Yin: Working on this while I have the chance.

Kitty danced with Lance. They spoke of many things, including politics, war, and servitude. In the end, the numbers of the ball were dwindling.
"May I escort you to your room?" Lance held out his arm.
Kitty blushed. "I did not acquire a room. My home is not far away, so I found it unnecessary."
Lance nodded. "I will send you a personal escort. Pietro! Escort Lady Katherine back to her castle."
Pietro nodded, his eyes wide.

Kitty meant to ask Pietro about Sir lance, but she was so tired she fell asleep in the carriage that Lance had provided. When she got home, she barely remembered undressing or climbing into bed.

"How was it?" Anna immediately asked the next morning.
Evan leaned in. Apparently he was dying to know as well.
"I danced with Sir lance of Alvers all evening."
"The same gah?"
"Yes. He is quite nice and has asked that I attend the entire ball with him."
Evan smiled. "This may work out to our advantage more than I realized..."
"What?"
"He is quite taken with you, I can tell by the way you blush. Suppose he asked for your hand in marriage..." Evan cocked an eyebrow.
"Evan! I have only known him one night! Plus...I could never do that to someone."
"Do what?"
"Dump him."
"Who said anything about dumping?"
"You...want me to...marry a complete stranger?"
"Fall in love with him. Or his money." Evan snickered.
Kitty gasped. "Perhaps I was wrong Evan. Everything I told him..about us being unselfish...not greedy...I was wrong." Kitty stormed out of the room in disgust.
Evan glanced innocently at Anna. "What'd I do?"

Kitty pulled her knees up to her chin.
"Kitty? It's tahme tah get ready."
"I'm not going."
"Why noht?"
"I don't want to mislead him."
"You won't if yah avoid him."
Kitty sighed. "What dress will it be tonight?"

Kitty stepped into the ballroom once again. Her face was adorned and her dress was a soft pink.
"There you are." A familiar voice said behind her.
"Sir Lance!" Kitty breathed.
"Lady Katherine. I am glad to see you are not ill. Several of the other guests have come down with something, I'm assuming it's from being cramped into the rooms so tightly."
Kitty nodded. "Sir Lance..."
"Will you dance with me?" Lance extended his hand, and Kitty could not say no.

"Did yah break iht ohff with him?" Anna questioned.
"Did he propose?" Evan added.
"No, and no. We just had a great night dancing. And talking."
Both frowned.
"If I can't please you both, I'll have to please myself." Kitty smiled. "He is quite a wonderful man you know."

Yin: Poor Kitty. She's going to be torn: reveal her true self or leave him heart-broken.
