"Just a simple illusion I picked up years ago," Kobas replied. He pulled up a chair at the bar for Shada as Telma slid two large mugs of beer down the table. After sitting down next to her he clapped his hands together, then spread his fingers like a fan. He blew gently on his hands and delicate white petals appeared, drifting through the air and scattering around both of them and enveloping them in a fragrant scent.

Rhyss looked across the room to see Kobas talking to a stunningly beautiful young woman and made an amused snort. He noticed Arrika's fits of laughter, most likely because of the boy taking up a large portion of the floor with his weird dance. What made him laugh, though, was the sight of Seth, who for once had nothing to say.

OOC: Sorry guys, while my computer was broke, I could only use my Wii. Since the internet connection on the Wii sucks, I only made a few topics a priority. Now I can get back to those negleticed topics, such as this one. Sadly, since I won't be able to keep tabs on this topic, Kasei, I am out.

IC: Ryan and Remos indeed got their chances to gaze over the items longer, and Simon's skill, even though he was still an apprentice, was derastically amazing. Silna eventually was left by Kasei, and she went and danced with Orpheous. Valentine luckily got Stephan out of the trouble of stealing the pocket book, but the two were still smacked upside the head by the woman anyways. Snowflake got an eyefull of the decor, and the mysterious hidden women went unnoticed. Vilk managed to impress a few peasants with his skill, but he was called out by Michael Canvas, and Michael defeated him. Vilk, Michael, and Nichole left around this time, and the others stayed for a bit longer before they thanked the hosts and left.

Sakiko held Aureliano's hand, and smiled up at him in a bubbly way. She turned her head slightly, acknowledging Shada's - and Kobas's - presence as they approached the bar. She waved at them, lifting the hand that was holding Aureliano's. The mage giggled while introducing Shada to Aureliano, and vice versa. Suddenly, Sakiko's eyes strayed towards Shada's stunning body and dress. A blush made a tint on her pale cheeks, suddenly realizing just how drop dead gorgeous her acquaintance was. Quickly, the mage clung to Aureliano in a jealous protective mode, just in case he had any other thoughts in his mind.

-------

Masakazu leaned against the wall, his arms folded. So far, this party was not anything close to entertaining. It was a pain to watch everyone have fun, when he himself was on the verge of breaking through a glass window just to see if that was in any form, entertaining. He crossed his legs, then uncrossed them again. Glaring at Aureliano from his little corner, he muttered darkly under his breath, pretty certain that his aura - if it had a color - was pitch black at the moment.

"Nice to meet you two, my name is Aureliano."

As Aureliano sat there, clutched by Sakiko in an odd manner, he could not help but to look back at the poor Masakazu who was obviously not enjoying himself. He decided that he would talk to him later. For now, he managed to find out why Sakiko was behaving queerly. It was obvious that she was trying to keep him away from the approaching woman, even though Aureliano had no interest in her. In fact, his interest was not taken by any women at all, but by the Sheikah in the corner making eyes at Sakiko. "Will I have to battle him for my honor back?" Aureliano pondered this as he put his empty hand to his hilt, hoping it would not have to come to that.

Sorry for late immiaging.

As soon as Worru started singing, Drunk men joined in, and handed the boy some beer, believing him to be one of them.

Aria winced as Worru sang, but focused on Seth. "Thank you very much." She replied, and started dancing slower. This all takes place as Aureliano walks into the door, and is greeted by a now severely annoyed Shiek, who glares at him as he takes the hand of Sakiko. The shiekah warrior begins pulling things out of his pocket. Knives, clubs, bombs...

Both are interrupted, however, by a drunk Marin, who grabbed Aureliano by the arm and started bringing him to the dance floor.

As Orpheous' party pushed the door open to go and leave, Kasei popped his head out from the back. "OI! DON'T USE THE FRONT-"

Too late, Every single one of Orpheous' freinds had recieved a boot to the head, each one having the lable saying "a forever party!" written on it.

"Ah....I gotta remove that thing..." Kasei said as he went to the back again.

Denkou, having grown tired of trying to swipe Link's precious objects, moved on to a new item to steal; Shada's clothes. The thief stood behind her now, and quickly gave a tug at Shada's garments...

"Excuse me?" Kobas said in a calm but dangerous voice, his dark eyes flashing as he assessed the fellow, but much smaller thief. "Is there something you want to ask her? If not, I suggest you keep your hands to yourself."
=====
Seth noticed the music slow considerably, and Aria seemed to be even closer to him that before... He looked around frantically for help, but Arrika was busy staring at Sheik, Kobas was hoping he'd get lucky with Shada, and Rhyss was standing there and mocking him... What was he supposed to do? On impulse his hands moved down to Aria's slim waist, his body swaying with hers and his heart beating frantically.

"...Hey...!"

Sakiko watched helplessly as Aureliano was dragged away from her. She pouted, and sat slumped against the chair that Aureliano had been sitting on previously. She wanted to dance too. She turned her head, and saw Masakazu being gloomy. So not the dance partner. And she saw Aureliano being taken. Her lips became more pouty, but as she turned her head, she saw Sheik, and saw that he was staring at her too.

Dancing was harmless - it was a way to socialize. The mage got up, and went up to Sheik, in a rather unsteady way. She smiled at him uncertainly, especially at the weapons that he was holding, and asked,

"Would you like to...*hic* dance?"

"Wow," Shada stammers out after a few more moments of gazing at the flower, "Th-that's really somethin!" The clink of glass on the counter distracts her attention for a moment, and she gingerly reaches forward to take the mug. As she does so she feels something soft brush against her cheek, and finds herself enveloped by flower petals slowly cascading downwards like raindrops all around them. She lifts the beer mug up to her ruby lips, taking in a slow trickle of the intoxicating beverage as the similarly addicting scene continues.

She feels a slight warmth growing on her cheeks (no, she's not drunk . . . yet), realizing that she is blushing at all the things Kobas is doing. A blush? That's right, that had been her original intention for all this, starting with . . . with whoever that other guy was, and now with Kobas. What the heck had caused her to blush? She was just playing with the thief, wasn't she; just trying to get a kick out of actually having men interested in her. Unlike Keyru. He would never do anything so . . . romantic as this, she thinks to herself as she looks at Kobas, cheeks flushed red the entire time.

In that moment, she lets down her defenses . . . just in the knick of time.

Kobas' words to Denkou come just before she feels somebody's hands trying to grab at her dress. Without even blinking she grabs the thief's arms, hauling him over her frame and slamming him to the ground without so much as a grunt of effort. Then, for good measure, she takes her high-heeled shoes and jabs one down onto his stomach. "'M sorry, honey, did you want to dance or somethin? All you need t' do's ask," she says with a slight slur, half of it a joke to make him think she's actually serious, and the other half actually due the drunken state she is slowly but surely slipping towards. She takes up her mug again and takes a nice short drink . . . thus obviously speeding up the aforementioned change to a drunken state rather considerably, as is evidenced by the slightly pinkish coloration on her face, a bit of a lighter shade than the blush she'd had a few moments ago.

"You're stunning, you know," Kobas said truthfully, one hand slinking to rest on top of hers. "I can't believe I've never seen you before... did I catch your name?" He asked, ignoring Denkou as he plucked a petal that had drifted to her hair.
=================================
"Argh, I wish I had a pictobox..." Arrika said between fits of laughter as she watched the drunk Sakiko. "Watch, she'll wake up tomorrow with a massive headache but deny it all anyway..."
================================
"HEY! LOOK! LIST-"

Rhyss raised one arm, creating small gusts of wind that danced around his fingertips. They wrapped around the annoying Navi, forming into a crystal clear, sound-proof bottle. Navi rammed against the glass haphazardly until Rhyss shoved her into his pocket with a sigh.

Worru gulped down the beer, before realizing what, exactly, he was drinking, and once the drink registered, in both his mind and stomach, he got a continuous dreamy stare coming out of his eyes, a smile with the same look, and his movements became quite wild. He soon found himself spinning over to Aria, breaking into her dance with Seth, and the Sheikah boy rested his head upon the girl's chest. "Werlll...(hic)...Arya...I dink yew groed here, didnyk ya?", he slurred, smiling.

It was instantanious. No one knew how it happened. No one wants to know. The fact remains, however; what is left of Worru is now on the floor. Bleeding. Aria, scythe in hand, stood above him.

It was a quick death. Noone cared anyway.

So, Aria grabbed the hand of the nearest boy, and began dancing again. As she twirled away, Jormund Gobi stood above Worru, smiling in a drunken stupror. "Ge' up, lad! We 'ave a nice party to 'et trough!" He said, as Worru was revived.

Denkou smiled timidly up at Shada. "Uhhhhh . . . dance?" He asked quietly.

Shada blushes as she feels him placing his hand atop hers - a real blush this time, not just one like she had been trying to achieve earlier for her own amusement at the expense of some males. Wait . . . that had been why she'd wanted to blush earlier, right? She really can't remember it all that clearly anymore . . .

The scarlet coloring only flushes brighter as he reaches up and plucks one of the petals from her braids. Her hand, trembling slightly, reaches up and caresses the interwoven strains lying on her shoulder before gently pushing the hair behind her back; whereas before it had been resting upon the skin from her shoulders down to where the thin fabric of her dress began to widen and cover the exposure, now the seductive sight of her breasts' swell is in full view.

"M-my name's Shada," she says in a soft, shy voice, bashing her eyelids gracefully.
