The hot springs have been specially prepared for this party! The tents and dividing walls have been cleared away, leaving all three of the pools open to view and an open area is set up for a band and a dance floor, as well as three large buffet tables covered in all sorts of delicious foods! There is also a small bar set up at the back of the teahouse. There even appears to be some kind of ice sculpture, it may have been a swan once, but in the combined heat of the clear, warm evening and the steaming pools, it hasn’t fared well.
The host is nowhere to be seen yet, but one of the bathhouse workers, dressed in a plain frock steps up to address the gathered beings.
“Welcome one and all!” says the worker, a small ermine with the Snowmark crest embroidered on her frock, “Lord Snowmark shall be here soon,” she continues, “And invites you all to enjoy the food and drink while you await his arrival!”
Cedric had of course come to attend the party, how could he not? Standing by the buffet table in a pair of robes, he was feeling very self-conscious about the whole affair... although he does enjoy the hot springs. He takes a drink from the table and starts to have a drink as he listens to Ermine, nodding a long and wondering where his captain could be...
Siyu swishes his hips into the scene. It's a hot springs party hm? Well he better be dressed appropriately. The rodent rocks those wide hips back and forth, his silks are white, and thin, they're almost sheer! After all he's expecting to be soaking in spring for most of the night, so he's not really worried about wearing anything fancy, or thick. He mmmms, long hair flowing, it has grown a bit longer, resting almost at the top of his rump. Chest a little exposed as he's only got an obi keeping the thin robe together. Still decent of course, but defintly casual. This is a soaking party after all! The silk is kept off the ground, only by the raised tabi he has, the shandles clicking. "Oh hello everyone!" he chitters and goes to head to the bar! Beer first, and who might be here!
Valor approaches the party, intent on taking a break from the construction of the guild building and having some fun! He's worn his nicest clothing and carried no weapons. Sven was nice enough, he could trust that no problems would occur with the burly puma supervising things. He gives a polite nod to the ermine and sets on two tasks: getting a drink and finding their host, Sven!
Bite has heard of some sort of party, hosted by the feline who probably can't outswim her but seems to be enough of a gentleman regardless of his brawl and demeanor. She rides the pre-arranged transporation to the hotsprings and smiles a she drops out, her cloak cast aside for a tight outfit. The serpent looks around and eyes the pools, and the food readiliy, She waves to those she knows before she begins stuffing her face.
Kalt makes her way into the party, having gotten changed quickly before making her way to the party. A set of black bathing undergarments clad over her, with thin grey cloth wrapped around her chest and hips cover her body. Two dull silver bracelets adorn each of her wrists, along with two clasps around her ankles. The Vixen takes a deep breath as she tries to remember the proper way to act at such a party, as it isn't just hanging around at the bathing pond after all! Her hands gently clasp behind her back as she smiles at some of the familiar faces before offering a wave.
Cassidy wanders in next to Kalt, the dusky furred fennec wearing a light orange dress over her blue tailored swimwear. Her large ears swivel around for a moment as she reaches out to pat Kalt on the back. "In truth... Since it's not seeming like a high society or court party, I'd say just relax and have fun, hmm? Enjoy and be yourself. If you desire, I can give you pointers if I think you're doing something too... Crass, though." She flashes a warm smile to the larger vixen before trotting over towards the food. First things first!
Glein had heard tell of a kind of party that was occurring at a hotsprings, and it was open to several folks. He figured it was a chance for him to get a chance to see how many movers of Firmament he could find, or at the least hear of, and learn more so that he could get a better gauge of the city's pulse. Sadly, he didn't exactly have a lot (read none) of clothing that would fit in at a hotspring party, so he left his cloak with the rest at the front of the place. He figured he stood out, but this once, it might actually work to his advantage.
Both the tables and the bar are well stocked, as is only to be expected from a function managed by Sven Snowmark. The bath workers, all dressed in plain frocks marked with the Snowmark family crest politely serve food and drink to all comers, leaving the guests to mingle around the dance floor and alongside the steaming hot springs.
A small band starts to file onto the far edge of the dance floor to set up their instruments.
Suddenly, a tan and white blur races out of the teahouse, resolving into the nude form of Sven Snowmark himself taking a flying leap into the middle hot spring pool! The huge splash from the hefty puma's less than graceful cannonball swamps the poor beings who made the choice to stand near the water. Sven rises from the hot spring in another splash. "Sven greets you all!" he crows over the dismayed cries of the now wet partygoers around him.
Siyu tisks a little bit as the thin silk is immedietly soaked. He will remove his glasses and set them down, "Well..." he mummers a bit to Sven. "At least you made your enterance Lord Snowmark..." he chitters, the wet silk clings to the rodent's form, hiding nothing now. Slick to every curve. "Well all right, I suppose it's time to take my posistion in the spring...just as long as the servers know enough to refill the beer as I'm soaking." he grins a bit and will disrobe, he was nude under his silks over all. Resting the wet cloth on a chairback to TRY and dry, he kicks off his tabi and moves to the hotspring. Tail flicking and he swishes his hips quickly into the hot spring with his beer. Gliding into the water and ahhhing, "This is nice..." he mummers. He was nude long enough for anyone to get a good look if they so wanted. But he doesn't linger, there's politelness after all, even if it is a social soaking setting.
Valor was fairly close to the pool and gets drenched. "Gah.... Hello Sven! Spectacular entrance!" He congratulates the puma. "Unfortunately.... youve soaked my only clothes...." He chuckles, shaking his head and flinging his mane (and water) all around.
Cedric carries his drink over towards Siyu and Bite, spotting their familiar faces as he awaits Sven's arrival, raising his free hand in a wave and taking a sip of beer with the other. "Evening, both of you! Nice to see you, Bite... it's been a while." he notes with a friendly smiling, seeming genuinely happy to see her here. He looks to Siyu and gives him a nod. "How are you bo..."
Then the badger notices the tan and white blur racing towards the hot springs, and he pinches the bridge of his snout as the Puma makes a big splash, getting the badger and his nice white robes all soaked, his dark-furred body ghosting against the fabric. He looks just a bit annoyed, to put it lightly, as he reaches up to slick his wet headfur back. "Excuse me for a moment..." he says with a polite nod before heading over towards the pool and discarding the robe along the way. The badger stands at the edge of the spring and just looks down at Sven expectantly, arms folded, and dripping wet. After a moment his expression softens and he lowers himself down into the pool and sets his drink at the edge. "Can't go anywhere without making a splash, huh?"
Glein couldn't help but chuckle at those splashed by the jumping puma, crossing his arms as he leans against what appeared to be a pole for hooking the privacy screens. He recognized already Cedric, Gang Xi Siyu... there was the horse that entered the Freelance Inn regularly since he's arrived, and there was the snake lady who'd helped to recover the opera group's instruments... But those were the only ones he saw that he recognized readily.
Bite doesn't seem to mind the splash, looking to Sven and then waving as she averts her eyes to a plate of meats which she has been collecting on a plate. She giggles a bit at all the others responses to Svens unsightly arrival.
Cassidy glances up from her snacking, ears twisting around before she looks towards Sven and his entrance, dabbing her muzzle clean on a napkin. "Well, I'm glad I wasn't near for that!" Finishing up with her food, she starts towards the bar, swinging by for a glass of wine before approaching the hotsprings, letting her orange dress slip off of her shoulders to cascade to the ground before she steps out of it and into the water, easing herself down. "What is the occasion for the party, mister Snowmark? Or is it just a party for the sake of having a party? Because those are always delightful, too." She gives a smile as warm as the water, bringing her glass to her mouth.
Kalt nods to Cassidy as she chuckles gently, stretching her arms some. "Aw, if'n it ain't no big to do then I ain't gonna worry bout the city slickin' an' such." She blinks as she notices Sven come charging out in the nude, tilting her head slightly before the other males begin to Disrobe as well! Well, it seemed the bathing hole ways -were- the ways around here after all, so the Vixen takes the silk off her top and bottom and before she begins to fidget with the actuall top and bottom. "Shit, if'n I'd know it'd just be a in your fur party I ain't have gone an' borrowed this an' such."
"Ha! Da, Sven must make big splash!" the muscled puma laughs at Cedric's chiding, seemingly oblivious to the grumbling of soaked party guests along the poolside. He welcomes Cedric into the water with a playful splash, then strokes gently and smoothly to the side of the pool. He gives a huge, toothy grin to all of the assembled beings and waves to each of the friends he recognizes from around Firmament. Sven leans in to whisper something to Cedric before turning to the two foxes slipping into the pool. "Welcome ladies!" he booms in his thick accent, "Sven wished for a party, so he throws a party, Da?"
Meanwhile, the band has finished their preparations and has started playing a lively tune over by the dance floor.
Siyu is just kinda in the pool then, naked, soaking, drinking beer and listening to conversation.
Cassidy coughs nervously and holds up a hand towards Kalt, her ears going a little more red. "You ah... May wish to not do that. It is up to you, though. And you borrowed that? Tsk. Dear, if you want one made for you, you need only let me know! I'd be happy to go out clothes shopping with you! ... In fact, yes. We should do that sometime!"
Valor looks down at his soaking clothes. "Umm.... Sven.... Is there a place I could get out of these soaking clothes? I dont think I brought anything appropriate for soaking...." He asks, kinda embarrassed but starting to flush from alcohol.
Cedric doesn't seem too angry about the splashing as he starts to relax in the hot spring with a nice, still-frosty mug of beer, sipping from it as he watches the captain swim towards the edge of the pool. He leans in at the whisper and stares for a moment before leaning back in to whisper something back to the Puma.
Glein looks and notices that himself, two of the ladies and one other had yet to enter the hotspring, and figured he'd talk with the girl who sounded like she was definitely not used to high society gatherings like himself. So, stepping away from the pole, he walks over to her, and nods in greeting. "Evening miss." He says, noting what he could quickly.
Kalt is already too late for Cassidy's warnings. Having folded up the top and bottom to set them on the matching silk in a corner, a laugh escaping the Vixen as she turns and shrugs. "Aw, ain't nothin' but your fur an' such Cassidy. Came into the world butt nekked didn'tcha?" She snickers gently, and for once it's aparant how longer the Vixen's fur was, still managing to afford her a semblence of decency. She's quick to wave down some drinks though, taking a firm grip on her glass before taking a large swig. She blinks as Glein comes over and waves slightly. "Evenin' to you fella. Figurin' you're a bit over dressed an' such eh?"
Siyu looks up at Valor and he chitters, "Valor, just hang them on the back of the chair I am sure they will dry by the end of the night. Really it's a hot spring, amoung friends, just strip politely and enter into the spring. It's fine..." he grins some. "No one is going to oogle...well...some might, but as long as you don't linger it's fine..." he laughs some, and sips his beer.
Sven nods as Cedric whispers in his ear, then looks in confusion at Valor and Cassidy in turn. "This is a Firmament thing, Da?" he asks, not understanding why the horse and Kalt should not simply disrobe and join them in the pool. He smiles as Kalt speaks her mind and nods in approval, then he looks to Valor. "Come, Sven will help," the big cat heaves himself dripping from the pool, naked as the day he was born and swaggers up to the ermine who greeted everyone. "Lana," he says, "This Valor is wanting clothes appropriate for bathing? You can help him?"
The little ermine woman smiles and bows to Sven. "Of course my Lord," she says, waving the horse to a tent pitched behind the dining tables.
As Sven turns back to make his way to the pool, he is accosted by a soaked Blackback in dripping finery. "What is the meaning of this!" the skunk bellows, "What sort of stunt are you trying to pull!?"
With a simple smirk and nod, Glein agrees. "Aye, I think I am. But I've nothing else, and only recently arrived in Firmament, so I'm technically still wearing my traveling clothes. So it was either show up nude, or overdressed. At least I ain't wearing my leather cloak right now!" He says, chuckling. "Glein, and your name miss?"
Valor nods and follows the erimine. He keeps his drink and he was buzzing with the alcohol but at least a little warmth had come from the surprise of the cannonball by the naked puma.
Siyu wets his hair fully,dipping his head into the hot, steaming water, soaking it and letting the wet hair rest over his shoulder. Stretching his muscled arms, and then resting them against the edge of the hot spring. His shoulders turn and he just enjoys the warmth, warmth and beer.
Cassidy adjusts her top and huffs at Kalt, folding her arms as her ears twitch. "Yes, well. It'd be unladylike for me to disrobe in public in such a way." She glances towards the Blackback, frowning a little. For now, she's content to stay well out of this, sipping her wine as she reclines in the warm water.
The badger sits back in the tub, looking a little disappointed momentarily as Sven exits the pool. Though... on the other hand, he can't quite keep his eyes off the puma. It's a hard for him to decide how to feel about this. Cedric sets his drink back down on the pool's edge and exhales a relaxed sigh, letting the heat of the pool soothe his lingering aches as he closes his eyes.
That is, until the outburst from the outraged blackback startles him, and he turns his head to see the commotion. He figures he should go and help out his employer and turns to climb from the springs, nude as all get out as he approaches the scene.
Kalt snerks and shrugs as she points to the tents. "You're havin' the option now an' such! Lest you're like Cassidy here, all shy an' such. Ain't like folks are gonna go round bein' all lewd an' such." She smirks as she turns then to pinch Cassidy's ear before skirting off in the direction of the pools. "Aw, M'nekked as the day I were born an' I ain't stopped bein' a lady an' such!" She stops though as she begins to cross near Sven and the Blackback was, turning on a paw to bow to Sven. "Good drinks so far Sven! An' fella, what were you really expectin' an' such? Ain't like he's a local noble an' such... Ain't it bein' rude to not go followin' his example an' such?" The crafty Vixen is then quick to simply slide into the pool with a sigh as she takes another swig and waves Cassidy and Glein closer!
"Sven thinks is being called cannonball, da?" he says, not with a little confusion at the wet nobleman's fury. "For why you are wearing court clothes in the pool?" he asks, "The hot water, it will ruin the silk!" The nobleman's escort plucks at his sleeve and whispers something in his ear, even as Kalt loudly makes her own observations. The skunk looks startled for a moment, before his gaze leaves Sven's eyes and he seems to finally realize both WHO he is talking to, and that his host is entirely naked! The sopping skunk stutters and stammers for a moment before turning and seeing Cedric, also naked, and Kalt dressed similarly. In fact, an overwhelming number of partygoers have divested themselves of their evening wear and are all either nude or wearing minimal bathing clothes. The nobleman looks back at Sven in horror. "I was, I mean," he stammers and puffs, then his gaze hardens, "Oh sod it!" he shouts, "This is disgraceful!" The skunk reels back to strike Sven!
Meanwhile, Valor is led to the small changing tent and offered a soft, white bathing wrap. "Please let me know if you require anything else," Lana, the ermine says, bowing and leaving the horse to change.
Cassidy pokes her tongue out at Kalt as her ear is pinched. "Bah, maybe it's just my upbringing. I was taught not to be unclothed in public. Shameful thing for me! If that's your thing however, by all means! Just uh... When in high society, or intending to be it, it's something that should be avoided! For future reference." She scoots along the pool, coming closer to Kalt. She bites her lip at the scene about to unfold.
Valor looks at the white bathrobe, then hears a the sounds of a yelling.... Brutus? He discards of his attire, making sure to ask the polite ermine to hold onto his sporran which had some money in it. He then stormed back to the pool, hurrying to get in on whatever was going on buck-ass nude.
As soon as he sees the disgruntled nobleman rear back to punch Sven, Cedric growls at the noble, shouting "Don't even try it!" and quickly works some mathemagic on the fly... though he hadn't bothered to come to a party in any sort of combat soul, he seems to have just enough natural talent to manage an unfocused surge of water from the hot springs, splashing both his beloved captain as well as Lord Fussybreeches.
Siyu was half watching the Blackback...after all it's a noble. A noble he's not wanting to tangle with, he's in the pool. He sees the movement, and then Valor comes running out. The rodent blinks a little bit, looking Valor up...and down, blinking again, "Well then..." he says to the nude horse and he raises a hand, "Noble buisness Valor..." he offers a warning.
The drenched Blackback is drawn up short in his punch by the sudden surge of heated water. Spluttering and flailing, he turns to face his assailant with rage in his eyes! "Who do you think you are!?" the skunk splutters, "I will have you in the stocks for this ins-" The nobleman's tirade is cut short as Sven quietly strikes him solidly in the gut, knocking the wind out of his sails. The big puma turns to a group of attendants and waves them over. "Please see that Lord Alouisious Blackback arrives safely home after he is sober," he says, his accent becoming less pronounced as he takes care of court duties.
The silence following as the noble skunk is led away, followed by his nervous looking escort is broken as Valor comes clattering back onto the scene, all eyes suddenly on the nude equine.
Glein sighes, watching some skunk really get livid, only to get soaked. Wonder what the guy was expecting when there was an invintation to a HOT SPRINGS of all places? A prime and proper high court function? Glein himself figured there'd be bathing, though to be fair, he'd expected it to have most folks actually in clothing and not deciding to go nude. He supposed he could as well, it wasn't like he'd be alone. Grabbing himself a mug of ale, and figured he'd suffer being all stuffed up in his outfit for now. Walking over to the pool Kalt had sunk into, he settled on the edge, left knee against the ground under his elevated right knee. "I can at least provide ya both company. Though, I doubt I can be nearly as good a element of company as some high-court folks." He says, pointing to the chaos caused between the two nobles.
Kalt stretches for a moment as she slides through the pool to wrap a arm around Cassidy. "Aw, everybody else 'cept the fussy ones are doin' it. Ain't like nobody got right to blackmail you 'round or nuttin'." She nods gently to herself as she looks around to try and spot where Glein had ran off to, realizing suddenly she had forgotten his request for her name... When she notices the scene with Sven and the blackback escalating, causing the vixen to raise her mug up high as she squeezes Cassidy. "Beat'em up Sven! Ain't nobody go off whoopin' the host!" She blinks slightly as she catches the changing of his accent as she tilts her head for a moment before being distracted by Glein. "Aw, ain't nuttin' like that fella. Names Kalt by the by, an' this is Cassidy Solacious."
Valor sees that the brawl has been cut short and looks down at his nude form. Well, the secret was out. His blood was -very- close to that of pre-uplifted equines, which was evident by his stature and erm.... size. He gets himself another tanker of booze and sidles up to Sven, his ears red but looking otherwise unashamed. "So... what do you think that was about, Sven?" He asks, sipping his booze.
Cassidy gives a polite nod to Glein, flashing a smile before bringing her wine glass to her mouth again. "I suppose you've got a point. But think about what people might say! If word on the street got out that I was seen nude in public..." Her ears droop at the thought. "But maybe. I'm not sure." She leans against Kalt, not seeming to mind having the arm wrapped around her.
Siyu orders another round of beer, just in the hot spring then...
Cedric suddenly realizes what he's done, practically attacking a noble at a party... though with a fairly harmless splash, but still... he could've really done some damage flying off the handle like that. Still, he doesn't feel very much in the way of remorse for it, more a sense of impending doom at the thought of possible punishment. Shaking his head, the badger looks over to the even-wetter Sven and frowns. "Sorry... I didn't mean to hit you with that too. Are you alright?" he asks, tilting his head and giving him a look over.
Glein quirks an eyebrow, and looks at Cassidy. "Solacious? Would I be correct in assuming you've some connection to Lord Angus?" He asked, hoping he wasn't being rude. "Oh, and I'm Glein. Sorry I've nothing fancier to add to my name." He says, sipping at his mug. His mental checklist was growing and it might get interesting keeping track of all the links.
It seems that the Blackback noble was all bark and no bite. Sven sighs a little then looks over at the large stallion that has slipped up next to him. "So! Friend Big Horse has decided to join us!" he crows, giving Valor a slap on his uncovered flank. "Sven thinks that Sweetwater barbarians do not hold their drink well, this is all." The big cat swaggers over to Cedric, "And Sven's crew is most excellent and taking care of problems," he drawls, his accent back in full force, now that he is once again relaxed. The puma snags himself a drink and tosses it back before taking Cedric by the hand and pulling him back to the water, hefting the smaller man in his meaty arms and flinging him into the center of the pool.
A frilled lizard wearing a server's outfit kneels softly by Siyu's elbow, "My I fill your drink?" he asks, lifting a pitcher of beer for the Kangaroo Rat's approval.
Kalt looks to Cassidy and whines gently as she gives another squeeze. "Aw come on... It ain't too much to go askin' is it? If'n they go gettin' mouthy, just sock'em in the jaw an' such right?" She looks back over to Glein and gets a nice wide smile as her tail sways in the water. "Oh! You're a friend of Angus an' such? Ain't too bad either, I just got Kalt to my name an' such myself!"
Siyu nods his head, "Of course of course, go right ahead..." he nods and he holds his tankard up, the rodent smiles at the lizard and looks around, "Seems as if there's not enough people in this water that's so famous. This water I like. Small, can stand up in it, and hot, much better then the ocean..." he'll drink his beer.
Valor chuckles and downs his booze before setting his tray aside before stepping into the pool, his flank warm from where the puma slapped him.
Glein shakes his head. "I've talked with him a couple of times, and he offered to let me join him on a patrol tonight. I figured I'd get there after this party. Being new in town, I'm still trying to figure out where I fit in society." He says, shrugging. "It's definitely a culture shock when I'd lived in Cliffside all my life prior to almost a week ago." He states, nodding.
The Badger beams brightly at the praise and looks away a little flustered, the thoughts of being sent to the stocks being pushed to the back of his mind for the time being. "No, it was really nothing..." Cedric says sheepishly, still looking away from him. Because of this, he's taken by complete surprise when he's led by the hand and then lifted up by the burly feline, meeting him with mild flailing in protest and then quiet acceptance before being tossed gingerly back into the spring.
He resurfaces a moment later, flipping his head back to shake the water from his hair and just calmly swims back to the edge where he left his drink and reaches for it, finishing the rest all in one go to ease his frayed nerves.
Cassidy nods at Glein, offering a smile. "Yes, I'm his cousin." She raises her brow at that, though. "Cliffside, hmm? Don't know many from over there in this city, these days..." Turning her eyes to Kalt, she considers this for a moment before shrugging. "Ehhh. Might as well." The tiny vixen slowly reaches around behind her back, removing her top, first, before her bottoms.
Aside from the one outburst, things seem to be going quite well. Those beings who were not interested in bathing have taken up places on the dance floor, and are taking part in a reel that is quite popular in Firmament right now. Others are gathered around the dining tables and the sorry ice swan has been carted away before it can melt into the entrees.
Siyu's new lizard friend smiles and nods, "I enjoy a dip myself every now and again," he says amiably. "Is there anything else I can get you sir?" he asks.
Sven splashes back into the water next to Cedric, wrapping one brawny arm around the badger and waving with the other for another drink. "Sven prefers the ocean," he says idly, "But hot waters are nice sometimes too."
Kalt eee's happily as she goes to help Cassidy disrobe before giving a nod to Glein. "Angus' a good fella to go knowin'. He'll help you out with what you need doin' if'n you go round treatin' him with respect an' such... An' you best be watchin' his back on this patrol you hearin' me!" She gives a playfull glare to Glein before going to splash water at him.
Siyu mmms "No no it's fine, jsut keep my drink filled, I'll find a coin for you later...ahem, the coinpurse I have on me now can't quite be dipped into..." he winks to the lizard. "So...Just keep me well boozed, the drunke I get the bigger the tip is at the end of the night. I'll just enjoy this luxuary, it's like a constnatly refreshing bath..."
Valor wades over to Sven and Cedric, the water barely making it to his thighs. He gets over to them before squatting down so that he was mostly immersed in the steaming water, waiting for the badger and puma to take notice of his approach if they chose and relaxing in the heated water.
"Yeah, I love it here." Cedric replies, not knowing what to say, looking down at the water and leaning in against Sven's side a bit too obviously. He clears his throat. "I've been here a few times, but..." he looks around at the other partygoers doing their own thing and at the equine's approach he slinks down in the water a little bit as he remembers that he's very much nude. "There're less people 'round usually." he says. "Oh! They make a good cup of tea in the teahouse too, if you haven't tried it yet. Kind of spicy, but I like that about it. Should try it before you both go..." he says, looking between Sven and Valor.
Glein chuckles, not bothered by the water splash. "Well, I didn't leave on the best of notes personally when I left Cliffside. Still, it is a pleasure to know folks who know him. I only hope I can get to know him well enough to make my own decision." He says, nodding.
Cassidy gives a nervous chuckle as Kalt helps her out of her bathingwear, settling back in and folding an arm over her chest as she brings her wine glass back up. "Thank you, Kalt. If I didn't know better from this reaction, I'd say you fancied seeing me in such a way." She gives a playful wink before looking back towards Glein. "Ahh... Well, I suppose that's a good thing. Cliffside doesn't have the best of relations with us."
Sven grins at Valor's shy approach and waves him over, patting the wall on his free side. "Come friend Bighorse," he says, "You will join us, Da?" The big cat takes a drink from a server and knocks it back in one gulp before passing it straight back. "Sven will try this tea," he says to Cedric, "But we will wait until tea house is more, private, da?" The big cat gives the badger a quick squeeze before looking over at Valor. "Sven is seeing you fight the blockade, da?" he asks in his thick accent, "Is not always smart to be catching cannon balls!"
A steady parade of servers circles the pools and dance floor, handing around drinks and hors d'oeuvres now that there employer seems to be firmly planted in the hot springs and they are probably safe from any surprise antics. The ermine, Lana stands at the head of the table, watching the proceedings with approval and keeping a careful eye on Sven.
Valor nods, snagging a drink. "Yeah.... Luckily it was probably a smaller cannon, or otherwise I'd be very much dead." He chuckles, now very warm from booze, the feeling of at lease a dozen eyes on him, and the hot water. He makes his way to Sven's side and says "Name's Valor, if you didn't know. But Bighorse sounds nice too. Almost regal. And hello Cedric. How are you?" He says, sipping his booze and relaxing even more.
Kalt grins and quickly waves down some extra food as she takes a plate to go with her drink. "Aw, ain't like that. S'like gettin' a shy friend to stand up an' such you know?" She turns her attention to Glein and grins gently. "Aw, you ain't gotta worry. You'll be havin' plenty of time to go knowin' folks!"
"That's partially why I'm here, get ot know folks. And most seem overly busy enjoying their own company." Glein remarks, grinning.
"Right, right..." Cedric answers Sven, nodding quickly. "I'll hold you to that promise, Captain." the badger smiles at the well-built feline, resting an arm on his leg. To Valor he nods, "I'm pretty good now. Little sore from my injuries but just about back up to par." he tells the horse, leaning back as he relaxes against the side of the pool. "How've you been?"
Cassidy raises her glass to snag a refill from one of the servers before grinning at Kalt. "I see, I see. I'm not shy, though! It just goes against my upbringing, a little. I've never been so exposed in... Public. But I guess it's not so bad. Or maybe that's the alcohol talking. Either way, yes, Glein. Plenty of time to get to know people, I'm sure."
What an evening! Only one major hiccup. Lana, who oversaw the whole event looks happily over the relaxing bathers and the dancers and the eaters and congratulates herself on a job well done. Until she spots Sven moving from his place in the pool. . .
Sven grins at Cedric and gives Valor a pat on his broad, equine back. "You will excuse us friend Bighorse," Sven says with a mischievous smile, "Now Sven and Cedric must dance!" The big cat jumps up from the water, dragging Cedric with him, out of the spring and over to the dance floor where he throws the two of them into the thick of the ongoing reel, nude and dripping.
Lana shakes her head and presses her face into her palm. That Lord Snowmark was certainly a handful. What a party.
Valor chuckles and hauls himself from the water as well, making his way to the dance floor. A few paws may get crushed under hoof but he is going to attempt to dance! After all, it's what Sven was going and it looked like fun... What better to to than dance and drink the night away....
Siyu just drinks his beer, he's a relaxed, refined asiatic. He'll drink his beer and soak in his hot spring. Just relaxing for quite a while longer.
Kalt laughs loudly as she shrugs and moves to the edge of the pool to set her plate down as she takes some happy bites to be washed down with a swig. "Aw you still sittin on this edge here? Get in already why don'tcha! Wastin' the point of the water an' such you're knowin'!" She snickers and looks to Cassidy as she tilts her head for a moment before nodding. "... Fine, we can go clothes shoppin'... Once. On nuttin' but a trial!"
Glein chuckels listening to the pair. "I'm decent in teh water, but I'm not a huge fan of it. Not enough to jump into a hot spring as it is right now." He says, smirking.
The badger was most definitely not prepared for this, being dragged outside of his comfort zone once more by Sven. Not that he'd complain about it. It's a nice change of pace for him to try things he'd be too shy to do on his own.
Sopping wet, he takes to the dance floor with the broad feline captain and dances close to him, placing his cheek against the other's as he tries to move in time with the music and follow Sven's lead. He nearly slips a few times in the pooling water on the dance floor but steadies himself against his dance partner, grinning in embarassment.
Cassidy tilts her head at Cassidy, grinning. "A trial? Trial of what? But yes, we can do that! I'll take you to the tailor I use and get you some nice things made just for you! I'll pay for it, too! My treat. We'll have you looking dashing, my dear!" She gives another wink and a sip from her wine as she shifts about in the water.
