"Lo Lenorre, lo Clemmie," Reid greeted formally with a nod to each, before tilting his head at Lenore, "Reid's a Mishap, not'a bug." Bugs were tiny and often much better fliers than he was anyway.
Chao strolled around, not quite wanting to intrude on any of the conversations, besides the ballroom was more than big enough to explore for a bit in peace.

Poe stood on his back legs and placed his front feet on the stroller. He reached forward and gave Curly Hair a quick lick, his tail wagging ferociously. He really liked Curly Hair.
"Awk!"
"Reid 's Ike's best friend," Ike said, and then peered to Lenore, "Best boy friend."
Liam slowly sidled over to Chao as quietly as possible.
"Allo, luv," he smiled, trying to act casual.

Following Rabid's upward gaze, Julian cocked his head to one side, not understanding.
"Wazzat?"
Rijan, after all, didn't celebrate Christmas. The little niceties were totally lost on him.
Feeling faintly embarrassed, Lenore hunched her shoulders in apology.
"Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't know." Ditching the rest of her brownie, she tried to think of something intelligent to say.
"Mum says that when I was a baby, I tried to eat bugs all the time." She glanced at Reid quickly.
"Not that I'd eat you, Reid - I'm not that big a fan of eating stuff like that," she said quickly. Nodding as he notified her he was, in fact, not a bug, Lenore felt a bit like crawling under the buffet table to hide.
Sheesh, I'm no good at small talk!
Sadako nodded eagerly, sweeping Skelly a deep curtsy.
"You lead," she said eagerly, though wondering how on earth she'd be able to dance gracefully when he was quite a bit taller.

"William." Chin repeated, blinking. No, she didn't remember the oh-so-handsome stranger mentioning his name, but that's who it had to be, right? They did look kind of alike. "I...think so..." she said uncertaintly. "We met outside. If I've got the right person, I mean...how come?"

"No reason," Liam smiled to the girl before turning back to Chao.
She told him where to find us.
"Reid can fly like Len," Ike grinned broadly.
Skelly grinned and began to lead Sadako around the dance floor. He went slowly, only twirling her every once and a while. He didn't want anyone falling.
"Muaha," Rabid grinned. She'd had a feeling he wouldn't know what it was, "Well, you see, that's mistletoe. You hang it in doorways and such. If you meet someone standing under it, you do this." She leaned forward and gave hima quick peck on the lips before standing back up and laughing a bit maniacally and blushing.

Reid nodded in agreement with Ike and giggled, not at all distrurbed at the idea of Lenore eating bugs, though the assurance that she had no intention of eating him was nice, "Reid'd prob'ly tast' bad. N'Len can fly?" he asked, interest perked as he finally noticed her wings.
Chao turned at the greeting and smiled, "Liam!" she immediately pounced on him in a hug, the teen felt festive and clingy today, she blamed the dress. "How're you?"

Had Haze understood the flow of magic in Gaia she'd have done some gesturemancy to amuse herself until she found an appropriate excuse to leave. Despite her boredom, Haze took social graces seriously and had no intention to give others the impression that she was uncivilized. Though Yrast knows she couldn't say the same for some of the people present.
From the corner of her eyes she noticed one lone woman strolling around. Finally! Someone who didn't know everyone. Haze set a pleasant smile on her face and tried to catch Chao's attention. Until the teen launched herself onto Liam.
"Why did I even bother?" she softly whined with a roll of her eyes.
Retta giggled at the lick, she didn't dare do this to Crimson, fearing she'd squish the puff. But Poe looked pretty sturdy and tough, so she risked it and wrapped her arms around his neck in a warm hug. She felt warm and fuzzy inside, and hoped to make him feel the same.
((not really her power, just trying to be as cute and adorable as Haze is annoying and self-centered XD))

Liam gasp at the hug and blushed brightly.
"Hi, Chao," he laughed slightly, "How've you been?"
"Yuh," Ike said, "Reid tackle Ike frm th'air lots."
Clemmie giggled slightly. The idea of Reid tackling her brother was quite amusing.
Poe nuzzled Curly Hair's chest. She was cute and nice and such. He tried to remember that. His tail began wagging so very fast, it stayed mostly still. He stretched his wings out as far as they would go.
"Awk!"

Deeply pleased she hadn't killed the conversation, Lenore smiled at the acceptance and pointed at Reid's belly in fascination.
"How come you glow?" she asked, innocently curious.
She snerked at the idea of air-tackling, too. That sounded like a fun idea...
To his credit, Julian neither burst into flame nor fainted.
"Oh. Okay." he spluttered.
Why can't I speak in full sentences?! Make conversation! Conversation!
"Wanna dance?"
Oh, sweet mother of God in heaven.
Crow, feeling a little out of the loop now that everyone was in conversation, wandered over to Haze a little hesitantly.
"Um, hi," she said shyly, waving.

Chao grinned and pushed a few errant strands of hair out of her eyes, "I've been well! How're the holidays treating you?"
Reid looked a bit embarassed at the mention of air tackling but smiled all the same, "Ike mak's a good lan'in pad. Soft n'squishee."
Looking down the toddler shrugged, he'd never really understood the glowing either, just that he did it, "'unno, Reid's jus alw'ys glow'd."

"LIAM!" Rabid was vaguely disappointed that Julian didn't suddenly ignite. She'd have to try harder next time.
"Nyahuh? What?"
"MUSIC!"
"Huh? Oh! Music! Yeah! Okay!" Liam discreetly fooled with his control panel and the room was suddenly engulfed in sound of the slow-ish Vavvian variety, "I'm doin' alright, Chao. This is m'first holiday, after all."
"Thanks," Rabid said and peered up to Julian, an eyebrow raised "Sure. Why not?"
Ah, dancing. After 14 years, she was fairly certain that she would do alright.
Ike giggled.
"Ike's fuzz makes landin's soft," he grinned and peered at Reid, "Innit wen Reid happy?"

Oh thank Yrast, someone has taken mercy on Haze.
"Greetings, you may join me." She greeted as warmly as she was capable of, while gesturing to an empty chair.
Retta was sorely tempted to keep Poe for herself, but she remembered he came with others. And Crimson might not like him, but she highly doubted that. Poe was such a darling thing.
She clapped as he displayed his wings, and in response she spread her arms in an attempt to mimic him.

Poe scampered over to Curly Hair's Watcher suddenly.
"Awk? AWK!" he gestured to Curly Hair with his tail and then to White One and Pointy Ears, "AWWWWWWWWWK"?!"
"Psh. What kind of Man makes the chick lead?" Rabid said jokingly and began leading Julian rather quickly around the floor. It felt strange to have to take the male part, her arms awkwardly placed on Julian's shoulder and hip. Vavvian dancing wasn't very hard to do, but it was wholly flashy...which meant it was quite fun, "Try to keep up!"

((Uh, what does Poe mean by water? O_o
edit: nevermind, I think I got it XD))
Haze just stared at Poe, not even the slightest hint of understanding flickered in her eyes. Whatever the little creature wanted, apparently it had something to do with the two children. Did it want to go back to them?
"Certainly, by all means." she answered off handedly.
Retta blinked in confusion, what was Poe tyring to do?
