After a short contemplation, I walked into the ball.
"How stark, a world within and a world outside." I couldn't help but whisper.
Two twin maids, around 13 years old or so ran up to me and bowed. Their faces were veiled and their movements strict.
"The head butler asks for your lordship's esteemed name so he can announce it." They spoke almost simultaneously creating a hum.
"How fun, is it true that twins share a mind?" I wasn't in a hurry to be announced, so I felt like making some small talk.
"We share more than just a mind your lordship, but how could you tell we were twins?" They seemed to sense I wasn't as high and mighty as the other nobles and loosened up a slight bit. I could tell from their eyes that a smile had formed beneath the veil.
"Your energies are nearly identical and the tattoo on the edge of her left eye is the same as the one on yours. It's a dead language but I can speak them all."
