As the party starts to pick up, Sula and Jean run into each other, both having decided to send flower petals raining down while flying over the plaza. After introducing themselves, Jean challenges Sula to a contest to see whose petals will be more popular. After they both run out, the flying rivals meet in the plaza and are ready to forget about the competition...until they run into Vivianna. Both men share a dance with her, and Jean departs once he realizes that she and Sula already have a relationship. Delighted to find out that Sula was jealous of her and the young noble, Vivianna goes with him to the dumpling stand, where they have an overly-flirtatious lunch.
Then they stop by the jewelry stands, buy gifts for each other, and run into a surprisingly well-dressed Drew who has gotten a job at one of the stands. Unfortunately, this keeps him occupied all morning, so the new couple continues onward on their date.
[6:39 PM] Histoire: Shimi's shimmering wings clashed against the sun hanging over the Amaterasu plaza, as she flew high over the crowds and lines. Her rider, a dark-skinned Dwabi dressed in a flamboyant red robe, tossed pink Rhylia petals haphazardly from his hands over the partygoers. Many of them had caught glimpses of this eccentric skyrider over the past month, and rumors of an oddball Dwabi occupying the castle's stables had spread throughout the soldiers and staff.
So Sula did not even bother to flash his ticket as the pitch-black pegasus glided over the various checkpoints - the time for introductions had passed. This...was the day of judgment. But before matters of life and death, all he had to do was celebrate, and build up whatever good fortune he could before the future arrived.
[6:40 PM] Histoire: "I-E I-EEEEEEEEEE ~" Sula's melody rang through the sky as Shimi's thick wings flapped faster over the stores and the stalls. "I-E-I-OOOOOOOO ~ "(edited)
[6:50 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean was flying above the Amaterasu Plaza trying to bring more excitement to himself and more admiration from the women below by dropping beautiful red rose petals. He had already courted a dozen or so women here and the party was only getting started. Even though he's only been here for a week or so Jean was already popular around town and widely known for his Black Wyvern Angard who bedazzled many of the women he's seen. It was while in these skies that he saw him. Another Rider in red, a dark-skinned Dwabi who was throwing down petals along with a beautiful black Pegasus. Was he perhaps a Mage Flier? Jean flew in closer to greet the man.
"Ho there Fellow Flier! I must ask what are you doing in these skies today? Trying to impress the hearts of woman such as I?"(edited)
[6:56 PM] Histoire: "Kwemo!" Sula tossed another handful over his head. Sula brought the reins to the side with his darkly-tattoed hand, and Shimi turned to the side to come closer into earshot. Noticing the strange man's night-dark wyvern and bright clothes, he recalled Vivianna's words.
"Ha ha ha, no no! I come only to call spirits of Keiji-i, blessing men, women, and children!"(edited)
[7:03 PM] Nessbrawl: "Ah is that so?" Jean laughed. "And here I thought I had a rival in lovemaking. But enough of that I guess I should tell you my name then. I am Jean Ludwig Asmodeus from Gennuir and my darling Wyvern here is Angard! Would you give me the pleasure of your name and your steed's name?"
[7:07 PM] Histoire: "Jea-nn...." He nodded. Clearly Nobili-ti, but not from a city important enough to make it on any map Sula had read. "Yes, yes! This is Shimi...." He stopped to give his mount a pat on each wing, reminding her to save her strength. "I am Sula, a man of flowers and futures."
[7:08 PM] Nessbrawl: "Ah a man of flowers and futures huh?" Jean closed his eyes and nodded. "Now tell me Sula. How many women do you pick up that line huh?" Jean winked at the man.
[7:13 PM] Histoire: Sula returned with a smirk, humming out a single droning tone as Shimi drifted through the air. "A recipe is only as good as the man who uses it, Jean-ni. But one as young as you should not need too many words..ha ha ha!"(edited)
[7:23 PM] Nessbrawl: "Oh but appearance can only get you so far Sula. Sure you can be beautiful on the outside but if they find out you have a rotten interior well the good ones will flee and you're left with the ones who want to feed on your carcass. So of course I must make sure my personality is shining as well! That's the true key to getting the women to swoon at the sound of your name." Jean ran through his hair. " But still I must get back to my flower showering ways. I mustn't make the ladies upset by stopping. And you have your spirits to bring to all people right?" Jean then smirked when a devilish idea popped into his head. "Or maybe you would be up for a little contest?"
[7:27 PM] Histoire: Sula snorted in amusement as the boy rambled, making his "shining personality" perfectly clear. But the Dwabi's thin eyebrows raised at the sight of an interesting idea. "...Tell me, sir."(edited)
[7:35 PM] Nessbrawl: "Well it's quite simple really. We'll see keep on throwing down our petals as we do and when we're both done we'll go down and see which petals the people enjoyed the most yours or mine. I'm quite interested in seeing how many people like the petals you're throwing around and you have a clear advantage in terms of the number of people you're trying to make happy. So would you like to do this little contest with me?"
[7:37 PM] Histoire: "Ha ha ha ha! And how will we judge this truth? With kisses?" Sula reached into a leather bag in his robe, reloading. "I accept your Genni-ur game, good sir."
[7:41 PM] Nessbrawl: "Not with kisses, with words my good friend of flowers and futures. Though I will accept kisses if wanted." Jean nodded. "Alright then after we're done let's meet at the fountain in the middle of the plaza. Until then fare thee well my flying friend and may the best man win!" Jean flew away on Angard counting to shower the Land below with his rose petals.
[7:45 PM] Histoire: "Very well, Shimi-e! Ba! Ba!" The dark falcon's hooves sliced through the air, sending the pair downwards toward the plaza. Surprised at just how many of those red petals the man seemed to have gathered for such an occasion, Sula kept his flight path low, counting on precise petal placement in his performance.(edited)
[7:54 PM] Histoire: In the meantime, he took the chance to scan the surroundings. The southern section was mainly full of stands and supplies, while the more permanent shops were further north. But most of the traffic was coming from the sides..and the southern entrance. Perhaps the castle would be the best place to fall back to, but....
[8:02 PM] Histoire: Sula shook his head, waving at a guard and his son as he tossed a flourish of pink their way. The castle would be where all their flying forces would rally to. He sighed through a smile, wondering if this was even possible.
[8:08 PM] Histoire: Clutching a fistful of petals tightly, Sula guided Shimi into an upwards corkscrew, loosening his hand little by little as a pretty pink spiral enveloped the Queen's statue. The challenger may have his appearance, but he couldn't hope to match the speed of a pegasus.
[8:12 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean already knew what his plan of attack was going to be. The first place he would go to would be some of the villages and houses. Not everyone was at the party just yet and of course it would be a great way to start their day. So that would be his first plan. And of course he could make it to the entrances as well and his final stop would very likely be the castle. He knew he wouldn't be able to match Sula's speed but he could try to touch the hearts of more people he knew.
"Onward Angard let's go forward to victory!!!!!"
[8:19 PM] Histoire: His stunt finished, Sula realized the Wyvern rider was long gone. He wasn't the type to flee....was he actually going all around the city? Then asking only the people at the center where Sula had stayed?
"It looks like he understands Frey-zen elections, Shimi-e!"
The Dwabi clicked his tongue at the frivolity of it all, and took off eastward down a corner street, tossing petals from each side like some kind of ritual procession.(edited)
[8:32 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean after getting done had finally made it to the fountain. He may have overdid a bit but it didn't matter. He already saw the smiling faces of a couple of woman from the skies above. He smiled.
"I wonder if I've even won this to be honest but it doesn't really matter. In my own heart I know I've won." He continued flying until he ran out of rose petals. Jean turned back to return to the Plaza.
[8:36 PM] Histoire: Sula had already run rather low on Rhylia, and was simply gliding around a stone column, laughing and singing with some Dwabi travelers. It seemed the whole group was familiar with the obnoxious, consonant-free chorus.(edited)
[8:54 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean flew around trying to find Sula. He found him singing with some other Dwabi. Jean found his way through the group.
"Hello my friend Sula. Since you're singing with your merry band, I'll assume your done with throwing out your Rhylia."
[8:59 PM] Histoire: "Welcome back, Jean-ni!" The other visitors wave, shake their hats and greet "Johnny" happily. Sula waves to them, then takes a few steps out towards the nobleman as they approach the center statue.(edited)
[9:09 PM] Nessbrawl: "Hello my dear Sula. So how do you think you did in our little contest. I'm pretty confident that I got a good amount of people." Jean scratched Angard's neck.
"What about you Sula? Or do you already feel defeated?"
[9:10 PM] Histoire: "Ommm...." With his foot healed, Sula felt a rare twist of good fortune in his future. "Why don't we find a lovely young lady to be the judge?"(edited)
[9:11 PM] Mika Fey: Vivianna twirls, letting herself be taken in by the music. Her song rings out as she dances, making sure she got paid for this. "Colors of the world Spice up your life! Every boy and every girl Spice up your life! People of the world Spice up your life!"
[9:13 PM] Nessbrawl: "Hmmmm." How about that one. Jean pointed to the dancing girl who he recognized as Vivianna. "Hold on is that? Let's put the contest on hold for now!" Jean ran through the crowd as he bowed down to the dancing girl. "Ahhhh it's fantastic to see you again my beautiful Vivianna. I'm happy to see you again."
[9:15 PM] Mika Fey: She laughs. "Jean, didn't think I'd see you here. Still as flowery too."
[9:15 PM] Histoire: Sula's eyes narrowed at the man's enthusiasm. Of course, they had met before, but...
The Dwabi hummed, moving back to Shimi and leading her slowly towards the impromptu stage.
[9:22 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean was about to talk some more to Vivianna but he had remembered his deal with Sula. He could possibly kill two birds with one stones.
" My beautiful Vivianna would you like to go on a bit of a stroll with me for a bit. I've meet a fellow flier named Sula and me and him have gotten into a sort of contest which we are getting the results of now. Would you like to come walk with us for a bit?"
[9:23 PM] Mika Fey: "Sula.." She smiles. "I guess I could slip away from dancing for just a bit. Tell me what is the contest?"
[9:25 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean noticed how Vivianna had said the name as if she was reminiscing about something. He ignored it and continued.
"It's a challenge to see who can make more people happy. It's a simple contest really though I personally believe Sula's won it's still just a fun little bout between two fellow men of the skies."
[9:27 PM] Histoire: "Kwemo! Vivi-e!" From a ways away, Sula calls out to her as he leads the pegasus towards them.
[9:27 PM] Mika Fey: "Hmm sounds fun, I'll g-" She stops and turns. "Sula-e!"
[9:29 PM] Histoire: "ba, he whispers, only to find that Shimi is even more eager than him. She breaks into a full gallop, sending the Dwabi dangling behind from the reins for a moment. She stops abruptly in front of the songstress, and the shock launches Sula into the air.(edited)
[9:31 PM] Mika Fey: "Sula!" Her cry is filled with mirth. "Shimi, I missed you so much." She hugs the peg
[9:33 PM] Histoire: Somersaulting through the air, Sula managed to land on his feet. He bowed dramatically to Vivianna's audience, then stood up to walk back to the other two.(edited)
[9:34 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean laughed. It seemed like Sula's Pegasus truly loved Vivianna. It was no surprise. Now it seemed like Angard was trying to get the woman's attention shrieking quietly in her direction.
"But of course how could I forget. Angard is quite happy to see you again as well."
[9:36 PM] Mika Fey: She turns to the wryvern. "I missed you too Angard!"
[9:37 PM] Histoire: Shimi's wings twitch with joy as she leans closer into Vivianna. As she turns away they open wide, and she gives the larger beast a spiteful glare.
[9:39 PM] Mika Fey: She hugs the wryvern. "I'm glad she's doing good."
[9:42 PM] Nessbrawl: Angard nudged against the girl and happily accepted her embrace. Jean smiled happy that Angard was getting such loving attention.
"She's been doing great as well. Of course she's been loving the pieces of Grenadian Spice Cake you so gratefully gave us. Thanks again for those by the way."
[9:42 PM] Histoire: As Shimi starts to stir, preparing to neigh, Sula hurries over and strokes the side of her neck with his arms, wrapping them around her to calm her down. "Sh-sh-sh...Don't worry, Shimi-e."
The dark pegasus lowers her wings.
[9:43 PM] Mika Fey: "I'm so glad! I still want to have that picnic you know."
[9:45 PM] Nessbrawl: "Ah yes how about after the party! That would be very grand indeed!"
[9:45 PM] Histoire: Sula steps up to them, leaning his arms back. "Aa, so this is the Wyvern man you spoke of! Ha ha!"
[9:45 PM] Mika Fey: "Yep, isn't he funny."
[9:46 PM] Nessbrawl: "Hehe. I hope you only mean funny in the most kind of ways my lady." Jean pushed back his blonde hair.
[9:47 PM] Histoire: Sula brought them back forward, clapping his palms together. "And what an interesting game, ha. Seeing who can bring the most happiness to the city, with flowers falling through the sky! Did you see them, Vivi-e?"(edited)
[9:48 PM] Mika Fey: "I did, they were lovely!" She smiles at both of them.
[9:52 PM] Histoire: "As the Dwabi say: In a challenge of friendship / Nobody loses." Sula nods to her. The outfit made him feel a little homesick, but it looked very good on her.(edited)
[9:54 PM] Nessbrawl: "Ah that's a saying I could live by!" Jean nodded. "Back home we didn't really have any sayings expect: Live Life while you're living! which in my head sounds stupid but makes sense." Jean laughed as he remembered his mother's own motto.
[9:54 PM] Mika Fey: "You two are so similar."
[9:56 PM] Histoire: "...Truly, Vivi-e? But we...Omm..we are both wearing red, yes..."
[9:56 PM] Histoire: He extended a palm towards the mounts. "And we both ride through the skies.."
[9:56 PM] Nessbrawl: "And we are both quite handsome."
[9:57 PM] Mika Fey: She nods. "You very much are."
[9:58 PM] Histoire: Sula gave a quick glance back towards the castle. Perhaps it would be alright if he became a fugitive after all, but....it didn't feel alright. His eyes returned to the dancer.
[10:00 PM] Histoire: "I guess we will have to call this one a draw, Jean-ni."
[10:02 PM] Mika Fey: She looks at them before giving a subtle look at Sula. "So...how well do you two dance?"
[10:03 PM] Nessbrawl: "Of course. I would have it no other way Sula!" Jean turned to Vivianna. "I can dance pretty well if I do say so myself." Jean bowed to Vivianna as he extended his hand to hers.
"My lady would you give me this dance?"
[10:04 PM] Histoire: Sula hummed...but step forward to his side. "Dwabi dancing is...very different from kingdom....but Sula-e would be honored." He returns the look, extending his own hand.(edited)
[10:05 PM] Mika Fey: She takes time to think before lightly taking Sula's hand. "I'd love to...love."
[10:06 PM] Histoire: Sula's head turned over to Jean for a moment, winking at him. Then it slid back over to his partner.
[10:07 PM] Mika Fey: "But I think I own Jean one first." She lets go and walks over to Jean giving Sula a silly smile.
[10:08 PM] Histoire: "..O-of course." Sula's smile sharpened as he stepped to the side, out of the way.(edited)
[10:11 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean smiled. He could tell that the two had some kind of relationship with each other, at least more then he had with her. Jean got up and took Vivianna's hand. "A true man knows when he's beat Vivianna and I can tell that you and Sula really should have this first dance. I'm fine with waiting for a bit longer an eternity need be, but my heart would need to be frozen to the core to deny Sula the honor of dancing with you. I shall sit on the benches and wait my turn for now." He bowed to the Pink-Haired Dancer and walked over to Sula putting the man on the shoulder. "After you my fellow flier." Jean and Angard stepped to the side ready to watch a mystical dance between the two.
[10:12 PM] Mika Fey: She looks a little shocked before turning to Sula. "S-So..um.."
[10:14 PM] Histoire: His eyebrows lowered, still visibly flustered at her stunt. "Dwabi do not care for these matters of glory. First, last...The choice is yours."(edited)
[10:16 PM] Mika Fey: She blushes. "I really do want to dance with you Sula-e."
[10:17 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean smiled. "You heard the lady. Give her the dance she wants!"
[10:19 PM] Histoire: He sighs, not bothering to hide it any longer. "As you wish...Vivi-e." And then without another word, the Dwabi reached back, untied some golden strings, and cast off his robe.
[10:20 PM] Mika Fey: Her whole face flushes as she stares at him. "S-Sula! W-What are you doing?"
[10:22 PM] Histoire: Wearing only a pair of baggy green pants, Sula bounced onto his heels, whirling his arms around in front of his charcoal-tattooed torso. He extended a wiry-muscled arm towards her, smirking triumphantly. "...Dancing."
[10:23 PM] Mika Fey: She takes it, trying not to blush to much. "But did you have to take your robe off?"
[10:24 PM] Histoire: He places his other hand onto her bared midriff. "...I think we match quite well, now."(edited)
[10:27 PM] Mika Fey: She lets out a squeak. "W-Well lets dance!"
[10:28 PM] Histoire: He steps in close to her, looking down into her eyes as he brings their clasped hands up high as he whispers... "...lead, for now. I will learn your steps."(edited)
[10:33 PM] Mika Fey: She nods and starts to dance.(edited)
[10:36 PM] Histoire: Sula follows along, watching her legs' every movement carefully. He was relieved at the relatively slow pace, and the chance to take on a more lighthearted challenge than his usual duties.
[10:37 PM] Mika Fey: "You're getting it." She tightens her grip. "Sula..How do you like my outfit?"
[10:40 PM] Histoire: He slides along the plaza tile smoothly, his legs perhaps a bit too flowing as they go. "..It's beautiful."
[10:43 PM] Mika Fey: She giggles. "I'm glad you like it..I was a little shy getting out in this..but..I really wanted you to see."
[10:44 PM] Histoire: He nods, letting a hand go so she can twirl. "...It is very...bold, for kingdom, isn't it?"
[10:48 PM] Mika Fey: "It is...but..I kinda like it." She dips, smiling.(edited)
[10:52 PM] Histoire: His grip tightens. "..I like bold, too." As she comes up, he takes them spinning around past the audience, with his limbs now swaying in sync with hers.(edited)
[10:55 PM] Mika Fey: "I even took a little fashion advice from you. No shoes." She lets the dance end with them press tight together.
[10:58 PM] Histoire: Sula blinks, as her fair skin meets his. "That was wonderful, Vivi-e." He looks over at the boy by the wyvern, waving a friendly palm to him.
[10:59 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean clapped for the two and their beautiful dance.
"What a lovely show you two put on! I would ask for an encore. But I guess it's my turn now." Jean got up from his seat on his wyvern as he extended his hand to Vivianna. "When you're ready."
[11:01 PM] Histoire: The Dwabi man nodded, but kept ahold of her for a few moments more until she stepped away. He knew he should let her go...but he couldn't.(edited)
[11:03 PM] Mika Fey: She looks at him with a small blush. "A-Alright..a waltz would be wonderful..a-and I'd like you to lead Jean."
[11:04 PM] Histoire: Sula steps back, retrieving his robe and picking up some fallen beads.
[11:13 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean firmly gripped Vivianna's hand as he got into the position. "Don't worry my lady. I always know how to lead." Jean's legs got into the motions as he remembered how to replicate the others he saw do this. To him it came to him easily. Jean firmly put his left foot forward starting the lovely dance.
[11:17 PM] Mika Fey: She smiles. "I should have known another noble would knew this dance."
[11:20 PM] Nessbrawl: "Of course my dear Vivianna. Would you really think someone of noble birth wouldn't be able to waltz?" Jean twirled the girl around as he brought her close yet again. "I'm quite refined in the art."
[11:22 PM] Mika Fey: "Please do not use my before my name. I am not yours silly." She flicks his nose, letting him lead her. "Though I agree your dancing is wonderful."
[11:27 PM] Nessbrawl: "Hehe. I'm sorry of course you're not mine. You are unbound as of yet." He spun around with the girl before holding the girl. "Of course it's quite obvious to see that your heart belongs to Sula at the moment." He picked up the girl and twirled her around before letting her down again.
[11:29 PM] Mika Fey: "I-Is it?!" She tries to hide her blush. "I mean all we did was dance.."
[11:30 PM] Histoire: Sula's head emerges from out of his robe, only to see Vivianna blushing at the playboy as they waltzed. "Ommm...."
[11:36 PM] Nessbrawl: Jean looked at Sula. He didn't want the man to get the wrong idea. He had to end this dance."Well of course it is my...I mean Vivianna. It's obvious that you at least have an attraction for him. And it seems you've known him for a good while. I know it might not be good to say this but..." Jean brought her close as he ended the dance. "I believe you should cherish that Vivianna and let him know how you feel. True love like that is quite the beautiful thing. It's something that I will never be able to truly understand." Jean looked away not wanting to show the weakness in his eyes before letting go of the dancer an bowing courteously. "Thank you Vivianna for the dance I will cherish it always. But alas I must go. There's more to Amaterasu that I would like to see while I'm here. But whenever your ready for that Picnic just tell me I'll always be around somewhere." He bowed to her yet again before walking back to Angard where Sula and his Pegasus were also at. He turned to Sula. "You should count yourself lucky my fellow flier. She's a keeper." He then got upon his pitch-black Wyvern and took to the skies once again.
[11:39 PM] Mika Fey: She looks shocked..h-he was like her. Oh..She watches him leave, looking a little lost to those around her.
[11:41 PM] Histoire: Sula tried responding with a Kwemo, but was lost too deeply in thought. They looked so happy, and it looked so right...what was he doing, holding her back from true happiness like this, just because of the whims of the Nanyo heart?
[11:45 PM] Mika Fey: She blinks and shakes herself out of it before turning to Sula. "He's...stranger than I, thought." She walks back over to him. "But..I was wishing it was you and I still dancing when I danced with him.." She looks down.
[11:47 PM] Histoire: "...of course." Sula found himself gazing into the glinting blade of the knife he'd found in the cave. He stowed it abruptly, but did not stand yet.
[11:48 PM] Histoire: "It was...so nice, to dance with you, Vivi-e!" Sula's head came up, grinning at her.(edited)
[11:49 PM] Mika Fey: She pouts. "You are not romantic at all." He wasn't even jealous...didn't even truly seem fazed by her outfit. She looks away now. She should just go and leave him to do whatever.
[11:54 PM] Histoire: "Haa, was I that bad..?" Sula stood up, laying a hand on her shoulder. "That boy has no personality at all, you know. Shiny on the outside, rotten on the inside."
[11:56 PM] Mika Fey: She laughs. "No..I think he's a little like me." She looks at the hand and her pout deepens. "Well I guess I should be getting back to the party."
[11:57 PM] Histoire: "...party? Or picnic? You can speak truly to me, Vivi-e..."(edited)
[11:59 PM] Mika Fey: "Huh? What are you talking about? I do mean party."
[12:01 AM] Histoire: "With him, I'm sure. He knows how to dance like a kingdom boy." Sula exhales. "Flies your Wyverns, too."
[12:03 AM] Mika Fey: She looks at him eyes widening. "S-Sula..y-you were jealous...!" She grins, hugging him tightly. "I thought you didn't even care."
[12:04 AM] Histoire: "W-what?!" His face flushes. "Of him?! Vivi-e, please...You have better taste than that, ha."
[12:05 AM] Mika Fey: She hushes him with a soft kiss. "Sula-e, my heart belongs to you ok."
[12:10 AM] Histoire: Sula trembles at her touch. "V-vivi-e...We're out in the open..." He brings his arms around her.(edited)
[12:13 AM] Mika Fey: "And..do you not want to be seen with me?"
[12:14 AM] Histoire: "No, I...." He leans down, kissing her forehead. "You just surprised me."
[12:16 AM] Mika Fey: "Surprised you? Can I not kiss the one I love?"
[12:21 AM] Histoire: Sula pulled her in close, lost in her electric-blue eyes. "Of course...love."
[12:22 AM] Mika Fey: She smiles. "I was getting scared that you had changed your mind about us together ."
[12:26 AM] Histoire: "...We shared the same fear, then." His embrace tightens.
[12:27 AM] Mika Fey: She looks up at him. "Let's go on a date then..here at the party."
[12:30 AM] Histoire: "A date? I would love to!" Sula's brow furrows as he recalls his knowledge of the kingdoms. "...I do not think I have ever gone to one, though, ha."
[12:32 AM] Mika Fey: "Me neither but I'm sure it will be fun." She takes his hand. "Lets..hmm..stop to get something to eat first."
[12:34 AM] Histoire: Sula smiles, relieved. "What is it you would like?"
[12:35 AM] Mika Fey: "I don't know...let's just go to the closest stand we find."
[12:36 AM] Histoire: He motions to the pacing pegasus with a sweeping arm. "Shall we, love?"
[12:37 AM] Mika Fey: She nods, looking very excited
[12:38 AM] Histoire: As they reach Shimi, Sula lifts her up onto the saddle first, then leaps up himself. They fly over the crowds, and Sula hands her a small bag of pink Rhylia petals as they fly west towards the food stands.
[12:39 AM] Mika Fey: She looks a at them. "These are such lovely flowers."
[12:41 AM] Histoire: Sula leans back at her. "Would you like to join our contest?"
[12:41 AM] Mika Fey: She grins throwing the petals out. "Of course."
[12:45 AM] Histoire: The three of them fly down to the food stand, leaving a pretty pink trail behind. Shimi sets down on the ground joyfully, and Sula hops off, extending his arms wide in preparation to catch Vivianna.
[12:46 AM] Mika Fey: She leaps into his arms smiling. "And here I thought you couldn't be romantic. "
[12:49 AM] Histoire: "You heard me...." His feet move back and forth as he spins her around, setting her down. "I will learn your steps, Vivi-e."(edited)
[12:50 AM] Mika Fey: She giggles, giving him a quick peck. "Oh a dumpling place over there, let go there."
[12:54 AM] Histoire: "Dumplings.." Sula's stomach rumbled anxiously. He hadn't eaten in a few days, but... "Kwemo!" He takes her in the direction of the dumpling stand, running his fingers along hers.(edited)
[1:00 AM] Mika Fey: She hums, feeling very content right now.
[10:37 PM] Histoire: They reached the stand, finding themselves in a bit of a line. The plaza was much more crowded than it had been in the days leading up to the event.
[10:38 PM] Mika Fey: "Huh seems a lot of people came out."
[10:39 PM] Histoire: "Many different kinds...I even saw some Dwabi passing through all the way from Galla-ran." He glanced over his shoulder. Looks like they had gone off to some other corner of the square.
[10:42 PM] Mika Fey: "Did you? How exciting! Maybe if you see them again we could stop to say hello." She rocks a little rubbing her tummy.
[10:43 PM] Histoire: "Of course." He grinned brightly. "But what if we make them jealous?" The line was moving quite fast, as the storekeepers were all well-prepared for the occasion.
[10:45 PM] Mika Fey: "Jealous? Jealous of what?" She follows the shorten line.
[10:46 PM] Histoire: He comes up to her side. "Of the man on a date with the most beautiful girl in the city."
[10:47 PM] Mika Fey: She pauses with her order to look up at him blushing. "I-Ill have the chicken dumpling please!"je
[10:49 PM] Histoire: "And I will have five of the pork dumpling."(edited)
[10:51 PM] Mika Fey: She leans on him. "The most beautiful Sula...that is too much. I'm sure the princess will be much lovelier."
[10:55 PM] Histoire: "No, no. She might have a more expensive dress, but..." Sula rests his head on hers while they wait.. "...There is something she is missing."
[10:56 PM] Mika Fey: "Ohh and what is that?"
[10:57 PM] Histoire: He taps a finger on her enchanted necklace. "Sula-e's heart. Only one woman gets that."(edited)
[10:58 PM] Mika Fey: "Oh.." She gets a silly smile and kisses the necklace. "She is missing something very special but I don't think I want to ever give it away."
[11:00 PM] Histoire: "Mey Vivi-e..." He fails to notice the dumplings arrive, or even the clerk's gestures.
[11:03 PM] Mika Fey: She plays with the necklace some more. "Sula-e, the food is ready~"
[11:04 PM] Histoire: "...o-Oh!" He takes their dishes and finds a nearby table for them to sit at. "T-this store is...much more popular than the others. I wonder why?"
[11:06 PM] Mika Fey: "I think since it's fast and quick to eat." She shoves a few dumplings in her mouth.
[11:08 PM] Histoire: He nods, taking some as well. While his pace is faster, Sula stops after every dumpling to contemplate the flavor.
[11:10 PM] Histoire: "...The taste is not terrible, either, ha ha." Sula looks satisfied, picking up one of his dumplings and holding it up to Vivianna's mouth.
[11:12 PM] Mika Fey: She looks at it in surprise before scooting closer and wrapping her lips around the dumpling and his fingers. She pulls away slowly chewing on the dumpling. "I don't like the pork one all too much..but something about this one makes it taste really good."
[11:14 PM] Histoire: Sula blushes, blinking.... and lowers his fingers, plucking a dumpling from her plate. "Ah...then you would prefer chicken?" He winks, as his tattoed hand flips upward.
[11:15 PM] Mika Fey: She does the same thing, letting her mouth stay a little long before pulling away. "Mmm it taste better too."
[11:17 PM] Histoire: Sula chuckles, leaning into the table. "Quite the appetite, Ee?"(edited)
[11:18 PM] Mika Fey: "Yes I am pretty hungry."
[11:21 PM] Histoire: The Dwabi flicks a dumpling into his own mouth with his other hand, trapping it between his teeth before pulling it in with his tongue. "..So am I."
[11:23 PM] Mika Fey: Her growing blush deepens. "You really seem to like..d-dumpling.."
[11:24 PM] Histoire: Sula shakes his head. "Nn, forgive me...but it is only my second favorite taste at this table."(edited)
[11:27 PM] Mika Fey: "Second..t-then what's your first?"
[11:27 PM] Histoire: Sula's grey eyes simply dart around the store, feigning ignorance as the corners of his mouth rise.(edited)
[11:29 PM] Mika Fey: She pokes him. "What's your first love?"
[11:30 PM] Histoire: His eyes lock into place, staring straight at her. "..Vivian-na."
[11:33 PM] Mika Fey: The dumpling she was holding drops as she stares back at him. She bites her lips giving him a warm look. "I like the taste of Sula very much."
[11:38 PM] Histoire: Sula leans closer. "...Tell me, how does it taste?"
[11:39 PM] Mika Fey: "Well I can't really describe it but whenever I taste it I just can't get enough. It makes me so warm." Their lips are nearly touching now.
[11:42 PM] Histoire: Sula gives her a slight sample of his lips before leaning back.
[11:43 PM] Mika Fey: She pouts, shoving the last of her dumpling in her mouth and turning away. "I barley got a taste."
[11:45 PM] Histoire: "Do not worry....there is plenty more." Sula finishes the pork.
[11:47 PM] Mika Fey: She huffs. "Maybe but by then who knows if I'll want a taste." She grins.
[11:49 PM] Histoire: "Mm... You are too good of a negotiator, love." Sula took her hand in his. "Now or never, then?"
[11:50 PM] Mika Fey: She nods. "I'm getting greedy."
[11:52 PM] Histoire: "..." Sula lets out a giddy sigh. "..You know I can't help but pay up, don't you." He lunges in, giving her a proper kiss right in the middle of the dumpling store.
[11:54 PM] Mika Fey: After awhile, she breaks it off licking her lips. "Yep still so very good." Vivi giggles.
[11:56 PM] Histoire: "You might have gotten sweeter, ha ha ha." Sula stands, lifting her hand as he rises.
[11:58 PM] Mika Fey: She laughs. "Sweeter, well I have been eating more sweets lately." She tugs him arm, leading him to some little shops.
[12:02 AM] Histoire: Sula waves back glibly at the dumpling store as they leave, but with the sort of reputation the place had earned the lovers' antics didn't get nearly as much of a reaction as normal.
"Or...I wonder if I am just paying more attention this time?"
Sula glances at all the shops, looking for something that looked like Vivianna would like it.(edited)
[12:06 AM] Mika Fey: She picks up a small feather charm. It was rather cute and reminded her of the man next to her. While she looks at that, a small corner filled with different jewelry catches his eyes.
[12:10 AM] Histoire: Sula looks over the various earrings and bracelets, staring through their sparkles to find the perfect one. ...It seemed the prices had raised since last time he had been through here, but that was fine with him.
[12:11 AM] Mika Fey: Vivianna buys matching feather charms. A pair of small pink flower earrings sparkle up at Sula.
[12:14 AM] Histoire: While she's distracted, the Dwabi slips over to the corner, looking up at the boy working there. "I will take these," he says, pulling out a small bag of gold not unlike his petal pouch.
[12:16 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "Having fun at the party sir?" Drew turned around and looks up at the customer "Oh- hey Sula!"
[12:17 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: He was wearing a pretty formal uniform
[12:19 AM] Histoire: "D-drew-i! The man hardly recognized him in such a respectable getup. "Wait a moment. Vivi-e!" Sula waved over the crowd toward her.
[12:20 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "Oh cool she's here too!...too bad i'll be here for a whiiiile"(edited)
[12:22 AM] Mika Fey: "Huh? Oh! Drew!".she quickly gets over to wear they are now.(edited)
[12:25 AM] Histoire: Sula holds up an pair of sparkling amethyst abutilons once she draws close. "...For you, my sweet."(edited)
[12:29 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: Drew counts the gold to make sure Sula payed the right amount before his ears pick up on "my sweet"(edited)
[12:30 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: He glances over looking confused but doesn't say anything probably just...a dwabi thing?
[12:51 AM] Mika Fey: "Huh..Oh Sula these are so wonderful!" She hands a feather charm. "I bought two so that we could match love"(edited)
[12:55 AM] Histoire: Sula takes the charm, sliding it onto his arm. "Ha ha! It fits with the robe well!"(edited)
[12:58 AM] Mika Fey: "It looks lovely on you." She holds up her arm to show the matching on around her wrist. She quickly puts on the earrings. "These are so beautiful Sula-e.."
[12:59 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "So uh...whats the occasion?...besides...the.. Party and all..." Why did I ask that
[1:01 AM] Histoire: Sula holds his charm up to hers, smiling warmly. "...Dumplings."
[1:05 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: Drew leans on the table with a smug look, his hand on his cheek "uh-huh, so whats up with the 'dumplings'"
[10:30 AM] Mika Fey: "What do you mean Drew? I mean we did just come from that stand."
[10:33 AM] Histoire: Sula gestures off in its direction with his chin, going along with it. "They were...not bad. But the dessert was perfect."
[10:33 AM] Mika Fey: Her blush flairs up again at his words.
[10:38 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "Hm, maybe I should check it out..Oh yeah I had some dumplings with Elwyn and Leodin!" He remembers that they tasted good and looks excited
[10:39 AM] Mika Fey: She laughs. "You should, the line is pretty long though."
[10:41 AM] Histoire: "So, you work at this store now?" Sula looks behind Drew, noticing the same crochety jewelry store owner from before.
[10:44 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "Yeaaah I liked this place better then...uh....hunting meat"
[10:45 AM] Mika Fey: "I can understand, hunting is a little stressful." She plays with the charm a little.
[10:49 AM] Histoire: "Yes...I think we all need a chance to relax, and celebrate." Sula thinks back to their last picnic, grateful for their safety. He watches Vivianna, humming happily. Not a drone this time, but a simple melody.(edited)
[10:58 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "Hmmm..." Drew looks impatient, he reaaally wants those dumplings, he looks in the direction Sula pointed at earlier
[10:59 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "Celebrate huh..."
[10:59 AM] Mika Fey: "You should go over then, I'm sure a quick break wouldn't hurt."
[11:02 AM] Histoire: Sula's head hung back, watching the drifting clouds. He had no idea where anyone important was, or what was happening in the castle, or even what he would be doing by the end of the day. It was a refreshing feeling. "Truly, a break helps to clear your head of troubles."
[11:05 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "I'll chat with the manager in a bit, just make sure you guys have fun!"
[11:05 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: he calms down and smiles
[11:06 AM] Mika Fey: "Oh I know we will."
[11:07 AM] Histoire: "Oh, we are--" Sula stops as they speak at the same time. He chuckles a bit, blushing.
[11:09 AM] Mika Fey: She grins.
[11:12 AM] ChaoticGlassAce: "Heh, alright" Drew see's more customers coming closer, he looks and see's the other worker left "Nooooo~!" Drew said in a hushed voice, he looked straight up, annoyed "I need some me time after this...See ya guys later!"(edited)
[11:12 AM] Mika Fey: "Alright, bye Drew!"
[11:13 AM] Histoire: "Kwemo!" They walk away from the flooded jewelry stand, and Sula jokes quietly to her: "I wonder if the Prince of Thieves has...abdicated, ha."
