Spoiler :

his outfit his hair is braided professionally

Konan had been lassoed into coming...not literally but might as well have. He had done everything he could to avoid it. Numerous people including business associates, agents, and the mayor who apparently once knew his grandfather all insisted. Somehow he was here...four long hours later. A speech from the political suits who said nice things. Everyone from socialites to politicians and everything of wealth, fame or importance in between was here. Gathered here was too many people. He would rather be working in the labratory or campaigning or advocating for mutant and human equalacy.

The sponsors for one of his more successful and public projects finally convinced him here on a compromise. He would wear his hair in a formal braid down his back and he could dress in more comfortable attire. So yes...he stuck out like a sore thumb. At least he put on a tie with the outfit he wore. Wandering toward a balacony window he sighed...shut and sealed. Great. He kept wandering until he managed to slip himself free into some empty room. "Air...finally." He looked at his watch.

Lifting it then through voice prompting he then proceeded to activate and connect with the main AI in his labratory room. "How much longer must I appear at this gathering?" ~Approximately three hours, 45 minutes and 40 seconds...unless you can find an escape...or they dismiss early.~ Sighing he nodded. "Alright then...disconnecting now." He stated and the watch went dead or back to an ordinary timepiece keeper. He rubbed his temples then down the wine. "What a dreary ballroom scene. If they played livelier music or had more life it might be tolerable." He thought as he finally found his way onto a skyscraper viewpoint room. Drinking the wine thoughtfully.

A girl with intricately braided hair and a purple dress stood in the viewpoint room with her back to the door. She was one of a set of triplet models that had been invited to the party. They were beautiful,smart, talented, and a part of many charities. The girl held a glass of untouched wine in one hand and her other arm hugged across her stomach with her phone clenched in her hand. For a party she didnt look like she was having much fun. Her sisters on the other hand were at the party smoozing and entertaining.

Konan looked around his surroundings. He had a feeling of not being alone but it didn't hit him at first. Sipping the wine glass until it was empty he walked around the room still. Stopping abruptly when his roaming gaze landed on a young woman. His mind racing to where he'd seen her. RIght...those model triplets the district attorny was fawning over. He couldn't place their names for the life of him. He put the wine glass down on a nearby table and looked at his watch. His gaze moved to the woman again. "So I'm not the only one whose feeling bored and tortured by this party it seems." He said offhandedly as he continued to examine the room. Hunting for a possible way to a back exit or a quick route out.

The woman jumped and made a sniffling sound. She tucked a handkerchief and her phone into a clutch and wiped her eyes with her hand before turning around. Her makeup was still flawless what little makeup she was wearing. The girls in her family were blessed with natural beauty. Her eyes were a little red like she had been crying. Growing up in a noble family she had learned to always put on her best no matter what was happening.

She extended her hand to shake and curtsied a little. " Araminta Adair. the air was a bit stuffy down there for my taste." Her accent was that of strong British decent. She smiled sweetly even if it came off a bit sad.

Konan looked at the woman out the corner of his eye when she jumped. Scowling at the room in general for failure to have a secret way out. This is just why he prefered his own place. Though he quickly wiped the annoyance at the room off his face as he turned to face the woman fully. She had obviously been crying. Was either stressed out or worried over something. In any case the red eyes didn't do more than give her a woeful look to her porcelian doll features. He mentally was flailing because he could be an ass but he also had a hard time just walking away if some pretty girl was crying. Moving over to her and extended his hand. Shaking hers for but a moment before, taking note of her curtsey and accent, he followed suit and raised it to his lips. Placing a chaste kiss upon the back of her hand while in a slight bow as he'd seen done times he attended gatherings in london and other foreign countries.

"A pleasure I'm sure." As he let go of her hand he introduced himself without any further bow. "Konan Windfeather...I quite agree with you about the air down there." This said he took a few steps back and found himself an armchair facing her to sit in. While he thought over his actions and how to get out of this party before any more hours passed. His actions he rationalized under she curtsied and held a noble and foreign air...therefore that is why he raised her hand to his lips and did the actions he had done. A small chaste kiss often done by gentlemen to ladies in foreign countries...such as england. As much as he was rationalizing it in his mind he was also not sure he fully believed his own thoughts. Moving and set the wine glass he finished down on a coffee table that was nearby.

Araminta blushed when he kissed her hand. It was customary among nobles back home but not many foreigners like Americans knew the custom well enough to perform it properly. The handsome man with the long hair did quite well. It was obvious that he was of noble blood as well.

She moved across from him and sat down in a chair across the coffee table from him. She stood in very tall heels that she navigated like she was barefoot. She sat and crossed her legs. She finally took a sip of her untouched wine and set it down. " For a party it doesn't seem like either of us are having much fun. What is your distaste Master Windfeather." All of her movements held the grace of a dancer.

Konan noted her footwear and long slender legs as she moved to sit down. When she crossed her legs he was given an easier view of the very tall heels. I am sure those could legally be called weapons if they weren't lawfully known as fashionable women's footwear. At the very least women have a walking defense mechnaism. Theoritically that tall heel...would hurt like hell if you took it to the groin. He was not amused by his own thinking only due to the fact he'd spent the first hour or two evaluating each and every footwear, especially by female, and evaluating the level of damage upon impact each could do. No matter what the style of heel he had deduced...female shoes would hurt worse than male shoes. Regardless of the heel height.

Looking around the room as he had not stared at her shoes but a moment before finding interest in everything but. Couldn't look creepy as he was merely trying to converse a little. Also not a strong suit. "My distaste of the party downstairs? Hmm...I would have to go with...the entire large social gathering all stuffed in one location. After that you can take your pick between most of the politicians, the repetitive elevator music, or the sea of penguin suits." He said with a slight smirk and a slight shrug. Although you could most likely hear the playful and joking shift in his tone of voice around the part about elevator music on. The mention of the suits of course was more amusing to himself due to the fact his attire was anything but typical for it and had about caused the mayor's wife to faint when she saw it the first time.

Looking at her with a playful smile. "What about you Lady Adair? What is your distaste?" He asked. Rather enjoying this conversation.

" My distaste. That is a very loaded question. I've done a million of these events and they are all the same. The dancing, the shmoozing, the food. It is all so... fake. I never really slowed down to think about it like that until reality hit me when my parents were murdered this year." She realized how much information she shared with a complete stranger and looked down at her wine glass. She had never shared that with anyone. Not even Amelie and annabel.

Konan shrugged a bit and smiled at her words. "Well I figured since you asked first turnabout was fair play." he said with a teasing tone. Relaxing a bit as he fell silent and heard out her answer. Laying his leg so the ankle rested on the opposing leg's knee. Listening as she nailed the entire scene downstairs in a nutshell. "Yeah it is fake. The only good thing is the wine. Even that has a bitter flavor in the big picture. I'm sorry for your loss." he said in his backwards way of completely agreeing with someone while still not outright saying you're right to someone else. The last comment stated uneasily as he wasn't good at the comfort scenes. He froze as she spoke. Too many bitter memories attached to such simple words. He looked anywhere but her at the moment.

Then to the watch. Tapping it and spoke. "Gears?" He said into the watch. ~Yes sir. Before you ask no it has not been three hours you still have over two and a half hours.~ Sighing a bit as he ignored the smartassed response from Gears and spoke as if he hadn't heard a word of it. "Activate a driver droids...have them ready a car and bring it towards the trade tower. Disconnecting." He stated after the ai voice from the watch stated yes sir. Looking at his companion. "I don't know about you Lady Adair but I'm planning to ditch this party early...maybe head to that delicious french resturaunt up the road for some real food. Care to escape the party with me?" he asked with a smirk as he stood up.

Araminta looked up at him through her eyelashes as he talked to his watch. And it talked back. She turned her head to the side in curiosity while he spoke to whoever was on the other end. She raised an eyebrow when he asked her to join him. "That sounds divine Master Windfeather. I just need to inform my body guard and my sisters." She took her phone out of her clutch and very quickly sent a few texts messages. afterwards she drained her wine glass and put her phone back in her purse. She didnt feel the need to ask anyone's permission to go out for some food with anyone even the young man from the part, She stood and smoothed her dress out. " Right then, shall we?"

Konan had headed to the door and opened it enough to stick his head out. Poking it back in with the rest of him to hear her answer. Nodding his head and stuck it back out into the hall. Looking left then right. Then towards the elevator. If he remembered correctly the elevator would only take them as far as the party room. If they intended to slip out without interference or detection they would need to take the stairs. Sticking his head back in as she finished typing on her phone. He nodded his head. "We're going to ride the elevator to the floor above the party room floor. In order to get to the elevator to the ground floor we will need to go down a flight of stairs to the floor after the party floor. After that freedom and french cuisine is just an elevator away."

he looked down at her shoes. "I'm going to assume you are one of the talented young women who could run fast and far even in those?" He asked with a playfully teasing tone as he opened the door fully and led the way to the elevator. Pushing the down button. As soon as the elevator arrived he waited to enter after she did. "You won't need a bodyguard while your my date for dinner. I'll make sure you get back here safely." He said seriously and honestly. He would make sure she got back here safely...he was not agreeing to walk her all the way back inside. Just to the door.

"I don't know if you watch the Victoria secret fashion show but i was in heels like this with 15 pound wings on my back. I can manage. And i don't need gabe to come with us but if i don't inform him of my wereabouts he will tear apart the whole bloody city looking for me."She spoke as she entered the elevator. She walked as gracefully as a queen. She smirked. "oh so this is a date now is it?"

descriptionCompleteRe: Wealth Equals Boredom ~NC17 at worst~

Konan entered the elevator after her. Smirking at her words a bit. "I am a male...if I was watching that fashion show it wouldn't be to see the wings and stilettos." he said with a masculine yet beautiful sounding laugh as he hit the button right before the last one in the row. He shook his head a bit. If her bodyguard was fully aware of who she was going out with even just to dinner...he might very well still do that. He went to run a hand through his hair when he remembered it was done in an elegant frenchbraid down his back and towards his butt. Right...that wouldn't go well. He smirked a bit. "Did I say that? My my...such ill manners I have with such boistorous slip of the tongues." He stated with a devilish yet playful tone as the elevator took them down to the floor above the last one and opened.

She stood quietly next to him in the elevator. She still had a small sadness to her but her mood seemed to be improving. She was enjoying the playful banter with him. He was proving to be very entertaining. "If you are going to have a slip of the tongue, you better make it count pet." She said as she stepped out ahead of him out of the elevator.

Konan was enjoying the fact this woman seemed able to keep up in the banter department. Mostly because it got annoying having only an AI be able to do so. His evening was looking a little brighter due to that fact. Beauty and wit...what other surprises did that woman have. He face palmed after she'd gotten out ahead of him. A loaded statement like that. Another day and another time the comment he'd have said to that wouldn't have been clean by any means. He moved ahead of her again and pushed open the stairwell door. Walking in and held it open for her. "Its a work in progress apparently." he said with a smirk.

The watch took on a green glow on the face of it. ~The car is ready downstairs.~ Came the voice from the watch. "Good good. Instruct the droid to be waiting to open the front passenger door." He stated. ~Understood~ Came the response and when Lady Adair entered the stairwell fully he let the door go and led the way down the stairs.

"A wise man does well to know when he still needs to learn."She replied and nodded to him when he held the door for her. She made her way ahead of him down the stairs. Her sisters were displeased from what she gathered from txts.

At the last door she stopped so she could wait for him to open it. He seemed to like doing so more than most american men. "Is that your driver you are talking to?"

Konan looked at her a bit. "Wise men...always need to learn something." he said with a shrug. Following her down the stairs until they got to the right floor. Opening the door for her as he waited until she went through. Following her over to the elevator and hit the button. It quickly arrived and he looked at her. Waiting inside the elevator. "No. That is my artificial intelligence gears. He is at the headquarters. The driver who brought the car is a droid. You'll see."

"Oh."She said in reply. She was curious to see actual working robots. The changed in gravity caused her to sway and she reached out to catch her balance. Unfortunately she grabbed onto his arm. She turned pink and let go quickly. She cleared her throat lightly. "So um. Back there you looked at me, when you saw me for the first time like i was a spoiled brat. What changed? Why do you still want to have dinner with me. I could very well be a spoiled brat."

Konan looked at her oh reply. Unable to dicern if that was an oh of boredom. Oh of skeptism. Oh of disbelief or oh of mokcery. It didn't matter. He blinked as they were headed down to the bottom floor in the elevator now. He froze at the uninitiated contact. Looking at his arm and poked it curiously. "I had to see if it was on fire. With how quickly you let go it reminded me of the first time someone touched a hot stove." he said in amusement. He turned to looked at her a bit. "You probably are a spoiled brat." He said with a smirk and a shrug.

He rubbed his chin. "I suppose it was because you were crying and trying to be strong...I'm an asshole but its not easy to walk away from a woman whose crying and its not because of something I said...intentionally or otherwise." He looked at her. "Plus you looked as tormented as I did...even if you are a spoiled brat the least I could do as a hellion from the old ways is kidnap the fair princess for awhile." He said with a playful tone. "I do think for a spoiled brat you are witty and amusing. I like to be amused...I'm not amused by the mindless sheep. Does it really need a reason?" He asked as the elevator dinged to say ground floor. Thedoors opening.

"I wasn't-....so you noticed huh? It's been a difficult year. My parents were murdered, my brother will never be the same and my baby sister hates me. I can't say i don't deserve it. I've always loved her but we have just never been close. I've tried to reach out to her and she shoves me away. I could have anything i wanted and all i want is what i cant have."When the doors opened a few tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Konan just gave her a really? You are going to try to deny it? He nodded his head. "You're red eyes. The slight glistening on your cheeks under the rim of your eyes. I noticed these things. Most missed it apparently." He moved closer to her and using the pad of his thumb and the side of his pointer finger he wiped away the few tears that escaped before anyone could see them. He led her to the front door as they talked. Opening it for her. Outside was a very beautiful sportscar and beside it wearing a tuxedo was a tall droid that opened the passenger door for him. "Thank you driver droid x52." He stated and was saluted. He looked at Lady Adair. "Please get in Lady Adair. Dinner is but a short trip away."

She closed her eyes when he wiped away the tears. He was probably being nice to her because he wanted to shag. That was all men wanted. At least he was making an effort."Thank you."She murmered softly.

She walked with him to his car. She admired the expensive and sportyness of it. The droid she stared at. She had never seen one outside of a movie. She took konan's hand to help herself in, skillfully she got it without flashing anything in her short dress. She was curious to see where they were going.

Konan hadn't even intended to make use of a lady to assist in his escape from this party. He hadn't planned to encounter an amusing bantering partner. It was amusing how fate could throw you such twists and turns. How in some other time and some other meeting they could have hated each other. Instead in this one he was inviting her to "run off into the night" with him...not in the romantic meaning. Yet in essence they were. He ran his hand over this car. He liked it alot. He didn't think much of it yet almost on automated reply he made an uneasy expression and responded with a trained smile.

He chuckled a bit at the fact she murmured it and he was acting like her thanks was a foreign concept. He recovered and responded in kind. "You're welcome Lady Adair." he said with a chuckle. Once he had extended his hand and helped her inside he shut the door. He hit a few secret places on the droid and it folded up into a crouched sitting at ease position. The trunk popped open and he dropped the droid inside of it. He loved bringing the droids from the movies to life. Sliding over the back of the trunk to get to his side faster he soon joined her inside.

Buckling and soon had the idling car soon moving in the direction to the forementioned french resturaunt. He skillfully drove as he didn't say anything. He wasn't sure but he was thinking that for an asshole he might be making a friend or at least a sparring partner. "All things worth having are worth fighting for...or never giving up even if it gets difficult or rough on the road Lady Adair." He said it hoping it might give her strength and encouragement for the various things she had mentioned were bothering her in her life. From her sister to whatever.

(Kris ooc note: my apologies I took a day off posting. hope this is worth the delay trio ^^)

She was used to expensive cars, clothes, food, everythin. Even if she and her sisters hadn't become models thier family was still loaded and they were all raised to be the future wives of dukes an lords. The car was like many she rode in before. She stayed quiet most of the ride. It wasnt often that she rode in the front seat. Often it was the back of a limo or towncar. None of the adair girls had a licence to drive.

Konan drove them to the resturuant that wasn't too far from the tower complex they were just in. He had fallen silent and parked the car when they arrived. Taking the keys out and walked to the otherside. Opening the door and extended his hand to her. Not because he had to or it was polite manners. Not even because he was being a gentleman...but so he didn't have to worry about torturing himself by getting flashed or others seeing a glimpse of panties. He looked at Araminte as she got out. "Ready Lady Adair? I did say I was going to get some dinner at the french restuarunt." he said with a chuckle. After she got out he would walk them to the door of the resturaunt.
