Toz looked at the fat man who shouted at them before turning to Lucy, clearly disregarding the man. Lucy understood Toz's attention, and shadows burst out of the ground to cover the entire ballroom in a dome of darkness. The dome of darkness would prevent anyone from escaping and alerting the guards and prevent the guards from sensing the commotion that Toz and the cats were about to stir up.
After Lucy's dome went up, Toz and the cats turned toward all the noble-wannabes, who were slowly recovering from their shock. Some looked frightened after Lucy put up his dome, but most of them looked like they were about to burst from all the suppressed outrage. However, they couldn't suppress their rage at Toz's rudeness for much longer, and the people gathered in the ballroom soon began shouting and hollering at Toz.
