Dance with RF.

You take her hand, and she brings you away. You try to replicate the dance like before, though she's clearly much more experienced, even when her focus isn't even on the dance itself. It's just second nature to her. Though people are looking your way, it's likely their eyes are only on her. You're probably invisible to them.

"I need to speak with you," she says quietly. "Interestingly enough, the most private place is here, right now."

"Don't we attract attention?"

"With eyes, maybe, but I dance with many people whenever my mother holds these parties. It's an obligation. There's nothing specifically special about me choosing you."

It sounds sad when you word it like that.

Her face moves closer. It's uncomfortably intimate. "You are an adventurer I can trust. I just know it."

"With what?" you ask.

"Nobody really knows who you are, so you're perfect. Plus, you really saved my hide back there against Faceless. You have what it takes to be a hero. You'll just need to get a costume one day."

"I can do without the spandex."

"Suit yourself. But this is serious. I have evidence that my own mother might be conspiring with an organization that Faceless is a part of as well. I can't get into her room at any point, day or night, without risking being caught, but I need to investigate further. I just know there's something inside. She keeps a lot of secrets, even from me."

"So you need me to break in?"

"No. I would never ask that. I'm going to break in, when the room is guarded the least. Coincidentally, it's also when the mansion is guarded the most. Right now. Everybody's attention is down here. Nearly. If we can really focus everybody to only this room, I can hop in and out lickety-split. I need you and your friend to create a distraction. It doesn't have to be something insane. Just enough to keep my mother's focus down here. Are you up to this, Kyle?"

She's dead serious. I can see it in here eyes. To be honest, it does sound fun, and I'm already stuffed with free food. But if I make everybody here hate me, will it be harder for me to get quests in the future? I don't really want to make more enemies. I guess I just have to be subtle.

You scope around as you dance. Not far away, you see that same dwarf from earlier. He looks antsy with his hands in his pockets. It's likely he doesn't even want to try dancing with somebody twice his size. Or worse, they don't want to try with him.

"I have an idea," you say. "I'm in."
