Hitomi walked down the middle aisle on her way to the stage. She could see several vizards sitting on both sides of her applauding as she climbed to the stage. She bowed politely and took her spot on the stage. Her blue gown was illuminated by the spotlight and her beauty was incredible. Behind her a statue of Benzaiten and to her right was a white serpent like creature.
Hitomi pulled out her flute and waited for the cue. The lights in the hall sparked on and dimly lit the Vizard's ballroom. Hitomi put the flute to her lips and began playing one of her famed pieces. The serpent to her right and the statue behind her began to dance together perfectly to the rhythm of the elegant music.

Tok was standing applauding politely as he watched Hitomi begin her piece. He sat down quickly so as not to block the other Vaizards views. Tok was an imposing figure even sitting down though. His broad shoulders combined with his seven foot frame made him an imposing figure. He was dressed to the nines for this event. His black pinstripe suit was tailore perfectly for his large broad shoulders, his enourmous biceps as well as his muscular legs. The suit made him look like a very large very important business man, someone used to dealing with high powered people not sitting among the Vaizards. The only thing ruining the image of a successful business man was the grey cloth Tok had tied over his right eye and jaw. The cloth covered the fact that his eye and jaw had been mangled in his initial transformation.
As Tok sat A few grumblings began to spring up behind him. Not wanting to cause problems Tok simply and quietly so as not to disrupt the performance moved to the back and leaned against a pillar. The performance was still going on so he quietly listened marvelling at how they could have balls like this with the job they had yet to do.

Hitomi finished her song and bowed to the crowd thanking them for listening. She received a standing ovation from the crowd of her peers. She sheathed her flute and the serpent and statue disappeared. As she returned to her seat she saw a large figure leaning against a pillar in the back of the ballroom. A band of three vizards took the stage after her playing a funky type of jazz music.
Hitomi approached the large stoic figure in the back of the room. She was still elated from the praise she received from the crown so she had a wide smile on her face. She stopped at his side and extended her hand in greeting. "Hey there! My name is Hitomi Senritsu, pleased to meet you. How did you enjoy the performance?"

Tok was lost in thought, His mind contemplating the best ways to get to his opponents and the best stratagies to beat his opponents. He'd kept the music in the back of his mind because it was beautiful and artfully done. However he did not notice Hitomi walking up to him and had to shake his head to see the beautiful woman now standing before him.
Her blue hair was magnificently styled and her dress complimented her figure and hair perfectly. her eyes were sharp and her smile was glowing as he looked down at her. Tok bowed his topknot bobbing slightly as he moved slowly and carfully taking her hand in his large one.
<<Tok Kenryuu, very nice to meet you>> Tok held her hand for a second more then stood back his figure remaining erect his body tense. Tok did not always do well with other people. He was not the biggest talker, at least until he got a little more comfortable with people. Still even at that point he wasn't too big on words. He was the proverbial man of few words, and it took alot to get him out of that mode.
Tok continued to look down at the beautiful Hitomi wondering why she'd come to talk to him. What had seemed special about him? Tok stood very still continuing his stoic stance.

Hitomi's hand seemed like an infants in the clutch of the large man's. She was in awe of his size and was actually quite surprised he was human. "Tok huh? Not very elegant but it fits the man!" Although the statement may seem like an insult it wasn't. Hitomi has a way of saying things that seem to cheer up those around her. She smiled and said "To be honest while I was on stage I saw your silhouette get up and move to the back and well. . .I thought you were a bear-man!" Hitomi giggled at the foolishness of her thought.
"Well anyway, how long have you been a part of this group? In all honestly I don't really care much about the conflicts, but its just nice to be around others like me." As the two stood there getting to know one another the band playing on stage moved to a different song. It had a fast and cheery beat. Hitomi gasped in excitement and her eyes lit up. "Oooo! I love this song! Hey Tok, why don't you dance with me?!" Hitomi didn't even wait for his response. She had already grabbed his hand before she had finished the question.

Tok raised his eyebrow at Hitomi's statement. He silently agreed with her and put her a little higher on his list for the statment. He still however remained silent contemplating making sure his next statement was well thought out and elequent. Not many knew that about Tok, he was very maticulous in his thoughts and was rather intelligent, but most people only saw him for his size and thought him a brute.
Tok made a small snort then caught himself about the bear-man comment. Tok looked down a small smile forming on his face as he talked to her, easing his guard and letting himself open up.
<<I have been here for a long-long time. I became a Vaisard a short amount of time after the original Vaisards were created. I did not howerve meat up with them however till they had created this place, I was one of the first to come.>> Tok realized he's said quite a bit. Suddenly Hitomi was talking and then suddenly she grabbed him and lead him to the dance floor. Surprised by her movement Tok let himself be lead by the much smaller woman. Tok could easily have stopped the pull of Hitomi but he smiled to himself as she chattered and was excited about the dance.
The moved face to face Hitomi and Tok. Tok took her delicate hand in his large caloused one. they moved into position and Hitomi suddenly looked a little nervous as if pulling such a large man into the dance. Would he crush her....throw her around...or break a toe? Tok tensed a little letting her know he would lead then.....With surprising grace began to perform a dance with extreme precision making small adjustments for the size difference. The two of them twirled and Tok suddenly moved in close picking Hitomi up easily, and twisted her legs to each side of his waist before setting her down and resuming the movements.

Hitomi was pleasantly surprised by the gracefullness of the large man. She was expecting him to be clumsy in his movements but she was prepared to lead. Seeing that he instead wanted to lead she allowed herself to be guided by his hands through the dance. She was having a great time as not many of the others let themselves have fun like this. "Hehe, you're quite the surprising man, a great dancer!" Hitomi let Tok twirl her and let out a giggle.
The song came to an end and so did the pair's dance. Hitomi was blushing slightly towards the end. She took as step back from Tok and curtsied with a smile on her face. "Thank you for the amazing dance Mr. Tok, you were great! Its hard to find a person who can dance well around this place. You say you've been around since the place was created huh? You must be pretty old!" Hitomi let out a giggle with the comment.

Tok bowed from his waist towards Hitomi as she curtsied towards him. He put out his arm and led her off to the side as she began to dote on him. He blushed slightly though based on Hitomi's chatter she hardly noticed. Of course she was surprised, everyone in this placed was surprised when Tok did anything other than stay quiet and do battle. He however to the comments in stride taking exceptional note of her elegance and beauty while she talked of him. He simply nodded his accent at the fact that he was old. He was old not that he'd thought of that in a long time. Tok put his hand over hers as they neared the side an indication that he wanted to speak.
<<Hitomi when did you come here?>>
Tok made the question simple his head was simply calculating Hitomi's reactions to himself and if she had any other reasons for talking to him.

Hitomi put her finger on her chin and looked up to the ceiling. With her left hand she began putting up fingers one at a time as though she was counting. "Wow, I can't believe its been that long. Its been about 150 years since I joined!" Hitomi pouted as she realized how old she was. "I didn't think it had been that long. . ." She quickly went back to smiling as she shrugged off the revelation. "So Tok, why did you join this place?"

<<What else is a Vaisard to do? I mean we are rejected by both worlds, left to find our own way forge our own society.>>
Tok looked down at Hitomi again, again realizing her beauty and it made him nervous. He unconsiously ran his hand over his suit and fixed his topknot again. Hitomi was getting him to relax, he was having more fun and his mind was slowly opening revealing the layers around his mind. Tok was unsure of what to do so he asked a question.
<<Would you like to see my mask?>>
