead while we checked the strange fog coming from that alley. Some fell creature caught my attention and we got separated. One of our friends carries a glorious double-bladed weapon like nothing you've ever seen before."
She stares at the guard, ready (if it becomes necessary) to create a mind link between them to encourage him to let the pair inside.
