Sableye scuttled back to Roxanne gleefully, being scooped up onto her shoulder once again. The punk trainer patted him.
She soon found herself munching on small treats and speaking as fancifully as she could to young men who introduced themselves. She paid them no mind, really. The attention fell off of her like water on a duck.
She eventually took out her camera and began snapping photos of the party. The expensive looking decorations, the beautiful women in gowns, and the people playing music. She hoped that someone would want to buy a few for some newspaper.
She began to take a photo of Brooke and Soren, but put her camera down before she took the shot. They'd both been too kind to her, so she let them have their moment.
Finding a chair, she sat down, taking a sip of champagne and enjoying the slight buzz it gave her. She watched the dancefloor, amused and happy.

Evie blushed at his complement, quelling a little fit of girly giggles she managed to chomp down on her lower lip and gaze down for a moment to compose herself, eventually the moment passed and she felt less abashed. She looked up with a smile, her cheeks a little flushed as she planted a light kiss on his cheek, "Thank you Seth, you're very sweet."

Brooke laughed, "Roxanne's a good kid, besides, if it weren't for her we'd probably never been able to dance the whole night. And well, it's christmas, and we can't have anyone avoiding one another." She glanced over her shoulder to see the girl over the side with her camera, about to snap a shot of them - which made her heart feel as if it had stopped for a moment - until she lowered it again. Oh Roxanne, you've just soared in Brooke's books!
She snorted at Soren's compliment, "Me? Looking lovely, my Soren that sounds like a compliment. A genuine one too, is there something the matter? Fever perhaps?" Brooke retorted, he wasn't the only one out for a bit of mischief.

Terrance grinned at Lumine when she began to dance with him, "Very well thanks. I won't lie, I hadn't intended on making it tonight, I turned down the professor and everything expecting business to keep me out in the wilds. Turns out business wanted to come here instead last minute." He threw a scornful look over his shoulder to the group of men who were laughing and joking at the side, obviously his work colleagues; looked like rangers most of them.
He turned back to Lumine, leading her through the dance, "And how're you Miss Divina? I hope I'm not making Ignus jealous for snatching you for this dance." He flashed her a wicked grin.

Soren nearly flushed at the Professor's witty retort, but he hid it with a sly smile as they continued to dance. He pulled her into a tight spin with a slight dip at the end and laughed. "If I have a fever it's only my burning affections for you." he fired back, pale eyes gleaming as he drew her back upright and led her back into the standard waltz pattern.
The song ended and Soren stood back with a low, gentlemanly bow and placed a kiss on the back of Brooke's hand. "That was a pleasure," he purred, though his smile was sincere, if a little playful. "Thankyou for coming Brooke."
People started filing off the dance floor, while other stayed, a few switching partners with raucous laughter as they awaited the next song. Soren turned in time to see Sarra skipping through the crowd with a bright grin on her face, laughing as her father swept her up into his arms. "There you are you little rascal," he chuckled. "I thought you were in the parlor with the twins?"
"Nathaniel sent me to fetch you," Sarra said. "Something about double checking the list for accommodations - oh and cousin Rosie wants a dance."
"Right, right come on then," he said with a mock sigh. He turned back to Brooke and gave her hand a quick squeeze. "I do hope we get the chance to see each other again tonight, but if not do make sure to enjoy yourself Professor."
With that he set off to find his head butler and his wayward cousin with Sarra in tow.

Lorna quickly excused herself from Cassandra once the waltz was over with the promise that they'd most certainly talk later. The biologist was quickly becoming fond of the young Rathbone woman, but first she wanted to tease Brooke - it was a favourite pastime of hers afterall. Once Soren had left with his daughter in tow Lorna snuck up beside the Professor and gave her a nudge. flashing her a wicked grin as she did so. "My, my that was certainly an improvement from last time - and I daresay you looked like you were having a good time," Lorna practically cackled. She was going to get so much Hell for this later, but right now it was worth it. She chuckled and nudged her younger colleague again. "Shouldn't torment the poor man, at least give him a kiss eh? Nathaniel's got mistletoe strung up everywhere, should't be too difficult."((Lorna's got a death wish, 'nuff said ))

Lumine blinked looking over at the rangers, then sighed as she danced with Terrance. "I see..." She allowed Terrance to lead her through the dance, making sure not to trip on his shoes.
Upon hearing the question about Ignus, she glanced over at the Explorer at the buffet table and shook her head. "Well, not really...Ignus would only get mad if you did something to upset me...because then you would expect a punch in the face." She giggled, then looked serious. "That wasn't a joke..." She then heard the song end, and curtsied to Terrance. "Thank you for the dance, Mr. Fletcher. I'd better check on Ignus..." She blushed a little, then made her way through the dance floor over to the buffet table, smiling at the Explorer. "Hi, did you miss me?"

Ignus just sat at the buffet table until he saw Lumine walk over to him, then smiled and finished the delicacies he was munching on, and stood up, brushing the crumbs off his vest and onto the plate. "So much I wanted to sweep you off your feet." He then chuckled and took Lumine's hand. "Come on, let's go check the rest of the mansion." Once Lumine agreed, Ignus walked out of the ballroom with her and around the mansion, happy spending time with Lumine.
