Suteki Da Ne~ Afterwards

[timenpcs.livejournal.com]

Characters: Everyone invited and anyone who can justify being in Luca on the day of the ceremony (mad clowns not allowed)
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: After the ceremony!
Location: Luca, southern beach
Date: Friday, June 18, 1804
Warnings: We'll have to wait and see

In order to avoid Kefka showing up and destroying the place, Yuna and Tidus had kept the date and the preparations, on the whole, very on the down-low. So far Kefka hadn't actually gone to Luca, that they knew of, and neither of them had made big announcements about the date over the network. Most of the city knew, of course, as well as their friends, but they hoped that was as far as it had gone. Still, most of the wedding party had weapons in reserve, and the guests probably did, too.

But the wedding of a High Summoner was a Big Deal to native Spirans, and the fact that her groom was her Guardian and a skilled Blitzball player definitely drew more interest, leading many of the people in the city who hadn't gotten invitations to show up anyway just to try and catch a glimpse. There was no formal reception, but a large spread of food had been set up down the beach just a little ways, guarded from thieves and onlookers by more Blitz players until the ceremony was actually over. There was also a small musical group off to the side, playing various melodies for whomever wanted to dance. It was a social gathering, mainly, a time to talk and mingle, meet new friends and say hello to old ones, and maybe play a prank or two.

Just not on the newlyweds, please.

((ooc: If you can justify being in Luca, you can come to the party, invite or no. Since there's no real separation of areas, there will be no location subthreads. Just go ahead and tag away! Threadhopping and ninjatagging encouraged!))

Recognizing the young lady alone amongst the crowd, Edge was surprised to see her alone. While he was doing his earnest not to flirt, instincts sometimes dulled the senses as he approached the sorceress.

"I wouldn't try that one."

"Edge!" Rinoa was surprised to see him. She shrugged. "Which one?"

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

He quickly points to the long skinny one. "I'm not sure what they were thinking with that one. I think I'll stick to something more familiar."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Familiar, huh?" Rinoa crossed her arms. "What have you been up to anyway? It's been ages since we last met."

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Ignoring all memories of being beat up by the Iron Giant, he grinned at his last foray to the beach.

"I'm still drying off after you threw me in the water. Maybe next time, I'll toss you."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Not in this dress," Rinoa said, wagging a finger at him. "This was way too expensive to ruin."

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Edge pointed innocently back at himself, "Me? Do you really think I'd ruin your dress?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"You're too much of a gentleman for that, right?" Rinoa hoped he was. She smiled. Banter like this gave her back some of her usual sparkle.

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

The compliments stoked Edge's ego. He deftly snatched two drinks from a passing waiter. "You can be the judge of that." He then proceeded to pass the glass over to her.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa took the glass and toasted him. "That gets you a pass in my book. Well, almost a pass. Shouldn't a gentleman ask a lady to dance?"

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Edge paused only to ensure that Rydia was happily engaged with other company as it wouldn't suit to enjoy himself if she was bored and alone.

Offering his hand, "Then shouldn't you already be dancing."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"I should." Rinoa smiled, though her mouth trembled slightly as she thought of Squall again. She should already be dancing with him. But she took Edge's hand, hoping to lose herself in the music.

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Edge knew better than to take the subject down the path it did. He now had to resort to crisis damage control. Shaking off the effect of the mistake, he gave her a genuine smile. "Then let's get you on the dance floor."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa accompanied him to the dance floor, setting one hand firmly on his waist. She felt like closing her eyes and pretending Edge was Squall, but she couldn't lie to herself like that.

"Can you dance?"

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Edge wouldn't mind too much if she did as he liked Rinoa and wouldn't mind snubbing the cranky leader. Questioning his dance skills however, triggered an arrogant remark.

"Dance? Eblan has thrown many grand balls."

Placing his hands deftly upon her hips, he winked asking in mock challenge. "Think you can keep up?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"I'll try." Rinoa was confident in her dancing skills. She adjusted her balance, ready to follow his lead.

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Edge had determined that nothing else, Rinoa would forget her troubles while on the dance floor. He was sure even Rydia would agree that Rinoa deserved to forget for a few moments.

Edge smiled as the music started. Ensuring that his feet were light upon the floor, he quickly led her into a simple step if only to determine the extent of her skill.
