A Night of Revelry (OPEN)

"Oh?" She said, laughing to herself before nipping at the girl's ear lobe. "I do suggest we leave the balcony before this goes any further."

Claire let out a long sigh, casting a brief glance across the skyline. "I-I... I d-don't want to go inside... It's a nice n-night, and I don't... I n-need to calm down first..."

Jasmine laughed, "I'll let you go for now then." She stepped away from her, smoothing her dress out and returning to the railing.

Claire came up beside her, letting out a sigh, the color draining from her cheeks. She laid her hand over Jazz's, much as she had when she'd come out here. Some time later, she gave her hand a squeeze, and nodded. "A-Alright...I'm ready."

Jasmine looked over at her and smiled, taking her hand and leading her back to the main ballroom. "We should probably get food, if there's even any still left..."

Claire nodded, letting Jazz guide her by the hand. She looked over the ballroom, seeing Sarah dancing with who she could only assume was Ace. She hurried up to walk beside Jazz, pointing to Antonio by the buffet. "There's Tony... Let's go say hi..."

She nodded in agreement, leading the girl over and tapping Antonio on the shoulder. He looked back at them, smirking before giving an exaggerated bow. "Ladies..." Jazz promptly punched him in the arm.

Claire gave a small wave, bowing her head towards him. "Good evening, Antonio... Sorry for skipping out like that... How is everything?" She gave Jazz's hand a quick squeeze, blushing softly.

He shrugged, "Ace and Sarah are dancing, the food's great, and I haven't picked up a single chic."

Jasmine rolled her eyes, "That boring, huh?"

Claire moved away from Jazz, looking over the food. She tentatively grabbed a strawberry from a dish, eating it. She let out a soft, semi-delighted sigh. Perfectly ripe and deliciously sweet.

"I try to keep other people as far away from me as possible. Acting the way that I do works." He frowned slightly at her comment, though he couldn't argue."I suppose I could open up to a few people. I can't afford to lose another meister, so I guess you're one of those lucky few." Ace's voice seemed to be a bit more emotional, but, as always, his face was like that of a statue; the pink had also faded. "Which is why I'm here, with you, now."

Sarah shrugged at that, though she smirked a bit. "Well, I assure you that I feel very special." It was obvious from her tone that she was sarcastic, though she laughed softly afterwards, patting his shoulder.

Jasmine rolled her eyes, moving past Tony and grabbing one of the sandwiches. He laughed, grabbing plates and filling them with food for the girls before sitting down at a table and gesturing them over.

Claire loaded a plate up with various fruits until she came across a platter of chocolate covered strawberries. She practically drooled, loading up a decent number of them before hurrying over to Jazz's table, looking a little embarrassed.

Antonio raised an eyebrow at her, "I... Already grabbed food for you both." Since there was so much, though, he went ahead and grabbed another sandwich. Jasmine laughed as she came over, balancing three cups of punch before setting them down.

Claire lifted her plate to him, smiling sheepishly, her cheeks blushing from embarrassment. "Y-Yeah, but... Chocolate covered strawberries." She came up behind Jazz, pulling out a chair for her to sit in, smiling at her girlfriend.

Jasmine smiled back at her,mkissing the girl's cheek. "I hope you plannto share those." She said, handing her one of the drinks.

Claire took it, sliding into her own seat and plucking one of the strawberries from the plate she'd brought, offering it to Jazz. "Of course..." She gave a sweet but reserved smile, blushing from the kiss.

"Yeah, I'm sure everyone is that excited about being with me." As their dance was finally coming to an end, Ace released his grip on Sarah, and went to shove his hands in his pockets as fast as he could, returning to his usual, slouched state.

Sarah smiled at him, slipping her arm through his. "Hey, how about we go and get some food. Or some drinks."

Jasmine smirked, leaning over and biting the strawberry while Claire still held it. Her eyes stayed on the girl all the while. Antonio rolled his eyes, excusing himself to prepare plates and drinks for Ace and Sarah, noticing that they'd stopped dancing.

'Food when ya want it.' He texted

Claire flushed as Jazz bit the strawberry, keeping her eyes on Jazz all the while. She took what remained of the strawberry and set it back on the plate. "W-Was that... N-Necessary?"

Sarah pulled her phone out reading the text and scanning the tables. She found them, looking towards Ace. "Do you want to sit with the others?"

"Only if you want to." Ace already knew what she was going to say to him, but he figured it would be courteous of him to ask anyways. Perhaps I am enjoying her company.

Jasmine grinned, saying nothing but winking at her instead. Antonio rolled his eyes, taking out his phone and playing a game, waiting to get a text from his meister.

Claire pulled out another strawberry, biting it and letting out a happy sigh. She set down the last little bit of the strawberry, smiling a bit before grabbing her drink, sipping it.

Sarah tugged Ace towards the table, smiling. "I think you'll like Claire. Just don't upset her, or I'll make you feel pain so intense, it will make any and everything else seem trivial." That was spoken jovially, though that made it all the more terrifying.
