Lana perked up again at how easily Victor agreed. He hadn’t even set the terms on his side of things yet. It made him feel wary even if this was the ideal situation for him. This was far less stressful than earlier. Contracts were good, Ruslan. Not that he knew that much about it, but if he was setting the terms then he’d make sure he could read it before agreeing to it. He felt himself blush a little, glancing back at the Minior, at the stars, at anything to avoid making eye contact. He played with a piece of his hair as his mind immediately went the unspoken and unaddressed conditions of their agreement. A few things he was aware of, if only slightly, but had purposefully ignored. [break][break]

“I-I…I’m not s-sure the extent of w-what you want with me, but regardless, I w-want b-bonuses for…e-every…” No. Nope. Not here. He couldn’t say this out loud. He’s more frustrated than anything, his eyes flaring red and his shoulders hunching up. He could barely hold a conversation much less address business like this. “Victor,” he finally deigned to look up at his patron once more. “I-I’ll write s-something up later…” he said more or less dropping the conversation at the moment. Ruslan fidgeted under his date’s gaze perking up only after hearing Dr. Holo’s announcement. He heard something go off, and the lights began to dim. Instinctively, he moved closer to his date’s arm, eyes moving towards the sky with barely hidden excitement. “It’s starting soon.” Lana said quickly, his voice clear for once as his attention locked in with what was happening. The embarrassment of talking about his work disappearing instantly.

after a sip to cool off, he turns to serena.

"uh..."

danny struggles a little, hesitating as he considers his words carefully. but no matter what he says, there's no changing the fact that he messed up.

"i kinda told him i was joining rocket. it was stupid of me to and it was a mistake, but i just wanted to be honest with him because he's my friend."

Greyson Connors still is his friend even if he's the only one who still feels that way.

"and he hates all rockets, so..."

“Ahh, thank you Bo.” He said taking the glass form the ginger and trying not to slurp his yellow martini down too quickly. “I’ll confess, I’m not from Hoenn originally. And where I’m from this was hardly a type of event we had. Galas- sure, yes, but not mass meteor shower parties.” He said lapsing into memories from a million years ago. “It’s a quaint idea to make such a large spectacle of but it’s nice.” He added, tasting the sweet and sour tang of his cocktail. He clapped lightly catching sight of their pinker friend twirling with an ensemble of Miniors before letting out a small laugh with his friend. “I’m imagining it might look something like fireworks.” He stated. [break][break]

He let out an even louder laughs as Luka reached out to fix something on his face. Gods, was he already getting sloppy? Perhaps this would be his last drink of the night lest he wanted a repeat of the Festival of Champions. A night of which he only vaguely remembered because he filmed part of it while sitting alone at the bar. And then he felt a gentle tap at his shoulder, and he turned curiously more than happy to play with another Minior. Soft, green eyes widen with as he takes in his old friend. “Arty! You look so handsome! Positively radiant even.” He said the words spilling out so easily. An iron will was the only thing that kept him from crying as he moved in for a desperate hug, just barely angling away his face so he wouldn’t smudge make up on the poor man. He hadn’t seen him in so long, and even after their reunion things had been tense, almost cold. But the care and space Mint typically afford his best friend were gone, melted away by the haze of alcohol now clouding his brain. Mint pulled away just as quickly, swept up in the excitement of it all. [break][break]

His eyelids flutter for a moment as he processed Artemis’ gestures before reaching over and pulling him by the hand. “Luka, Bo, lemme introduce you. This is Artemis, my closest friend.” He said turning back to the girls that were accompanying him. It’s a miracle nothing spilled from his glass so far. Mint tipped his glass back to continue drinking. “A little shy, but always lovely company.” He added.
