Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iluday looks at Ardra with raised eyebrow before muttering something he knows he deserves to be slapped for saying. "So you'd prefer more girls?" In the end, Iluday had decided to say it in a way so as he could play it off in case he had totally missed with his odd sense of humor. Laughing to himself at his own jumbled thoughts, he stumbles out the door into the night, heading in the direction he believes the house to be in.

Ardra's cute nose twisted in distaste at the idea and she swatted at him impatiently, paying the bar tender a handsome sum of money before wondering off into the street steering Iluday in the proper direction of her house.

"No. I am rather fond of my opposite sex, but when they're constantly badgering you about phone numbers, adresses, contacting me later and all that gunk it makes the evening a tad bit less enjoyable. Seeing as its almost like playing a game of some sort. Telling lies and the such." Once more her hand raised and she waved the comment away like a bad odor.

: Everything occured so swiftly that before Varian knew it, Durant had left, leaving her with a small square of paper in her palm. So, fire, is it? She placed the contact card in her pocket; all the while her eyes remained on the dusty ashes scattered across the table. Father Cane was engaged in some dysfunctional discussion with the man at the next table, and intruiging as it was, the man that had recieved the brunt of Durant's monologue caught and kept her attention. She almost felt bad for him; Durant had been rather harsh with him. He looked familiar...Wasn't he one of the men from the beach? She couldn't think of anything to say to him; she just shifted her gaze from the faint ashes to the man. :

Rein stood silently, watching the scene. Durant, the man who bought the world with his own hands... well, I have to have some respect for that, he thought. Turning towards father Cane, and politly ignoring the electric mage, he said, "why, thank you, sir. I am sorry to you, as well, for my outburst." He smiled widely; a smile that won friends in moments, because it was a smile of true contentment with oneself, and with the world around him. "Do you mind if I order?" he asked, taking the seat offered, "I'm famished, and you both look like you could use a little somthing."

: Varian's gaze was broken as a man sat himself across from her. "Oh, uh, yes...Food would be nice." As if on cue, a waiter appeared at the end of the table. "May I take your orders?" Varian ordered a plate of orange chicken with a side of fried rice and waited for the other men to order. She was curious about the company she had found herself in despite her exaustion. Varian glanced at the man who had caused Durant's departure out of the corner of her eye. She would make small talk with these men, eat, and go to bed. Bed, she thought, what a wonderful word. :

"No, wait, you don't have to, it's..." However, as much as he didn't want to lean on her and force her to support him, Iluday couldn't very well walk properly on his own. "Thank you. I shouldn't drink so much. I hope you had fun tonight." Trying to steal away most of his weight onto himself as possible, he lets Ardra help him out. "Ardra...you're a good person...er, elf, I guess."

Ardra rolls her eyes, tightening her grip on her companion as they suffer towards her house. "Its ok, I had fun and drink away. Part of the fun is getting drunk. And no, I'm not all that great." She easily shrugged off the last comment, finding it to be slightly amusing. "You're a funny human, you know? Staying in my home without honestly knowing me and going out for drinks with me without honestly knowing me..." the thought trailed off, her eyes staring upwards for a moment before moving on.

With Iluday's laughter ringing in her sensitive ears she winced slightly, a thin smile spreading over her features as he did so.

"You trust to easy. Not everyone is nice, as you sleep in your drunken stupor tonight I could kill you with that oh-so-soft bed that I made. It wouldn't take hardly any effort, a thought at best. Rearrange their genetic make up, tweek a few things and in no time I could cut off your air supply. Perhaps by slipping a vine around your neck, sliding a huge leaf over your mouth and having the vines slowly tighten until your throat can no longer open and close to permit air. Although with your abilities it might be possible to seep the required air into your lungs...how would you get the carbon out?" She paused, stopping in her spot her long hair hanging agianst her back as she thought for a moment. Ardra had ranted to long, thinking about it far to much for a elf that wouldn't dream of doing such a thing to her newly found compaion.

"I'm sorry Iluday, I hope that didn't frighten you off. I'm sure you'd be able to take me in a heart beat. I'm no match for anyone." With a light hearted chuckle she continued to trudge on with the weight of Iluday on her. The slim frame she had was built tough, at least she liked to think so. Now was a time she needed it, as she supported her drunken friend.

The malachite colored eyes turning to the mentioned stars, the smile now returning in full. "The stars have always been lovely. Although not the reason I live away from the town. The plants like open air. Or at least as open as my house is."
