*Sylvan smiles beautifully to Ken and does indeed shake his hand, though it is obvious she's ill-used to such things.*
You will have to forgive my ignorance, I am new to England entirely.
*If Ken tries to 'peek' into Sylvan's mind using Legillimency, he will find her trained in Occlumens by none other than Severus Snape himself. Leaving only the sound of crashing waves to greet the Auror. Her voice, however drops low.*
It...It may not be my place to say, but Lucius' stand against...past allegences is dangerous as it is commendable. I am here to make sure that everything and everyone remains safe.
I may not have your extensive training, but my father was rather a tyrant for me to learn the nuances of dueling. I've had the pleasure of a friendly duel with Headmaster Snape and nearly won. I wasn't familiar with the Levicorpus spell.
*Her lips purse a bit in memory and she chuckles softly, shaking her head. Taking a long sip of her wine before smiling to the trio.*
But it must be exciting to have such esteemed employ! It would be wonderful to hear of some of the training that takes place, I have always been curious when I was told of the Auror.
*Glancing away from the three to look around at the party, holding her glass up to Severus if she manages to catch his eye.*

*sees Mrs. Malfoy enter but does not approach her, seeing as everyone seemed to be very busy in their little groups*
*stands patiently, sipping a bubble juice and waiting for something interesting to catch her eye* *Catches sight of Bellacoure and waves her over towards Snape* Please do not be a stranger, Ms Bellacoure. This is a happy occasion. *Pulls out wand and summons a thin steam glass of blood red wine.* Care for one Professor? Ms Bellcourse I see you have your drink of choice. *Takes a sip of her drink*

*Watches Barty approach Pansy and Millicent, raises an eyebrow as Lucius pulls him away*
*Shakes her head and smiles again as she reaches her friends*
Ladies, how are you?
*Her eyes flick to their dresses*
You look lovely, as usual.
*She glances to Barty again, then back to her friends; mouths her question, not wanting to risk being rude by asking aloud*
Who was that?

Could this be what the unusual invite was about?* Being an Auror certainly has its interesting moments. Especially in these times. *He decides to let the curiosity get the better of him. What harm could it do.* You mentioned past allegiances. Is that to do with his loyalty to a certain You-know-who?

*She looks to Ken and excuses from the others to lead him off to one side to speak privately, her hand on his forearm gently.*
Yes, Lucius was loyal to him...no longer. He and his family have realized the error of such things, Mister Bonobo...and bravely have removed themselves from his service. It means death for him and his family. Death or worse.
*Her smile is surprisingly sad as her courtly mask plays the flawless part.*
It is brave what Lucius has done...he's hoping to make amends and offer himself to the Ministry once more...Also because he needs protection and he knows it. Crossing...You-Know-Who has ended poorly in the past, as I'm told.
*She looks to ken then, searching his face before looking away and letting out a sigh.*
I should not be speaking of this so openly, but I find myself worried. I may be excellent in a duel, but numbers can sway a battle of talent. I'm afraid that I alone won't be able to defend them. I suppose that is why I sought you and your colleagues out. Lucius needs help and he's too proud to openly say so.

*Sighs, his eyes flicking between Lucius and the firewhiskey*
I want to come back later for firewhiskey then...
*Finishes his whiskey and hands the glass to Lucius before disapparating*

**Arrives at the event after being escorted inside by an obliging house elf.**
**Scans the room, recoginizing many of the faces, some of which he longed to curse into oblivion.**
**Remains patient, holding a glass of wine to occupy his wand arm.**

*Upon having Crouch leave he reenters the room full of guests. He scans the room to see if anyone new has arrived that he should greet as host and spots Rosier.*
*He fumes as he makes his way over to his old colleague.*
Gabriel. I do believe that you have arrived early.

Lucius needs help and he's too proud to openly say so. *Ken is surprised to be pulled away from Kingsley and Remus, and feels a little out of his comfort zone.* *He listens as the woman explains the situation in more detail.* *She speaks of battle, dueling and Lucius' standing in respect to the Dark Lord. These are not subjects he would expect to hear at a party. Maybe she knows something.* *His judgement and unnervedness lead him to decide a quick peek into her mind might be a good idea.* *He attempts to read her, but finds the sounds of gentle waves and nothing more.* *Ken realises that she is blocking any attempts to read her and this confirms his suspicion that she may have something to hide.* *His suspicions put him into duty mode.* If the Malfoy's are hoping to leave the Dark Lord's service, that is dangerous indeed. I'd appreciate any information that you have about it. *Realising that his request was quite forward he attempts to backtrack.* We only have our friends best interest at heart.

**Turns swiftly toward Lucius, his mouth barely moving as he whispers.**
How do you mean? Shall I come back... Later?
**Hopes he has not blown anything by arriving at the moment he did.**
**Mutters.**
I'll be back in a different form, Mr. Malfoy.
**Disapparates abruptly, hoping no Ministry worker recognized his face.**

*He is relieved that his old friend had realised his mistake and was going to rectify it.*
*He also felt unpleasant about turning away these people. But it was all for the greater good, and he was sure that they would realise that.*
He made his way back into the room and decided to make an announcement.
*He took a glass and teaspoon and banged it loud.*
If you would all care to come outside, a buffet will be served for your pleasure.

And *nods at Snape* it's nice to see you again. *hears Lucius' announcement and looks toward him* Well, I suppose that's our cue. *smiles and sips her drink, ready to eat in order to not have to force herself to make polite conversation the whole time*

*One can always feel the press of Legilimens, she smiles softly to Ken.*
You'll forgive me for being so...unforthcoming with instant answers for you, Mr. Bonobo. I may be here to help Lucius...but faced with an Auror...I've done things in my life I'm not proud of. I don't expect you to understand.
*She looks up to the call to dinner and smiles a bit softly.*
As for the details of what has happened, I'm not quite certain of them. Lucius asked for my aid and I was happy to offer it to him. We may not all be perfect and innocent of everything, but it doesn't mean we cannot be decent and mostly good.
*Letting out a sigh as she fusses with a lock of hair.*
Perhaps I was too hopeful to think that the Ministry might help protect him. Besides, it's not as if the Ministry is free of it's own corruptions. Forgive me, Mr. Bonobo. Perhaps I spoke out of order. Perhaps this is something we should handle ourselves.
*With that, Sylvan turns and moves towards the outside where everyone else is being lead for the feast. Perhaps she's over played her hand. She doesn't think she has since the purpose was to plant the seeds of the plot into the mind of an Auror. Perhaps she simply gave too much too soon. Ah well, time would tell and if anyone was going to play the game against her, they had better be one of the best.*

*Looks away from her friends as she notices Mr. Crouch approach them. Offers a small polite smile, but raises an eyebrow, not sure who he was. Eyebrow raises higher when Lucius pulls him aside and seems to be having an important conversation.*
*Shifts attention to Daphne as she mouths a question. Furrows brow and shrugs, turning to Millicent to see if she had an answer.*
*Hears Mr. Malfoy make an announcement and follows the crowd of people outside to gather around the buffet. Thinks to herself.*
"Hmm, still haven't seen an appearance from the young Mr. Malfoy. Surely he'll arrive fashionably late... Surely he'll arrive to his family's own Ball?"
