A twisted grin had spread across Spina's face as she watched the Nox show herself to the Sun Court. It had barely taken a few seconds till the Moon Court started to take their leave, it was hard to. The looks on Sun Courts faces only made her want to stay. She put ne hand on her hip and used the other to toss her mask to the side. Then she looked in the dirction the others had left, she grinned and let her cape slid off, right as it hit the ground she to had teleported away.
She then found herself nearby to Feles, Lupinus and Aranea. She watched Feles and the girl with a grin then made her way towards them, eyeing the large wolves with slight interest.

Lupinus hurried toward Feles, shrugging off the more awkward bits of his costume, and removing his mask as he walked, discarding them. He signaled to Comus and the large wolf broke away from the rest and followed him. Looking down at Winny, he said, "They can be mean doggies, if they don't like you." Comus crouched down as Lupinus held out a hand to the child and asked, "Would you like to ride him? Just a short ride. I can help you up."

Aranea licked her lips in a predatory fashion, watching the foolish child that had put her life in the hands of the Moon Court. She pasted a sickly sweet expression on her face and picking up her kimono skirts went over to Feles and Winny.
'Oh I think the doggies will like you,' she said.
'Do have a ride - it is such fun,' and she smiled at the girl.

"Um... shouldn't I ask Mommy first? I don't know if she'd like me riding strange dogs, because she gets very protective. She acts like I am just a baby!"
Winny glanced at Aranea, and stared for a little while. "Why do you have four arms? Did you grow two extra in the cabbage patch?"
She peered back at the wolf, but the 'big doggie' didn't seem to hate her. And it had pretty markings, like someone had gotten a paintbrush and drawn on it. So Winny slowly put her hand in the teenager's hand. "I'm not a baby, I don't need to ask Mommy."

"Good..." Feles scowled slightly, for a moment believing that the girl was going to put up a fight. He didn't want to stay here any longer than he already had, and once he saw that Lupinus had the brat, he turned to the other wolves. He walked towards one then, catching its gaze and holding it. The wolf seemed a lot like him... out of place amidst the others in shades of gray, reds and black. This one was almost snow white, the fey markings showing up a dark, vivid indigo. "You," he said simply, walking to the wolf and waiting as the large creature dropped down to let him mount. Once he was on the wolf's back, he lay against it, digging the claws of hands and feet into the thick fur to hold on. "Go home now!"

Aranea nodded, the smile still pasted on her face;
'Yes - you are a big girl,' she purred silkily, all the while holding back the urge to do the child harm. But that would be the Majestrix's pleasure, and her eyes flickered to Feles, and she gave him a genuine smile - in her eyes he had done his job well.

Nox coalesced near the group and with a malicious grin she leapt aboard the back of a silvery grey wold with white patches and black fae markings. "Come children, now we ride!" She looked towards the child accompanying them a moment to make sure she was well in hand, then her heels pressed into her mount's side and she tore off towards the woods.

Aranea ran a hand over the head of one of the wolves; a large fella whose black pelt was covered in red fey markings. Its tail tip and paws were red- as if they had been dipped in blood, she mused. She mounted its back quickly, and gripped onto its ruff as it bounded after the other wolves. Her hair wipped behind her as the group sped onwards.

THAT was the best idea he'd heard all night. Feles nudged the wold forward and held on for dear life as she bounded forward and started racing to keep up with the others. The trees were whipping past them faster than he could see, and he found himself getting dizzy as a result. Trusting the wolf to find the way on her own, he buried his face in the white fur and closed his eyes, just clinging to the dire wolf's pelt as they ran.

Neith had been at the back of the room, keeping Elle company while she watched the going ons in the room idly. She wasn't too concerened with the company that Winny would have, so she was concent to remain with teh shyer of the two. So when the half-naked woman stood in front of them all, all Neith could do was stare in shock.
She grabbed Elle's hand, clutching to the other to keep the girl in her sight, and started to pace around the room in a semi-panicked state, searching for the twin in the vivid pink dress. Neith ignored all else going on.

Aesculus took off his mask calmly and pushed his hair back. When it was loose, it was often hard to keep from falling over his face; with the mask, this annoyance was minimal.
Considering the situation, it might be alarming that he was so calm, but then again he had been taught that it was best to always remain calm. Seeing the others so bothered, he only affirmed to himself that to become too emotional would make him loose his clarity. Eyes wandered the room, carefully surveying as if to ascertain who was there. He did not rush himself, but instead took his time.
After a moment he turned and looked Filix in the eyes. "I am glad now that I spent my time with a Fey of the court. I could not forgive myself if more were lost to the court of the moon under such trickery."

Tugging the mask off, and then the wig that was already close to falling off anyway, Filix glanced around the room quickly as she dropped them forgotten onto the floor. She wasn't feeling as calm as she looked, her heart racing.
Without thinking, she'd stepped closer to Aesculus. It wasn't a 'protect me' move, rather, it was a way Filix could speak in lower tones without being overheard by too many. Moon Court, here! It had to be nothing more than a joke, a joke that wasn't funny. The first person she'd checked for was Rosa, and Filix was relieved to see that her sister wasn't the one lured out.
She stared upwards again at Aesculus for a few seconds, and answered quietly, "Nor could I..." and then glanced back to the room and tried to concentrate on who wasn't there who should be. It was a litlte harder now. "Who is not here then?"

"I do not know... it appears not to be one of the court... perhaps a Kithain then? It surely is not Syrenrei, she refused to come, and had she actually come, she would have only hovered around me." A funny notion, but all he could muster was an inward chuckle at the idea.
He rested a hand on her shoulder. "Are you sure you do not want to turn in for the night? I can account for you should Cervus ask... you do not have to remain here if you are uncomfortable." After all, these were unsettling circumstances, and she had least mentioned a want to change into other clothes.

"Neith would have attacked them if they'd try her or her daughters, and caused a loud fuss in the effort. It couldn't be her." Filix half was reassuring herself, and it was probably obvious to anyone listening to her quiet words.
Filix blinked a few times, and looked back up into Aesculus's eyes. She'd forgotten about the other costume already, and shook her head feebly. "I... it's just a costume. I need to wait, I need to know what is happening. It's not the Moon Court, or the dress, that's kept me slightly uncomfortable all evening."
Then she turned away a tiny bit. That was a little too much infomation. "I may decide to go change, of course, but not yet."

"If it is not the Moon Court, nor the costume... is something else the matter?" Of course, his mind was more churning something more serious, urgent, and hurtful. If she was so hesitant, surely it was a major incident that was bothering her. Despite a tinge of curiousity, he knew it was best not to press her.
"I do hope whatever it is does not afflict you so that you will always be so uneasy." He added after a moment's thought and clasped his hands behind his back. Since Cervus had taken the initiative, he would wait until he was needed.
