Despite her, albeit it minimal, best efforts Akos let out a guffaw. Oooor, she let the word roll slowly off of her tongue, everyone else decided to be fashionably late and I started right on time.


She stood back as TK offered his arms in escort and shared a smile with the trio. Not waiting for them to follow - for surely all creatures were capable of making up their own minds - Akos made a sweeping gesture towards the main hall with her left hand. All the fun's inside. With a waggle of her eyebrows she turned on her heel, Follow if you dare!

With a polite wave xie declined the offered drink. This was not a time be... distracted by xer more organic needs. Xie had to concentrate if xie wanted to remain focused in the here and now. Xie chatted with Nikola and TK feeling much more relaxed. Seeing Akos xie smiled. Xie rather enjoyed Ako's lack of formailty it reminded xer of their friends of long ago. Xie walked along side Akos and TK presuming that Nikola would wish to walk tge otherside of TK, as they went into building xer eyes automatically took in details and memorised them. Xie smiled in return and adressed Akos in xer usual friendly manner "Its a nice break from my usual persuits Akos. I was glad I managed to have the time to attend," xie felt the familiar presence of Night as he landed on xer shoulder in the form of a raven and reached up to run a finger down its cool soft feathers letting their bond bring a sense of calmness to xer mind.

Nikola laughed as Akos suggested that she was actually on time and everyone else was fashionably late. “Perhaps you are right about that!” she agreed. She took a moment to admire TK in his attire. It was not grand, but it suited him, and he looked both comfortable and quite handsome in it. She gave him a warm smile and took his proffered arm, following Akos into the main area where people were congregating. “You look very handsome tonight, TK,” she told him in a quiet voice. “I’m glad to find you here. These events always make me a little uncomfortable, to be honest, and having a friend to share it with eases that feeling of awkwardness,” she confided.

As her family moved forward Mele smiled at the woman who'd approached her, "I guess it's time to move inside. They're all heading that way." she spoke quietly so as not to betray herself fully with the lisp created by her fangs. They were still not fully retracted and she sometimes struggled with words sounding clear after she'd had a drink or two. She followed quietly leaving it up to the other woman whether to come or not.

TK walked the ladies in and gave Nikola's arm a little extra squeeze. "It's my pleasure to be here for you. Honestly, I'm a little uncomfortable being around all these titles and such myself." Even though TK had once held a title in another land and had turned that title in before leaving that land, he just didn't care about having any title himself. Which was mildly ironic due to the fact that he was about to do something that involved being around the highest of titles most of the time.

"Would you like me to keep you company the rest of this evening?" he asked with a smile.

Smiling gratefully at her friend, she squeezed him back. “I would be delighted for you to keep me company,” she told him, adding sheepishly, “and ever so grateful. Thank you.”

Inside, the house was bustling with activity, from the apparent drinking game involving both guests and servants to the King and his betrothed standing quietly to one side. She wondered what all would happen at this occasion. She had learned from experience that with Akos and Aishe in attendance, almost anything was possible.

“Shall we get something to drink?” she suggested, her smile including Varann as well as TK in the question. “I find I’m a bit parched.” She grinned up at TK and added, “You know what I like, I think.”

TK chuckled and nodded "T'will be my pleasure to keep you company then."

As they entered the main hall TK was surprised at just how lavish the decor was in the hall. He'd expected it to be grand, but this far exceeded those expectations. There was food and drink on every table and there seemed to be no shortage of either. As a servant walked by holding a tray of some drink TK inquired as to where the brandy was being hidden. The waiter motioned in a direction towards the left of them and another came by holding a tray full of nothing but brandy bottles and glasses. TK nodded politely before grabbing one of the bottles and handed it to Nikola, then grabbed another for himself.

"Brandy M'lady?" TK asked with a wink before pulling the cork out with his teeth and downing the contents. The waiter was about to head off when TK reached over his head and replaced the empty bottle and grabbed a full one. "That should just about catch me up with the majority of beings here!" He chuckled and smiled at Nikola.

"Thank you," Nikola replied as TK handed her some brandy with a wink. "I think," she added, mildly surprised that she ended up with a bottle rather than a glass of brandy. She couldn't help but laugh as he popped the cork on his bottle with his teeth and downed the entire contents before the waiter could escape. She was still chuckling when he replaced the empty with a second full bottle. She glanced down at her bottle and considered pulling the cork out herself, but decided that TK's teeth were probably a lot stronger than hers, so she handed it to him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Care to do the honors?" she asked and then stopped the waiter long enough to snag a glass before he hurried on his way.

"I'll probably down the whole bottle, but I'm not sure I could handle doing it all in one go," she explained to TK. Noting the food tables, she realized she was hungry and if she was going to drink, she knew she had best eat, too. "I'm going to see what Akos has on offer besides good drink and fine wine. Care to join me? Or shall I find you once I fill my plate? I don't promise to share, by the way," she teased with a wink, "so if you're hungry you'll have to get your own!" Sapphire sparkled gaily as she grinned at him, beginning to relax a little now he was there. Funny how the presence of a good friend can have that effect, she mused, her smile never leaving her face.

With a grateful smile, Aishe accepted the offered hand of her betrothed. The situation felt strange, with so many eyes on the pair as they entered the house. Being Viceroy, she was often at her monarch’s side and under the watchful gaze of others. Yet, this circumstance was very different and admittedly, she felt somewhat exposed by it. Still, the vampire kept her chin raised with a smile perched on her lips, giving greetings and nods to familiar and unfamiliar creatures alike.

The sight of her wife changed things. It was a good reminder that she was not in this alone. It’d also prove to be a good distraction as the baroness came over with a pep in her step and a giddy excitement. She could smell the alcohol well before Akos leaned in for a hug. She released Zuan's hand to embrace Akos fully, if just to offer physical support, with her own mumble in answer on why she was behind, Ask your sons.

She managed to leave a kiss upon her wife's cheek before the woman greeted their King and betrothed. A thin eyebrow arched at the attempted curtsy. She wanted to blame the alcohol, but really, how perfected was her wife's curtsies to begin with? Aishe did not get a chance to say much more to her dark haired beauty before Akos was distracted and bounded off. She stood there, a bit surprised at being left so swiftly, giving the King a furrowed brow. Was this what Akos dealt with for the last two decades, married to a social butterfly? The surprise gave way to an amused grin and a shrug.

Looks like there's some catching up to do. I'll give her credit where credit is due though and honestly, she did a rather good job.. Her voice trailed for a moment, blue eyes searching their surroundings. It did not appear they were late, necessarily, but only that Akos had started early. Time to socialize.

Ella was not entirely sure how she ended up outside of the manor. Looking around, she watched as people mingled and greeted each other. People were eating and drinking. Food sounded good. Wondering back inside the manor, Ella found a glass of whisky and some nibbles to munch on. She glanced around having lost sight of anyone she knew. Idly, she wondered how such a wedding would work. Were there special vows or a triad? What if they decided to take another spouse in the future? Would there be yet another grand wedding? Ella's alcohol-addled mind began to wonder over ever more random thoughts.
