"Thanks, wouldn't want to ruin a brand new outfit." She was kind of glad Fallon hadn't tried to kiss her. She banished the thought as it rose up in her mind; she hadn't thought of...
"Shut up, self." She shook her head.
Taken aback for just a moment at Fallon's spacey stare, Ana placed a comforting hand on Fallon's shoulder when the woman started rambling about worry. "If anyone's the queen of worrying, it's me. I think you're doing a great job, Fallon, though I think you and I should return to your party before people think one of us got flushed or something."
She gave a gentle hug to the hostess - her friend - and stepped back slightly. "Sure, I'd love to keep you company, but only if I'm allowed to clean more than you. It would only be fair. And the drive home would be great, I took a cab tonight, I figured it'd be safer than getting lost and being late."
She winked at Fallon, then groped blindly on the counter for her glasses. "Think I might need to clean my glasses, too. Hand me a couple squares of teepee please? Thanks."
When the other woman complied, she rubbed her glasses absentmindedly, then playfully pushed Fallon out of the bathroom. "Go on, I need to tinkle, and make sure my nose is clean and all. Thanks for your help."
Party Time?
It certainly was a good thing Fallon didn't work weekends. As it was, it seemed to be taking an inordinately long time to get everything organized for her dinner Wednesday night.
Having set one of the bags on the porch chair, while she unlocked the front door and went inside to put down the other three bags, she returned to the porch and grabbed it now. Then she realized the bag held things that she had bought for the porch, so she set it back down. She would deal with that project later.
For about the fifth time tonight, she wished she had asked Aishe if she wanted to help, but for the fifth time tonight she agreed that it wouldn't have been much of a treat for Aishe if she helped put it together.
No, Fallon was bound and determined to do this on her own, and suffer the consequences.
So far she had received three RSVPs, the sweetest having been Ana's. Such a nice message to leave on her voice mail. But there was still time, and if it turned out there would only be three others, that would still be three more at a party than she'd ever had before.
Noticing she was still standing on the front porch, Fallon laughed before turning and going back inside.
Once she had put the food away, certain she had enough for a house full of frat boys, she gathered all the candles together on the table, and then set out to distribute them through the house. Thinking they would make her house more festive, with spending the smallest amount of money, she had bought many. And they were all in complimenting scents. With winter still upon them in Nachton, Fallon had gone with comfort scents...cinnamon, apple pie, and vanilla. She now just hoped having the house smell like baked goodies wouldn't be offensive to anyone.
Taking the small stack of papers from her purse, she set them inside her bar. She had devised a list of items for the scavenger hunt, and had them printed up. Now she just had to remember where they were, and hope everyone would have fun playing.
Tucking the folded paper bags from her shopping under her kitchen sink, Fallon poured herself a glass of white zin, and went to sit on the porch. The night air was still crisp, but not as biting as it had been the past few nights. Setting her wine glass down, she took the other batch of candles out of the bag on the porch, and the little tin covers, and scattered them around. Some went on the railing, some went along the steps, and some were hung from hooks the prior tenants had left in the porch ceiling. Fallon took the long lighter from the bag, lit all the outside candles, and smiled. It did look very party like, and though it was a small effort, it made her feel a lot better about how things were going to go...or how she hoped they would.

Though she didn't say so now, Fallon most certainly wasn't going to let Ana do MOST of the cleaning. But that wasn't going to be debated now. Smiling she left, and closed the door behind her, and returned to the living room.
The four there were talking about something, so Fallon picked up some of the odd plates lying about, and took them into the kitchen. Quickly stacking all the dirty things in the sink, she rejected the idea to clean anything else now. There would be time later, when everyone had left, to do all that. Grabbing a soda from the fridge, she asked again...
"Anybody need anything?"

Groaning at Aishe's quip, Alec was a little startled when Ana exploded. As Ana and Fallon left the room, he shook his head sadly.
That was so bad you almost killed Ana...rancid humor, right there.
Unsure what to do, Alec took a forkful of his untouched cheesecake. Wow...that was pretty tasty. Letting it just sit on his tongue for a bit, he let the flavor seep into his mouth, feeling the mixture of ingredients with the saliva rousing even more flavors. Smoothing it over his soft palette, he rubbed it clean, swallowing the tiniest bit at a time. Yummy.

He had acknowledged Ambrose's comment about age with a nod. That would technically shuffle him to Tacharan but without knowing the man's maker he was not going to put him anywhere. The absense of a clan hint left him confused. Clanless vampires did not last 150 years in Cyrus' mind.
Cyrus simply arched a brow at Ana's joke. The warped humor Aishe displayed seemed to fit her perfectly. Her joke elicted a slight groan as he watched Ana race away sputtering.
With a nudge to the archeologist he tisk tisked her. "Trying to kill the poor girl were you?"

Aishe couldn't help but giggle as Ana dashed from the room before she snorted her drink. She gave herself a little mental pat on the back, although she hadn't realized she'd been that funny.
When she felt Cyrus nudge her, she turned to him with an innocent expression and took advantage of Ana's absence to say in a whisper, "Well she'd fit in with the rest of you then, wouldn't she!"

Fallon caught that last bit between Cyrus and Aishe as she came back into the living room, and grinned, but had to 'shush' them both. Ana hadn't returned from the bathroom yet, but could have easily overheard on her way back.
"You three are terrible...aren't they Ambrose?"
Watching the man on the couch, she guessed he too must be a vampire if Aishe could say something like that in front of him. She had whispered, but Fallon had heard, so she assumed everyone else in the room had as well. It had been a funny comment, and she was still grinning as she sat down again.
"So what else did I miss?"

He bit back a groan, these were terrible jokes; very… VERY bad. So why were they funny? Watching Ana flee he wasn’t sure what to do but Fallon, ever the gracious hostess, went after her. Problem solved.
“Hardly good manners to commit murder in someone else’s house.”
He teased Aishe while offering Cyrus a small return nod. So there were at least two of them. More interesting though was that Aishe, while not part of the club, was in on the secret. So just how many undead were there floating about in this room?
At Fallon’s return he grinned broadly and nodded his agreement.
“Absolutely terrible, but entertaining. We should take bets on who wins this friendly little squabble.”
It wasn’t really a squabble, not in his mind. It just seemed like good-natured banter. Either way his money was on Aishe.

Blowing her nose again (damn ice melted painfully inside the nose) Ana looked around for a fan switch.
Delaying nature wasn't really something she was in the habit of; it just happened, between getting ready for the party and getting off work and everything.
She cracked open the window after she washed her hands with the available Dove pump. Turning the light behind her, and closing the door most of the way, she returned to the living room with the other guests.
"That was a good one, Aishe, I'll have to add that one to my catalog!" She winked at her friend, then returned to her seat. As she was about to spin around to sit, she realized she'd polluted her drink. She headed back into the kitchen to refresh it.

Smiling saucily at Ambrose, Aishe said, "That wouldn't exactly count as murder, now would it?"
Then, as Ana returned, she turned to her and laughed. "Are you all right? I didn't realize it was that funny."
Still, she sat back with an air of satisfaction, abandoning all attempts at innocence.

Ana reached out a hand to Aishe as she returned from the kitchen and made a strangling motion. "Just peachy. Next time you share such a funny joke, please wait til I'm not drinking. Or eating. Because that hurt just a tad."
She patted Aishe on the shoulder, smiling, and sat back down.

Aishe put up her hands. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She gave Ana a quick hug, with a glance at her watch. It had gotten quite late... she hadn't realized how much time had passed.
She didn't have anywhere to go, but she remembered the exchange between Fallon and Cyrus from before, and wanted to give them time to talk. She only guessed that Cyrus would stay after everyone had gone; it seemed a logical assumption to her after seeing them together. She glanced at Ana, who might best understand her intentions, then at Fallon.
"Thanks so much for having me Fallon. I really ought to get going. It's really late." Let the others make of that what they would; the vampires in the room, with the exception of Fallon, would probably think she was a day-person, and for someone up days, it was rather late.
Aishe gave Fallon a big hug, and whispered into her ear, "Call me tomorrow night sis." Then, figuring it wouldn't be fair not to have one for everyone in the room, she hugged them each in turn.
"Night everyone! It was good to see you all again!"
With that she opened the door, hopped down the stairs, and headed off with a bounce in her step, hoping the rest of the night would be just as enjoyable for Fallon, once she had some time alone with Cyrus.

Just as she was getting situated on the floor again, Aishe was leaving, and Fallon got back up.
Returning Aishe's hug, Fallon whispered in return.
"I will sis, and thank you so much for coming, and supporting me through this. It was a lot easier for me I'm sure, because you were here."
Fallon kissed Aishe's cheek still yet again by how easy it was becoming to show affection to those she cared about, and smiled. Undoubtedly with Aishe, it was her own mannerisms that had begun to rub off on Fallon, and that was confirmed when Aishe hugged everyone else before leaving.
Because she truly seemed to have had a good time, Fallon felt immeasurably better.
Again looking around the room, wondering if she should risk sitting down again, or prepare to say good bye to someone else, Fallon chose to sit on the piano bench instead. For want of anything else to do, she lightly toyed with the keys, playing a few notes from the television show 'Friends'.
A few bars into the song, Fallon remembered she hadn't given Aishe any food to take home, and jumped up off the bench to dash into the kitchen. Before anyone else made off empty handed, she prepared five paper plates of left overs. For Aishe, and Ambrose she put in a little of everything, for Cyrus and Ana she omitted the salads, and for Alec she put an extra large piece of cheesecake, since he really seemed to like that a lot. Covering them all with plastic wrap, she readied them to be taken.

He bowed his head deeply as Aishe stated her need to leave. "It was a pleasure to meet you Aishe."
Cyrus hoped to have a chance to talk with her more in the future. Though since she was Evenhet he was unsure of how many chances he would get. It was still unclear if she was familiar or vampire, he would have to ask next time. The offer she had made to him earlier tonight lead him to think she was a very loosely held familiar.
Downing the last of his scotch he stood to get more. He grabbed Ambrose's glass on the way up and refilled them both.
"So Alec, have you spoken to Amberelle lately? I have not seen her at the Manor in quite a while."

Returning to her seat on the piano bench, Fallon smiled. It had been a good evening, and she couldn't get over how simple it had been to plan and put together.
Stifling a yawn, her elbow slipped off the edge of the piano and onto the keys, making a very loud, obnoxious noise. She cast an apologetic look to Cyrus, for interrupting his conversation with Alec, and put her hand in her lap.
Suddenly she was hit with the thought that she had yet to feed tonight, and the hour was growing late. Looking at the clock on the wall, she began to fret that she might not have time to get Ana home, and feed, once everyone had left. The anxiety of not feeding enough was constantly with her, and how she let it slide so long tonight, she found unnerving.
Fallon got up and went into the bathroom. Taking a wash cloth off the counter, she ran it under some cold water, rung it out, and then pressed it to her mouth, and cheeks. Watching in the mirror, she found herself looking at her face...trying to find traces of the changes that had taken place in her lately. It was a queer feeling...maybe because she had never looked at her face as a whole like this, for so long before. But now it almost didn't look like her at all. Moving the wash cloth to behind her neck, under her hair, she closed her eyes. At first the sensation of the coolness on her face and neck seemed to calm her, but the feeling was short lived, and she felt herself becoming anxious all over again.
Tomorrow...tomorrow she would find a way to get some blood to keep on hand, like Cyrus did...for emergencies. For now she mentally kicked herself for not having thought about this sooner. Cyrus had shown her the value...it was her inattention that might cost her now.
Wringing her hands, she distractedly went back into the living room, and stood in the doorway, not really looking at anything. Her mind a jumble of thoughts and worries.

As Aishe made her exit, Alec pondered the more...unusual aspect of the evening, wondering how many times throughout history groups like this had come together and in what manner they had dissipated. Mixing the vampiric traditionalists, the vampiric idealists, the vampiric...anarchists?...and humans happened regularly. Just not in informal settings. He was pretty sure there wouldn't be social experiments like that in Tacharan, but perhaps Aishe could look something like that up at Meridian and see if their little troupe was headed toward disaster, and whether historically it was the Anantya or the Tacharan that screwed the interactions with the humans...he was guessing that the Evenhet wouldn't, as they had more daily practice.
When Cyrus asked about Amberelle, his musings took a new direction. It had been quite awhile since they'd spoken. Since there were still conversations to be had on both of their minds, that seemed odd. Perhaps she got a job that required travel and a scenic return. That would certainly explain it, though that would be difficult to describe in mixed company. Deciding to keep it simple, Alec replied
No, actually. The last time I saw her was several weeks...no, months ago, now. It is possible that work travel has
Smiling, Alec looked over to the loud, discordant noise their hostess had made. It seemed that she was drifting off to sleep. Knowing a clear cut cue for exit when he saw one, Alec finished and looked for his out.
...has kept her busy during these months, or perhaps she took an extended leave to spend time with her "family" down South to assist with rebuilding or relocating.
Both would be viable options, and would seem a lot more friendly than other descriptions. It is always good to put a positive spin on things for your friends.
When Fallon came back into the room, Alec smiled.
It is looking like it is getting late for all of us. If we all help you clean up together, it'll go faster. I can take Ana home - you probably shouldn't be driving if you're drifting off. Ambrose...did you need a ride too or all you all set?
Alec didn't think much about it, he just assumed that Cyrus would be staying.

Which was wholely true, she realized as the explanation flowed guilelessly from her.

Well, wasn't this a fine situation to be in, Fallon contemplated. From having no one of consequence in her life, to having enough people to conflict over being with.
She wanted to be with Cyrus, in the worst way...and felt she had conquered a huge obstacle in her relationship tonight, when she was able to be in the same room with him, and not feel the need to constantly be fawning all over him. Yes, there had been a few times when she sought out his comforting hug, or even casual hand on her back, but for the most part she thought she had been incredibly self sufficient, at least for her. His mere presence, along with Aishe's, were also enabling, of that Fallon was sure...but neither one could now help her in her present dilemma.
She was about ready to thank Alec for his offer, but decline, when Ana took matters into her own hands.
"Besides Alec, I didn't invite you over for dinner just to have you help clean up!"
Fallon said in mock horror.
"And I think once I get out into the night air, I'll be fine. She's staying on campus...that's not far."
And if I'm lucky, maybe I'll spot my donor for the evening. Though she felt she could have made that comment to Alec, and obviously Cyrus, Fallon couldn't let Ana hear such a thing. Ambrose...well, the jury was still out on him.
Fallon wished she could ask Cyrus to stay the night, and have him waiting for her when she returned from dropping Ana off. She couldn't think of a better way to end the night... But since it didn't appear it would be happening, her next concern was to just not upset him. One huge thing in her favor...he was the most patient of men.

Nodding at Alec's assesment of Amberelle, he wished he had found time to get to know his young clanmate better. One romp through the trees was all they had had time for.
"While I hate to cut the evening short, I do have to meet with a friend and pick up some groceries."
Standing he gathered up his scotch glass and any napkins and a stray fork he found near him. Depositing the items in the kitchen he smiled at Fallon. He wanted to kiss her and hold her close even if it was inappropriate to do so in front of guests. Instead he placed one quick kiss upon the satiny skin behind her ear. "Thank you for inviting me, this was fun."
Making his way to the couch he swiftly put on his coat, comforted by the heavy feel of the steel inside the lining.
"My driver will be happy to take anyone to their destination if needed."

Whoa and how the time flies. Ambrose sure didn’t want to be accused of over staying his welcome. Picking up groceries didn’t sound like a bad idea. The food had been good but well not quite satisfying.
“Thanks both but I’m covered.”
Standing, a little stiffly, the couch wasn’t quite made so that he could get up and down easily, he smiled at Fallon.
“Fallon I really appreciate you thinking of me. It was very generous of you and I hope I can return the favor. It was a wonderful evening, but I’m going to slip out now.”
He made his way over to the door but stopped to take leave of the room in general.
“It was nice to meet everyone. Have a good evening.”
