As Rose directed the smokey tendrils to surround Bubbles, the dance had ended and Bubbles struck the pose she had begun with. Raising both her hands in a quick motion, a wall of smoke rose up to conceal Bubbles from sight. The fuzzy image of a dancer formed within and with a whirl of veils and a few last steps, the figure bowed low. It's long dark hair brushed the floor and then smoke clouded over the image.
By the time she clenched her hands into fists, stopping the smokey flow, Bubbles was back with the rest of their companions. The smoke disapated and drifted away, leaving only the Storyteller before Venger.
A half-smile curled one side of her mouth and then she, too bowed before Venger in a flamboyant manner. "I do hope ye enjoyed the entertainment, M'Lord and found all ta be ta yer pleasure. Would there be anything more ye'd care ta be seeing this night? Perhaps a special request?"
Rose looked up and met Lord Venger's red eyes, her smile still in place. The others had performed quite well indeed, and had given Lord Venger little cause to be displeased. And he and the guards had been distracted so far.
She noticed Lord Venger's eyes stray once again towards Bubbles before meeting her own. She laughed to herself as she realized Lord Venger had indeed been distracted and awaited the dark lord's further commands.
