@RaijinslayerZEVBlind huh? Not a problem! I'll be sure you'll be looking good for this party! Oh, and the name is Zev Buchanan, but Zev is just fine. And Zev had done good on his deal. Zev had bought and fitted Ezekiel a black vest with matching dress pants and tie, black dress shoes, and a red dress shirt. Before they had even arrived at the ball, Zev had personally helped the new recruit with combing the knots out of his hair and even used some magical gel that would keepy Ezekiel's hair slicked back and even gave it a shine.
Zev himself wore a black suit with a purple dress shirt underneath it and still wore his sunglasses. He too had also slicked his hair back with the same gel that he used on Ezekiel. At the ball, Zev had made sure to accompany with the blind mage and hung back with him to make sure the country boy wouldn't freak out and attract a swarm of cats or Prince.
"So what's your plan of action kid? Need me to introduce you to some pretty women?" He asked in jest.
@t2waveNOLAN and
DALTON"Okay, okay. You can do this Nolan, you can do this..." The nervous wreck was pacing around outside of the palace, working up the courage to go in and go on his first ever date with Ariel. Talk about setting the bar high for the first date; nothing he could ever do could ever top dancing at a royal ball and he knew that very well. The date was not the only thing that was terrifying him; he was willing putting himself out there and be an open target for his many fan girls to swarm upon him like bees to very unwilling honey. Just thinking about it almost put him in a mouth foaming state of anxiety. Nolan took multiple deep breaths and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to regain a cool composure so he wouldn't embarrass himself in front of all the guilds and high society members.
He looked down at his atire and realized that the last time he wore any formal clothing for an event this grand was when he was a child. He wore a dark blue suit with a gold chang hanging from his left jacket pocket and gold buckles around the jackets cuffs. Underneath the suit he wore a white collard shirt that was unbuttoned by the top of the shirt with a loosely tied dark red ascot cravat tie around the collar. To top it off, he wore white gloves and brown dress shoes though he still kept Kaso by his side because he felt oddly naked without it.
This outfit was a far cry from his usual green jumper and black hoodie and many party goers had taken notice, mostly those of the female persuasion that made his skin crawl as if termites were running along his spine.
"Come on man. Do it for her." He sighed and made his way through the castle gates and as expected, the castle was the pinacle of luxury. It was similar to his family manor when he used to live there as a child, but on a grander scale.
"Hey Nolan! It's about time that you got here! Working up the courage to dance with your lady friend?" Dalton flew over to Nolan with shrimp cocktail in hand. Dalton was wearing a cat-sized black tuxedo, which was actually stupidly adorable.
The slayer arched his brow and decided to ignore the part about Ariel.
"How did you even get in here? You're no even officially part of the guild yet.""I have my ways. Anyway, how about a little dance before you get off to your lady?" Dalton jokingly offered, which was met by Nolan rolling his eyes and smirk.
"Oh come on, it could be fun!" The Exceed chuckled and popped one of the pieces of shrimp into his mouth.
"Thanks for the offer, but I've left Ariel waiting long enough. I'll talk with you later." Soon Nolan was wandering through crowds of guests with many suitresses trying to gain his affection. Of course he politely turned their offers down though because he seemed so shy and nervous around them, it somehome made them even more determined to catch him.
It was almost impossible to find Ariel with so many people in the ballroom, but Nolan soon found her. It actually wasn't that hard; only a blind man could miss a woman changing several colors in seconds.
"Hey, Ariel!" Nolan called out to her, moving through a group of people before he was finally in front of her and took a good look at her. To say that she was gorgeous would've been an understatement. For how long the moment was, he didn't know what to say. What do people tell their dates when they meet? Should he compliment her? There should be a guide for socially inept people like him.
"Um, you look really beautiful." Heat intensely radiated from his red cheeks.
@Joshua Tamashii@Roseletta@LugubriousDALTON Seeing as Nolan already had his own affairs to attend to, Dalton had decided that he would go and get some more of that royal grub that was being served. Seeing as he didn't want to get trampled by the part goers, he decided that he would just fly over to the magnificent buffet table and eat until his stomach can't bear anymore. As he flew, however, he saw a few familiar faces standing right by the buffet table.
"Amaya, Fleo! How are my two favorite girls?" The exceed flew towards them in his tiny, black tuxedo.
