Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Y'got me for a full weekend after prom," he said. "I'm sure you'll think of somethin! But I thought we'd go t'the drive-in, whaddaya say?" he said. "We'll bring a blanket and spend the entire night slippin' from one drive-in movie t'the next. It'll be great!"

Lark looked properly sated by that prospect, and her smile couldn't have been bigger. She continued the ridiculous-looking dance she was doing.

"I guess that sounds good t'me," Lark kept on grinning. Her tone made it obvious that it sounded better than good. "When d'ya gotta get back on stage?"

Shaheen's lips twitched up into a half smirk as the boy changed the record and a new song replaced the sounds of the previous one, the beat of a drum something that she felt like she could really move along with, even if the so called singing sounded a bit like cats yowling to her ears. "Ah yes, that is a little more what I was expecting." Her eyes roamed over him a little more freely now, a golden glow set in absolute darkness, lingering a little longer on his ears then anything else, before noticing that he had offered his hand.

She gave him a slightly puzzled look. Was this one of those...handshake things she often seen others of Halloween performing? She raised one darkly tanned hand hesitantly, filing his name away for later and opening her mouth to give him her own, when a large, dark, and clawed hand wrapped itself around her own, a hand that was rough and calloused, but familiar, and her head turned, not needing to tilt upwards as her heels added the extra height needed to look Shik eye to eye.

Oh gods, was he trying to do that eye talking thing with her? If he couldn't understand her's, she certainly wasn't going to get his but...wait, was that a hint of jealousy she detected? Wait, had he just called her date?

A smirk graced Shaheen's features, as smug as any smirk could possibly be. She gave the man who had so sneakily approached from behind a small shake of her head, blonde hair brushing against her mostly bare chest, before she turned and replied to the boy.

"Shaheen, actual---" Oh wait....where had he gone! Turning in place while still letting Shik grip her hand, she caught sight of him as he slipped out of the tent, noticing others that were quickly following.

"Something is going on, it would seem." She murmured, turning her gaze back to Shik and with a mischievous glint to her eyes, leaned forward, brushing lips against his cheek before whispering in his ear "You're late, but you make it up to me later." She then pulled back, and threaded her fingers through his own. "Shall we go and see what all the excitement is about?"

(( Exiting with Shik after Medi's post yes >_> ))

"I got this song an' next one, then I'm back on," he said. bouncing around happily. "I should really grab somethin' t'eat next song, actually. I'm not gonna get the chance on stage. Y'hungry? They got some good stuff--I hear Xiu an' Gene did the spread!"

Foooood. It was a wonder the boil had actually put dancing first, really.

He was smooth with his lines. The flush on her cheeks never left, even as she tried to hide it behind her fingertips. Bao Yu rolled her shoulders in a light shrug to his question about where she wanted to go. "I've never been to one of these before, so... anywhere would be fine. I'm not even sure what to do here. I've done research, but it's mostly dancing and there's something about royalty that I do not understand." She clicked her tongue as she spoke, walking with him.

Her eyes never settled on one place too long, making a mental map of everything. It was very crowded and loud. The music nearly hurt her ears, but she wasn't used to it. Honestly, she was nervous. Even with a Stallion such as Salbei, she couldn't hide it too well.

It seemed no one paid her attention besides him, which was good. She vaguly wondered if she'd fine Lifen tonight. "Forgive me. I'm not used to being in this large of a crowd anymore. I spent so much time off the isle in small villages.."

"We been eatin'," Ben assured Roch with a grin as he patted his belly with clawed paws. "An' eatin' and eatin'. Lotta good food, too right - if y'ain't eaten yet, y'probably should soon, boil. Don't want y'passin' out on stage!"

Lark gave Roch a somewhat worried look as her dancing momentum slowed.

"Ben's right, y'should eat. N' drink, too, y'gotta stay hydrated."

The bite on his nose made his nose wrinkle up a bit. "It is all of the fair because you do it to me, too." He said back at her with a wide grin taking over his face in place of the pout.

Any wretching noises nearby were met with Kettil ever so eloquently telling them where to stick it with a hand gesture, but otherwise his eyes didn't leave Freya's face.

Let them be jealous, or sick. He didn't give a damn.
