Karothdra was more than pleased to watch Shesha ‘do his thing’. She’d never been one for drama and games, usually she didn’t partake in anything, but there was just something so satisfying about seeing the looks they were giving each other. From horror to astonishment nothing amused Karothdra more at that very moment then seeing all the different expressions. She was surprised she had not played such a game earlier; it was turning out to be quite amusing and entertaining which was more than could be said about the party itself. She was definitely going to have to invite Shesha to more parties.
“I hear you’ve been playing body guard for a while, ever thought about continuing your progress in the army?”
“A little,” he said eyeing Shesha and Yacen.
“Eyes here,” Krothdra waved a hand in front of his face. “So I’ve been thinking, perhaps we could go and have a talk about your career if you’re interested.”
“Not right now, perhaps when I am off duty.”
“I don’t really have time, it has to be now.” Karothdra didn’t want to let him off the hook. “Shouldn’t take too long, just a few minutes.”
“Look, I said when I am off duty.” He’d raised his tone and Karothdra was sure it was because Yacen was dancing away with another man.
“Don’t you dare raise your voice at me,” Karothdra leaned in menacingly. “If I say you come, you come. You don’t question. Now are you going to come or not?” Karothdra stared him down and Jabon glanced between her and Yacen. “Come on…” She coaxed him before turning to look and see what Shesha was doing with Yacen.

To Shesha there really was nothing cuter at the moment then the look on Yacen's face. He looked like a little bird that had fallen from the nest, gazing back at Jabon whose attention was being taken away by Lady Karothdra. She was a lot of fun to play games with, wasn't she? She definitely had a way of livening up a party that might otherwise have been a yawn given that not a lot of big players were going to be at a party of this nature. "It will be alright, Yacen. I am sure you will be able to return to your 'friend' in due time. A single dance won't take all that long so you won't be parted forever." Not as though Shesha meant to steal him away all night, though he did have it in mind to not hand him straight back to Jabon but instead to the various girls he could see coming forward, looking for a chance at a dance themselves. It seemed that now that Jabon had been 'taken care of' that they were coming forward, eager to pounce. For being such well manner, well raised girls of high society they were sure reminding him of a pack of hungry janarim at the moment. Giving a smile Shesha said, "Try not to look as though you are in too much pain, I'd hate for you boy toy to think he needs to rescue you from my clutches or anything." The last thing he wanted was to get mussed up by the heavy hands of some muscle man. His words seemed to catch Yacen's attention, causing the young man to jerk his head around, starring at him with wide eyes, "M-My what?" Shesha grinned, feeling very much now like he was a perzi playing with the little lost bird, "Boy toy. You don't have to worry, I am not going to tell your gram or anything, there is nothing in it for me. So long as you put on a smile and enjoy our dance that is." The smile was one that looked a touch fake up close, but maybe from a distance it would look good for Jabon? Something that pleased him like nothing else as the dance continued. Once it was over though, and Shesha stepped back, giving Yacen a bow, the boy was already being dragged away by one of the more forward girls for another dance. Oh, this should be fun to watch he thought to himself, stepping back to observe for a moment as the rest of the 'pack' tried to establish who got Yacen next. Poor, poor boy... how Shesha didn't envy him for the rest of the night.

The two men were dancing and it was exactly the trigger that Karothdra needed for Jabon. The man was pissed. His hands clenched and unclenched as he stared down the two dancing. Karothdra had to keep a straight face if she didn’t want to give up their little charade.
“Alright,” he finally said stiffly. “Lead the way.”
Karothdra smiled and turned around to weave through the crowd into the next room. She picked out the best spot so she could keep an eye on what was going on in the other room before she settled and Jabon also settled. He had his back to the room but Karothdra had a full view. They spoke briefly, the Oban never going into detail on what she wanted. It was pretty easy to play mind games with Jabon, it was obvious he would never be more than a simple soldier if she could play with him this easily. He simply didn’t have the mental capacity to be greater.
When Yacen was whisked away by the woman flocking him, Karothdra put their conversation to an end. She hadn’t promised him anything and he had gotten little to no useful information from her either. Karothdra left him and went searching for Shesha awaiting to see Jabons reaction upon seeing how he would react to all the other girls. Karo found Shesha and smiled at him.
“Let’s see what happens, there comes in Jabon.” KArothdra pointed at him with her chin. This kind of drama was hilarious.

Tasinei Shesha gave a smile when Karothdra reappeared with the soldier that she'd led off. The man wasn't in a good mood, was he? A mood that seemed to have been made worse when he noticed that poor Yacen was caught up in the middle a crowd of women. Turning to look over to Lady Karothdra he gave a grin, "The dance was quite enjoyable, but I think even more enjoyable was handing the poor little Yacen over to the hungry pack of janarim that are the lady party goers." He said to her after the space between them had closed to one in which he wouldn't have to shout. He was happy to one more be standing alongside her, able to enjoy the show that was now happening. Poor Jabon, there was really little that he could do at the moment but pace like a caged perzi. He was watching the dancing, obviously wanting to break it up so he could 'save' Yacen from being dragged around by the women, but such a thing was now out of his hands. He'd been doing well all night to 'protect' him from exactly what was happening now, but Karothdra and Shesha had ruined those attempts. Now that they had broken the pair up it allowed the 'pack' to move in, and Shesha found the situation rather amusing. Leaning against the wall the two of them were standing in front of he turned to look at Karothdra, "I have a feeling that poor Jabon is going to spend the night watching Yacen dance. I almost feel sorry for him as one of his station would never be allowed to get a dance with Yacen himself." At least not at a party like this one, but no matter, not his problem. He wasn't about to risk his own precious standing just to help some random soldier get to dance with his secret lover. Shesha wasn't nearly so altruistic as all of that. "So, how was the chat that you had with him? He have anything interesting to say or was he too eager to get back to his master to give you his attention?" Shesha asked, wondering if she'd heard anything interesting from Jabon or if it was just a case of luring him away as part of the game. He was good either way since they got to watch the poor, love struck fool as he fretted over Yacen. A show made even better when one of the girls was daring enough to give Yacen a kiss on the cheek, something likely only to make the other girls act even more aggressively themselves.

“The man’s a complete idiot,” Karothdra muttered rolling her eyes. The fun was gone now; their game had come to an end. “If their secret was a secret before, it no longer is.” A few people were whispering and pointing to Jabon as they glanced between him and Yacen. “I think you did his grandmother a great service, look how pleased she looks with herself over there.” Indeed the woman was all smiles as she watched the women swarming over her grandson. If the rumors were starting she was going to end them just as easily as they’d began.
“Well I hope he does, if he knows what’s good for him he’ll let it rest.” She didn’t think the grand mother would enjoy Jabon dragging Yacen away in front of everyone. “No, he was an air head. Wouldn’t even make a good soldier if you ask me.” Karothdra sighed softly and pushed herself off the wall. “Well I think I’ve had enough for one night. It was fun Shesha but I will be going. Until next time!” She inclined her head at him with a grin before melting into the crowd to find the door. She’d spent more than enough time in the party.

Shesha couldn't help but to laugh, "Well, not everyone is cut out for the games played at such parties." He said, feeling that Jabon might have his uses but it was pretty certain that they weren't going to be that of a bodyguard for all that much longer. Yacen's grandmother had gotten what she wanted, her grandson dancing with actual women, and here was to hoping that the part he played in it was truly recognized. A gift would be more then acceptable though a good word from her would be even more useful to him. He wanted to continue with his rise in power and making friends with such people would only aid him in reaching his goal. Not that Shesha himself knew exactly how high he was aiming presently, so the more 'friends' he made the better.
"Yes, but does he know what's good for him?" Or would he want to try to reach for more then he'd earned? Given that Lady Karothdra saw him as an 'airhead' t was unlikely that he really understood his place, something that was likely to get him into a lot of trouble down the line. Not that it was really his problem, it was the problem of the 'airhead' himself.
Turning to look at Lady Karothdra he gave a soft sigh, "That's a shame, you really did make this party a lot more fun. I will definitely miss your company, Lady Karothdra." He said, lifting a hand to wave after her as she disappeared into the crowd. He'd be here a while longer, at least until Lady Alhana wanted to leave, so best that he found himself something else interesting to do. Not that he felt anything was going to top that last game he thought to himself as he moved forward to mingle.
