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.

They weren't so entirely different in that regard then, though in Sephiroth's case he had a habit of packing his schedule so full that there wasn't much time at all to be idly sat around doing whatever just popped into his head.

"Starlight is one of those occasions where everyone seems to take a collective break." He flashed a smile again at Selen's chuckle and rolled his shoulders back for a moment, as if working a knot of tension that eventually always seemed to find its way back there.

His eyes cast over the room briefly and rested on one of the buffet tables. Perhaps he should at least take something of the festive goodies that a lot of people had taken the time to lay out.

"Given then, it might seem even rude, to ignore such an opportunity."

Perhaps, that's why Selen can understand some of his concerns. Either way, she was content to understand him to some extent. He was a very hard character to read. She would never stop stating that fact. However, with that being said, he was also very good with small talk from time to time.

"Yes, it seems that way," she replied nodding her head. Ah, that smile. She found it rather dashing on him. A man always looked his best when he was smiling after all. Of course, Selen had her own sweetheart to think about in that way. She always thought the younger generation of people were rather cute..

"That is true. I suppose we both should enjoy the view and partake in the festivities no?" she chimed.

-end.

Small talk was one of those skills he hadn't come with, but needs must within Crystallis seemed to have taught him a thing or two about how to continue conversations when the situation called for it. Not that he had changed much socially, but he was trying where before he wouldn't have.

"One might be convinced to, perhaps." And with that Sephiroth offered a sharp nod to Selen and made to stride away from her across to the other side of the room.

It did seem, a little, that something distracting progressively wound its way to the front of his mind throughout the evening but Selen would have to stay tuned to catch what it was!
