Mark smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Thanks Abby. Also, where's Peter? I haven't seen him since we got here." He asked.
Nyt looked around, trying to spot the person in question, but having no luck.

Abby shrugged and started looking around for their missing friend. ”I thought I saw him earlier…” she said. ”Oh, over there- oh, no. Nyt, I’m going to need you to hold me back or I’m going to smack him.” she grumbled.

Peter seemed to be doing fine, mingling with everyone and being friendly… but it appeared to be coming too normally for him. He hadn't brought any of his weapons for the sake of peace to the event, however, when he walked around he kept one of his arms against his side.

Nyt furrowed her brow before lifting Abby off the ground by a few inches so she couldn't go anywhere. "Alright, but why? He seems to be doing just fine and he's not doing anythin wrong." Nyt pointed out.

”Thanks.” Abby nodded as she was picked up. ”He’s trying to look like that. It's hard to be sure from here but I think he's got a bottle on him.” she said softly, discreetly gesturing to his unmoving arm. ”Either that or he got into a fight before he showed up.”

"A bottle?" Nyt asked as she tried to get a better look at Peter. "He doesn't look like he's been in a fight from what I can see."

”If he was, he knows how to hide it.” Abby pointed out. ”We need to get over to him and find out which it is before he makes a bad impression on someone.” she sighed, actually hoping he was just hurt and not sneaking a drink.

"Alright then." Nyt said, setting Abby down and heading in the direction of Peter. "Would he seriously sneak alcohol in here?"

Abby shrugged as she followed Nyt. ”Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if he did… but I'm really hoping that he didn't.” she admitted before waving to get Peter’s attention. ”Hey, Peter!”

Peter looked up and smiled as he saw them approach. ”Hey, Abby. Nyt. Great party.”

"Hey Peter!" Nyt said, waving at him. "I think its going pretty well. What about you?" She asked.

”Yeah. It's going smoothly.” Peter smiled at the two. ”You guys really started something. Congratulations.”

Abby gave a small smile back, her face heating up slightly at the compliment. ”Thanks.” she said softly before clearing her throat. ”Are you doing alright?”

Nyt gently lead the two away from any big crowds, just in case Abby did end up yelling at Peter for sneaking something in.

Peter’s smile faltered a little for a brief moment before returning to normal. ”Yeah, I’m fine, Abby. Why do you ask?” he said raising a brow as he noticed what Nyt was doing.

”You’re hiding something and as one of the people involved with getting things this far, I need to know what it is.” Abby pointed out firmly but quietly to avoid drawing attention to their little group.

Nyt gave Peter the look of 'Tell the truth and this will be over quick'.

Peter actually flinched a little at the look Nyt gave him. Maybe because it was her height or just the fact that she was a Sylvian that intimidated him. ”It’s nothing to worry about, guys. Seriously, I just… AAHH!” he groaned as Abby suddenly gripped his arm.

Abby raised a brow and pulled Peter’s shirt back a little, revealing a bandage wrapped around his shoulder. ”What happened?”

Nyt furrowed her brow as she saw the bandage. "A Sylvian didn't do that, did they?" She asked, concerned.

Peter sighed and shook his head. ”No. It wasn't.” he assured as he shrugged his shirt back into place. ”It was just an overzealous sparring match… with a few… heated words. We both got carried away but I wasn't going to miss this because of a sore arm.” he smiled a little at them both.

Nyt let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, but you need to make sure that it can heal up properly." She said.

”That’s why it's bandaged, Nyt.” Peter smiled with a joking chuckle. ”Besides, I’m being careful not to move it too much.”

Abby nodded at her friend. ”Well, as long as you’re careful… Maybe later you can tell me how bad the other guy got it and what was said.” she half-teased with a smirk despite the slight concern about what may have caused the match to ”heat up” that way.

"At least he wasn't sneaking alcohol in like you said. The council would of panicked." Nyt said with a smile. "And I would love to hear what started this fight."

”Abby!” Peter said in shock. ”You really thought I would do something that stupid? I know how important this is. If I had any, I would save it for after when I got home with some friends.” he pointed out with a small scowl before looking at Nyt a little uneasily. ”I don't think… It was just a sparring match, Nyt. Nothing started it. The… banter just got out of hand.” he explained rolling his shoulder slightly.

Abby blushed at the admonishment but met his glare with one of her own. ”Excuse me for being a little paranoid when I can't afford to let something get messed up! Do I need to remind you of the times when you did bring a drink to a meeting or something like this.” she sighed and shook her head. ”Let’s just forget about the drink and you can tell us who it was against.”

Nyt nodded as she put an arm around Abby now that they were away from everybody. "How badly did you beat the other guy?" She asked with a grin.

Peter couldn't help the proud smirk as he looked at Nyt. ”Worse than he got me. I think I broke his nose and maybe bruised a few ribs on the guy, while I only got a dislocated shoulder as the worst on me.” he chuckled.

"Was it anyone I know?" Nyt asked. "Never mind actually. I don't actually know too many humans by name."

Peter shook his head. ”No. I don't think you know him but he was one of the ”guards” when you came to the camp… When you two spoke in front of the council.” he explained.

”Anyone I know?” Abby asked, trying to recall everyone who had jumped in front of them when Myers gave the order.

Nyt frowned when she heard about the guard. "What was the argument about?" She asked, already having a suspicion of what it might of been about.
