+ grand ballroom

@❈♚ Taehyung Tepes hearing you use the pet name he's given you all these years makes him smile, and he feels his heart thump in his chest. We're the prettiest all thanks to you and your handsome self. he playfully pats your . I agree, though, I'd love to get out of here as soon as we can. gives you a squeeze and a little kiss on the forehead as the music eventually comes to an end. he looks around the ballroom to meet a few stares and take in his last few glimpses of the palace as he slowly pulls from you, his hands still locked in yours. Go share a dance with our human, I'll finish things up. he gives you one more kiss and then walks out of the ballroom in a manner completely polar opposite to the last one

// n then idk where you wanna go with this, we can just? skip to something else skfkskk

@☪♚ San Sekhmet /my right arm is slung around your body while I roam over your body gently with my left one. I smile softly into our kisses, my hand moves to squeeze yours and I lean in to kiss your cheek after receiving the kiss to my temple./
Sure, we can do that. I just feel like I should get you out of here and soon as possible. I don't want you to be captured in these walls any longer.
/my gaze drifts around the room and I smile gently/
We are the prettiest couple around here, honey.

@❈♚ Taehyung Tepes he follows you to the middle of the floor, hugging you tightly and resting the side of his head against yours. his eyes close, and every so often he moves his head to press a few kisses to your lips. while his head leans on yours and he holds you tight, he gives your temple a sweet kiss. If you must stay here a bit longer just to make sure you can purchase him for us, I will stay with you and him as well, so we can welcome him together.

@☪♚ San Sekhmet Good, I love you being close and I want Tom to get to know you just as you. /thinks about how you are perfect to me and Tom will feel just the same way about you, at least I am sure of that/
Me neither, in general I am not the type to dance but this is a ball and you are my date, my lovly boyfriend who I need to show off. /chuckles and then take yours hand leading you out onto the dancefloor. The music is slow and romantic so our dancing is more of a snuggling on the dancefloor with slow movements than anything else. It feels like only we are around because even with the stares my focus is only on you/
Sounds like a plan to me, we do not need to stay too long here. I think that Tom will need to stay for a little longer but I plan to welcome him into our home once we've settled. How does that sound? We will definitely get to the introducing soon.

@❈♚ Taehyung Tepes he chuckles quietly when you pinch his cheek, and he rolls his eyes. I'll try my best. he tilts his head as you speak, a toothless smile on his face, dimples showing, but when you lean in and whisper about drinking from him, a shiver shoots up his spine, and he stutters a bit, finishing his second one as well. I'm not a big fan of dancing, but if it's with you then it's different. Especially to show us off. he places his glass down and then holds out his hands to you with a loving gaze and a playful tone. And once we've thoroughly flaunted our love, I'll go finish our packing, and you can find our new human. Maybe drop by your suite and introduce him to your boyfriend. he hums

@☪♚ San Sekhmet /my eyes lock with you as you down the wine. I wave for the servant to refill meanwhile finishing my own. It seems as if either I or the alcohol eases you and I am glad that you feel a bit better as the ball must clearly stress you quite a bit/
He will like you, don't keep your distance, honey. /pinches your cheek as you talk about your craziness which for me has never been a thing, you are the most perfect being in my eyes/
His blood tastes fantastic. He was the only human I ever actually enjoyed drinking from. Though, I think I might still prefer yours. /whispers it to you so that the other vampires do not hear what we have been up to. I finish my second glass and then look at you once more/
Do you feel like dancing? I want people to see that you are mine now before we leave the palace for good. Would that be okay for you, honey?

@❈♚ Taehyung Tepes your loving grin eases him and makes him lean into you a bit more comfortably, gently rubbing your stomach before taking the wine into his hand and downing it in one sip. Hmm, I've never met him. Though, I don't see many people, so that's not saying a lot. he chuckles up at you and kisses your cheek. I don't mind. I'll keep my distance for a bit, so he can like me first before I lay all the crazy on him. he playfully nudges you, glancing at you. I like the idea of a permanent source of food

@❈♞ Yan Sheng (H) *shaking his head, he turned to you a soft smile showing on his lips maybe the first honest smile he showed in a long time*
I know you can *sighing he fully turned his attention to you thinking he owed you some kind of explanation as it seemed you were worried for him*
She is treating me quite well I must say I just despise the concept of having someone to control me and strip my powers
*suddenly laughing he turns around to the window looking up as if looking at the night sky though it wasn’t visible*
You know me old friend I’m meant to be free and unrestrained and now look at me a bird in a golden cage smothered with good wishes and good will.

@☪♚ San Sekhmet /smiles lovingly to calm you, I hold you a little tighter to show you that I am with you and that to whoever all these gazes belong, it doesn't matter as long as we are together/
Drinks are always perfect.
/leans into your touch on my back as the servant returns with two glasses of wine handing one to each of us. I take a sip from the red liquid and hum at the taste of alcohol rolling past my lips/
Yes, that's actually something I wanted to talk to you about. There's Tom. I visited him in Realm A quite frequently before and found quite a liking in him. How would you feel about having him with us? I plan to buy him permanently but only if you like my choice and would not mind a human around us.

@❈♚ Taehyung Tepes !

@❈♚ Taehyung Tepes he hums and returns the kiss with one of his own on your lips. he feels the eyes on the both of you as well, but he only stands a bit straighter and walks into your outstretched arm, leaning into your side. We can wait for the drinks, I need a little something in my system and you by my side for this one. he gently nudges your side with slight smile, one arm wrapping around the small of your back and rubbing your side. Have you found any human you're interested in buying, yet, hm?

@☪♚ San Sekhmet /the festivities have never actually interested me so I avoided attending the ball the last few times but after the rumours of what happened last time I do not want to leave you alone. I fix the tie of my suit before entering, I am here alone as I have not met you in your room so I hope to spot you around here. I am about to make my way over to a servant to get some alcohol flowing in my system that is when a familiar scent engulfs me and soon your arms are around me from behind/
There you are, babe. /turns around in your hug to pull your chest against mine. I press a kiss onto your cheek and then reach out for your hand to hold you while I am ordering two drinks for us, the servants disappearing to somewhere after taking the order. I already sense the gazes on us./
Do you want to wait for the drinks or dance first? Or would you rather just stay here?

@❈♚ Taehyung Tepes it's been a whole month or so since the last time he came to the last one, or rather, stormed out and tore up the halls, so he sighs, leaning against the doorframe and looking in. he's only waiting for you, and he plans to stay by your side the whole night, so when he finally sees you, he gives another sigh, this time of relief, and makes his way over to you to hug you from behind. he leans into you and quietly inhales your scent, a pleased hum leaving him. Hi, honey

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory Yibo hummed softly as he let Ely attach the baby's wrap to him. "Don't worry, Ely..." He said softly. He smiled as Ammon was placed in the wrap. His hand unconsciously moving to go beneath the baby's bottom. "He's not heavy at all, Ely. He's so tiny~." He pressed a small kiss to the baby's head before doing the same to Ely.

@❈♞ Wang Yibo The ball was here once more and Ely felt a bit excited yet worried. Now that her baby was here, she didnt want to leave him alone but the good news was that her dear elite had return from visiting his family. " Yibo, slow" she smiled as she had placed Ammon in a baby wrap that was placed on Yibo's chest. She made sure the wrap was clipped well before opening up the door and led the way into the ballroom. " he isnt too heavy right?" She turned to check on her elite

@ξ♞ Kuma Qi °{ he smiled to himself, eyes gazing at the crowd; dancing commenced and he found himself lost within the movements of others }°
Ah... Lamia. They are a reputable house. Very pacifist in their actions...
°{ his voice trails off as he realizes the disdain littering your voice. with a curious glance he looks at you, ruby eyes inquisitive yet he wont pry. }°
You do realize I can still read you, old friend. Your disdain for this turn of events is evident. How does this Princess treat you? Well, I hope.

Humans who didn't get into the auction will be taken back to their realm afterwards. Enjoy yourselves!

@❈♞ Yan Sheng *gazing up with eyes clouded in thought he nod at your words*
True words my friend.
*staying silent for some time he shakes his head returning to the here and now again before answering your question carefully placing each word as to not make himself angry*
I was sired by the house of Lamia they stripped me of my powers and I was presented and a guard to their oldest Princess to form a Sir bound *his voice detached and factional trying to avoid any emotion*

@ξ♞ Kuma Qi °{ he remains silent in the thick of the moment, digesting the words with every syllable, trying to make amends for the time they had lost together. }°
tis both a blessing and a curse, dear friend.
°{ he chuckles lightly, eyes sliding shut as he listens to the instruments play below the tone of voices drifting through the air. }°
what house do you find yourself in the company of?

@❈♞ Yan Sheng *he turned to face you with surprise at your words but stayed silent listening as you keep talking slowly starting to understand your previous words, he once again turns to face the crowd*
Time isn’t kind to anyone. *he let out a sigh and taking a long break just at it seems like he had nothing else to say he turns back to you*
I to don’t think time was kind to me I lost everything dear to me and now people say time is even taking my mind *he snot at that* my mind is still mine but its true time doesn’t make for a kind companion
*face moving over the crowd with another sigh he fell silent after that it was true age was always the biggest enemy and time hadn’t been a kind companion to him*

@ξ♞ Kuma Qi °{ the next question has him confused... he is unsure of how to answer such things. his mind goes blank for a moment before he turns to face the crowd beside you, the look on his face forlorn. }°
i do not know whether he does or does not. and i would care not to find out. what i do know is that i spend most of my time away from his... or anyones... side.
°{ a genuine smile tugs at his lips with the tone in your voice, hands folding together in his sleeves as he watches the crowd go by. }°
the mind plays tricks on ones as old as us. i am fairing well... though time may not have been so kind with me as it has been with you. i fear my time is coming to an end, though. i am weary and i need to rest. what about you?

@❈♞ Yan Sheng *turning his head, he gave you a one over again nodding* I see. He treats you well? *the growl in his throat barely held back as he thinks about the fact that you and him now have sirs*
*with a laugh he shook his head looking at you with an expression that showed slight pity but mostly just contempt* How can I be an illusion? I’m flesh and blood like I have always been
*looking at you with a shrug he tilled his head as if wondering about something* It really has been a long time how have you been old friend?
*finally stopping with the teasing he starts showing real interest in your current conditions*

@ξ♞ Kuma Qi °{ his features, usually set in stone, seemed to take on a more surprised tone. his brows rose slightly at the underlying growl to the question, a soft heat blooming on his face. it had been so long since he heard that tone and it took him back to a simpler time. gulping softly, he answered. }°
it was Viktor.... the first of the Tepes family. But as of late, it is the eldest Tepes Prince who holds my bond.
°{ schooling himself he smiles lightly, knowing full well that if you wished to talk about it, you would. with a knowing nod he shudders softly under the heavy hand on his shoulder, jaw slackened but a bit as he hoped the image before him was not an illusion. }°
please do not be so playful, Kuma... it has been years since i last saw your face...

@❈♞ Yan Sheng *holding back a laughed when he sees you stare at him so intensely.* you do…. who sired you? * the last sentence was more a growl then a question realizing why you look different he can’t help but feel anger boiling inside him taking a deep breath to calm down* I’m doing ok. We probably were bound to meet one day now that everyone is forced here by those four clans as for were, I have been I think it’s best if we don’t talk about it
*he looked at your hand touching him with a stiff smile but still took the chance to make fun of you* Don’t grab to strongly or I might shader into pieces you know how illusions are these days *laughing he let his hand fall onto your shoulder* I’m real stop wondering

@ξ♞ Kuma Qi °{ whether it be a mirage or not, yan could barely believe his eyes. there stood the male he thought he had lost. time was good to him; his face stood still in stone, unchanging. his lips parted but quickly snapped shut as he realized he was gazing a bit too intensely at the other male. }°
i... do i?
°{ whispers softly, a rose hue dusting his cheeks as one hand tepidly pulled through his long locks. his eyes averted elsewhere for only a moment before he looked back at the other male. }°
i could ask you the same, kuma. where have you been? how... why...?
°{ the confusion got to him, especially when he reached out to touch the other just to make sure that his mind wasnt playing games with him. }°

@♙ Lee Donghun Wooyoung's cheeks turned a faint pink. "You kinda read my mind," he admitted, taking the human's hands back into his. "I would love to. I don't mind simple, I just want to be with you as long as time will allow me," he cleared his throat. He didn't mean just today, but the other didn't have to know that yet. "Once we get outside, you might have to lead me again, I'm not great when it comes to directions," he smiled sheepishly, leading the two of them through the palace and to the outside

@ξ♚ Wooyoung Lamia Following the royal, Donghun didn't respond to the words immediately and stayed silent until they reached the hall, returning the hold and laughing a bit. "You want to know which window to go with? Why don't you stay the night to get to know my place? Nothing fancy but still.. we would have more time this way."

@♙ Lee Donghun "I stumbled upon your realm once without guards, I should be fine," Wooyoung smiled brightly at the human, and he slowly moved to wrap his arms around his waist. "Besides, everyone is either living here for a bit, or they've already gone home," he added. He slow-danced them off the floor and out into the hall, then stood still, holding the other tight. "And that way I know which house's window I should sneak into when I come to see you tomorrow," Wooyoung let out a mix of a giggle and a chuckle. He had half a mind to ask to stay with him in the realm for the night, but he bit his tongue to hold it back

@ξ♚ Wooyoung Lamia It was obvious that they had to part, leave the place and say their goodbyes until they might meet again if they're lucky enough. Who knew if the human was still alright or if the vampire found another person to be comfortable with by the time they would see each other again. "Sounds like the best option.. is it okay for you to leave the event as well as the palace? No need for guards?"
