Who: Melisande and Lucia
When: Right after the Halloween Party
***
Melisande watched Lucia leave with wide eyes. But...the dancing, and the music!! Still swaying in time to the song, the muse sighed. It made her heart ache, seeing the kitten leave so sad. From her own party, to boot! Casting a glance to the front door, Melisande remembered the way it slammed when Rivener had left, and jumped a bit. She couldn't let it end like this, not for poor Lucia, not for anyone!
Pasha slipped away for the second time that evening, trailing just a few minutes behind Lucia. She knew it was time to leave, but surely there was enough time for a simple goodbye. Pushing open the door she suspected was the Frei's, Melisande poked her head in, squinting in the dim light.
"L-Lucia? Kitty kitty?" She used her softest, sweetest voice, still waiting for her eyes to adjust.

The kitten scowl deepened as her door was opened without a knock. Yuurei was a b***h. ”Leave me alone” she said before the intruder could say anything. She came up here to avoid everyone. She didn’t want Yuurei coming up her trying and failing at talking to her. As a soft voice that wasn’t Yuurei’s drifted across the room, Lucia looked up. The white dress could be seen from the moonlight coming in through the windows. Lucia couldn’t remember who was wearing what costume anymore. Her own was lying inside out on the floor, obviously shed quickly.
Lucia didn’t care who it was. She didn’t want company. She wanted to be alone. That she thought, had been clear enough with her wordless departure. No more parties for me. ”What do you want?” she asked roughly. Already in her bed Lucia turned over, her back to the door, her arms crossed in front of her chest. Maybe whoever it was would just leave.

Melisande wavered for a moment, taken aback at the angry little voice. It was obvious that Lucia didn't want to talk, and Pasha didn't want to disturb her...but the thought of the hostess going to bed so angry made the muse very, very sad.
Settling gently on the edge of the bed, trying her best not to be a nuisance, Melisande stroked the few locks of hair she could see with a doting touch. Her voice was low and sweet, with a peaceful tone. She picked a song that Aki sang when she'd had one too many drinks, but offered it softly, like a lullaby and tribute all rolled into one.
"Her eyes, they glowed like the moonlight.
Lucia strolled like a Queen, head tall~"
Melisande could feel that tiny bit of inspiration in her words, and hoped it helped inspire sweet dreams. Her touch was as gentle as a kitten, along Lucia's dark hair. She would leave soon, this was simply her way of saying goodnight.
"Her fur had the sheen of obsidian,
She kept shining with her black kitty paw."
There was more to the song, but Pasha paused, waiting to see if Lucia was asleep or still angry. She didn't want to overstay her welcome.

Some people just couldn’t get a hint, Lucia thought as she felt the visitor sit on her bed and begin. . . touching her. Lucia’s jaw hardened. And she inched her body towards the edge of it slightly, trying to knock this person off of the bed.
A singing voice that Lucia had never heard began to sing a song to her. She gritted her teeth. It wasn’t that she couldn’t sing. The girl – she recognized that whoever this was, was definitely a female – could sing very well. Her voice would be something that Lucia would normally appreciate, but the kitten wanted to be angry. She wanted to be alone. She had made that clear.
With a push of her arms, Lucia backed up all the way to the edge, effectively knocking whoever it was away. Floating up and spinning around, her eyes didn’t register that it was her friend. She just wanted this person out. OUT. Picking up the closest thing to her – her alarm clock still plugged into the wall – Lucia threw it as hard as she could at the girl. ”Get out of my room!” she yelled, not caring whether or not her projectile hit. She jumped at the person, her right hand balling in a fist. She blindly swung at this intruder, hoping to connect with something.

Melisande might have expected a growl or a scratch, but not this. She was already moving off the bed as Lucia rolled, and luckily, the alarm clock didn't fly far as it tugged itself out of the outlet in the wall. Crossing her arms as the kitten flailed, flinching as a punch landed on her arm, Pasha floated swiftly back.
What had gone wrong?
"Oh, Lucia!!" Pasha's voice was sad, her breath short. She caught the door frame with both hands, ready to pull herself out of the room if the Frei kept fussing. "I just wanted to say goodnight, I am so sorry your party ended this way! I..." What could she do, really? Her arm was smarting where the girl had smacked her, and she was losing petals by the handful from stress.
"I will throw a new party, just for you! Someday~" With one last sad look at her angry friend, Melisande reached for the door knob.

It was very satisfying when her fist connected with the other’s arm. It wasn’t the hard head or face she had hoped for, but it was good enough. As the invader fled the cat felt satisfied. This was her territory. No one could come here unless she invited them. Unless she allowed it. And this one was not.
Turning, Luica flicked on the light. Her eyes were sharp and quickly adjusted to the light change. ”Good. Night.” she said plainly, her face softening slightly when she realized it was Pasha and her face looked so sad. Well she should have left when she was told!

"Good...night." Pasha barely whispered the words, still shocked and more than a little worried. Easing out into the hall, one hand over her injured arm, Melisande blinked in the sudden light. It didn't take her long to turn and flee...if Lucia wanted her space that badly, she probably needed it. Melisande wasn't there to make her night any harder!!
Breathing a little easier, Melisande started to relax by the time she rejoined the last of the party guests. It almost seemed like a dream, everything she'd been through that evening!! Casting one last glance back towards Lucia's room, the muse took a deep breath, and sighed.
Parties were hard!

Lucia soundlessly closed the door and turned the light off. It wasn't her fault Meli didn't know when to get a clue. Looking out at the moonlight she was happy. The frei had gotten what she wanted. She was finally alone. Crawling back into bed the kitten curled into a ball and promptly fell asleep.
