Antonin couldn’t deny that he was enjoying himself. Spending time with Dora and just letting himself be. Not worrying about pasts but trying his best to be present in this moment in time. He caught a glimpse of Sev and went over to him with a big smile on his face. 

“Having fun here cousin?” This was probably the most carefree Antonin had been in a while. 

Arwen was doing what she could to keep people feeling calm. Talking to them and just keeping their minds off the situation. She glanced around and saw Kili. Glad to see him well and healthy. 

“Kili.” She smiled at him, going over to him. “Are you alright?” Her brow did furrow with concern. “Have you seen Tauriel? Is she okay?” She knew the other woman was very capable but still her friend so she wanted to make sure they were alright. 

Inviting her to go with him had surprised him as well as possibly her. A Midgardian date. Thor would be so proud. It was more than that he genuinely got along with Lois. He liked her energy and her curiosity. She didn’t accept things blindly so it was a no brainer to ask her to go to this very bizarre event. 

When they got to the deck of the ship he held out his hand to her to help her down to steps to where the cloak room was. Loki was used to events like this. Though he spent his time watching from the corner, he knew the vibe. The excitement. The drinking. They were in for an interesting night. 

“Alright here we go. Let’s enter the fray.” He grinned over at Lois. His voice having that hint of mischief. He made sure his outfit looked similar to the one he wore in Germany at his first attack though this one was all black minus the gold and green scarf. He just thought it would be funny. 

Walking up to the ship and hearing the music just made him chuckle. How was he in a place like this again? The Winter Palace and now here. Cullen was not made for parties. He was a soldier through and through. Being her with Diana was a comfort. It was familiar but in a good way. He just hoped there would be no politics like at the Winter Palace. 

Merida was trying to ease herself into this whole party. It was still weird. She felt out of place. She had done a pretty good job of taming her wild curls with the braids but she still felt like she stood out too much for something like this. 

“I guess this isn’t too bad. Just takes some getting used to.” Merida looked towards the other woman next to her after taking a swig from her flask. 

Peter took a deep breath as he stepped off the gangplank onto the deck of the ship. There was a slight step down so he held his hand out to Beverly. He had been more than happy to take her. It wouldn’t be like him to say no to a beautiful woman. Plus he did just enjoy her company. He smiled at her. “You ready for this?” He glanced around at the people beginning to gather. 

In high school he’d avoid events like this. Not fond of crowds and especially a ship. No way off if there was trouble. He adjusted his leather jacket. “What would you like to do first? We can explore the ship? Get a drink? Both?” He was curious about all this. Sort of ready to try new things like actually being social.
