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!))

At Mjrn's question Blank gave a nod of his head. A smile crept its way into his lips. He truly did enjoy her company. She was just so sweet and so different to most of the other girls he met.

"I would love nothng more, Mjrn." He held out his hand for her to take. Always the gentleman.

Mjrn took his hand and headed toward the dancers. The music was light and with a simple beat, easy enough to follow. Compared to the sometimes complicated dances at the royal balls, Mjrn felt this was pretty easy to follow. She paused at the edge of the dance area, turning to Blank and ready to let him start them off.

Blank watched the dancers for a moment, before giving Mjrn's hand a gentle squeeze, smiling at her. "Shall we?"

He wrapped an arm around her waist, his other hand leeping hold of hers. She really was incredibly tall, even more noticably so when they danced.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

"Aye." There was a small nod from Mjrn, who couldn't help but respond to his smile with a soft one of her own. She wasn't sure what would end up happening between them, but for now, it was nice just to enjoy being in his company. If the height difference made her uncomfortable, it didn't show. She listened to the music a moment, then began to move in time with him at the next beat.

Blank couldn't keep his eyes off Mjrn's as they danced. His head tilted a little to look up at her, a lazy smile lingering on his lips. She made him feel so happy. Just being near her increased his mood so much. He never felt lonely when she was nearby.

For a moment, Mjrn wondered if her impulse decision was a mistake. Would dancing be too awkward, now that she knew? Should she have advocated another idea instead, one more likely to give them a break from such thoughts? But...looking at smile of Blank's, Mjrn's worries subsided. He was happy, at peace. Seeing him such was definitely worth a dance or two. And so a soft smile formed on her lips as she looked back at him, content to dance as long as he wanted.

"You're a really good dancer, Mjrn." So wonderfully elegant and naturally graceful. She looked beautiful when she danced -- well, she looked beautiful all the time, but that was beside the point.

Dancing and charming the ladies had been taught to Blank by Baku and Marcus early on. It was a useful skill when winning over a woman and robbing her blind. But with Mjrn there was no acting, only true, real emotion.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Mjrn felt the heat rise in her cheeks at that, grateful that she had gained that skill while in Gaia. Natural grace helped, but so did all those balls and other events that taught her how. Her smile grew self-conscious, though pleased.

"Thank you. You are, as well." And she meant it. Blank seemed to know what he was doing, and that in turn made her more confident. She didn't have to worry as much about awkwardness, in that case. He made it very easy to move along with the music and forget about everything else.

A blush lingered on Blank's cheeks as they continued to dance. As the song came to an end, Blank took a step back from Mjrn, and gave a polite bow. "Thank you for allowing me the honour of dancing with you, Ms. Mjrn."

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Mjrn bowed in kind, a warm smile on her lips as she straightened afterward. "The honor is mine, Mr. Blank." She glanced around as the music wound to a close, starting up again a moment later with another tune. "...I am not familiar with this one." And she wasn't sure if she could so easily mimic the movements, either. There was a questioning glance to him; if he wanted to stay, she wouldn't object, though she was certain to enjoy the festivities with him regardless of whether or not there was more dancing.

Blank noticed the unease in Mjrn's glance and took her hand, giving the back of it a polite kiss. "Perhaps a drink to refresh us after such a dance?" He didn't want to make her uncomfortable in any way.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Mjrn smiled, nodding quickly enough. "Aye, that is a welcome idea. Let us go." She turned away from the other dancers, prepared to sit somewhere and relax instead.
