As people started to file in, Teo grew more and more self-concious. Nearly every member that showed up to greet Naniko and her sons had given him a double-take, most either looking amused or shocked at his outfit. He couldn't have been more embarrassed.
He'd been shooting a glare Camilla's way when Alaki finally showed up. He arrived in a spectacularly unimaginative (but surprising fitting and attractive) samurai costume, seeming to use his Katana as a base for it all. Teo was torn between grinning like an idiot over how fine his mate looked in his costume... and fuming at the grin he'd shown upon seeing his own cross-dressing outfit.
He lowered his nose and pouted, not at all helping his situation. That faded away, though, when Akira showed up. She'd been a loner the last time they'd really spoken, but he'd seen her around since. He was glad to see her and when she took up a spot next to him, he felt a bit of his embarrasment fade away. She looked good in her skeleton costume. Or maybe she was a demon or something? Whatever she was, it looked really cool.
Unlike him. The cross-dressing angel.
Another glare at Camilla, who was suddenly busy with her own friends. All well. Socializing. "Evening, Akira. Loving the skull and bones. You look good." He smiled a friendly smile, tail waving behind him. Apparently Alaki was busy, so he'd leave his mate alone for now. They could have their own time later.
When Jackson approached, commenting and smiling, Camilla's heart jumped in her chest. She hid it well, though, with a smirk. " Thanks. But where's your costume, Jackson? " She tilted her head, eyeing him almost disapprovingly.
After a moment, she snapped her fingers and went to untie her cape, a long cloak-like thing that she'd stolen from Alaki's things. She swung it around carefully, and if he didn't move away, she'd tie it around his neck and fix it over his shoulders, patting each side to smooth it out a bit. " There. Now you can be a Necromancer. It matches your staff. " She grinned, tail slowly waving behind her. Yes, that would do.
" So there's supposed to be a party after this. Wanna be my date? Say yes and I'll let you keep the cape. Looks good on you. " She played casually, way better at socializing than her older brother. She'd admit to having a crush on Jackson. Then again, what girl wouldn't? He was amazingly cute, especially with those beautiful cerulean eyes of his. Yum.
