He idly reachs into a pocket to feel the tooth that's hidden in there, a bit of a prize, but he considers, "I wonder if the artist even saw the Levithan.." he glances at Angus and smiles, "How are you Lord Solacious, out enjoying some art. Planning on bidding on anything today?"<br> <br>Rahn's face splits in a brilliant grin as he sees Angus as well as Siyu. "Hello my friends," he rumbles, then looks up at the unveiled statue. It is a remarkable piece, though he cannot vouch for its accuracy. "I've never seen anything like that," he says, "Is there really something like that swimming around out in the bay?"

The short rodent glances and sees who's coming up over towards Angus, tilting his head a bit. But nothing saying anything. Not his buisness yet. <br> <br>Angus pats Kalt on the shoulder a bit as he nods, regarding the stattue curiously. "...I hope to never encounter that creature." He murmurs aloud, before he is greeted boy the Parrot. "Ah, good evening Jimme." He greets as he gives a half bow to them. "I am doing rather well to be honest, how are you?" He did not think he would have to actually strike up small talk, but it seems he was actually roped into it..<br> <br>Rahn leans down a little to Siyu. "Who is Angus's lady friend," he says quietly. Well, quietly for Rahn. Even whispering, his deep voice carries further than he might like. "I don't think I have met her before," he rumbles.<br> <br>The parrot smiles and says "Well fine myself, but I do have a problem. Maybe you'll help me out?" he asks with a wider smile. "I've got quite a few contracts with the strongheart house, you know what don't you? Well maybe you'd be interested, I have a little surplus and you know it's good stuff. Weapons, cold, hard, deadly." He looks to Angus for any signs of interest. A few people murmer and point to Angus and Kalt, a little gossip going here and there. A woman approaches Kalt with a drink in hand, a little flush she is, well dressed. The hagfish eyes Siyu and smiles. "Hello there! How are you today?" she says, when a opening in conversation pops up.<br> <br>Kalt flicks her ears slightly more as she looks around before smiling to Siyu. "I know, ain't too terrible if'n we just got one runnin' round to worry'bout." She nods to herself before she begins to look at the crowd, ears pinning some from the pointing before she clears her throat and looks to Jimme, blinking as he's talking about weapons... This snags her attention easily, helping her to not focus on the gossipers.<br> <br>Angus blinks a little in surprise at the offer. "Cold, hard steel blades? We could always use more swords for our new recruits to learn on yes, would you like to set something up?" He offers as he tries to keep up with the whispering, and who is pointing at whom as his ears flick and looks down to Kalt, squeezing her arm gently before letting her go to focus more on Jimme.<br> <br>Siyu glances back up at Rahn, "Oh it's...ahem, that's Kalt, she's part of the Solacious House Guard." he grins a bit at the Rhino though, ear to ear, correctly identifying Kalt, but still feeling slightly vindicated. He is suddenly brought out of his thoughts by the Hagfish? A Hagfish? Oh my. He smiles and bows his head, his hair whisping around his head, "Greetings and salutations. I am Gang Xi Siyu." <br> <br>Oh. Society. Oh no. Rahn takes a little step back, almost like he is trying to hide behind Siyu. Maybe if he is fortunate, everyone will think that he is the little merchant's body guard and will ignore him. Creators forbid the socially inept priest should get drawn into conversation! Rahn rubs a finger along his engraved gorget.<br> <br>Jimme grins and nods. "Why I bet that would be profitable for both of us. Would you like to discuss it elsewhere, perhaps? I see you have a elegant flower witht you, I wouldn't want to keep you from tending to it too long." he says with a happy tone. "Just a time and a place, we can talk about it then and there if you like." he offers. The hagfish takes another drink of wine, emptying it before she looks at it a little sadly. She then perks up and smiles. "Why what a charming name, I'm Glaydia Sorlu, I run a high end jewlers." she says as she moves a little closer to the small rodent. "You're quite handsome, oh tell me your secret." she teases as she does so. Rold comes bouncing back in as a few guards take up the doors, slapping backs occasionally and offering smiles and mirth where he can. He moves towards the center of the room and says "Let the viewing begin!" as he raises his hand, and as he does a few workers begin declothing various works of art. A chair of iron, dragons coiling the legs and back, a statue of the good king, and a fine painting of red and browns depicting a rather heated battle, among other things.<br> <br>Kalt blinks as she's let go and glances around for a few moments, feeling like she was standing on mossy stone with only a twig at the moment as she purses her lips and thinks for a moment before scooting slightly to move closer to Rhan as she dips her head and offers her hand. "Erm, hey there, M'Kalt... You're lookin' like a friend of Siyu's an' all yeah?" She blinks somewhat as Rold comes bursting in, blinking some as the art was unvieled and she takes a few steps back to Angus... Though is still close enough for conversation with Rahn thankfully as she glances between all the pieces with eyes that say '... art'.<br> <br>Angus cocks an eyebrow as he smiles. "Yes, it could be profitable for both of us." He answers as he makes a mental note to have someone come along to make sure this steel Jimme sells is as good as he says. "As for my elegant flower I do not believe she needs tending to, her thorns are long enough to prick any that wish to try and grab her." He counters as he looks over to the art that is being revealed, clapping softly in appreciation at the creations of Rold.<br> <br>Siyu is left with a Rhino standing behind him, looking really. But...oh dear, is the woman drunk? He's not quite sure what to do but be polite, "Ahem, oh, why thank you. Heh, I don't often get Handsome, pretty, beautiful yes, but not handsome, I'm glad you think so." he offers with another smile and a bow, "My...secret? I am unsure what you mean..." he mummers as he'll politely converse. Giving a glance back up towards Rold as he unveils art, seeing if anything may catch his eye.<br> <br>Rahn reaches out and gives Kalt's extended hand a firm shake with his enormous, meaty fist. "A pleasure, Kalt," he rumbles in his deep, booming voice, "I'm Rahn." The rhino looks sidelong at the being accosting Siyu, ready to intervene if necessary. He looks around at the unveiled works of art. "Did our host make all of these pieces?" he asks. The Walrus had not struck him as much of an artist. Most of these things were far too large and gaudy to be of any real interest to the austere rhino.<br> <br>At the warehouse doors approaches a badger, dressed casually for a party in his best orange vest, halfway buttoned and a pair of tight black trousers. On his back is a guitar slung across his body by a wide decorative strap. Just below the guitar on his back is his travel pack, a purple and green hat's brim sticking out from it a bit, as he still finds the puzzler's pimp hat a bit too gaudy to wear. ANYHOW! Parties aren't usually Cedric's fort�, but he's decided to make an attempt, for once, to socialize with others, trying to discard his nervousness as he makes his fashionably late entrance to the party. He feels somewhat uncomfortable without all of his heavy armor, like... people can actually see his face! He stops by the drinks section of the table and helps himself to a quick drink to help him relax, and takes a few deep breaths, casting off the rest of his anxiety. After he feels more relaxed, the Graceful Clan badger walks slightly more confidently towards the rest of the beings gathered, with a friendly wave, in an attempt to immerse himself into the festivities and view the works of art currently being unveiled. |

The warehouse doors wide open grant entry into a low roar of talking as good folks get to converse amongst themselves. The interior is coated with cloth covered mysteries which are gathered around with interest, though the long and generous table of foods and drink get a large portion of everyones attention. Outside the doors stands a large heavy can Walrus, tweaking his whiskers occassionally as he greets everyone who walks in happily, telling them all a rather tired out old joke and then laughing heartily about it. "Come on in! Those who have attended my partys before, I welcome you back heartily!" he says with a smile. "Great deals, think Rold!"
Kalt works her way to the entrance of the party, clad in... Unusual dress. For her that is, given that she's actually wearing a -dress-! It was borrowed from some aparantly, given the slight last minute alterations but it seems the girl actually understood it was bad manners for a lady to show up to a art show in pants.... Her hair that was usually tied back in a tail, was left washed and hanging down around her shoulders with a small flower set in it. The Vixen fidgets with a few metal bracelets as she approaches and bows to Rold, smiling at some of his jokes due to her own poor humor, before going to make her way inside to stand off to the side of the entrance and look over the party as she takes a deep breath.
Angus is not to far behind Kalt, giving the Walrus a nod in greeting as he listens to the joke...Even the young noble himself had decided to dress up for this, a waist coat pulled over his usual silk shirt and an elegant leather collar covering the scars of his throat to make him look less intimidating as he steps up beside Kalt. "How are you hodling up?" He asks her as he looks over the room to see if he could regonize any of the other viewers at the gallery.
Siyu smiles and makes sure that everything is perfect. He's a well to do merchant now, after all, so he has to have everyhing in place. His long silk coat, fine silk pants, gloves and shirt. All accent and highlight his features. Wide hips, delicate, beautiful face, and long hair. The long flowing black hair rests down his back. Some traditional silver bells have also been added. His glasses polished and the gold of them glimmers. The pleasing, gentle vanilla scent, mixed with jasmine waft around him, soothing and calming as he chats up buisnessmen. He blinks at Kalt chittering, "You look wonderful Kalt!" he compliments her.
Rahn stumps up to the warehouse with a formal, if unpracticed bow to the jovial walrus at the entrance. It felt strange to be wandering free of the cloisters after so many days in quiet meditation. He had hoped to run into someone he knew before arriving at the event itself, and he felt woefully under dressed. Why had he not worn the nice outfit that Siyu had given him? Speaking of. . . Rahn visibly relaxes when he sees the little rodent merchant in all his finery. "Ho! Siyu!" the rhino rumbles as he heads toward the familiar face.
The party is bustling as the walrus attracts more and more folks from all walks of life, be it by art or free food. A few of his employees stand about making offers on imported furniture, a few fine looking chests and dressers stand off to the side, rather fine quality from the looks of them. Rold comes in after a short time and taps some metal against one of his glasses and clears his throat. "WELL! I'm happy to have such a turnout!" he announces as he looks around. "I'll be greeting more arriving guests before you can all lhave the pleasure of my company in full." he says before a few folks laugh at the outright assuredness as he nudges them. "But I'll unveil something for you all to marvel at first! A statue, fashioned after a sea beast reported recently, has been sent to me for your viewing pleasure, it will be for sale at a later date but please, do let your eyes enjoy!" he says as he uncovers a rather peculiar carving of a shrouded beast. Most of it's features look to be that of water and waves, but a few details are spectacular, it appears to be the fabled levithan."
Kalt looks to Angus as she smiles and shrugs gently. "I uh... Ain't gonna be bad an' all. S'just awkward wearin' a dress an' all..." She fidgets for a moment as she looks over the room before speaking back to Angus. "How 'bout you? Ain't checkin' folks you should be goin' an' runnin' from eh?" She smirks before Siyu approaches and she does her best attempt at a curtsy, almost falling before catching herself. "Ah, thank you kindly Siyu. Lookin' dashin' an' well dressed yourself." her gaze snapping to Rold as he speaks once more, falling on the the statue in question with wonder as she remembers to cover her mouth before speaking. "... Ain't thinkin' artists can work fast an' such an' still make it so... Good."
Angus leans up against Kalt and nods, as he looks around. "No no, just looking to see who turned out for this. For example." He starts pointing at a few beings around the place. "For example those few over there are members of the court." He smiles at Siyu as he appears, giving him a nod if greeting. "Good evening Siyu, how are you?" His gaze flicks over to an older Bovine gentleman and the being he is talking to before he notices Rahn, giving him a nod in greeting as well.
Siyu turns and offers a gentle little squeek to the large Rhino, "Rhan, greetings and salutations, what are you doing here? Come to enjoy some art hm? Or thinking of bidding on somthing?" he inquires with a chittering laugh. He glances over to see what's being displayed, a Levithan? He idly reachs into a pocket to feel the tooth that's hidden in there, a bit of a prize, but he considers, "I wonder if the artist even saw the Levithan.." he glances at Angus and smiles, "How are you Lord Solacious, out enjoying some art. Planning on bidding on anything today?"
Rahn's face splits in a brilliant grin as he sees Angus as well as Siyu. "Hello my friends," he rumbles, then looks up at the unveiled statue. It is a remarkable piece, though he cannot vouch for its accuracy. "I've never seen anything like that," he says, "Is there really something like that swimming around out in the bay?" The Rhino shudders. Even more reasons to never ever ever get in the water. Rahn shakes off his dark thoughts and reaches down to pat Siyu on the head with a deep laugh. "I doubt I could afford any of these things my little friend," he says.
The old bovine and who she's talking to part ways, and a slick looking parrot makes his way towards Angus. "Hey! You're a solacious aren't you? How are we doing today?" he asks with a cheesy smile. The crowd around the statue thickens as someone goes over it in their expert opinion, a few others nodding in agreement. "I quite like the sense of mystery. We don't see the whole beast." one lady adds as he drinks some wine. A few people graze over the available foods, one woman coming near profanity when a gentleman drops a wad of meat between fancy delictables onto her fine dress.
Kalt shudders as she thinks about the levithan being in the seas, grimacing some as she mutters about another reason to stay on land. She quickly snaps out of it as Angus leans up against her, the Vixen fidgeting as she returns the lean and follows his pointing with a nod. "Right... Right... So, keep mindin' my manners an' all." She says this more to herself before giving a improved curtsy to Rahn. "G'day sir." She says in greeting before doing the same for the approaching parrot, not realizing her and angus were still leaning on each other when he approached and the implications. Her ears flicker gently as she listens in on the folks talking about the statue, idly looking back to it once more as she let out a slight hm sound. "... Wonderin' if'n they didn't make the whole thing, 'cause they never right an' saw it..."
Siyu glances at Rahn, "Well at least there's only one Levithan, not like you're going to run into 5." he offers with a gentle pat to the rhino's side. The short rodent glances and sees who's coming up over towards Angus, tilting his head a bit. But nothing saying anything. Not his buisness yet.
Angus pats Kalt on the shoulder a bit as he nods, regarding the stattue curiously. "...I hope to never encounter that creature." He murmurs aloud, before he is greeted boy the Parrot. "Ah, good evening Jimme." He greets as he gives a half bow to them. "I am doing rather well to be honest, how are you?" He did not think he would have to actually strike up small talk, but it seems he was actually roped into it..
Rahn leans down a little to Siyu. "Who is Angus's lady friend," he says quietly. Well, quietly for Rahn. Even whispering, his deep voice carries further than he might like. "I don't think I have met her before," he rumbles.
The parrot smiles and says "Well fine myself, but I do have a problem. Maybe you'll help me out?" he asks with a wider smile. "I've got quite a few contracts with the strongheart house, you know what don't you? Well maybe you'd be interested, I have a little surplus and you know it's good stuff. Weapons, cold, hard, deadly." He looks to Angus for any signs of interest. A few people murmer and point to Angus and Kalt, a little gossip going here and there. A woman approaches Kalt with a drink in hand, a little flush she is, well dressed. The hagfish eyes Siyu and smiles. "Hello there! How are you today?" she says, when a opening in conversation pops up.
Kalt flicks her ears slightly more as she looks around before smiling to Siyu. "I know, ain't too terrible if'n we just got one runnin' round to worry'bout." She nods to herself before she begins to look at the crowd, ears pinning some from the pointing before she clears her throat and looks to Jimme, blinking as he's talking about weapons... This snags her attention easily, helping her to not focus on the gossipers.
Angus blinks a little in surprise at the offer. "Cold, hard steel blades? We could always use more swords for our new recruits to learn on yes, would you like to set something up?" He offers as he tries to keep up with the whispering, and who is pointing at whom as his ears flick and looks down to Kalt, squeezing her arm gently before letting her go to focus more on Jimme.
Siyu glances back up at Rahn, "Oh it's...ahem, that's Kalt, she's part of the Solacious House Guard." he grins a bit at the Rhino though, ear to ear, correctly identifying Kalt, but still feeling slightly vindicated. He is suddenly brought out of his thoughts by the Hagfish? A Hagfish? Oh my. He smiles and bows his head, his hair whisping around his head, "Greetings and salutations. I am Gang Xi Siyu."
Oh. Society. Oh no. Rahn takes a little step back, almost like he is trying to hide behind Siyu. Maybe if he is fortunate, everyone will think that he is the little merchant's body guard and will ignore him. Creators forbid the socially inept priest should get drawn into conversation! Rahn rubs a finger along his engraved gorget.
Jimme grins and nods. "Why I bet that would be profitable for both of us. Would you like to discuss it elsewhere, perhaps? I see you have a elegant flower witht you, I wouldn't want to keep you from tending to it too long." he says with a happy tone. "Just a time and a place, we can talk about it then and there if you like." he offers. The hagfish takes another drink of wine, emptying it before she looks at it a little sadly. She then perks up and smiles. "Why what a charming name, I'm Glaydia Sorlu, I run a high end jewlers." she says as she moves a little closer to the small rodent. "You're quite handsome, oh tell me your secret." she teases as she does so. Rold comes bouncing back in as a few guards take up the doors, slapping backs occasionally and offering smiles and mirth where he can. He moves towards the center of the room and says "Let the viewing begin!" as he raises his hand, and as he does a few workers begin declothing various works of art. A chair of iron, dragons coiling the legs and back, a statue of the good king, and a fine painting of red and browns depicting a rather heated battle, among other things.
Kalt blinks as she's let go and glances around for a few moments, feeling like she was standing on mossy stone with only a twig at the moment as she purses her lips and thinks for a moment before scooting slightly to move closer to Rhan as she dips her head and offers her hand. "Erm, hey there, M'Kalt... You're lookin' like a friend of Siyu's an' all yeah?" She blinks somewhat as Rold comes bursting in, blinking some as the art was unvieled and she takes a few steps back to Angus... Though is still close enough for conversation with Rahn thankfully as she glances between all the pieces with eyes that say '... art'.
Angus cocks an eyebrow as he smiles. "Yes, it could be profitable for both of us." He answers as he makes a mental note to have someone come along to make sure this steel Jimme sells is as good as he says. "As for my elegant flower I do not believe she needs tending to, her thorns are long enough to prick any that wish to try and grab her." He counters as he looks over to the art that is being revealed, clapping softly in appreciation at the creations of Rold.
Siyu is left with a Rhino standing behind him, looking really. But...oh dear, is the woman drunk? He's not quite sure what to do but be polite, "Ahem, oh, why thank you. Heh, I don't often get Handsome, pretty, beautiful yes, but not handsome, I'm glad you think so." he offers with another smile and a bow, "My...secret? I am unsure what you mean..." he mummers as he'll politely converse. Giving a glance back up towards Rold as he unveils art, seeing if anything may catch his eye.
Rahn reaches out and gives Kalt's extended hand a firm shake with his enormous, meaty fist. "A pleasure, Kalt," he rumbles in his deep, booming voice, "I'm Rahn." The rhino looks sidelong at the being accosting Siyu, ready to intervene if necessary. He looks around at the unveiled works of art. "Did our host make all of these pieces?" he asks. The Walrus had not struck him as much of an artist. Most of these things were far too large and gaudy to be of any real interest to the austere rhino.
At the warehouse doors approaches a badger, dressed casually for a party in his best orange vest, halfway buttoned and a pair of tight black trousers. On his back is a guitar slung across his body by a wide decorative strap. Just below the guitar on his back is his travel pack, a purple and green hat's brim sticking out from it a bit, as he still finds the puzzler's pimp hat a bit too gaudy to wear. ANYHOW! Parties aren't usually Cedric's fort�, but he's decided to make an attempt, for once, to socialize with others, trying to discard his nervousness as he makes his fashionably late entrance to the party. He feels somewhat uncomfortable without all of his heavy armor, like... people can actually see his face! He stops by the drinks section of the table and helps himself to a quick drink to help him relax, and takes a few deep breaths, casting off the rest of his anxiety. After he feels more relaxed, the Graceful Clan badger walks slightly more confidently towards the rest of the beings gathered, with a friendly wave, in an attempt to immerse himself into the festivities and view the works of art currently being unveiled.
