“She’s so beautiful,” Sage sighed longingly. “Look at her, Neptune. Have you ever seen anyone that could captivate a room like that? She’s graceful, beautiful.... Totally out of my league.”
“Tch, bullshit. You’re a pop star now! Did you forget all the girls that scream your name and hold up signs with our faces and hearts drawn all over? You have a better shot than you give yourself credit for.” Neptune glanced over to the pair before taking his drink with a smug shrug. “If you’re gonna do it, better do it quick before someone else does.”
Sage flinched and shook his head, diverting his attention as he picked up a glass of champagne. “Well, she’s clearly with someone right now, I’ll just wait until-”
“Oh for Creation’s sake,” Neptune rolled his eyes and huffed, shoving Sage toward the pair. After a few steps, he popped out from behind Sage and calmly approached Bonnie and Nava with a charming smile. Sage, meanwhile, downed his glass, hoping the ‘liquid courage’ would help, then placed the empty glass on a passing tray.
“Gooood evening, Miss Lavender~. Is he-” Neptune glanced to Bonnie and his brow furrowed a moment. “Oh. Oh, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t tell from afar. U-up close now, I see two visions of beauty.” He looked between the two suspiciously. “Are you ladies... um... together? Orrr...,” a new idea sprung to mind and he turned his charm to Bonnie, speaking to Nava while keeping his eyes on Bonnie’s. “Would you mind terribly if I could have a moment with this gorgeous being before me~?”
Sage watched from the side, trying not to seem like he was just waiting around. He decided to look at the designs and decorations for the time being, hands in his pockets, foot tapping nervously.
