After the Ismeme thread
Meeting Ismeme and starting off a possible new friendship was heartening for the young Knight. He wasn't usually so very sociable as he was tonight but tonight he was making a huge effort, not only for his father but for Casa too and for the people who were visiting them from Cercatori, they all deserved the feeling of a bit more safety. At least he, Lorenzo would welcome any of the artists pack back into Casa's land if they sought passage or aid.
Again he found himself moving aimlessly through the throngs of people, trying not to bump into anyone or knock anything over with his regal looking cloak. He held two drinks in his hands, one for himself and the other for... well he wasn't really sure, anybody who caught his eyes really he supposed. He caught sight of Juliet for a second and began to move towards her but she was swallowed up by the ground and then he couldn't see her anymore.
With a slightly frowning expression the male downed his drink and set it on one of the nearby tables, the other drink still held in his hand untouched as his bi colored eyes scoured the dancing people for anybody familiar.

Adelle moved through the crowds, golden fur washed down. There was still the wound she'd managed to get taking down the pig, but it had dried for the most part, Adelle doing her best to cover it up. It wasn't the best job in the world, but it worked, only seeing the wound if one was close enough, otherwise dismissing it. The young warrior moved with surprising grace, managing to not bump into any of the other canines around her. Usually she was clumsy, but tonight the grace she would grow into showed through.
Seeing Lorenzo standing nearby Adelle's tail wagged. It took some maneuvering, but she made it to his side. The dark curls around her face bounced as she smiled up at him, a bundle of mischievous joy. Hello. Enjoying the ball? It wasn't the usual way she spoke, but the energy of the ball and the excitement of it had altered Adelle's actions, doing her best to mimic what she believed a smooth adult female would be like, succeeding in some ways, while looking foolish in others.

So focused on the crowd before him he hardly noticed the Danish female as she sidled up to him just under his radar. She was a very large girl by now and yet she was still; almost a foot smaller than the dusty boy. His head tilted as she said hello and his pensive expression was immediately overwhelmed by a charming and fond smile. Underneath the cloak and restrained by it too his tail did a happy little dance, Adelle was one of his favorite people to talk to, although he looked at her a bit funnily as she spoke his reply was enthusiastic,
"Adelle, nice tah see yah ere. Yah i'm enjoyin eet, sarprised really. How's yahself anyeeway?" He handed over the spare drink to her without any hesitation, it wasn't alcoholic, Juliet didn't drink the stuff and Lorenzo wished to keep his head clear. Now that he had a hand free he hooked his left arm around the girl and pulled her tight to his side, giving her a brotherly sort of hug brifly before letting her go,
"Aye, yah seen any nice boys ereabouts?" He added with humored grin, if there were indeed any boys that did take an interest in Adelle and they hurt her then they'd have a very pissed off Lorenzo to deal with.

The odd glance sent her way immediately made Adelle feel self conscious. A blush rose on her cheeks, looking down on the ground. She didn't fit in as gracefully at the ball as the other canines, but she was having plenty of fun. Her tail swayed as Lorenzo spoke, a large grin on her face. It's fun. Good to see our allies here. She accepted the drink, sipping at it hesitantly. It wasn't water, whatever it was. It had a nice taste though, and quickly disappeared.
Adelle hugged Lorenzo back clumsily, the drink clutched tight in her hand to keep from dropping it. Her tail thumped proudly, another blush rising at the impertinent question. No... There was only one boy on her mind, and he wasn't here. He belonged to another pack. Adelle wasn't too sure if she really liked him, or just liked him, but he did rest in her mind a lot. No boys from here.

She looked away from him, sh and he had to grin at her display. He was coming into her own, turning into a woman from a girl, it would be natural for her to feel awkward and uneasy in her body and about her own behavior. He remembered vividly feeling it too having been through it not too long ago. The feeling of still being a child and yet being expected to behave more adult like, the clash of feelings making him feel stupid and out of place.
"Well ahm glad yer 'aving fun. Yar young, yah should enjoy yerself afore adult life takes ya." His eyes twinkled mischievously, he was remembering back to their tussle after teaching her how to stalk and track prey. It had been fun too, and had proven to himself that he still did have a puppy left inside of him, that the horrors he had seen hadn't robbed him of the child quality. He breathed a silent relief that she hadn't found any boys to fawn over, big brother Lorenzo wouldn't be needed just yet,
"Ahh, that be too bad. Mahybe next ball? Haha" He laughed lightly, enjoying her company and secretly glad she returned his hug rather than be embarrassed about it.

She was not young! Adelle was a warrior of the pack, practically an adult. There was no need to treat her like a child! Indignant Adelle looked up at Enzo, a huge pout ready to break out. She was ready to be treated like an adult. Adelle knew she was ready. There was so much she knew, after all. She didn't need to be treated so gently. Enzo's eyes were bright with mischief, teasing at her. Was it a joke then? Adelle paused, uncertain again. Did he take her seriously?
Scowling a little now Adelle lifted her cup, quickly emptying it. He was embarrassing her! Adelle would like another ball, one where she could dance with Skoll. If he was here though, Adelle would probably be teased mercilessly about it. Perhaps it was a good thing that he wasn't here. This way she could keep her mouth shut and pretend that she didn't like anyone. That seemed like a good plan. Nodding her head Adelle peered out to the crowd, now feeling like melting into the ground.
