You had snuck away from the raging party, needing some air and quiet. That’s when you saw someone you didn’t expect to see.

Paultin:

Paultin. You stood by him, a little worried.

“Hey, you okay?” you asked and he gave you a shrug.

“Fine. What about you?” he asked before taking a heft drink from his wineskin.

“Just needed some air and some quiet.” you answered and Paultin nodded.

You two took a seat in the cool grass in comfortable silence, you head resting on his shoulder. You could hear the muffled cheers of the countdown. Paultin gently moved your head so he could kiss you.

Diath:

Diath. You went and stood by him. He looked over and you gave him a smile,

“You needed air too huh?”

“Yeah” you confirmed, “dragged here by Paultin?”

“And Mavriel, I bet”

“You can say that again.”

The two of you shared a laugh before sitting together in the grass. You noticed how cool and soft it felt. You looked at the stars and heard the muffled countdown. You made your choice. At the countdown’s conclusion you pulled Diath into a kiss

Keelee:

Keelee. The poor kenku must have been dragged to the party by his mentor Mavriel.

“Hey Keelee.”

He squawked in surprise before turning to see you. He relaxed once he knew it was you.

“Oh, hey (Y/N).” he responded warmly.

You two sat in a comfortable silence, not needing to say anything. The muffled countdown broke this though and at its end you kissed the side of his beak.

Strix:

Strix. The poor gal must have been dragged to the party by the others. You went and sat by her, sitting in comfortable silence with her. You heard the countdown and at its end you kissed her cheek.

Evelyn:

Evelyn. She must have been dragged here by her bard friends. You took a seat next to her. “hey Evelyn”

“Oh, hey (Y/N)! What are you doin’ out here? Shouldn’t you be inside?”

“I just wanted some air. What about you?”

“The same really.”

You two chatted before hearing the countdown, muffled as it came from inside. At the end, you gave Evelyn a quick kiss.

Mavriel:

Mavriel. Usually she’d be inside drinking and dancing with some attractive person. What was she doing out here alone? You went and sat by her. She looked over and gave you a smile before looking back up at the stars.

“Whatcha doin’ out here all alone?” you asked her

“Thinking” she shrugged. Ah, there it was. Thinking meant she was in a negative thought loop.

“About? And be honest”

“Home and myself” she answered vaguely but honestly.

“Hey, look at me, everything’s gonna be okay. We’ll figure everything out. Together. We’ll help you. Okay?” Mavriel managed a more authentic smile at that and nodded.

“Yeah, okay”

First off all,

HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU HOW DAAAAAARE YOU

Second of all,

THANK YOU FOR THIS GIFT, FRIEND

Third of all,

“Do you believe in aliens?” mavriel asked randomly.

“Aliens?” Nala asked.

“Yeah. I mean I do. I’ve seen a UFO”

“Mavriel, you’re so dumb that you probably saw a shield thrown and thought it was an alien spacecraft.” Kahn rolled his eyes.

“Please? You haven’t taught me anything yet and you agreed to be my mentor” Mavriel nearly whined.

“Fine kid but you better keep up or I will leave you behind. Got it?”

“Yes sir!”

“Get out your rapier. Try to make me optimistic about taking you on”

Mavriel was a quick learner and managed to impress Paultin.

“So?” Mavriel asked

“Kid, turn out your pockets.”

Jewels and gold fell out.

A large bronze dragon sat before them. Could the five of them really defeat this? Mavriel haad her doubts.

“Guys, this is a bad idea...” Mavriel noted

“No shit, diva” Paultin quipped back

“Rude, Maestro, rude” Mav said with an eye roll.

“Can you two please focus?” Diath sighed

“How are we supposed to fight this?” Paultin asked

“Well... we may not have to fight it...” Mav thought aloud.

“Kid. You’re not thinking what I’m thinking you’re thinking are you?”

“What is she thinking?” Eve asked

“Bardy chick be careful” Strix told Mav

“I probably am to be honest”

“Disgusting kid. Just gross.”

“Hey. I don’t judge you and you don’t judge me”

Paultin sighed. “Don’t die. It’s be sad for you to die like... that”

//Part one of the prize for @tiny-yan-anon

Paultin had his flaws, everyone does after all, but (Y/N) somehow saw past them. To (Y/N), Paultin was perfect. His music was lovely, his smile shown like diamonds, and that wink could melt ice. (Y/N)’s friends on the other hand... didn’t like Paultin at all. To them, Paultin was a bad influence, a drunkard, and a playboy. He wasn’t right for (Y/N) and they made their feelings known to him when (Y/N) wasn’t around.

Paultin knew he couldn’t make a move until he got her friends on board. There was one person he thought he could get advice from: Mavriel. She had recently been through something similar. Her current boyfriend’s friends had hated her until she managed to get them to at the least tolerate her. Maybe she could help her mentor out for once.

Mavriel wasn’t a hard person to find. She was usually with the rest of the wafflecrew or with her boyfriend and his friends. If not with them, she was usually off in the home ec. classroom, well what used to be the home ec room. After the school stopped funding home ec and it essentially died, the classroom became a practice room for band kids but most forgot about it so it was usually empty which is why Mav would hide there for quiet time or to practice guitar.

She wasn’t with the wafflecrew nor her boyfriend and his friends so... that left only one more place to check. Paultin peeked in the old home ec room and low and behold, Mavriel was practicing her guitar.

“There you are kid. You weren’t in the caf so I thought I’d find you here.”

“Sup, maestro. Worried about your favorite freshman?”

“Don’t let it get to your head. Plus I needed some advice”

“Don’t tell me that the mentor is becoming the mentored”

“Mav, this is kind of important.”

“Sorry sorry. What’s up?”

Paultin opened up to her about his problems and Mav listened, nodding every once in a while to show she was listening.

“So what do I do?”

“Easy. Worm your way into the group. Make sure you’re in the group outings and sitting with them at lunch. It’s what I did. They won’t outright say anything to (Y/N) about you since she’s like totally in love with you. Anyway, since they won’t say anything they’ll have to let you keep tagging along. Just do that until they see you’re not whatever impression of you that they have and boom. You’re in.”

“And that’s what you did?” Paultin asked

“Yeah. Just be a bit patient.”

“Thanks Diva”

“Anytime Maestro. Good luck getting your princess, oh Princely One.” Mav joked at the end with a smirk

“Degenerate”

“Jock”

“You take that back”

Mav snorted and the bell rang.

“Never. I’ll see ya later. Bye!” Mav said, grabbing her bag and rushing off.

Paultin held the squirming pup. “Easy, easy. I thought you huskies were supposed to be smart”

“Paultin...why do you have a puppy?” Diath asked

“For Eve” Mav said before Paultin could answer, “Now good luck Maestro”
