Rurik is in optime too/###
Generally, Rurik disliked large gatherings of strangers for any reason, parties were no exception.He always felt awkward trying to walk around and make casual conversation with people he didn't know. If it were up to him he would be asleep somewhere quiet, but it hadn't been up to him. He had to be here since Jazper had made it mandatory that everyone able show up. He supposed he could have faked an injury and not come, but he didn't want his superiors to think him untrust worthy.
There was another reason he didn't want to come to this party in particular, and that was the pack in attendance. If it had been just Casa he wouldn't have minded as much, but this was an alliance building party with Cercatori, with whom he had a bit of history with one of it's members, and he wasn't sure how far that history had spread into the pack. It made him more paranoid than he usually was, which is saying something. He had planned on staying on the second floor for the duration of the party, which technically wasn't disobeying Jazper since he had attended the party, he just wasn't interacting with their guests. But there is a force stronger than paranoia and fear...
That force, is boredom. After a while of keeping to himself on the second floor, switching from leaning against the wall to laying on the railing to standing, all while watching or listening to the happy sounds below him, Rurik began to get extremely bored. He considered going down to the main hall and trying to keep as close to other Casa members as he could but after thinking about it a while that seemed a little silly. His boredom continued to grow. He tried to entertain himself by counting the stones in the wall, but all that did was bore him even more. After a while his boredom got the best of him, and he decided to venture down to the main hall, still keeping to himself as much as he could manage though..
