Christmas Party & Cheer

[goddessofthesky]

WHO: OPEN
WHEN: FORWARD DATED: December 22nd
WHERE: Christmas Town
WHAT: Celebrating the snow, the holidays, good cheery, warm fires and friends.
WARNING: Mistletoe?



With Rukia's help they were able to find a large enough hall in Christmas Town to throw the party. Zelda had set it for this day since a group of brave heroes were going to set out on the 24th. She had made sure that everything was perfect and of course everyone was invited. There were at least six decorated trees with polished silver and gold ornaments hanging from their branches. Scarlet red ribbons decorated the trees and tables with large bows tying the streaming trails together.

There was one very large tree at the halls center and there were a few presents around the bottom for those who needed a place to put gifts. At it's top was a large pointed star.

Champagne and small finger snacks were set on the tables and a part of the room was cleared for those who wanted to dance. Zelda was even able to hire a few people to play Christmas songs throughout the night. There was a table dedicated to sweets with cookies, cakes, small pies and other wonderful treats spread out for people to try.

Among the decorations was mistletoe. This little plant hung above the doorways waiting for any pair who happens to be caught in their hold. Most of the mistletoe was thanks to Minako but Zelda might have put up one sprig at the entrance to the party; it's all in good fun and kisses on the hand or cheek are perfectly acceptable.

That kiss...her cheeks are nice and pink now Saori. She grins wide and takes a sip from her wine but as she hears the question her smile falters.

"No I...I'm sorry. I'd love to join you but I can't. Ramza is planning to entreat with the Empire and I promised him I'd help him out. He wants to try to use the holiday to promote some sort of goodwill. To help protect the people before the Calamity moves again." She sighs and turns her glass in her hand, "I'm honestly going to make sure he isn't walking into a trap without a blade by his side."

If it was anyone else perhaps she'd change her plans, but Ramza was too idealistic a boy for this world. She didn't want to see him come to harm thanks to his honest ideals.

"To the Empire?" Saori looked a bit alarmed. So much for dinner plans. It took Saori a few seconds to process a response. "Well, alright. I won't stop you. Ramza will be in good hands then. Just be careful out there, okay? When you come back then, we'll have another date and this time I'm making dinner."

She gives a small smile but seriously wished she had a camera to get a photo of Mary blushing. "In the mean time, we should celebrate our time together now, don't you agree?"

The worry in Saori's voice hurt Mary's heart. She didn't mean to put the other woman out of sorts over what she was planning. But even so sometimes the right thing to do wasn't always the safest or took you to the places you wanted to be.

But that's what made returning to port all the sweeter. A smile crept across her lips, "That sounds like a lovely plan. As does the one you have for this evening." Still smiling, she clinked her glass to Saori's.
