Cynthia was the first to walk into the ballroom. She was amazed of how much effort went into making this amazing scenery happen. Cynthia herself was also looking astonishing elegant when she walked into the ball room. She wore a yellow floral dress, as the dress ran down it had a white belt, then white ruffles to match. She wore white boots which seemed to be the only casual thing about her outfit but it still emphasized her elegance from the moment she stepped in. She wore sleeves that matched the theme of her dress, and a Zircon necklace given to her by Perseus which complements her wonderful aquamarine eyes. Her soft, long, light brown hair was worn down as always, and of course the symbol of Devoncroix, the lunar hair pin.
Escorting Lady Cynthia to this ball was Perseus who was looking sharper and more excited then ever. He listened to the flow of the music and stopped to take in the amazing scenery. His topaz colored eyes scanned the area in admiration. He began to followed behind Cynthia. Perseus also look stunning for this event. He wore a tuxedo which he rarely does. Tuxedo pants, white button down dress shirt, and the tuxedo jacket. He did not wear a tie, however hanging from his neck was a crescent moon shaped medallion. Around his waist he wore a dark blue sash that had white sparkles on it and a crescent moon shaped pin holding it on his waist which gave the appearance of beautiful night sky. He wore a black suit hat, the same hair pin was pinned to his hat, his brown hair was still visible above his eyes. "Wonder when the others will show?"
Cynthia took a break from admiring the ballroom and looked at Perseus, "Not sure." Perseus extended his hand as an offer to dance. Cynthia accepted the offer and then slowly swayed to the music as they awaited the other members so they can truly begin to have fun.

Devan walked into the ballroom, fidgeting with his tux. He grumbled a bit as he looked around the room, he didn't like dressing up like this. He spotted Perseus and Cynthia and watched them dance, leaning himself against a wall as he awaited his mate.

Alexis walked in, gazing around slowly as she took in the decorations and the people. Spotting a flower trailing down the wall, she headed towards it and cupped it in a gloved hand, leaning forward to sniff at it delicately. A small smile lit her face and she turned, deciding that her duty demanded her to be polite and sociable.

As people began to filter into the room, Kira stepped down from the stage. Her burgundy dress flowed around her legs like water, and she glided through the room. her pastel wig flowed around her as she walked, as if it had a life of it's own. She nodded to Perseus and Cynthia, Waved at Alexis, Bowed to Devan, and then made her way to a chair on the side of the room, to await more revelers to the party.

Young Revive entered the ballroom at a casual pace as though he wasn't sure where he was or what he was doing. Despite the uncertainty however, it seemed that the young lycan had made some preparations to make himself look somewhat more acceptable. The hair that had grown long over the time of his stay in Devoncroix was pulled back into a long ponytail on the back of his head, revealing the faint star-shaped mark on his forehead. The scruff he had sported for the last few days was shaved off, the skin on his face now smooth and clean.
He pushed back the flap of his dark tux longcoat and shoved one hand into the pocket of his trousers. At least the nonchalant gesture served to remind that clothing and occasion wasn't enough to get Revive to follow all rules. He'd have amplified the gesture with the other hand, but it seemed occupied... With a bouquet. It was somewhat akin to the leaf bouquets popular in the Autumn, but this one consisted of strange ornate silvery leaves. They were held together with a dark blue ribbon with long loose ends. And sometimes across the surface of the leaves, living color still pulsed...
Apparently Revive had discovered and made a bouquet out of the leaves of the tree that the Guest of Devoncroix had planted centuries ago. Though whether or not he knew of the purposes behind the tree or the reasons for its being there, he found it fitting to gather the leaves into what he now held in his hand. Just whom he was going to present with the bouquet however was a mystery. Revive came here alone, didn't seem to be looking for anyone in the crowd of celebrating lycans, wasn't escorting anyone either.
He walked in further. After waving nearly dismissively at some of the visitors who weren't already preoccupied with their partners for tonight to greet the young lycan, he noticed Kira, today's celebration's host, at the side of the room. 'Dutiful and vigilant.' He thought to himself. Thinking back about it, even Revive himself wouldn't be able to remember if he had intended a mocking tone for that thought or one of true admiration. Trying to shake the feeling of absent-mindedness he walked over to the chair. At first he merely found that observing the guests from this position was pretty convenient. He let his eyes scan the entire crowd casually before he spoke up, addressing Kira. "This all's a big thing, huh? Thought of what you're going to do around here already?"

Smiling sweetly at Revive, Kira spoke in a soft voice.
"I guess tonight I watch. I have no mate to dance with, and someone has to make sure things go well. Feel free to join me if you'd like. Company would be nice."
She smiled again and looked up and down the young lycan.
"You look quite dashing this evening."

Despite the very look in his eyes saying 'Don't rub it in' in reference to Kira's compliment to his clothing, what the young lycan actually voiced was a muffled "Thanks." Apparently he still wasn't entirely over following a sudden impulse to pay attention to the dress-code. After another comical face-off in the latest chapter of his inner conflicts, he actually chose to question the latter phrase. "No mate, eh? And there I thought all Devoncroix had already split into pairs... All who were concerned about being in pairs anyway." He leaned against a pillar next to her chair.
A pair waltzed a small distance in front of them, the spiral of colorful clothing moving in and out of their sight to reveal the bigger picture of the ballroom. In terms of the two groups Revive had mentioned, he wasn't entirely sure whether he was an unlucky one of the concerned, or a successful one of the unconcerned. One way or another different things were on his mind that night and as he leaned back with the further hand from Kira loosely holding the boquet directed downwards he found making conversation with someone as the best course of action.

Kira smiled sadly and turned her face to the paws clasped on her lap
"I am alone. As a healer, Emotional attachment is dangerous, but more than that, I am of Mendenhall Lineage, I am feline, and therefore, i would need to find a mate of my own race, as the laws decree."
Turning a sidelong glance at Revive, she smiled shyly
"You seem... preoccupied."

Cynthia turned her head to look at the others. Her arms were wrapped around Perseus's neck. She smiled seeing Kira and Revive socializing. She nodded her head politely to Lord Devan. She noticed Alexis and smiled at her politely, then turned her attention back to Perseus.
"Awaiting anyone in particular?" Perseus asked with his hands around her waist guiding her through their swaying motion in rhythm to the music. Cynthia chuckled and shook her head no. "How about you Perseus? Keeping your eyes opened?" Perseus just smiled he truly wasn't even sure if he was interested at this point. They both laughed. Perseus glanced around nodded his head to Lord Devan in respect then focused on the music and the motion.

Ophelia was only here for the sake of seeing what the extravangance was like, she felt no connection with celebrating days; if she was required to celebrate, it would be a mental celebration and that was all.
Skimming round the edge of the ballroom, her eyes wandered in search of food, the only thing she was familiar with.

Revive listened for Kira's reasons for a while, though his attention was hard to actually spot. Eventually however, the lycan let out a barely concealed yawn and responded to her words. "Jee, is that all?" He looked to the side, his eyes shifting in color - when his irises used to be a pale green they turned to an impenetrably deep shade of indigo. "You know, I don't mean to sound like a rebel or anything... But I say all you gotta do is stay true to yourself. You feel something - feel it and express it the way you feel like so long as you're not crossing anyone. Feeling's gone? Then that's fine too. They come and go."
This he said to her, his speech becoming all the more expressive since he'd gesture with his hands, including his preoccupied one. But he soon proceeded to wave his palm dismissively. Perhaps it was referring to his prior "revelation", perhaps to her mentioning him being preoccupied.
"C'mon." He said suddenly. "Don't you like anyone out there? You can dance with whoever you like."

Shock filled, and a little upset by Revives comment, Kira sat up straight.
"I am true to myself. I have had enough heartbreak in my life, i need no more."
Kira relaxed a little.
"Besides, Anybody out there is already occupied."
She shook her head and stared at the spattering of people.
"I am surprised there aren't more people here yet though, I thought I passed out the invites."
It's not that i enjoy being lonely, I just don't want to hurt anymore.

Alexis nodded back at Cynthia, watching as she and Perseus danced. They were...cute, she decided, and then looked around, seeing Devan, Kira, and a lycan that she was not completely familiar with. She knew his name, but very little else. Repressing a sigh, she lounged against the wall, pushing an errant strand of hair back. She wished there were more people.

Prufalas Devoncroix Vice Captain

Posted: Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:35 pm
Prufalas wandered into the grand ballroom and seemingly took everything in through her silvery eyes. She marveled at the fine details of every little thing her eyes wandered over to her beta and for the first time she smiled.
She looked surprisingly regal and why shouldn't she? She was after all Devoncroix and tonight, well tonight would be the time to shine like their luna, the moon.
She approached Kira and touched her arm gingerly as she embraced her.
"Lovely to see you again, and everything is breathtaking."
