The event was nice, all things considered. As far as Black Tie events had gone Ivan wasn’t fond of them but he was a sucker for an opportunity to fill a notebook with designs and sketches.

The open bar was a plus along with all the people he could glance at and quietly amuse himself with by wondering what it was they were up to. Drinking  his scotch he glanced around, absently letting the ice in his glass clink around.

Familiar, half-familiar, and even some completely unfamiliar faces. Maybe another drink could liven him up enough to actively want to start a conversation.

Walking his way up to the bar, his eyes scanned around the bar top, zeroing in on the individual tipping back a glass rather enthusiastically.

Minho was one of very few people who actually enjoyed dressing up in suits and going to fancy parties. What’s not to like? Aside from the fact that he was more of a hoot to anybody he met at stuffy shindigs, the food and alcohol were something he got to appreciate as he got older. So when he found out the council was hosting a gala event, the son of Njord had made sure to buy tickets intending to go, even without a date.

Since this was the first time he would actually meet people from the city en masse, Minho opted out of his usual loud suits from modeling more and picked up a classic tux. His grandfather always said nobody can beat a man who can pull off a good tux.

He arrived at the place with the gala in full swing, and he immediately set to mingling among the new and highly attractive people. He needed to find Wheein and Dakota later, probably to tease the latter while flirting with the former. But for now, he wanted to see if he could see anybody new friends he had made. Sure enough, Minho spotted a familiar dark-haired guy he met a few weeks ago in one of his visits to the Bohemian District.

“Soooo...you meet anybody important yet? I swear I could never tell who’s who in this place.” He greeted without preamble flashing his signature friendly smile at Jaewon.

After the fiasco which basically was yesterday Jinah went out into the city of Mount Phoenix with renewed courage and hope that afternoon. Having been able to give the happenings of the previous day a spot in both her mind and heart she thought that her life in this city could only go upwards from there. Holding on to that positive thought while she was wandering around the different districts of the city, she felt her feet were growing tired from all her walking around. Starting to look for a nice place to sit and drink something, her eyes eventually fell on something which looked like a lounge of some sorts. Going closer to it to check whether or not it was a good place for her to sit and rest, Jinah smiled upon noticing that the place was packed. Deciding it was a good place to rest then for her too simply because so many people were inside, she entered the place.

Glancing around Jinah liked the way the place was decorated. She’d always found the Egyptian style fascinating and beautiful. Making her way further inside her eyes took in the dim lights and the thick and comfortable looking pillows to sit in. Politely smiling over at the a group of people who turned their attention to her she quickly turned her head away from then to look at something else. Taking in the colorful curtains then and the way the drapes made different sections in the lounge Jinah was busy with looking for an empty place when her eyes fell on the bar and more importantly on the person who was tending it.
