"I think that would be just fine," Mastema responded to his wife, before taking note of Ratsu. It wasn't certain if Mastema recognized anything with the man, but there was no time to even respond after KB was announced and began running toward the group.
Thanatos hadn't even regarded Ratsu in the least, labeling him as completely irrelevant to his own being at the party. When KB was announced, Than turned back toward the entrance, his side to the main arch, and narrowed his eye. If anything, KB would be able to see the complete void of feeling in Than's glazed and blind eye. KB's presence got his attention, but Than seemed impassive to the man's childishness. "KB, don't be so naive." As KB approached, Than would hold his palm flat out toward the man, such that if KB attempted to glomp him he'd likely be stopped and end up on the floor. As important as his business with KB may have been, Than wasn't half as interested in KB as he was with the Twice Royal group. "Shouldn't you be flirting with the newer people instead of stroking dead allegiances?"

KB'd delicately glide his fingers near to Than's palm, outlining that which he could never touch. Well, at least not in a fashion he'd wanted. "Stroking allegiances? Now now Thanatos, that isn't party talk." KB'd wink to Than, the man should've known better to use such a word around KB. In any case KB backed off a step to give Thanatos his space, turning his glance to the twins. "I think Kaiori will be attending as well, with Tegral if I heard correctly." KB added helpfully.
So far his attention was entirely on Than, his long-lost would-be lover.

Even knowing the fingers were close to his, Than showed know discomfort or hesitation, only lowering his hand when he began to speak of other matters. Than's eye tended to wander a little, shifting to the other voices speaking in the room. A wry grin curled on Than's lips at KB's mention of Kaiori; Tegral had no meaning to him at the moment. A moment later, Than actually started laughing as if he'd found something completely ludicrous in KB's statement. "Is that right? Well then good, I'll be able to sever all useless ties in one sweep. I suppose now I just have to wait for the little witch to show up." Without another word to Ratsu or the others, Than started walking over to the concession table.

*Nana was getting ready to go and get something for herself and Mastema, but then Thanatos started to have at KB. The way he spoke about severing old ties seemed so cold and unlike his former self, it made Nana's heart drop a little. It was everything he had been through and what he had been doing these past few months. The boy had changed so much in the time Nana had known him. Then there was this KB fellow who was rather flamboyant, and upon first impressions seemed to swing one way more than the other. Then there was what he said about Kaiori, wasn't she his friend? Didn't he care about her? Nana had only met the woman once, and before that, at the thought of her death Thanatos seemed frightend leading Nana to try a spell which confirmed her life was not silenced, putting the boy at ease. Now however she was "the little witch"? What on earth was going on with Thanatos? Nana caught between following Thanatos or staying by Mastema's side, finally after some thought decided to follow the boy, it looked like he was getting his own drink. Mastema could easily deal with Ratsu and KB without her presence there, for the moment*

*Kaiori promptly dashes into the room. Her dress was still Teg’s choice with only a silver crown now dawning her head. Apollo would be appalled if he turned up and she wasn’t sporting her status symbol. Griffin would finally be able to tare himself away from Sai as he strode rudely over to his mother, Bell sighs and gives Sai a soft apology before trotting after her brother. One look at her son’s smoldering face almost brought tears to her eyes and she runs at him, swiftly embracing her little boy.*

Sai gently Takes bell's apology for them walking off , once Kai entered the room. Sai glances ofver kai's attire and thought about it and how she entered. Taking note of her wearing her crown and enterance was no royal behavior. With a slight sigh she took a final sip of her drink, as she walked over tot he stands for a refill of her drink, though nonalcholic it was tasteful and filling.
She notices one of the trio, of whom Kb had rushed up to was at the stands. She gently made her way to the drinks as Than seemed to be in her way. She smiled softly Excuse me Sir, mind scooting a bit so that I may refill my cup? She asked politely as he seemed rather discomforted with KB's appearance and wasn't in the mood to get envolved, she gotten herself in too much trouble so far and just wanted to enjoy the evening as much as she can alone as she came dateless.

It was a little lagged, but Kaiori would be introduced shortly after she rushed inside. "Introducing-- Lady Kaiori Night, of Twice Royal." The feel of the temple was far different than what it had been in the past, even Kaiori should be able to tell that. The building didn't resinate the same way, The Count had done a fine job filling young Griffin's request to change the place. Back out near the temple entrance Baptistain and Bertuccio would converse a little. "Koochya~ What the hell was that?", "Hmn, fast what ever she was.", "Hahahaha! Whooah~, looks like things are finally kicking up in there. He should be making his entrance soon ya?" Bertuccio would nod back to his comrad. "Hmn... soon." The festivities would continue now with a little more lively entertainment, a fire swallower.

Arriving at the table, Than would carefully run his right hand along the surface until he found a tray of biscuits, promptly taking two and nibbling on them for a moment. When Sai addressed him, he would raise his head, albeit not looking at her. In just that moment, Sai would easily be able to see that his left eye was completely sealed over and his right eye had a deep gray iris with a glazed over pupil; saying he was blind was redundant. Without making a word, and after several moments, Than began walking away from the table. It seemed Than didn't have the obligation to say 'pardon me.' But a moment after, Kaiori's belated introduction was made and he briefly let his eye wander to where the twins had been, but made no motion.
Mastema took note of Than's aloof and antisocial behavior, but the only concern he showed was in eye movement. Shortly after, he returned his attention to Ratsu. "Sorry, my name is Mastema, and this is my wife, Nana. You'll have to pardon my son's brashness. He's become a little more bold and a little less restricted as of late."

"Excuse me." KB opted to be polite as he sidestepped around Ratsu and Mastema, following after Thanatos. Nana was of little concern, nor was Sairys or the trio sobbing in the center of the room. KB was about to try and grab Than and deck him in the face when OOH! A fire-swallower!
Captivated, KB watched this event for a few moments, his head bobbing back and forth to the tempo of the evening's music. He seemed genuinely entertained by the antics of the fire-swallower, allowing the blind Thanatos to do whatver.

Sai Glanced at Than with a narrowed glanced as he raised his hand at her, though she noticed the blindness and greyness of his eyes, he didnt have to be rude, it was a party not a tavern or the Dojo for that manner. She just tossed her cup to the nearby trash can and walked over to her little window and leaned against the wall and watched the fire-breather. She was merely trying to be polite and was rather turned away.

Ratsu bowed in return to Mastema's words and said softly, Family can be a wonderful thing at times, even when causing heartache or a lack of understanding. It is a pleasure to meet you both. A soft smile played across the man's features as he said, I must admit that aside from envying the brashness of fledglings, part of my being here tonight was in hopes of seeing you. I was told to impart a message from my master, he has a long memory and wished me to say simply, 'Thank you for your past business, it was forever helpful in awakening from the long dream.' That done, please excuse me while I learn more of others in the area. Ratsu spoke the words calmly and without direct emotion, though his mouth pulled at the corners in a ghostly imitation of a smile at the word master, the rest was obviously a verbatum quote that out of context meant nothing to anyone other than the sender. Mastema could likely hear the message from dozens of people with little difference in what was said, yet in this case it was truly just a memory and a whim of the sender for it to be voiced as such. Ratsu smiled as he turned his attention to the others in the area and moved forward just slowly enough to hint at his age.

sai watched as the trio where than came from was standing around, though the party was rather boring, might as well familiarize herself with everyone and perhaps finally meet some poeple that are spoken about. she made her way to the trio as she noticed it was only the man standing there. the blind one and the woman had walked off. She walked past ratsu without a word, he seem to be of no interest to her, she walked up to mastema with a nice smile. I thought it might be nice to familiarize myself with the people here at the Party, I'm Sairys.... politely she presented her hand to mastema.

*Griffin patted his mother’s back numbly until she ceased her emotional display. Unlike his mother he knew now was not the time or place to show such emotions, so he would yell at her later about her actions. He takes her hand and grips it. Since he shared her memories he knew the horrors of this place and the one man inside of it right now. Funny, the party was so well done that it seemed impossible to believe that the walls had been dotted with blood and the halls covered in bodies. Thankfully his mother seemed blissfully unaffected by the place or Mas being present, for the time being she was happy to be with family. Bell smiles and fixes her mother’s crown and hair, remembering the first time her mother had done so to her as a little girl. Kaiori seems to notice suddenly the mood she had thrusted on to her poor lovely children, with that in mind she strolls away from the two with a sad smile. Kaiori, much like Sai, chooses to be alone for the moment, watching the party with silent cold eyes, her lips still trembling from time to time.*

Mastema seemed preoccupied with something for a moment, watching all of the odd things going on, before turning back to Ratsu. It wasn't really a surprising message, since many people had known Mastema in the past, albeit the good majority of them were rather underhanded and shady characters. Mastema did find it comically ironic that Sai was ignoring Ratsu in a somewhat similar way to that which Thanatos had observed to irritate her. Without much of any obvious feeling other than formality, he lightly took Sai's hand for a moment. "Mastema. Good evening." That was as familiar as Mas cared to get at the moment, releasing Sai's hand with not another action toward her.
Thanatos had moved away and taken up a spot back against the wall and arms crossed. If one didn't know he was blind, one might say he was observing in anticipation of something to happen.

*Nana would watch the brush off of Sai at the table before Thanatos moved on, she would likely apologise once she got back to Mastema's side. Heading over to the table Nana would get two small glasses of fuit punch, before heading over towards Thanatos. He may have been perfectly fine and sane, but the atittude was a bit much. Hopefully all courtesy wasn't out the window tonight. Nana would finally get to where Than was, being no more than a foot or so away, two glasses still in hand*
<_<
Thanatos..... are-- you alright?
