(Sorry bout the wait, family issues)
Neo grinned and led Liam back to the ballroom. Tucking his cigar into the pocket of his suit as they left.
Once they were on the floor, neo led the dance, swaying and twirling around the floor starting out slow, but moving faster as the song continued.

(its alright, everything ok?)
Liam focused more on not stepping on Neo's feet then the actual dancing. Occasionally looking around to see if his brother was anywhere near.
(for the most part. Me and my mother don't see eye to eye with most things tho)
As the song slowed, Neo tilted his head and looking into Liam's eyes. "Questions?" he asked. Not dropping or relaxing his stance.
(I feel that)
Liam, having forgotten what he was supposed to be questioning stared blankly at Neo for a moment, before blinking and clearing his throat, "you have a strange… aura about you… why?"
(It's ok tho. We take brakes from each other periodically so as to cool down)
Neo smiled as the music started again. "I'm sure i don't know what you mean." He said, spinning Liam then pulling him close.
Liam felt a slight blush rise to his cheeks, "I'm sure you do. People react to you, why? people react to me by not noticing me because I have been trained to be unnoticeable."
Tiling his head, Neo though about the question before answering. "Well, people react the way they want to. I was raised to, well, shape that in the slightest." He shrugged. "I don't know. That's just how i grew up."
"And where did you grow up?" Liam inquired, finding the answer as more of a loophole than anything.
(Bump?)
(sorry)
"I'm sure i've already told you that no?" Neo smiled and led Liam off of the floor and to a table.
He waved to a waiter to bring them drinks, then turned his attention back to Liam.
"I don't know much about the isle of Circe" Liam crossed his arms on the table, one hand going to run his fingers over the cord around his neck, the charm still tucked underneath his shirt.
Neo's eyes flowed Liam's hand as it traveled to a bump in his shirt. his smile faltering just a bit.
"Whatcha got there?" he asked, completely ignoring Liam's statement. He reached over and grabbed his hand. Folding his fingers through Liam's.
Liam pulled back quickly as a reflex. He scanned Neo's face, "nothing." He stated, forcing himself to relax. If Neo saw the charm, it was very likely he would know what Liam was, it was a well known symbol. The assassins that trained him were often hired by nobles to protect them, and to kill other nobles.
