Hearing a rather strange conversation going on nearby, Zayn approached Ky and nervously cleared his throat. "Um, I didn't mean to eavesdrop or anything, " he hastily reassured the female. "But if you want a feather that badly, you can have one of mine..."
He twitched his wings and tail in demonstration, showing off the scarlet-gold-and-black plumage. "Ah, let me get it if you do want one though?" he suggested with a soft laugh. "People grab at them all the time and it hurts."
Surprising, adults were usually worse than children. Kids just wanted to touch - if an adult was willing to forgo manners and simply touch, then they were going all out to grab and snatch at him.

Ourania rolled her eyes at Quinn, smiling at Basape and gesturing toward the woman she shared a cushion with. "Okay, if you insist." she said, winking to Fiore's familiar. The little moomba nodded, pouncing onto the summoner's other shoulder and leaning forward to lick Quinn's offered face, starting at the chin and working his way up to a cheek.

Fire continuing to sip his drink looked around at all the many faces covered in beautiful masks. Then noticing Zayn had disappeared he decided to go look for him. "Zaaayn? Where are you?"

"Oh," Zayn blushed and turned back to where he'd heard Fire's voice. Reaching up on his tip toes, he waved his arms and called, "Over here!"
Okay, now he felt like a bit of an idiot, but how else was anyone supposed to find people they knew at a masked ball?

"I see you!" he yelled out happily without feeling any slight embarassment even if a few eyes darted his way. Quickly making his way through he followed Zayn's waving hand trying not to bump into people. Finally he made it and sighed with relief. "So, have you seen anyone else?"

Seeing his main interest at the moment was starting to leave, Kale smiled sheepishly. "Was a pleasure speaking to you!" He called after the Hostess. Not knowing what he was to do now but socialize with other people in the large room.

"Um, I didn't mean to eavesdrop or anything, "..."But if you want a feather that badly, you can have one of mine..."
Ky looked up from the spot on the floor she'd been staring at into a pair of shimmering ruby eyes. "Excuse me?" She asked in a confused tone. "I don't understand, how did you? You actually understood us?" The whole situation was quite bewildering for she naively hadn't expected to meet anyone who could understand the druid language.
But not two seconds later, a wave of understanding could be seen passing across Ky's face. For eventhough part of her face was hidden beneath a mask, her eyes softened, and her smooshed, frowing lips smoothed into a warm, silky smile. "You'll have to forgive me. It would appear that tonights atmosphere has robbed me of my head. You most certainly did understand me for I was speaking in a common tongue, instead of my native language as I presumed. But anyway, to answer your question I would love a feather. Thank you."
Ky eyed the man's feathers lovingly. "Such beautiful feathers. I must admit I'm rather envious; I'd love to be able to fly." Bringing the wine glass to her lips once more, Ky leaned back against the wall waiting and watching as the man with the wings turned away and beckoned to another who was across the hall.
"Perhaps this evening won't turn out quite so gloomy after all." Ky whispered to a dozing Misa.

Paper materialized at the doorway, her bright blue eyes sparkling underneath her polished golden mask.
"What fun!" the child squealed as she clutched her kitty doll to her chest. Her white ruffled dress swished loudly as the ghost bounced in place. So many things to investigate and people to meet!
"Really now," came the perpetually irritated voice of Waltz. "You need to stop teleporting. It's quite tiresome trying to follow you around!" The fluffy moogle huffed a few times to punctuate his statement before setting himself down on Paper's shoulder.
Genesis, in her usual fashion, was nearby investigating the unusual vegitables and fruits layed out for consumption. "Hmm," she mumbled to herself. "I wonder if this has any medicinal properties?" Opening a tiny satchel slung around her shoulder, the green elysian began picking off bits and pieces of the meal and placing them inside.
Waltz simply sighed and shook his head. "She fancies herself an herbalist if you can believe it."
Paper pursed her lips and skipped over to avian. "I dun't think those food are fer medicinies Gen-poo. Prolly all that stuff's been cooked outta the plants y'know?" The ghost bent down really close to a bowl of what looked like steamed brocolli and sniffed. Instantly she shot bolt upright with the most horrified of expressions plastered across her pale face. "Aw moogle-pellets, that smells just awful!"
Waltz, who was thrown from his perch by the sudden movement, could only grumble and ajdust his hat.

"No, not yet," Zayn smiled, relieved to have simply found one familiar face. "Or," he said, struck by a dire thought, "maybe I did and just didn''t realise it? I hope that''s not it, they''d probably feel insulted..."
Turning back to the girl, he smiled brightly and said, "My name''s Zayn. It''s no trouble at all, really." Spreading one wings, he gently dislodged a large feather that was close to moulting anyway. He held it out for her to take. "I can''t actually fly though," he said, a touch rueful. "Just glide. I don''t think these humanoid bodies are designed for flight, even with wings. But it''s fun, I guess."

//*Waves to paper*
[Onion Knight, Behebuncle & Roan]
Roan was not impressed by the manner in which his name was revealed to say the least, but instead of snapping at the knight like many might have assumed he simply shifted his weight onto another foot and allowed himself to lapse into silence as Onion Knight and his steed took the limelight away from him (for which he was most grateful to them).
"Aye, I embarked on a quest to speak with the good mages - they promised to help recreate the beauty of the forest when they have finished fixing their gate...I did not see any gate when I was talking to them but alas they are very strange people." The Onion Knight confirmed as he reached for Masa's hand and gave it a gentle kiss.
"I never did thank you for saving my life! Would you care for this dance?" He enquired merrily causing both Behebuncle and Roan to exchange bemused glances.
[Squished a la Dune]
Dune released a rather large out breath and appeared winded after his initial hug of greeting to the extent that her lips at lost their smile. Nevertheless, like a true charmer the smile flashed up once more that she had recovered and she fought against her desire to rub her ribs for fail of embaressing herself and insulting the half ogre who had actually made attempts to greet her in a nice manner.
"If you say so, but plants have plenty of fibre too and I somehow doubt the hosts would appreciate you eating their tables." She pointed out before glancing at one of the dishes of peculiar foods, "Do they taste any good...?"

Lady_Ourania Ourania rolled her eyes at Quinn, smiling at Basape and gesturing toward the woman she shared a cushion with. "Okay, if you insist." she said, winking to Fiore's familiar. The little moomba nodded, pouncing onto the summoner's other shoulder and leaning forward to lick Quinn's offered face, starting at the chin and working his way up to a cheek.
Scratching the lion-esque creature behind the ear she smiled at him and said, "I guess you aren't as bad as I thought."
"Hey Oura, wanna dance?" she exclaimed, popping up from her spot on the floor, spilling cupcake crumbs all around.

Convinced that the brocolli infected table was something to avoid like the plague, Paper bounced her way through the crowd and toward the center of the activity. The child ghost made a game of her passage, sometimes bumping roughly into people, other times passing though them completely. Either way, she didn't make herself very inconspicious.
In the mean time, Waltz did his best to keep his pudgey mass afloat above the crowd so he could keep an eye on both Paper and Genesis. After all, if he didn't who knows what would happen! As the ghost meandered farther into the crowd, however, the familiar could no longer move toward her. He had reached the limit of that bond between him and his elysian, and to go any further would cause them both discomfort.
Genesis, feeling the tug of her familiar, popped her head up from within the large salad bowl she had been exploring and made an unhappy chirp.
Oblivious to the pair, Paper continued her 'haunting' and generally just made a nuisance of herself among the guests. Yep. This would be a long night. The ghost secretly hoped people were taking the time to enjoy the party. Who knew what kind of people were present and what sort of opportunities might arise. The little ghost only knew one thing. And that was..
"Oh hey.. shiney!"
Across the room Waltz groaned dramatically and gave up on the hopeless ghost to go watch over his plant obsessed companion.

Masa noticed that Roan now seemed like the uncomfortable one. She was going to say something, but decided it wasn't really her place to, so she just smiled at him. "Any friend of Onion Knight's is a friend of mine..." Saying that, she gave Roan a soft nudge on the leg. She then turned back to Onion Knight. "That's wonderful!" she gushed, very pleased that these Mages were willing to right the wrong they did.
Giggling as Onion Knight kissed her hand, she shook her head. "You don't have to thank me...if I didn't have Yin and Yang to help me, I wouldn't of even been able to save myself!" She paused for a moment after Onion's question. Of course she would love to dance with the little guy, but she would be so scared of stepping on him. At the same time though, she didn't want to disappoint him. "OK then!" she laughed "I don't really know how to dance though, you'll have to show me..."

Junkan shrugged at Dune, "Filling..." he told her, with a slight frown. Maybe he didn't understand the question. Maybe he just didn't care about it. Either way he kneeled down so he was at eye level with the woman, rather than looking down at her.
"Whut doing here?" he asked Dune, his eyes narrowed just slightly, his lips still curled back into what might have been a smile, or at least his equivlent of the gesture as he waited for her answer.

Quinny-chan Giggling as the tiny tongue flicked its way around her face, Quinn wiggled and squirmed, hands finally comming into contact with the little Moomba. "Oura, you sure are furry... HEY!" she exclaimed, finally opening her eyes and seeing Baspe in place of Oura.
Scratching the lion-esque creature behind the ear she smiled at him and said, "I guess you aren't as bad as I thought."
"Hey Oura, wanna dance?" she exclaimed, popping up from her spot on the floor, spilling cupcake crumbs all around.
Ourania laughed. "I am not furry..." she said with mock indignance, pausing a moment to eye the dancing couples. "And I'm a really bad dancer..."
