let the celebrations begin!

The last light has faded. The bonfire is lit and the fireflies are glowing merrily. The scent of wood-smoke is in the air. Three of the identical serving men have taken up instruments from the bower and have begun to play, varying between soft ballads and dancing tunes. By the fire, a large silver pail holds small, glittering crystals ( Read more... )

[There is a young blonde woman making her way to the setup cautiously. Caution, not because of being afraid, but watching her step. She seems to be having an utterly awful time walking and keeps leaning too far forward and tripping.

Finally she makes it to a table and plops gratefully on a bench. She would love to talk to the musicians and see if she could perhaps join them in playing- but for the moment she is just grateful to have a seat.

She is clothed in a extremely low backed blue dress. ]

By this point, Malkus has had quite a few glasses of wine in his system and munched into a pomegranate or two, getting his gloves and beak stained with blotches of red. Hello there, Isabella! You've got a plague doctor making his way towards you.

She's not the only one who has a bit of trouble with the way they walk apparently, as the doctor can be seen stumbling a bit with each step. Not for the same reason, of course, Malkus is just a rather clumsy drinker. Small gusts of wind blow around the fellow with each wobbly step, as if they're what's pushing him from side to side.

"H-Hah-Hi there! Greetings miss-...miss-..."

The strange man does an odd sort of small bow, almost falling forward as he does so.

wingsnomore June 23 2011, 06:52:03 UTC

Oh my! This poor fellow seemed completely in his cups.

"It's Isabell-oh! " She gets up and reaches to prevent Malkus from falling forward.

Instead she finds herself doing the same thing!

doctoral_bird June 23 2011, 07:11:43 UTC

"Isabello? Well-....Well that's a rather pretty- D'uha-"

Malkus is cut off, feeling a slight bump against the top of his head while he's still trying to regain his balance mid-bow. Isabella dear, did you just butt heads with Malkus? It's a small bop, but enough to trip Malkus up and send him back on his behind. All you get in response is a muffled laugh from behind the mask.

wingsnomore June 23 2011, 07:24:49 UTC

Isabella's balance was already off and she yelps startled as she also topples to the ground, forward and nearly in Malkus' lap.

"Oww." The bard grimaces and attempts to disentangle herself, which was rather difficult seeing how her center of balance now was farther back than where she's had it for all of her life. "I'm so sorry. Let me just... try and... get up."

doctoral_bird June 23 2011, 07:36:15 UTC

"O-Oh dear, w-well let me try to help you at least!"

The doctor isn't much help, reaching to try and get Isabella on her feet wouldn't really work out if Malkus isn't on his feet either. If he were a bit more sober, he'd be blushing up a storm right now. Oh Malkus you've made yourself look like an ass and you've hardly said two words to the lady!

"N-No need to be sorry, Miss. I apologize for not being able to-...catch you before you fell o-or somethin'..."

wingsnomore June 23 2011, 08:02:21 UTC

"Oh! Oh my!"

Isabella's misplaced balance and Malkus's drunken wiggling about was getting them no where. Isabella rolls to the side and sits down, and laughs. It's a pleasant sound, and full of good humor.

"Do not worry. It is not solely your fault. I can not find my feet either."

doctoral_bird June 23 2011, 08:14:27 UTC

"H-Heh...Well I assure you I'm certainly not always like-...this."

The bird-man couldn't help but smile at the sound of her laughter. Thank god she wasn't displeased at him for being a fool. Drunk legs wont stop Malkus from still trying to get back on his feet though! This time, with the help of the bench, Malkus is successful! He turns and reaches a hand down to Isabella.

"Now, let me properly help!"

wingsnomore June 23 2011, 08:36:44 UTC

The bard grins from ear to ear and takes the offered hand, "Thank you sir. I would have no small amount of trouble on my own with it."

She will try and put as little weight on that hand of his while he helps her up. She does not want to accidently pull him back down ontop of her.

doctoral_bird June 23 2011, 08:47:34 UTC

Malkus wrapped his fingers around her hand rather firmly, not realizing how far he was leaning forward.

"No need to thank me. The pleasure's all mine, miss!"

The doctor stumbles forward a bit, quickly regaining his balance as he grips Isabellas hand and pulls her up a bit faster than he had meant to.

"Wh-Whoop- S-Sorry there!"

wingsnomore June 23 2011, 13:48:01 UTC

Oh. Well crud.

She puts her hands out to stop the forward momentum from his fast yank, in an attempt to stop herself from falling.

She really did fail at it, being balanced forward as she was and she ends up stumbling against Malkus because of it.

"Sorry!"

doctoral_bird June 23 2011, 22:51:50 UTC

It almost seemed to be a contest of who could be the most apologetic for silly things. Instead of answering with another embarrassed pardon, Malkus just laughs as he looks down at Isabella stumbling up against him, nearly tapping her on the head with his beak.

"H-Hello again."

His depth perception sucks right now and he doesn't realize how close his mask is to her face. Because of this, Isabella should be able to easily see two faint eyes looking at her from beneath the lenses. Yes it seems he DOES have a face under there!

wingsnomore June 24 2011, 02:04:52 UTC

"Fancy meeting you here." She giggles playing along.

Then spots the very faint outlines of two eyes within the globes of the white beaked face.

So it was just a mask! She wondered briefly if the man's religion prevented him from exposing his face? But it was a very brief wondering.

"Ah! There!" Finally she found her footing and rights herself. Still, she sways a bit. "Your turn!"

doctoral_bird June 24 2011, 04:47:16 UTC

Nothin' stops him from removin' his mask but a crippling fear of disease, m'lady! With that said, it'll be a rare day when Malkus is seen with a face.

"My turn, then? H-Hah-Right"

Malkus takes a step back, trying to get his balance when he hits the back of his knee against the bench! He's a split-second away from toppling over backwards but manages to quickly plop himself down into his seat instead.

"P-Perhaps that's enough wine for me, tonight."

wingsnomore June 25 2011, 04:42:42 UTC

It's a warm smile she gives you Malkus, "Perhaps you are correct!"

She takes her turn at the seat and plops next to him.

"I hope that you do not feel the pains of this evening, on the morrow!" This is part of the reason why the bard never drinks. Too afraid of what happens in the morning afterwards.

doctoral_bird June 25 2011, 15:52:44 UTC

"O-Oh it's nothing I can't handle! What was your name again, miss? Isabell-..a?"

The truth is, Malkus will be sobbing tomorrow morning, clutching his head. He didn't drink much either, and for good reason. But this is a party and Malkus has never been a very wise doctor! Nothing he'd admit to a lady like Isabella, though.
