"We're on the same page it seems, though I can't imagine everyone agrees. Some would throw a party at the sight of any Sanguis head on a platter," Silas joked, a slight smirk growing. "That sounds like the perfect solution to me, that'd give me just enough time to find the perfect candidate to frame." He allowed the idea to float around, entertaining it briefly and taking a single step forward with intrigue written across his face. "And what, might I ask is amongst the most?"

"Well then, we can't have that - your head is far too attractive to waste on a serving tray," Scarlett teased, winking at the other. "How about if I spot them doing it again, I'll come fetch you, and I'll vouch for you to your brother?" A mischievous little smirk rested upon her lips. "It would be far from the most morally grey thing I've done in a while. But what's life without a little risk?"

"That's quite poetic of you, if you ever decide to retire you might consider writing a book," he complimented, a playful tinge to his tone, meeting Scarlett's gaze. Silas dared to take another step forward at the other's evident interest. His hand brushed against her waist, fingertips dancing over the fabric of her dress, "I think you and I both know life is too short to err on the side of caution, certainly if you want it to be a fun one." Silas continued to tease, pulling her into him, his other hand cupping Scarlett's, pressing them both into his chest. "It's a good thing I'm no ordinary man then," he purred against her ear. "Arr, when do we set sail?"

A sparkle lit up in Scarlett's eyes as she smirks. "Yes, well, I've got my fair share of those who'd love to see the end of me, as well. Life must be boring if one's too likable. That means you haven't made enough waves." Scarlett smiled up at Silas as he stepped in closer, her eyes searching his handsome face indulgently - so sue her if she loved a little eye candy - before she twirled a long curl around her finger. "Careful what you're askin' for, Hot Stuff," she teased, tapping a finger against his chest. "I've done some things that could turn the toughest man's stomach. What's the old saying, it's a pirate's life for me?"

"Unfortunately, that will continue to be a trend throughout the night and whilst I'd love to cause some excitement, I do fear my brother might serve my head on a platter if I do." Silas couldn't help but dark chuckle, though with the masks, the thought of doing so had surely caught his mind. "Though I shall keep that in mind, should they turn out to be a repeat offender."

"wasn't me, they've been stumbling all over the place all night," scarlett said, gesturing at the person who'd nudged against the other. "i'm more than happy t'sort 'em out for you if you need."
