This isn't exactly a squiring after party. Lila's never been to a knighting (and the odds are not in her favor) but she doubts this party is much like it either. The invitation comes in the form of a mass text message sent the day before -- she doesn't care who gets it, its not as if Wynn is going to come to her party. A date, a time, a location, and the rules. She doesn't give a reason.

The rules are simple: dress up classy, don't bring a gift, and wear a mask. It's a masquerade, after all, a mask is a prerequisite. Lila is even so kind as to provide them, a porcelain bowl perched on a chair by the door holds an array; running the gamut from Phantom of the Opera white to classic Venetian blue and gold to Dia de los Muertos red and black. Anyone without a mask is subject to Lila's wrath.

The room is entirely lit by tea lights floating in small glass bowls, leaving long shadows across the walls, and strings of red fairy lights draped across doorways and windows. Music is playing somewhere, loud and dark, forcing you to press up against the person you're talking to. A table shoved against the wall is covered with bottles of fancy champagne, wine, expensive vodka and, the odd man out, pink lemonade. She and Faye might have gone a tad overboard with the alcohol. Blue plastic cups sit in a tottering pile off to the side, a jumble of colorful paper umbrellas dotting the free space on the desk. Another table holds a towering monstrosity of nibbles -- chocolates and tiny cream puffs, miniature Madeline cookies and delicate eclairs. Nothing to fill up on if you're worried about drinking on an empty stomach. Not her problem, she is obviously catering to the younger crowd here. Namely herself.

Lila is around, face half hidden by a simple lacy black mask. Her one blue eye and one green eye would be a dead giveaway if her scar didn't already make it perfectly clear who is behind the mask. She's not playing hostess, she had enough of that back home being Daddy's little darling. This is the first birthday party she has had in almost four years, but even determined to make the most of her experience, she remains at the fringes, drink in hand. The combination of pink lemonade and vodka makes her nostalgic.

Don't worry though, she has her gloves on.

For now.

Maybe. [Rose has always been the one with the lock on the bond.] I don't even know what she would want to know. I can't tell her everything. Some things... other people should find out first, you know she'll hate that.

[Other people means you, Dimitri.]

[(oh, um, sense motive/wisdom nat 20 so...yeah)]

You can tell to me whenever you like.

[Ever since arriving he's had the sneaking suspicion that there are memories he's lost that he's better of without, but if that is what's holding back Lissa from talking to Rose, then he'll gladly hear it.]

Your friend's party isn't the best time probably, but could we talk, soon? In private.

[He nods.]

Of course. Just call, first. I'll give you my number.

[Rose tends to spend a lot of time in his room, because she hates hers. Showing up randomly and telling to her leave might lead to more fights.]
lastdragomir: (listening)

[Yeah, that would be awkward and Lissa is still firmly ignoring the weird dating revelation.

She pulls out her phone and holds it out, not even batting an eyelash that it was tucked into her bra. Dimitri is literally the last person who would care and her dress doesn't have pockets.]


Is there any time that isn't good for you?

I usually train in the mornings, though I'm a rather early riser.

[He takes it and plugs his number into it so that she can save it.]

Anytime is fine, really. I'll get back to you quickly if I don't answer.
lastdragomir: (calm)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-08-31 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is not an early riser. She's working on it, but her body just doesn't agree with her.]

Okay, thanks.
