So, just to make sure Mayt hadn't already apologized to Carrie I used the search function the guild has. Didn't come up with anything, but I did get to re-read a few of my old fights from back when Iron Enigma was participating. It was surprisingly enjoyable, even if I did have to cringe at my own writing from time to time.

Gotta say, my favorite fight I've collab'd so far has got to be Maddox V Grant. I mean, highly skilled teleportation mage versus highly skilled precognitive mage. The fight practically advertises itself as badass, and the enjoyment of writing it certainly didn't disappoint. Idk if anyone else enjoyed it though.

Ended up being like a 7 part fight though, and Caits at one point told me she aims for about 15k characters a collab post, so it's a bit of a long read, if anyone is at all interested.

Mayt Marris - Ballroom

Mayt stuffed another chocolate treat in his face while Karn thought about where Mithera was, and shrugged when Karn suggested that Mithera might not like the crowds. "Nah, from what I've seen of her Mithera loves attention, so a crowd would be a perfect place for her. Then again, too many people with their hands all over you could be obnoxious," he gave Karn a sideways glance. "Something I'm sure you know all about." Mayt chuckled to himself slightly, before getting up from his chair.

"Thanks for hanging around and talking to me Karn, but I figure I might as well get out of your hair and let you go and hang with someone else. I'll find someone else to mooch sympathy off of. Or, I saw Carrie around earlier, and I might go and give her a late apology," Mayt gave Karn another happy smile, and considered his options for what to do next. Pretty quickly apologizing approached the top of the list, followed immediately by asking Jamie where Mithera was. As S-Class, he figured he should keep at least have a vague idea where all the members were at any given time, in case he needed to go and help them out. Glancing around, he managed to at least spot Carrie. He had no idea what Master Jamie looked like at the moment, and didn't spot a face that might be his guild master's in the crowd. He decided that once he and Karn had officially parted company, he would head over to Carrie, maybe even with a candy or two from the dining table, and officially apologize. Maybe even offer her a dance. He knew that didn't really make things any better, but if he got stabbed in the stomach by someone he'd definitely feel better about them if they later apologized and gave him chocolate for it. Even if it was months after the event.

Can you send me a cake for my birthday? :3

Then my peeps in the US can give me one tomorrow where it'll finally be the 21st for us.

Mayt Marris - Ballroom

Mayt had to admit to being just a little disappointed that Karn didn't ask him to another dance. The shape shifter was nice, and good with their feet to boot, but he didn't complain about sitting down. His ankle hurt, and would probably keep hurting whether or not he had another dance. Mayt would take a breath, and look Karn up and down as he sat. It was odd, seeing them in a dress. It wasn't that Mayt had never seen them in a dress before, it was just odd he saw someone wearing it in such a way that it was hard to tell if they leaned towards being more male or female. Maybe that was why Karn acted so much like a cute younger sibling, he just hadn't got enough genes in one direction to really develop as one or the other. Or maybe it was a trait of a lot of shape shifters, as guessing Mithera's gender from how she acted was impossible too.

Mayt's attention drifted back to the conversation at hand, and how the games had ended so abruptly. "That's reasonable, don't want everybody at each other's throats after the games. It was meant to bring everyone together after all," he commented, knowing he was probably just repeating what a bunch of other people had said already. "Oh hey, where's that other shape shifter? Myth... Mithera," Mayt felt his cheeks heat up a little at forgotten her name after having it come to his head so quickly earlier. "I thought you two were like... Besties. Would've expected her to be around."

Mayt Marris - Ballroom

To be entirely honest, Mayt completely missed everything Karn said about the games. He managed to catch that they had ended suddenly, and that no one won, but the rest was just a mesh of sounds that didn't really mean all that much to him. He nodded to it all the same, acting like he understood what had been said. He tilted his head at the spiritual experience line, and ended up letting it pass without saying anything. He let himself relax as they continued to move in careful dance, Mayt slowly regaining enough control over himself to dance normally. As the song came to a slow end, Mayt would bring Karn into a hug without really thinking about it. After a moment he would break it, and offer them a good, genuine smile.

"Thanks for the dance. I think I needed it more than I thought," Mayt said, his hand hesitating in Karn's. There was something here he wasn't sure about, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Maybe it was his intuition trying to tell his bleeding brain something, but he couldn't think of what it could be. Or maybe it was some more memories trying to come to the surface. He hid a grimace at that thought, but it didn't stop his smile from vanishing. Why had so many of his ancestors been such horrible people? He decided to keep talking to Karn instead of thinking about some of the things he knew he had done that he didn't like. His hands fell to his sides. "Shame the games ended with no winner," he tried. "Now all anyone can do it tell everyone else they believed that their guild was going to win, whether or not logic would agree," this managed to get Mayt to smile slightly again as he waited for Karn's response, but it was short lived. He idly wondered if the exuberant mage would ask him to another dance.

@Silver Fox In case I didn't quite make it obvious enough, which is entirely possible, Mayt actually has a concussion.

So he'd actually be fairly easy to manipulate right now, if Edarn wanted to do that.

Mayt Marris - Ballroom

Mayt didn't pay any attention to the two other mages when Karn took his hand, and he gripped Karn's hand lightly in return. Once they reached the dance floor he gripped it a bit more tightly, and positioned himself properly, his cast finding its way to their hip. He was an alright dancer under normal circumstances, but this wasn't really a normal circumstance. His ankle hurt, his feet seemed oddly sluggish, his balance was off, and his mind felt as clear as a dirty glass. He was often stumbling slightly, and his feet would not stay in time. He did eventually get into some kind of rhythm, but it wasn't quite in time with the music. At least he stopped trying to step on Karn's toes.

"Well, mishap may be a bit of a misnomer, it was pretty on purpose," Mayt offered, his smile fading into a normal, positive countenance. "But, essentially, it blew up. I got thrown from the car I was in, and I don't remember anything after that until I got up and started looking around. There, uhm, there wasn't a lot of survivors, it was pretty bad," he frowned some, and his brow furrowed like he was trying to think of something, but couldn't. He shrugged, giving up on whatever it was, and the frown faded back behind a poorly constructed mask. "I was pretty lucky, to be honest."

"But, anyway, how are you? How did the games end?" Mayt suddenly changed his attention from himself to Karn, letting his lighthearted smile tentatively return. He wasn't smiling because he was happy per-se, but he didn't want to put a damper on Karn's enthusiasms. This ball was supposed to be a happy occasion, as he understood it. He could let everyone read about the terrorist attack in the papers tomorrow.

Mayt Marris - Ballroom

Mayt smiled as Gabriel shook his hand, and shot an unhappy look at Jane for not shaking his hand, but he quickly returned to his previous demeanor. Before he could speak up again, Karn directed their attention towards him, and Mayt was almost immediately won over by the shapeshifter, seeming to completely miss over the sudden change in demeanor. After Karn finished talking Mayt would look at Jane and Gabriel, hoping to dissuade them from their seeming disdain for Karn. "Karn's harmless. Well, mostly," Mayt noted, looking upwards and thinking for a second. "He has his dangerous moments, I suppose, but I've never seen him do anything that might hurt someone or something without good reason," Mayt explained, and turned to Karn as the mage started excitedly asking him to dance.

Holding up his hand to the shapeshifter, he'd motion for them to hold their horses. "Whoa whoa, contain yourself little guy, I'm more than happy to dance with you. Just don't go too overboard okay? And, uhm, forgive me if I step on your..." Mayt hesitated and furrowed his brow, trying to think of the word. It was right there in the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't quite... Toes! That was it. "Toes! Sorry if I step on your toes. I'm a bit banged up from a train mishap," Mayt explained, taking one of Karn's small, thin hands in his own, and motioning with his cast for them to go ahead and lead him to the dance floor. Mayt wouldn't even seem to mind if Karn wanted to lead the dancing itself.
