The Banquet

[modsoflight]

Word of the defeat of the Archons and the salvation of Muenier and Tranmere spread quickly across the two nations. The black rumors and fear gave way to jubilation - the mysterious enemies could be beaten! And it was upon this backdrop that the citizenry flocked to the Rose Garden to celebrate the heroes who had saved the towns. For the moment, both nations were unified, and there was truly a cause to celebrate.

Although there was much jubilation, that was not the only purpose of this. Lord Commander Sinbad worked hard to bring the two rulers together so they could discuss and determine their next moves. But for the others, revelry was to be had. And, ideally, not of the violent international warfare variety.

... Where Cameron promptly slid against a red tail.

Whose owner immediately noticed, turning around with a bit of a glare.

"Hey, careful!", C'Rita Mihen declared with some annoyance.

"Shi-!" Cameron cursed as he stumbled backwards, cutting himself as his body seemed to twist away from flailing arms and clumsy patrons. He eventually began making his way backwards to the table in this fashion, safely arriving to the buffet having dodged and weaved through the crowd seemingly by accident.

Catching his breath, he grabbed a plate, and started loading up. "Well, one way to go about that, I suppose." Still, he'd have to thank that Miqo'te for startling him like that.

Cameron's awkward 'progress' towards the table - and his clean landing and immediate progression to food acquisition - had left C'Rita, at best, nonplussed.

"Seriously?", she muttered to herself, as she moved towards the other end of the table. She could give him an appropriate earful from over there. So rude to slide against a tail and just flee like that...

One of these days, Cameron would have to take an interest in what he was putting in his mouth. By the time he dodged his way out of the crowd his plate was stacked with a number of items he could barely describe by appearance, let alone name.

"Ah?" He noted the red-haired Miqo'te he was making his way towards. Wasn't she... "Oh, it's you. Having a good night, are we?" Now, where was the exit to the tournament hall again?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

C'Rita just looked toward him. "How clumsy are you, anyways?!"

[zetahatsudo]

...

"Oh!" He blinked out of his state of confusion. "Sorry about that." Ah, there it was, time to go crush some unsuspecting fools at card games!

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

"You're just planing to scoot right off aren't you. Like you barely did anything. Didn't your mother ever teach you to not just go around touching Miqo'te tails like some perv?!" ... Accidental brushings were not a perverted incident, C'Rita.

[zetahatsudo]

Oh.

You.

Did.

Not.

"Look, lady, I don't know what the hell your damage is," Cameron growled out as his own tail stood on end. "I didn't come here to get accused of sexual assault, so I'm just going to walk away now." Bringing up that woman, of all things, really got under his skin. He began to walk past her, his mood for cards ruined.
