[Shun Kuroda - Table 3 - Being grumpy]

And just like that, the chaos stopped as soldiers dropped in. Shun gritted his teeth lightly, watching this all happen. Now all that was left was a giant mess of what used to be the banquet. His gaze drifted towards Danny, who had at least had enough sense to drop it while the Garrison was here. Even so, he still was not very happy with her.

He shook his head, then wiped off some food bits that covered him.

"What a mess," he muttered, walking away from the girl and the others in the immediate area. He needed to clear his head.

The sniffling woman looked up as Alec approached her, one of her hands already lifted and running along the bottom lid to catch a few of the falling tears. Making only brief, embarrassed eye contact with him, she gave a curt nod, and fussed with smoothing out her already pristine outfit. His kindness wasn't expected, though, and caused her to look up to him again with a faint hint of awe and apprection flickering through her hazel orbs. Clearing her throat softly again, she faintly murmured a, "Thank you.." that was much more gentle than the shouting and order barking she'd been doing the entire day.

[Alec Scott | Table 4 | Get to work]

"Its no problem really.." His grey-blue eyes studied her, searching her hurt expression. The brief eye contact made him uncomfortable but he could at least be respectful and look back no matter how brief it was. Who could blame her being upset? Alec was glad he'd at least given her some kind of peace of mind, no matter how small. He'd have offered her a napkin or something, but she had her tears handled it seemed. "Thanks again for the event." The teen before jerking his thumb over his shoulder. "I'm going to get to work, give me a holler if you need anything yea?" He extended even if he was half certain she wouldn't. At least he'd offered.

Alec nodded to her, mumbling a polite excuse me before he stepped away from her. It wasn't like the red head went far, but some one had to say something to her. Standing front and center stage with no backup sounded rotten to him anyway. Eyeing some of the Garrison officers who were still busy, he half wondered if the woman had been serious about her offer.

After excusing himself, Alec moved over by the blonde he vaguely recognized and waved at Axel smiling just a bit. "Hey, you here to help out too?" The younger boy asked as he lifted a chair up, placing it on the fleshly wiped down table. While it was a bit of a state the obvious remark but he gave the other boy a small smile, glad to see not everyone had just run off the moment they could. "I think we met the other day?" While they hadn't shared a table together now that everything had been uprooted it seemed a good time to speak to some of the other guests. As he talked, he gathered up plate bits tossing it in the trash making a face at a smashed piece of what looked like roast beef.

[Rikki Synkka | Table 2 | Blushing ]

Rikki had a handful of peas when the garrison came marching in, which he promptly slapped into a bowl behind him. It might have looked less suspicious had he put it in the right bowl, and not the mashed potatoes bowl.

He watched with wide eyes as thugs were round up or chased off, and didn't move to do anything until Danny was talking to him and brushing muck off his face. His ears may have gone a little pink. "You've got gravy everywhere," he said, chuckling. They were all pretty gross, really.

"Think we should help clean?"

[Alec Scott | Table 4 | Rather Grateful and Busy]

Looking up when he heard a familiar voice, the younger beamed at Cyril remembering their friendly introduction just a few days previous. It had been a wildly competitive (yet brief) game that helped the pair bond over the simple activity. His friend couldn't have shown up at a better time. "Hey!" The other boy waved at the other, pleased when he offered to jump in.

"Yea sure, that sounds great! Grab that over there." Whatever that was had been pretty vague. There was lots of this and that's still needing to be pick up. "Thanks by the way Cyril. Good to see you again, how are you?" Alec was busying himself, crawling around cleaning making a face at the mess as he went. Hearing Danny refuse and giggling about helping made him sigh as he pushed his rag over a spot..

He didn't have it in him to just brush this off and do nothing. Alec defiantly would need to wash up after this. Ugh.

[[Axel Halle | Table 1 | Still cleaning]]

Axel raised his head to smile at Alec. He was pretty sure he recognized the other from the goldfish booth. "Hey, thanks for the help." He scooped up some more of the smashed roast beef, helping Alec clear the table. Alec was the one who'd comforted the event planner, wasn't he? That was nice of him. Maybe there were a few nice people at the feast after all, not just thieves and idiots. "It was nice of you to talk to the planner. She looked upset."

He nodded to the newcomer--Cyril, according to Axel--when he came up to help clean as well. "Thanks. I'm Axel." So there were at least two nice people at the feast. Good to know.

Axel tossed some more ruined food into the trash. It was so mixed up it was impossible to tell what it was. Just brown lumps at this point. "So how are you guys doing at the goldfish thing? I gave the goldfish I won to my sister, only she didn't want it. So now I'm stuck with it."

[Farvardin Wyman | Table 4 | Talking to party planner and cleaning up]

Surprise colored Farvardin's face as the thugs began to flee as the Garrison members appeared. Hearing what their leader said about putting in a good word for any who tried to join made her think. She planned to one day join; after all she wanted to become part of the Scouting Legion. Maybe when she finally joined the military she would talk to this lady about her promise.

Farvardin watched as Alec went over to the party planner and comforted her some. His sort of question had her nod back to him. She walked over to the party planner herself. "Well even with all that happened this feast was excellent. Some of the best food I ever had. Thank you so much for helping to put it together." She said to her before turning to go help Alec.

She walked over to Alec was and began to help clean up. She picked up plates that weren't broken and set them down on a nearby table. She noticed he was talking to two guys as they helped cleaned up. "Friends of yours Alec?" She asked.

[Cyril Lor | Table 3 | Cleaning and introducing himself]

Cyril nodded back at Axel. "No problem, Name's Cyril." He said. Cyril helped Axel toss more of the food into the trash. It was a rather nasty job. He looked as Alec and Farvardin conforted the women. Cyril smiled at the heartwarming scene before him. He wish he could say something himself but alas with Cyril's misguided ways he didn't know how to word it. As Fervardin walked over she asked Alec if him and Axel we're friends of his. Alec did a good job with the introduction. He gave Fervardin a warm smile. Cyril didn't say much although he was happy to be meeting new people. "At least you guys helped console the hardworking woman, that was the right thing to do...." he said to Fervardin and Alec. As the fishing game was brought up Cyril looked at Axel with wide eyes. "You actually caught a fish!?" He said in a surprised tone.
