The banquet was officially open, which means everyone now could do whatever they please as long as etiquette allows. Jazdia stood up from her table, and Yvonne followed, seemingly having a similar idea of looking around to find some fresh air. 

The musician had been playing, filling the air with a warm and ambient melody to provide the right atmosphere for the gossip and..flirtations. 

[b][color=#a4161a]"A candlelight dinner, just the two of us?" asked Yvonne when the two finally away from the arranged table, "If I didn't know any better I'd thought Freddy's trying to set us up!" she winked. [/color][/b] 

[color=ec008c]"Oh please. I am flattered." [/color]

[b][color=#a4161a]"You... are really Looking good, Sparky! And Mario really went all out with the fashion sorcery!"[/color][/b]

It was indeed a pretty dress, elegant, and red like a fine wine and... charming thanks to its sleeveless design. It came with mittens of the same color, but Jazdia left them in its box and opted to wear the hair accessory instead. 

Jazdia, who had been restrained herself from smirking gave up. She raised the hem of her skirts, posed with what seemed to be a half curtsy, and smiled at Yvonne slyly as if she was a young woman teasing a suitor with a scandalous glimpse of her ankle.

[color=ec008c]"Putting on a gown was already a battle, so, I will gladly take every compliment I can get,"[/color] she said. This was a rare occasion when she would allow herself to be complacent, and truth be told, it was never baseless; Jazdia wore her hair long, letting the golden treses untied and sway freely. Her arms and shoulder were bare, showing her skin that was as smooth as a pearl. That, and the small bastardized version of curtsy she did was starting to draw looks. And While her vanity was somewhat stoked by the attention, for the most part, she could not have cared less.

[color=ec008c]"Well, you look equally stunning as well,"[/color] Jazdia said, eying her substantial bust, further emphasized by the gown's generously low neckline. 

Jazdia straightened herself before smiling at their admirers in one sweeping glance. Then she turned to Yvonne again. [color=ec008c]"Well, let's go get something then before someone took our seats! " [/color]

There were several areas where food and drinks had been laid out, and the duo moved to the least crowded one. There was an assortment of red and white meat, and deep fried snacks all cut in small portions except a large roasted turkey on the middle table, seemingly untouched for now.  

A well-dressed manservant sprung up from his seat and immediately readied his serving tongs. A small porcelain plate had been prepared on his side. 

[color=ec008c]"Poultry and red meat, huh? Hmm, not what I am here for."[/color] Jazdia shook her head. [color=ec008c]"Rascade Specialty should be something from its sea. Correct? I'd like to have seared truffle scallops, sauteed in... well tell the cook to surprise me. And grilled Salmon for the entree. What about you, Miss Yvonne?"[/color]
