A cheer went up from those present, as they raised their drinks. Zari opened the bottle of champagne with a pop, and someone else presented her a glass. She didn't really drink champagne, but now was the time for it. She looked up to Belias and smiled.
She raised her own glass and began to speak. "First, a toast to absent friends." Mort would appreciate that, she knew. He always began his toasts the same way. "Secondly, for Belias, because he's a scarred old bastard of a dinosaur and if you don't learn to love him I will cause you so much pain." There were a few laughs, and a cheer.
Mort started up playing again, content to leave it at that.
Zari held back for a minute, soaking in the revelry though after a moment or two a tiny blond creature appeared and wrapped her in a hug. He pulled back after a minute or two, a huge grin on his features. He was shorter than Zari, his hair falling in curls around his face. He was wearing orange leggings and a massively over sized tunic, the hem of which fell to just above his knees. From the neck of the tunic, serious scarring could be seen, covering one side of his neck and ending on the jaw. "Zari! You're getting married and everything oh my gosh!"
"Zu'hai, Charlie! Calm down!" She hugged him back, and Charlie, as if suddenly spotting the huge man behind her suddenly moved to speak to him. "Oh, Belias, this is Charlie Charles. He's a fire eater."
Charlie offered a hand that was more burns and scars than clear skin to Belias. "Dude, hi. I've come over here to introduce myself. I was going to, y'know be all threatening and stuff, but I figure Mort's already given you that spiel and he's way more terrifying that I will ever be, so."
We’re all hysterical & going nowhere together.
C’mon rapture. Let’s go bedazzling.
Nothing gets futured without its own spitshine
& I’m already not not not not not not miraculous.
