Calamaethor couldn't help but give a small, slight chuckle which sounded more like him clearing his throat more than anything.  A slight blush came into his cheeks as Salina bent over to pick up the cheese cube.  He, too, took one from the tray and took a slight nibble from it, savoring the bite as he thought about the flavors.

We never had anything quite this exotic in my homeland... Calamaethor thought, nodding slightly as he took another small bite of it, closing his eerily-white eyes as he thought about the flavors that were blending in his mouth.  He had to admit that he hadn't the foggiest clue about Krysmanian-Tengel bred cows; no, he just knew about cheeses made from different milks: cow milk, goat milk, sheep's milk...

"It's okay, Miss Salina." Calamaethor said, smiling slightly.

Kovu rolled his eyes as CC walked away. He straightened his tie. 'Wear a tie,' they said. 'It'll make you look nice,' they said. "I feel and look so nice," Kovu said sarcastically. He glanced around and noticed another girl in a green dress. Kovu ran after CC, hoping he could fix his stupid mistake.

CC didn't notice Kovu. She sitting in the far corner. She loved Mahogani, and Mahogani knew that. Then he blows her off. Her pink dress, lined with black, that was so beautiful when she first got it, was spotted with tears. She noticed Kovu and turned away. "Go away." And Kovu left.

Iolana didn't notice when the others entered that ball room. The gentleman told a guess not touch a painting. She was so deep in thought, Iolana forgotten that she was at a Valentine's ball. See what happens when you don't pay attention to your surroundings. The Khimera walked up to the others, she wasn't really sure what was going on. A little nervous "Hello everyone, my name is Iolana." She was a little embarrass, Iolana didn't know if she had Interrupted anyone. The Khimera looked around the hole ball room, not sure if anyone heard her.

[AnimeTheia]

Finally someone had come over to say 'Hello' first, it seemed it was yet another Khimera; although technically Theia and Athos weren't Khimera with Human forms but Humans with Khimera Forms. Even though Iolana had said hello to everyone and not specifically her, Theia felt more capable of talking now and quietly directed a little "Hi" in her direction, then feeling boldened she said a little louder "My name is Theia" and smiled shyly.

Meanwhile Athos had found a sideroom in which to hide the suitcases and had quickly transformed into his Human self, from out of his suitcase he had brought out a deep blue shirt and black smart trousers; which wasn't exactly the most formal attire for a Ball but he definately didn't look shabby or casual either. His longer than shoulder length wavy black hair was confined in a ponytail and his beard had been recently trimmed and shaped to be more presentable. He left the side room in search of Theia to tell her where she could go and change, small shocks of pink lightning still jumping between the floor and his feet as he moved.

[Sappheara]

Iolana was glad that someone heard her. She stepped closer, her white heels making little echo sounds as she got closer to the other Khimera. "This is a wonderful event" Iolana wasn't talking to anyone in particular. "Did you come by yourself tonight?" she came here alone and really didn't know how to start the conversation. The Khimera was nervous, she started twisting her fingers together. She leaned on the wall that had a painting, Iolana didn't even know what was on it. She looked around the room trying to calm her nerves. Seeing all the Valentine's Day things hanging all over the ball room. It was to much pinks and reds, cupids, hearts, streamers, balloons as well as confetti.

As Alstatia scanned the ball room she noticed a young girl, probably about her age, sitting off by herself. She appeared to be crying. Alstatia wanted to go over to the girl, but she was nervous. What would the girl's response be? After some inward torment, she decided to go see what was up. She was here to make friends anyway. Her green heels click-clacked on the floor and she felt embarassed by the noise. She just hated the noise shoes made when they were on her feet. It didn't bother her when other people's shoes did it. She reached the girl and sat down on the bench beside her. She wasn't sure how to approach conversation. Now that she was there she didn't want to disturb the girl. She definatley didn't want to startle her. "Um, hello," she said soflty. "I'm Alstatia. I noticed you were over here by yourself, crying, and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help you out."

CC turned to the girl. "I'm CC. There's not much you can do... Unless you want to be my friend for the night." CC giggled a little at her joke, but she sort of - deep down inside - that CC was serious. She didn't have that many friends, maybe only two. Wait, none.

Thanks to a small crack in the door, the pixel pet managed to slip into the ballroom.She'd come... why she wasn't so sure, she'd just read the poster outside that had fallen down and decided to come in. The Spring Fling part seemed to be true, as she spotted some workers starting to hang up flowers. HUGE flowers. Roses and tulips and daisies... all big. Not to a normal sized pet, true, but when you're small enough to sit on a fingernail it's hard for something to NOT look big.

The was a sharp squeak as one of the workers walked near her, and she had to dodge away quickly to avoid getting squished. The person looked around, trying to find the source of the noise, but she was small enough to avoid his gaze as she sprinted a few feet away. The kitty stopped, panting slightly from the exercion. A smell hit her nose. A yummy smell... She quickly lokked up to see- "FOOD!!" she cried loudly, her voice unnaturally high pitched as she scrambled towards the cheese crumb on the floor. And failing to notice the three people standing above her.

(ooc: didn't know who else to have join :P)

[jobiehanna]

Alstatia was a little taken aback by the other's response. She scanned the ballroom once more. Alstatia swept another strand of hair from out of her face before replying. "I wouldn't mind hanging around with you," she said. She smoothed the folds of her dress out. "I didn't come with anyone, so, yeah," she said, unsure of where to take the conversation after that.

CC smiled. "Thanks," she said and wiped her face which was now had dried tears on it. She glanced at Kovu who was wandering around like a lost puppy. Just going in circles, not knowing what to do. "Seems my friend is a bit lost," CC said and pointed at Kovu. It might have seemed rude, possibly mean, but it was pretty funny. A teenage boy at a Valentine's Day ball spinning in circles, trying to find someone to talk to or something to do.

Kovu noticed CC pointing at him. He rolled his eyes and continued walking. He wasn't spinning anymore. Just walking in one big circle around the perimitor of the ballroom. Of course, he didn't have anything better to do.

[jobiehanna]

"You're welcome," Alstatia said sweetly. She had made her first friend already, something she hadn't expected. She was usually the one in the corner, watching. Alstatia looked to where CC was pointing. She giggled slightly. It was an unusual sight, seeing this young man turning in circles. "Yeah, he does seem lost," she said. "So, Alstatia said, turning back to look at CC. "I'm curious about your name. Does it have any particular meaning?"

[Kiarianuu]

"It stands for Cotton Candy, which is my real name, but almost everybody calls my CC," she explained. "And it's easier to say then saying 'Cotton Candy' all the time." She watched as Kovu made the full circle of the building. Wierdo.

Kovu got back to his original spot. He had heard CC tell her new friend about him walking in a circle. Wonderful. Thanks CC.

"So," Salina said to Calamaethor. "Sorry again about that. I'm Salina Belle, and I'm not usually this rude. I think. I guess. I hope. Or atleast I didn't used to be..." Her eyes seemed misty and glassed up. "I love fashion, art, music, cooking, and such. A creative soul, not much good at anything else. I have a tailoring shop around here for -- well everything, because I do like variety -- but epecially dresses. Summer dresses, ball gowns, wedding dresses. My mum -- oh excuse me." She coughed. "Um. So yes, I really love dresses to sum it up. I don't like heels though. They make me too gangly-looking... but I'm rambling. Kind sir, would I have the pleasure of being introduced to your excellence?"

[Aussie]

The pixel doom kitty smacked it's lips after quickly finishing the cheese crumb. Yummy she thought contentedly, a smile spreading over her face. She looked up- at the same moment the lady above her happened to cough. A mewl of protest loud enough for any nearby creature to hear sounded from below as the pet quickly dodged a small drop of spit.

It was at this moment the pixel creature noticed the janitor and the fact that he was holding a platter. Platters always meant food; she didn't know a time when they were used for anything else. She padded over to his shoe, sitting on top of it and putting on a cute face- as if Borin would notice from up there. "Food?" she asked politely, her screechy high-pitched voice contrasting drasticly with her current demeanor.

[FireHeart]

Calamaethor listened intently as Salina spoke.  He didn't find her rude in any way, which made him kind of wince a slight bit--but, then again, that could also have been taken as a reaction to the accidental bite into the wax that had been around the cheese--but as he listened more, he couldn't help but be mildly intrigued.

"I see.  Well, Miss Salina," he said, bowing slightly, "I am Calamaethor Sul'im... and... Prince of... Nyonia."

There.  He'd said it, and he had a feeling that he would need to explain himself slightly.

"Nyonia... it is not of this realm.  It never was.  I and two of my companions were pulled into something similar to a singularity--er, I mean, a black hole that had created a hole in space-time.  We were dumped unceremoniously in the Cathedral of Lambastia, and when I came to... well, one of my two companions firmly demanded for me to leave then and there.  I honestly had no idea what all he was ranting about, but it obviously involved the female he was guarding.  I didn't even recognize her; I just... remember that I nearly died many a time as a child.  In fact, my arm, leg, and eye were all damaged due to illnesses--Nyonia had rather advanced technology..."
