Malos bowed to all the applause, grinning as he brushed back his hair. That had been fun, showing off.... but the more he thought about it, dancing privately for Willow had been more enjoyable. There was something much more personable about and less... showy and ego like about it that was so different from his usual dancing at clubs and such. Accepting his shirt back from Githar, he carefully slipped it back on and took a quick glance down his pocket, glad to see Willow was still sleeping there.
He gave a quiet little laugh with a bemused expression on his face. He was entering new territory that even the more shy Galantros had started exploring before he had. It started out as purely a physical attraction to the fairy, though more than just her small lithe body had caught his eye.... but now he could swear it was growing into a crush of some sort. He idly wondered where this was going, and decided to just go along with it.
- - - - -
Galantros danced with his mother, and although she was using her aura to bring him a since of motherly comfort and love, he sensed something was off. Like there was a twinge of sadness.
Galantros: "Mom...is there something wrong?"
Eliza: "Oh.. oh no, sweetie, there's nothing wrong. I've just been thinking about something. I'll tell you later, I promise."
Later, Galantros watched as Black danced with her parents, surprised that she wanted them to show up. While one danced with his girlfriend, the other took him aside and spoke with him. He was anxious as to what they thought about them apparently, still concerned about the large age difference, but was let known that they approved, glad that he was someone that wouldn't intentionally hurt or take advantage of her.
When the spirits of Black's parents said their goodbyes for the night, and she finished receiving her comforts from everyone else, Galantros embraced her, and gave her gentle kisses, stroking back her hair, and wiping her face of tears. He lifted her up since she was growing so tired, and left to take her to her usual room.
On his way there, he overheard a bit of conversation from his parents who where in a seperate room away from everyone else.
Alzamus: "We're going to miss you so much, love, but if it's what you really think you should do...."
This made GL froze, and he paused, sliding up against the wall to hear better without being seen.
Eliza: "You'll both always have the strongest of my love, my dear sweet Alzamus. But when I leave tomorrow night... Yes, I believe it would be for the best. I know you two waited so many centuries to see me again, and to do this must seem somehow cruel but.."
Alzamus sighed, and could be heard kissing his wife.
Eliza: "You need to move on with your lives. To remember me in some ways, but to forget in others. It may be the norm perhaps for most of Limbo to do this, to see their loved ones so often every year, but I think it will always bring you two pain that you could never adjust to. It's just the way you two are. You wouldn't be living for yourselves, you'd be living for my next visit unlike others."
Alzamus: "I hate to admit it, but you're right. All those years, even despite you telling me to, and I... I even tried a few times, I could never care about anyone like I have you. You are truly my soul mate. Being able to see you again, and having the chance to properly say goodbye will heal a lot of old aches though. So, are you going to tell Galantros tonight?"
Eliza: "No... he's already gone to take Black to bed. They'll probably spend the night innocently cuddling and sleeping together, which is so sweet. I'll tell him first thing in the morning, have a long talk about it with him about it. I'm concerned about how he'll take it."
Alzamus: "So am I, but it has to be done."
Eliza: "He's just so sensitive... I'm so glad he grew up to be such a sweetheart.
By this point, Galantros was shaking a bit, his eyes watering. He wanted to run, but kept in mind he was carrying Black, who had also heard everything that was said, though she was falling asleep. He eventually got Black to her room, and laid her down gently amongst the pillows, giving her a kiss as he sat on her bed. His mind was rushing with things. He heaved a heavy sigh... he was trying not to be bothered by the bit of news he just overheard. He tried to instead focus on comforting Black about her parents, stroking her hair, and trying to soothe her to sleep with a slightly trembling hand.
GL: I shouldn't be bothered by this! Damn it, I was lucky just to be able to see her again and to be able to say goodbye... So many people in other worlds don't get that privilage... Stop this, Galantros. Don't be upset!

Galantros hadn't wanted to think about it, in fact he was trying to put it out of his mind, with little success. Black sitting up and hugging him didn't help him forget at all
GL: "I...I mean... it's..."
The reaper gave a shakey breath, picked up and held Black to him, and laid on the bed. He took some comfort in being hugged and held by the kitsune, and by holding her back.
GL: "I... I guess she has a point. I know it's not quite right, but I can't help... help but feel a little cheated still."
Tears ran down his face as he tried to compose himself, and spent the rest of the night with Black. Eventually he managed to calm down.

With the party pretty much ending, Malos sat somewhat alone at the bar with an energy drink. His father and Minazi had gone out somewhere for the night, since he hadn't qujite wanted to leave yet... Willow was still sleeping in his shirt, and he didn't want to leave yet until she woke up. Actually, it wasn't too late at night, and he was wondering if he could show her around Limbo a bit since she was apparently getting plenty of rest...
After a while, he decided he'd try to wake her up.
Malos: "Willow.... Willow, wake up please. The party's over... and I want to ask you something..."

Malos: "Well, the night's still fairly young, you had a nice rest, there's plenty of energy drinks and sweet drinks and foodstuffs to packup... I was wondering if you'd like to go on a night on the town with me, explore a few Dalos city hotspots with me. I've heard there's even a place in the underground level where there's several community areas of small sized species like yourself. That could be interesting to check out, since I've never seen them myself..."
Jacob overheard what Malos was saying, and grinned a bit.
Jacob: "That doesn't sound like a bad idea. We could go city-exploring for a while. There should still be quite a bit to do with the festival still on..."
- - - - -
Galantros calmed enough, and he spent his time stroking Black's back, kissing her, brushing back her hair, and just generally cuddling with her until she fell asleep. He whispered thanks to her, meaning for trying to help him feel better... which she had. Yawning just a little bit himself, he folded his wings around her protectively.

Malos: "Heh, well I'll be there with you... and we don't have to go anywhere too crowded if you don't want to."
He couldn't help but gently stroke her hair with his pinky at her nervous gesture. Getting up after stocking up on enough sweet stuff for Willow, he waved goodbye to the people around the bar, the vampires, Jacob, and the few remaining people left at the dwindling party. Once outside the Lazeranos mansion, Malos waved down a small private transport which started taking them out a ways, and then down into the underground middle section of the floating landmass of Dalos city.
There was a mysterious and strange beauty to the middle-section of Dalos, with large crystals in the "ceiling", walls, and even amongst some of the floor glowing different colors and providing more than enough light to see in what would otherwise be a completely pitch black cave. The place was as much as a bustling city as Dalos' surface. Getting out of the car, They both noticed there was a mixture of small minaturized buildings raised up to average humanoid eye level inbetween "regular" buildings. Eventually, they came to an fairy decent sized area that was almost nothing but these buildings... like a regular center with plantlife and everything, except smaller.

Doing a bit of searching around Abigail and Sephiroth found Harold and Fal'Jenul in the entertainment room. Both were chuckling and playing billards, with apparently Fal'Jenul in the lead.
Harold: "So the black "8" ball... I can't, uh, 'sink' that one until I get the others first, right?"
Fal'Jenul: "Yes, that's right. And I just need to make one more shot before I can go for... Oh, Sephiroth, Abigail, hello! Alzamus said we could make use of this room if we wanted to."

Muerte seemed to yawn, before taking a slow, large bite out of some ribs he had on a platter. He had gone through at least several plates
Muerte: "I believe I am getting somewhat tired, yes..."
- - - - -
Abigail: "That doeesn't sound like a bad idea, Sephiroth... I'm getting a little tired myself..."
The land nymph gave a small yawn, and leaned into Sephiroth, resting her head on his shoulder.
Fal'Jenul: "Well, you could get rooms and rest here for the night. Alzamus and Eliza had to go and have a private talk for a while, they said they should be back momentarily."
It was at that point that the couple came into the room.
Alzamus: "Yes, you're more than welcomed to stay the night here if you wish, and make yourselves comfortable..."

Rosemary put her hand on Muerte's back, "Once again, I think you need a lecture on gluttony, but that can wait until tomorrow night." She had hoped that the drinking too much the previous night would have taught him a lesson, but it didn't because he barely remembered it and he hadn't suffered from a hangover like she had actually hoped he would.
Veni leaned into Jacob as Rosemary took Muerte home to bed. "I wonder... I wonder if Limbo has superior sunscreen for vampires. There's a bunch of items that beat what we got, why not that? We should search for a sort of vampire specialty store. It would probably be open late too."
"Oh and another one of these." He held up the charm, tired it, and turned into a buffer more manly man. He pinched where he should have had boobs to make sure he didn't gain just small ones, but realized his chest was more firm. "I think it's confused."
He tried it again, this time the charm got it right. He barely changed at all except for a few obvious places that needed to become more feminine (slightly wider hips, longer lashes, breasts, etc.). He wasn't a bustious beauty like Jacob or Rosemary, they weren't terribly small but not large either (probably a C cup). Veni pinched his own boobs as he checks to make sure it was right this time.

Sephiroth looked a little uncomfortable with the nymph on him in front of the 'parents' especially after the incident he had with his mom earlier. "It is easy enough to get home, I wanted to tell you that I planned to leave before I left." He shook his head slightly. "Hmph I never showed respect to my elder (meaning dad) before, why am I beginning to now?"
Sephiroth thought about the offer and then shook his head. "No, thanks. I would rather avoid all the loose heavenly hosts freely roaming around Limbo while I sleep."

Abigail: "Well, yes, actually. Just about some uninteresting things. Do I take the same room as before?"
- - - - -
Malos: "Anywhere in particular you want to check out first, Willow?"
The young-ish reaper scanned some of the small buildings... Clothing stores, dance clubs, drink bars, magic shops, electronics and appliances... There was a lot open despite the late hour, probably due to the festival still going on. A flock of spirits flew by, followed by several pixies and fairies, some partially clothed or barely clothed. This brought to mind something for Malos
Malos: "Not that it's a bad thing for you to be naked, Willow, but maybe we should get you something to wear... er, at least a bottom piece. Limbo does has laws about complete nudity, but as long as you cover the most important part... your uhm... *ahem*, you're okay in public areas. Though I think there are areas around here that allow complete nudity as well, though I've never been to any of them...
"Maybe we can also get me a disguise rune or a shrink charm while we're at it so you don't have to wear out your magic making me small. They also probably have a growth charm if you to become big without tiring yourself out."
