Ghadd Festival

[elegante_events]

Just as promised, deck seventeen has been outfitted for a party. The lights have been dimmed and incense has been lit. A full bar has been set up at each end and center of the deck. Hookahs sit in the middle of clusters of cushions and pillows

[In a desperate effort to not hover over his younger brother, Leonardo has taken to...hovering over other people he knows instead. Plus, if he were to be entirely truthful, it's fun to get their reactions when they hear his voice.

And it's fun to talk to people he hasn't met yet. People react so differently to your average Joe when he's not a giant walking reptile.

Over to the chocolate fountain because well, he's already eating something, he might as well eat something else.]

[betterthanraph]

Yeah.

It might not look good though. Never done the hair-cutting thing before.

[meinxxherz]

[He sighs through an obviously relieved smile. Oh man, he was worried it'd take more convincing than that.]

Yeah, I--I know. Never--never had much hair.

[He paws playfully at the back of Leo's head, then realizes What He's Doing. The hand returns to his side in the next nanosecond.]

B--But, uh, thanks.

Jus'...y-y'know. Whenever.

[betterthanraph]

[Yeah that was kind of weird, and Leo drags a hand clumsily through his hair to muss it up, obviously unused to the motion.]

How about now?

[meinxxherz]

...Now?

Uh--

Yeah.

Yeah, now--n-now--now works.

Now works for me.

[Seriously, you want now? Any reason you'd like to share, there, buddy?]

[Leo senses the confusion and lifts up his hand, wiggling his fingers.] Can't hold scissors with turtle fingers. And I'm not hacking your hair off with a knife.

[meinxxherz]

[Okay, he has to laugh at himself. Way to miss the obvious.]

True.

Uh...

I--I actually got scissors back at, uhm, at my...room.

[He was gonna say "place" and that sounds wrong.

Herz jabs a thumb towards the exit and looks at Leo expectantly.]

[betterthanraph]

Let's go. [Leo grabs a couple strawberries for the road and follows Herz out the door.]
