(( Sand 'n' Stuff -> Storytime / Sand 'n' Stuff -> Bonfire [storytime nonparticipant ))
Lucia continued to all but ignore Yuurei as she floated up to her standing height and went to the bonfire. The embers sparking into the air made the whole beach look really pretty. She sat down, close enough to hear everyone telling the story, but far enough away that she was not next to anyone. The orange blaze made her face and hair glow.
She had hoped to do the event with Rivener and without him, it seemed like a bad idea to do this one. She didn't want to share her ideas out loud with anyone. She sat there quietly until she heard Melisande crying out for Zavier.
Lucia floated up. "You mean Zave? He's not here. This is that last event . . . the story game thing. Aren't you signed up for it?"
Yuurei followed behind Lucia, used to their not talking. She stared at the large fire looking at all the shapes she could possibly make out from the shifting flames. As Lucia sat down, Yuurei continued walking until she was further away -- close enough to watch Lucia, but far enough away to not be yelled at.
As Lucia rose up to speak to the pretty blonde raevan, Yuurei smiled. Lucia was getting along with someone at least.

Storytime Bonfire
Melisande paused, hearing Zavier's name echo back at her. Lucia, the pretty dark haired Raevan, was asking her questions...but Melisande couldn't focus. She kept seeing Zave, spread out across the sand! He had just been here...why wasn't he here any more? What had happened? With one hand, she reached out for Lucia, fingertips falling just an inch short of the Frei's pale skin.
"I want to find him. He got hurt! Or...sleepy." In truth, Pasha wasn't sure which. She sounded a bit sleepy and confused herself, and gazed up at Lucia with wide blue eyes. If only she wasn't so full of pie, she could float higher and take a look around!
Aki heard only the tail end of the commotion, and sighed...holding the wet washcloth away from her forehead with two fingers. It took her a moment to get back to her feet, one of the thin straps of her gold bikini sliding precariously down her shoulder. What was Melisande mewling about now?!

Lucia's brow wrinkled at what Melisande was saying. Zave got hurt? But she had taught him how to lean back right. He didn't float into the bar again, did he? She pictured the first time that Zave had tried to go under the bar and had floated directly into it.
She focused on Pasha's words. He was hurt or sleepy. Okay. She looked directly into Pasha's eyes trying to calm her down. "What happened to Zave?" Lucia vaguely realized that Pasha was upset and wouldn't be much help.
"Why don't we go ask Dr. Kyou? I think he's over at the bar." Without waiting for an answer, Lucia grabbed Pasha's wrist (not too gently -- but not realizing she might hurt the blonde raevan with her grip) and half pulled the older Raevan with her to the bar.
When she saw Kyou still behind the bar she stopped and floated right in front of him. "Pasha and me want to know about Zave."

Once Niksia had settled her scarf around her shoulders she made her way to the bonfire to listen to the start of the story. She stood in the growing darkness long enough to catch the last few lines. A little smile alighted on her pale face as she listened closely to what seemed to the be the last line so far.
"He had massive armies of metal and iron so deadly that no one could stand in their way..."
'But after quite some time, with little to challenge his forces, it was easy to let his defences down...'
Niksia sat down at the bonfire then, letting her bare legs curl before her so they could be warmed by the glowing heat. Stray locks of red hair were tucked behind her ears as she smiled shyly at the others gathered around for the story.

What had happened?! "He was lying down? On the sand? Now he's gone!" Pasha winced as she trailed along behind Lucia, but it could have been the memory, and not the grip. As they approached the bar, Melisande pressed sidelong against Lucia's arm, curling her free hand around it as well. Talking to Kyou was a good idea...thankfully Lucia was smart!
"Please and thank you." She spoke hurriedly after the black haired Raevan, and tried her best to give Kyou a smile. Melisande still looked a bit rattled though, strands pulled loose from her blond ponytail and petals curling in the heat.
Aki sighed, watching Pasha cling to Lucia. Something about Zave? Sliding the strap back up onto her shoulder, she brushed the sand off her backside. For now, she'd just watch. After all, she didn't know where Zavier had gone either. No point jumping in with empty comforts!

Zavier's condition had Kyou worried, it seems like Raevans could get heat strokes too. Frowning his brows in worry, he watched as Tsu carried Zavier and left the beach. Perhaps he could check in on Zave later when he gets home. Sighing, he put down the glass he was rubbing on with a cloth as the whole event unraveled in front of his eyes, the glass shone perfectly under the setting sunlight now. The crowd had somewhat dispersed too.
It is then that he saw 2 familiar figures approaching him. "Zave?" He repeated Lucia's last word, mostly unintentionally. He casted a worried look at Melisande, based on her expression, she must be worried sick too. He must at least make her feel better.
"Zavier was just not feeling well from the heat." he explained, "Tsu took him back home, but don't worry, he'll be fine soon. I promise." he added, smiling gently more at Meli than to Lucia, hoping that will give her some reassurance.
Lazarus was worried too, but at least he know that Zave will be in good hands, what with Tsu as his guardian. He didn't hear what Zave said very clearly though, but Zave definitely mentioned his name before he passed out. What did he talked about me? Lazarus had to wonder. He was completely in his own thoughts as he sip on the drink Kyou made him. It was delicious! Though not the same taste as the pie, but it was similar to the drink he drank earlier with Tariel.

Turning back to Isi, a loving smile adorning her features still, Namini laughed softly before shaking her head, "I wasn't here for the Valentine's event, though I would have give you a flower or something if I was to thank you for before. Remember? For the advice you gave me last time we met. It was last summer's event, silly goose. Ice cream, falling on my butt, my terribly pathetic life story? Hahaha, you were so kind to me and I really must thank you properly one day."
She was hoping to lighten the tension among the teens but it seemed to only increase with Isi's acknowledgment of Lillian. Namini could tell trouble was a brewing and yet she felt somewhat obligated to remain seated, as if removing herself from the scene would cause some kind of bloodshed or intense drama. Stiffening herself, her eyes fixated themselves on her knees, flickering outwards occasionally at either Isi or Lillian, though if her attention landed on the girl it didn't stay long. Something about her was..intimidating? But she looked so gentle! Perhaps it was Namini's caring heart taking place of her cautious mind again, only looking to see the best in people. If only one of them would leave, maybe then Namini could play detective and get to the bottom of this disturbing aura.
'At least they aren't duking it out like Josh and David did...yet,' she thought worriedly.

Lucia listened thoughtfully to Kyou's explanation. She didn't see Zave pass out, so she really didn't have cause to worry. At Kyou's reassuring tone, she looked at Pasha and her eyes smiled at the blonde, shining purple in the darkness with the bar's light reflecting on them.
"Maybe we can visit him soon and make sure he's okay?" she suggested to her floating appendage. She looked over to a raevan she had yet to meet and smiled coyly at him. He looked vaguely worried, but seemed to be calmed a bit by his drink.
Lucia thought for a moment and then smiled at Kyou. "Can we have two of those?" She pointed at Lazarus's drink and stared thoughtfully at the strange raevan, hoping to meet him as well, but unsure of how to begin talking. Pasha and Rivener both came up to her. Lucretia was introduced by Aki and Roux . . . well . . . yeah. She had a reason to go over to Zave, but she had no real reason to talk to this stranger.
Yuurei watched Lucia up at the bar. She seemed to be helping the blonde raevan well enough. As Lucia pointed plainly at the red and white raevan's drink Yuurei cringed inwardly. Lucia didn't understand the concept of money at all yet, but the young woman made a mental note to go up to the bar after Lucia returned and pay for any drinks she ordered.

Isi felt a hot angry blush bloom on his cheeks. He got the day wrong! It was the Summer Event, not the Valentine's event...Well, that was nearly a whole year ago. Who could blame him? He nodded his head and forced a smile, something that clearly said he was unsure what to do now that he was stuck in this clearly...difficult situation.
"Yes, I remember that...Jeez, that was a long time ago," Isi said, trying to pick his words carefully, because he felt like he was walking on dangerous ground...Like that one part in Indiana Jones the Last Crusade where the ground was false. What else was he do to between a girl he hardly knew and a girl that he never got along with? Isikoro shuddered and he started to slide off his chair and onto his feet. He wanted to make it over to the story place near the bonfire that had been lit. "But seriously, you don't have to thank me for it. It's just nice knowing I did some good." He glanced cautiously at Lillian and gave her a narrow of his brows.

Melisande looked from Kyou'd smile to Lucia's shining eyes, and her grip on the Raevan's arms relaxed slowly. As she looked back to Kyou, her eyes held sweet trust, despite her lingering worry. If the doctor said it, she would believe it.
Nonetheless, she gazed up at Lucia as the girl made her offer. "Visit? Yes! Let's visit. Um...thank you." Speaking in a lttle voice, Melisande leaned forward far enough to give the black haired Raevan a tiny kiss on her cheek. "You're very nice." At the mention of drinks, Melisande finally let her hands drop...giving Lucia some space. A drink sounded nice!
Aki took a step back, and smiled wryly to herself. She'd gotten up for nothing! Stretching a bit, ignoring her looming headache, she glanced around for Roux or Lucretia. As selfish as it was, it was a bit too hot, and their company would be appreciated!
Instead, Aki spotted the bonfire, and overheard distant laughter at one of the new lines of the story. Pasha had signed up for that event, as well...but considering the girl's distress (and her amazing winning streak!) Aki didn't see any problem with her sitting out. It wouldn't be much longer before people were headed home, after all!

Lillian’s eyes graced over Namini after the girl presented herself to her in an easygoing sweet fashion. Slowly she extended her hand to meet the other girl’s and shook it as she spoke, “Lillian Maevin. It’s nice to meet you, although…” The gears in her mind turned as Lillian tried to remember exactly where she had come across the teenager before. “I think we’ve met once before. Summer fest last year ring a bell?” Surely that had to have been the place that she had earlier met the girl. Afterall, the bubbly giggle that Namini possessed was a hard thing not to forget.
Turning her attention back to the lad Lillian raised both her hands up infront of her as though it protected her against the youth’s scowling eyes. As she had predicted Isi was still a grouch whose mental skin was as fragile as a dragonfly’s wing.
“Whoa now, no reason to get so defensive, Isi.” She replied, her lips now tugged into a smirk. Yet the reaction had a stronger chance of heightening the boys anger rather than calming it. Yet this didn’t stop the young lady from tugging at his patience.
She waited a few moments, allowing the two to share a short chat before taking their glances as go-ahead. Although both had just revealed they weren’t together as a pair, she still found herself walking along that topic. For a moment she shared her attention with Kaurii before looking back at Isi, the boy she never acted herself around. “I was simply going to ask if you had managed to get yourself girlfriend since the last time I saw you. You two seemed rather comfortable…yet after listening, it seems I was wrong. But how have you been Isi? Have any rays of sunshine manage to get through you enough to make you smile? You’re wearing the same scowl I saw you with on New Years Eve.”
