The Witch chuckled and laughed along the crowd as Dante offered the first round of ale on him. As he turned to her once again, she shot him a terribly sparkly and cheeky smile.
"Midnight is perfect. The best hour for casting certain spells... "
Clearly a playful jest, but she looked like she was having fun.
"I'll meet you then, when you're less busy. I'll make sure to be delightfully intoxicated then, and I'd suggest you do the same. So, Mr. Dante, see you at midnight."
Offering the fellblood a wink, Kamille nodded to the other people present.
"I hope you can introduce me to your brother later, Lady Celeste."
Soren didn’t look at ease, and she knew better than to press for a conversation with shy people in the middle of a small crowd. Much like the nymph, Celeste's brother looked like a fish trying to climb a tree in a place like that. She offered them a reassuring smile either way, accepting the drink Allan gave her, after quickly picking it up from a passing waiter. She did, however, get curious about him, as it was clear there was something else going on. But everything on its time.
"Javal, I'm gonna take a look at your ship if you don’t mind. My lords, my ladies, I hope you have a great evening. See you around."
Nodding to everyone present, Kamille took her leave. Allan approached to whisper in her ear, and she chuckled softly as the Black Quill stepped back and quickly vanished among the crowd, his fancy hat following him around.
Now alone, she took the time for a leisure stroll around the ship, clearly taking her time to enjoy all the party would have to offer. Not ever one to refuse a polite conversation, she ocasionally struck a brief talk to any and everyone that would entertain her.

Dante winked to Kamille and said, "I'll hold you to that." He let her depart without fuss. The night was still young anyways, and there were more and more folks coming on board. His eye caught a gleam when one of Javal's deckhands mentioned Peppermint was on his way. He grinned devilishly and whispered, "Thank you good lad; I think that's the best news I'll receive all night." He dismissed him and turned to Javal who had a couple of folk who were addressing him. That's fine, he thought. He'll know soon enough.
His immediate attention was more drawn to Valerian who was asking to abscond with some snacks. He knew she'd be a bit of a wallflower when he invited her and had planned to spend some time with her anyways if only to make her first time at one of his parties more comfortable. He approached the spruced up nymph and said, "Well I hope you have a lot of room in your stomach, because we have all sorts of food." He took a slight bow and offered his hand to her, saying, "Miss Valerian, would you be so kind as to grace me with a dance?"
Dante shot a look to the musicians on board to put on something appropriate for a jig. Dante leaned in and whispered to her, "If it helps you swallow your fear, I have dessert waiting for you at the end of the dance."

Javal nodded as he heard Celeste discuss her brother’s shyness; it made sense, and Javal smiled as she shook his hand. It had been some time since their last adventure riding their mounts across a King’s Valley track but it was nice seeing her again.
He returned Sarne’s sign of respect with a slight bow of his own; he respected the other man’s honorable introduction.
He smiled as the other man approached him, “Hello there friend Sarne, I’ve been well how about you fight any other dangerous beasts or opponents lately? We have to spar one of these days, friend. I'm itching to test my strength against you since the first time I saw you slice that charred back in Moonglade”.
He looked over at Kamille, “No problem at all Kamille ships yours to explore if you see a sun elf woman with curly brown hair could you ask her if she’s seen Nadia or the party bear yet?”.
Javal’s attention then died down and he heard someone new approach it was that wood nymph lady he’d seen earlier, he turned to face her and smiled, “Thank you the Sword of Abaddon is my treasure this baby is my home. A far cry from its inspiration of the Xebec’s Maw the ship I apprenticed under but it’s mine all the same. Of course, you can take as many snacks as you’d like, even more, my friend. What’s your name miss?”, He then stepped back, seeing as Dante and she seemed to be speaking now.
“Hm, what to do now?”, he thought as he looked around, “Ah, I know the best thing about parties, dance”.
He then jogs over to the center of the party and begins dancing his heart out awaiting for the more exciting parts of the evening to come peppermint and party bears arrival.

Sarne was kind of overwhelmed by the party. Sarne had not been around these many people in a long time. Even if he did know a lot of them. In some ways, Sarne felt disconnected from being gone for so long. Hearing the music and seeing Javal dance did get a smile from Sarne. Javal could be a show-off at times.
The question of spar one of these days from Javal did make Sarne wonder how he would do against a man like Javal. Sarne was sure he could hold his own but could Sarne beat Javal in a friendly duel. Sarne was not so certain of. Sarne did answer Javal with any time and a smile.
Sarne watched as people walked around and partake of the food and drink. He smiles and politely nods if anyone acknowledges him. Sarne had grown up doing this sort of socializing but this time it just felt different. Taking an Ale and looking. Sarne started to walk around the deck looking over the ship thinking he wanted to buy one someday.

Frozen still, Val lamented her social skills and awaited an answer. Why was she like this?
“Of course, you can take as many snacks as you’d like, even more, my friend. What’s your name miss?”
Oh! Well this went way better than I expected- more than as many as I like is exactly as much as I want! Suddenly, Valerian was beaming. I need to go try them all again and figure out which ones I'd like, and which ones I'd like even more- Oh! "Oh! My names Valerian. I am in your debt."
Just then, Dante cut in. With an elegant bow, he offered his hand: "Miss Valerian, would you be so kind as to grace me with a dance?"
Val quickly takes Dante's offered hand. "Oh, Dan-Mister Dante! I don't know about grace, but I'll definitely dance!" Catching the soft lamplight, her smiling oaken face gazed up at his. She hadn't been sure asking for snacks was a good idea, but she could hardly say no to snacks (more than she'd like) and a dance.
Pulling softly at Dante's hand, she took like two steps towards the dance deck before freezing in fear. Wait- its in front of people (with Dante, though). I hardly even know how to dance (not that that's stopped me before(yeah when i was alone)). Why am I like this?
oh, right- for snacks

Kamille seemed to be enjoying herself for a moment, taking an idle stroll around the ship as she took a sip of her drink. The seas were still a foreign place for her to be, but little by little she was getting used to it - like she got used to the skies. For a moment she avoided conversation, observing the others.
A few noble lords were peakcocking around, which made some others look like fish trying to climb trees. Javal was quick to find his way to the dancefloor, dancing to his hearts content - she was wondering about joining him. Valerian, Dante's shy friend, was accompanied by the fellblood, and she was happy with the arrangement. Dante didn’t allow things to grow awkward between them, and she was thankful for that. He was indeed a good friend.
Celeste and her brother were people she'd like to talk later, perhaps when the noise was a bit lower and the spirits a bit high. Right now, she found one fish out of the water that she didn’t expect at all, and so approached with intention, announced by the click clack of her high heels.
Her gentle hands found its way around his arm - that warmth that felt inviting rather than intrusive.
"Young Lord Sequoia! What a surprise seeing you here! Are you an acquaintance of our gracious host? How are you finding the party? You look a bit stiff...."

Dante found that sometimes the best way to interact with the anxious was to toss them into the deep end rather than have them just dip a toe in the proverbial pool. He wrapped an arm around her waist and took her hand in his and danced with her as if she had been his dance partner for years. Even if she stepped on a foot or stumbled, Dante pretended not to notice. He said, "You sway with as much grace as a weeping willow in the spring breeze my darling Valerian."
He gave her a little spin and pulled her in close, whispering, "I'm glad you came here tonight."
Dante turned and spun and stepped until something caught his eye. A burly gentleman had joined the party's fray. Clearly he was a ruffian who had put on his best outfit which he must have owned for years. Memories flickered in his mind, especially when he caught of whiff of... peppermint. Dante's warm expression dropped for just a brief moment before warming once more when his gaze met Valerian's. He hugged her close with one arm and turned to Javal, saying, "Captain, I believe our 'guest of honor' has arrived. Be sure to give him the best preserve, yes?"
With a wink, he signaled that Peppermint had made his way onto the ship. It was a little early, but that was just as well; plenty of time to get thoroughly drunk on the spiked liquor Dante had ordered just for him. A wry grin streaked across his face, and he said to Val, "If you'd like, I can accompany you as you mingle. I know this must be a terribly foreign thing, these parties. No shame in being nervous." He parted a lock of her hair away from her face and said, "It's actually quite endearing."
Peppermint was quick to find the bar and make conversation with a couple of deckhands he had worked with in the past. Hard to miss a dockworker like himself, Dante thought. He observed the party was starting to really get on with the number of guests, so he took it upon himself to make an announcement:
"Friends new and old! Welcome to our humble gathering. I'd like to start this night off by personally thanking Captain Javal for providing the venue for this evening." A brief applause later, Dante said, "Midnight is rapidly approaching us, and we have an exciting show for you this evening. I'm sure you can all *bear* to wait a little longer though. I have it on good authority that our star attraction shall be here before the turn of the hour so grab a comfortable seat, a good drink, and well... if you decide to go below deck, do try not to be *too* loud."
He gave the crowd a knowing wink.

Javal glanced around as he danced his heart away, his feet moving a mile a minute content and happy to be by himself. It seemed that everyone he knew here was having their good fun, Sarne, Celeste, and Kamille seemed more keen on exploring his ship and keeping to themselves which the fellblood was more than alright with. He continued dancing before getting his attention turned to Dante who was dancing with Valerian nearby. He looked around and tried to be as stealthy as he could but unfortunately, it just looked very obvious that Javal was looking around for someone. He spotted him as the peppermint scoundrel whom this party was all about.
He nodded at the man and whispered, “Yes I shall”, and sent one of his men to get ready the spiked liquor that was planned.
Javal glanced at the man who was making chat with his men almost seemingly like he had no care in the world. He was very brash and loud, laughing hardily. The man glanced at his fellow fellblood as he made his speech shrugging a little embarrassed at the sudden attention.
He saw Nadia approach her hair a mess and in a green classy dress although seemingly out of breath, “My liege after looking for the past hour I finally found him. It was really the party bear that you spoke of. I found him and although it took a lot of convincing and strange communication he is here and ready to party”.
Suddenly from the ship’s rail, a large brown bear with a small colorful vest, red clown nose, black bifocals, and a large striped ball appeared roaring with delight and began taking the party to the next level with his vibe.

Sarne thought the night was good. The weather is cool but not cold the smell of the sea breeze. Water splashing against the ship. He had grown up with that. The Grey Citadel is on the cliffs by the Sea. The Sea was no stranger to Sarne. This is where the land of his family got its name Silvermyist. The mist of the ocean the morning light looked like, silver mist. The sound of heels broke him out of thought. Surprised that Kamille took his arm Sarne smiled at her. Not like he did not know she was there more like the smooth movement and graceful walk not missing a step getting next to him. "Stiff?" Sarne repeated thinking. "I am still adjusting I think. This many people are in one place after almost alone for a year. I do thank you for your help earlier. You are a true friend Kamille." Sarne complamented Kamille. "I have to say you look beautiful in the moonlight always looking so stunning." Sarne gives another compliment. Thinking Sarne thought she probably had enough compliments. Men and some women fussing over her. She was a woman to gaze upon no one would argue with that. "I hope one day to repay you or get to help you somehow." Said Sarne with a genuine smile. "How are things going with you? I hope everything is going well?" asked Sarne trying to get his mind focused on something besides Kamille's beauty.
