Danny politely refused the champagne and muttered something along the lines of, "Both Mom and God would kill me if I had any sort of alcohol," and listened as everyone shared their backgrounds and gave Raz a strange look when he mentioned other Grims. He must just be an Earth thing.
When the fox comes in, his eyes lighten and he tries to check the foxes tail without acting suspicious. Only one tail, how disappointing.
"Have you ever heard of the Jiuweihu?" He asks, still checking out the fox.
Crystal drank the champagne, and suddenly a second tail flashed out as she curled up and whacked Crystal's legs. She loved on the fox, happy to have all the attention averted off of her.
(Wait what? So the fox has two tails? I is confuzzled.)
(yeah. Sorry. Detail I forgot)
(Anyways who shall reply? Someone should interact with Crystal before I'm forced to figure out something else on the spot)
Raz looked back at the person who just waltzed in. "Hello," She said turning around. "Who might you be?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.
Crystal shied away, just letting them be, and sent the fox off back into the forest to let it go rest, and a new vine slithered in with a black and white striped bow tie. "Hmm, your Zachary not Thomas. Oh well. Would anyone like anything?"
"No thanks," Danny says a little disappointedly, sad he didn't get to pet the two-tailed fox.
"But I did really like your fox. Is she a Jiuweihu or just a fox that somehow has two tails?"
(Sorry! I was going to reply sooner about the two tails thing but then we realized my dog ran off and we had to go find her. She's safe, happy, and a little guilty looking at home now though. XP)
"A Jiuweihu." She says with a nod.
Danny gasps and makes the face a kid would make when they a cute puppy or kitten for the first time.
"Woah. Those are like, my favorite mythical creature, and you have one as a pet!? Where have you been all my life?" He says with a laugh.
"Tucked away into the corners. But tonight, I am to be engaged." She said with a sad sigh, and curled up. "Farra will come back. She's always on the by and by."
"Really? I didn't know that was what this party was about. I was… sent here you could say." Danny explains.
"I have a dog, Keiran, and he's great. He plays catch, tag, and a bunch of other things. He a really well trained German Shephard. Though, he's really only a German Shephard." He says, laying back. He checks his wristwatch and adjusts his suit.
"Do you have any more champagne?" Thorne asked, staring at Danny. "If you don't, that's fine," they continued, shifting their gaze to Crystal, "or if you have anything else to drink, that'd be fine as well."
"I do…more champagne please." It slithers off and her eyes wander back to the outside world, growing tired of the conversation.
"Bored, Crystal?" Thorne asked, eyes glittering. "If you want to…" they shrugged, the corner of their mouth lifting slightly, "we could go for a walk in the woods, or something."
"I shouldn't stray to far from the party…" She said, glancing between the castle and the forest, torn between responsibility and passion. "How about the gardens instead? It's a lot more dangerous in the woods at night anyways." She says with a nod.
"The gardens work." Thorne walked over to Crystal and held their hand out to her. "My lady," They said with a smile.
She blushed and took your hand with a smile. She knew that the competition for her was rising as she walked off with you, the fox suddenly bolting out of nowhere,holding something in it's mouth. "Oh yes the collar I had made, also secretly." She put on the diamond encrusted collar and it walked beside us two as fireflies buzzed and people made marry, having moved outside as the ballroom became more and more packed. "Now then Thorne, why have you pulled me away from the others hm?" (Brb for about a half hour)
"Oh, well. You looked bored, and I thought you would want a change of scenery." Thorne shrugged. "You seem to love the outdoors, so…" They gestured around them. "Here we are, enjoying them. Hopefully." They give her a slight, hopeful smile.
(This will be my last post for tonight, probably.)
(I’m going to bed and I’m not sure what you want Danny to do so I’ll just jump back in after school tomorrow (btw I have school, ugh)).
(i'm on during school. yay) She smiled. "I love the outdoors. The life of it all, it's truly amazing and just blows my mind." She says with a nod. "When I get married, I am making sure it is an outside wedding." She said with a nod.
“Ah, didn’t introduce myself.” Obhil finished off the last of the their drink. While they had a mouth, their mouth did not move as they spoke. “Obhil. I go by many names. The Infinite Shadow, Senator.. Discount Demon..” they seemed to slightly smile as they listed off some of their names. “But by most, I am named Obhil.”
