Who: Gabriel and Eden What: Shenanigans at the Flower Ball. When: November 21st, night Where: Flower Ball Warnings: TBD
The night had been everything that Gabriel had expected and more. After getting dressed up semi-formally and meeting with Eden, the pair of them had made their way to the Flower Ball. The interior of the space was astounding, every possible surface covered in vines and buds of all shapes and sizes and colours. It was almost an attack on the senses, the floral smells mingling with one another as the bright blooms attracted the many guests to them. Gabriel had been interested to read the little placards accompanying the flowers, dragging his date for the evening around to view all that was on offer. As time passed they had mingled with other guests, both from the Cirque and not, as well as enjoy the canapés and free flowing drinks on offer.
Although he had sworn before the evening not to overindulge, Gabriel had been caught up in the thrill of it all and hadn't noticed how much he had consumed. The fact that he was on the arm of somebody like Eden, who exuded charm and ease, didn't aid matters and he felt as though he needed to keep drinking in order to maintain the courage required to get through the evening accompanying somebody so magnetic. It was why, near to midnight, he was well past tipsy and having an amazing time. He wasn't an obnoxious drunk, thankfully, and so he didn't draw too much attention to himself.
Spotting a number of people having what seemed to be the best time in the world on the dancefloor, Gabriel turned to his date and playfully pawed at Eden's arm as he nodded towards the crowd. "Come dance with me?" he asked, all concerns forgotten and with bright grin on his face despite his red cheeks. This time, the colour was in part caused by the alcohol rather than his own awkwardness, though there had been moments throughout the night where Eden had said and done things to make him blush. He had come to accept that as a constant by now, though the liquid courage was definitely helping.
