Theo Anders and the Black Exaltation[Worm/Exalted][Hiatus]

The two of you stared out onto the floor, Sabah's thumb still rubbing lazy circles on the inside of your bicep.

Eventually though she answers your statement.

"Mmm-yeah. I did."

The two of you share a smile. It was truly a delectable scene. Dean was a cuckold, rather almost a cuckold. The Harpy did say that they had split up, before going off to find Sabah. In the bathroom.

The picture their exit painted left terribly, terribly exciting scene. For all her faults, the Harpy was gorgeous, as was Sabah. And then little Vista working herself as she stared in blushing and aroused awe.

You shook the daydream from your head, and twisted the two of you about, as to conceal what you wanted to show Sabah.

You pulled the plain, still wet thong with Panacea's information on it out. Her phone number and her e-mail. She was quite the quick fingered young lady.

"I fear that I wasn't as cozy with Amy as you were with her sister, but I did get a souvenir and a date out of it."

You put it away, right back where Amy had placed it. But your triumphants smirk was matched by Sabah's who reached into her pocket and pulled out a very small piece of white fabric. It takes a moment to recognize what it was. A g-string. Not just a g-string, but an 'open' one. How lewd, how daring of the Harpy.

It looked of as high a quality make as such a thing could be, with gold-coloured threading. It certainly wasn't a piece found at an inexpensive boutique.

"Well now," you tip your proverbial hat, "I guess she wanted something a little... risque to show her boyfriend and you managed to claim it for your own."

You and Sabah turn back around and look at where you can see Amy being tugged along by her sister across the floor. The two of them making a beeline right for their family. There was something delicious and delightful about knowing that two attractive females were heading right for their family, a little less pure than before, wearing nothing at all under their dresses.

But then again... that wasn't an uncommon thing this night. There were a fair number of ladies walking about with no underwear.

"Mmmm-yeah. Date, too," Sabah said as she oozed smugness and kept her lazy gaze locked on the rump of Victoria Dallon. She was enjoying this as much as you were.

You spy the mayor holding court in a more public setting. Your family stands to one side of his, while the Stansfields stand on the other. Obviously engaging in politics. Dean is standing near his family, looking a little put out.

And so the Dark Prince and his Courtier cross the dance floor, slowly, lazily, eventually arriving at their destination, where Jessica makes sure that Sabah is alright.

"I'm fine, I had a glorious recovery," is Sabah's answer, cutting just loud enough across the conversation that Dean hears. The young man stiffens and glances your way.

"Theo Anders," he says blandly, "Not going by 'Nemo' anymore?"

"Not when the game is over and the prize won, Mr. Stansfield," you reply just as blandly. "I'm afraid you've lost a glorious prize."

"And what was such a treasure to be won?"

"Why, me, of course," Sabah cuts in smoothly, "I'm certainly glorious enough for Victoria to favor me. I made sure she was radiant when she left my presence."

A micro expression flits across Dean's face. A sneer. But his bland face returns.

"Victoria is solidly in the heterosexual camp, Miss?"

"What does her sexuality have to do with anything, Mr. Stansfield? My dear Sabah is a fashion designer, well versed in clothing and make-up. Why," you smile slightly, "when I last saw the blonde Ms. Dallon, she was less a few ounces of cloth and glowing even more than usual."

"You might say, she was satisfied for once," Sabah is hot on your tail with a perfect zinger, pausing barely long enough to let it register what she just said before continuing on, "with her outfit."

His face goes through a few emotions rapidly, again returning to the blank face the two of you customarily wore in the others presence. Before you wouldn't have caught half of it.

Powers were awesome.

"I'm afraid I need to use the gentleman's room. If you'll excuse me."

And with that he was gone. A hand descends on to your shoulder. It's your father's he gives you a quick squeeze of approval, never stopping his conversation with the Mayor. Sabah gives your arm a slight hug. Mrs. Stansfield is giving you and Sabah the evil eye, however. While Mr. Stansfield Sr. is oblivious to the exchange between yourself and his son.

No matter, you have more important things to attend to. Like the party that is winding down.

What Do?:
[] Armsmaster is still in the area(signing autographs strangely enough), but he is due to head out if no one interacts with him meaningfully.

[] New Wave in its entirety.

[] Deputy Director Renick, Dauntless (THE Hometown Hero) and Mr. Calvert have converged together.

[] Aaron and Ophelia have appeared! You had known they were invited and were planning on attending but they didn't arrive with you and you were, probably, previously too busy to notice them.

[] Stay and soak up some political knowledge.

[] You are done with the party, you'd like to go home around now. Aster can be exhausting and you have to watch her all day tomorrow.
