"While I am grateful for your concern I do believe I know what I am doing," Seravee uttered as she realized there was no way she could get up without having to go through Nathaniel. Growing slightly exasperated at her situation she gave up on trying to stand. She relaxed back on the couch and summoned a ball of water at the palm of her hand which she then used to reach another drink without so much as moving her fingers. If this boy wouldn't let her get up then it was no trouble to obtain her beloved alcohol this way. She opened the beverage and continued drinking, still refusing to humor the boy any longer. "You know, even if your mother doesn't have the heart to hurt you doesn't mean I don't," she smirked, "why are you even so persistent with me? Shouldn't you go tend to your all the other lovely guests? You are the host afterall."

"Oh, I find no reason to ever worry as Lockon is always nearby. He may seem like a careless fool but he is actually rather protective and undeniably reliable." She had noticed that he was still standing by a pillar close by keeping an eye on her as usual while also observing everyone else. He was rather peculiar in that he often preferred to quietly watch events unfold as a spectator yet rarely took any part in any of them. "I do believe I have quite a few years of drinking experience under my belt as well so do trust when I say I will be alright. I come to these events for the sake of my cousin, and I do enjoy myself and believe that whether I do it drunk or not is none of anyone's concern." She summoned for another beer and realizing she was being rather harsh on the boy she set it down by a side table and turned to look at him. She gently placed one hand on his knee and once again reassured him that everything was fine. Her eyes shone surprisingly innocently and her smile was simple yet genuine - a rare sight as she was often cold and expressionless. She didn't need anyone worrying about her; she had enough of that from Lockon.

 ~Lilly Greywind~After fixing her mistake, Lilly snatched a few snacks and sat in the nearby corner. She smirked, as Nathaniel tried to no avail to hit on Seravee. She popped a handful of fruit in her mouth and shook her head, before standing up and walking out of the ballroom.

N A T H A N I E L ♦ R E I D « The Charming Prince » He followed her eye and noticed the male standing behind a pillar, evidently eyeing them. Nathaniel looked up as he felt a soft hand on his knee. The smile on her face seemed to have brightened up her entire aura. It made her look absolutely gorgeous, or so he thought so. He had to bit his tongue so that he wouldn't suddenly gush out saying something unintelligent like, "ohh pretty." Or something of the sort. Instead he stood up, put his beer can down and held out a hand to her. "If you don't mind, I'd be honoured to share the dance floor with you before you go limp from alcohol." He chuckled and said, "Drunk dancers are amusing, but hard to dance with."

Uncertain of how to react to the sudden request Seravee turned to look at her cousin. Noone else seemed to be dancing and this was potentially inappropriate as this was her friend's son, yet denying him the request would be disrespectful. Lockon simply nodded and gestured for her to go along. 'I wonder what he is thinking.' Snapping out of it she took his hand. "I will only do this one; after this you must go entertain the others. It is your duty as host." She really felt awkward about the whole situation and just wanted to go on drinking alone. 'Lockon must be up to something. Fine, if he wishes to use me in his little experiments so be it. Not like I care anyways.'

N A T H A N I E L ♦ R E I D « The Charming Prince » He smirked slightly and then noticed her demand. He grinned charmingly and said, "Of course. One guest at a time." He pulled her onto the dancefloor as a tad bit of a slower song played. Nathaniel found it easier to dance to slow songs than upbeat ones. He cautiously placed one hand gently on her hip while still holding her other hand. He lead her into the dance and asked her as they swayed to the beat, "How long have you known mom for?"

"Long enough. I guess it's our fault for not showing ourselves around more often, but keep in mind we have been serving this kingdom for quite a while." She and Lockon always worked alone in their temple and only held council in private with her highness so it wasn't a surprise that this young boy wasn't too aware of their existence. "Anything else you need to know?" Nathaniel was rather bold and had somehow intrigued her at this point, but it might have been the small amount of alcohol she drank sinking in. 'I will be drunk at one point or another so nothing that happens will matter anyways, might as well enjoy it,' she thought as she let herself fall in rhythm to the music.

N A T H A N I E L ♦ R E I D « The Charming Prince » Nathaniel arched an eyebrow at this. This quite interested him, the reasoning behind her not being around his mother much. "Why so?" He asked, spinning them around quickly to avoid bumping into another pair of dancers. "I can tell that you dislike showing yourself, but Lockon doesn't seem too shy." He noticed her relax a bit more, letting herself get in touch with the music. He grinned, happy to see her enjoying herself some more. He had promised her that he'd go over to some of the other guests, but he quite liked her company. Even so, he looked up for a small moment to spot the Onyx twins seeming quite quiet, they'd be his next target. He then looked down, looking at her again.

Ace shrugged her shoulders and raised her hands into the air. "Well, I guess you will learn if it is a dream or not sooner or later." She gave Inessa a mischievous smile, "so you might as well enjoy it while you can. Go ahead and just pa~~~rty. >w<" Ace twirled around and around and went into the center of the room. She ended up getting wrapped up in the rope and falling over. "Derp. o3o"

"Lockon is...unique. Noone can ever really know what he is thinking or what he is up to. Even I have learned to respect him." Her statement seemed to trail off and fade as she looked over to find that Lockon had disappeared. 'Great, he is at it now.'
"I am not good with people, and we are rarely ever allowed to leave our station so that's all there is to me really." Seravee was never one to divulge too much and this conversation wouldn't end well with alcohol already present in her system. Though she was already a seasoned drinking veteran the speeds in which she drank still deemed her a lightweight. "Why are you so interested in hanging with me? Isn't there other girls who would appreciate your presence more?"

N A T H A N I E L ♦ R E I D « The Charming Prince » He followed her gaze again to see that her cousin had disappeared. It was quite an interesting fellow. He chuckled softly when she described herself like an anti-social hermit. He grinned down at the short girl. "I'm almost positive that there are many other girls who would appreciate my presence, unlike you. That's what interests me, not many girls shun my presence or try to shoo me away." He bit his lip thinking of the phrase, once he found it he grinned and said, "As if you're playing hard to get." He smirked playfully, a flirtatious air to him now. "But of course, you wouldn't do that. You don't actually want my company. .. Do you?"

"Quite frankly, no. There is no point in sugar-coating it. I just wanted to end this and keep drinking. I know your type, young prince," she muttered coyly. As the song started to slow towards its end she began attempting to pull away. "Now, if you will excuse me, I will go back to my original intent. Have fun picking up whoever you can find, but I can assure you it won't be me." The smile and bright demeanor vanished from her face as the usual cold stare took its place once again.

N A T H A N I E L ♦ R E I D « The Charming Prince » The conversation had completely turned. His little attempt at flirting had completely thrown her mood off and it was evident. He couldn't help but smirk when she mentioned that she knew his type. He was quite known for being quite a bit of a player/flirt. He let go of her gently and merely bowed to her, and holding one of her hands, kissed the top of it. "May you enjoy the rest of the party. And please do take care." He said softly.

"I plan on it, and thank you." This little experience had proven rather interesting and now she had more reason to look forward to getting drunk. She summoned another beer and as she opened it jokingly said, "you know where to find me if you get bored with everyone else." With this she walked up to him and lightly kissed his cheek. Being alone with Lockon for so long meant she wasn't accustomed to the formalities of everyone else in the kingdom and this was the way she was used to saying farewell. She held the kiss for possibly a little longer than she should have and then turned to walk away.
