Scorpius had been furious when his bites began to itch. They hurt and that was not a good thing. No amount of salve seemed to cool them completely. There was also a sense of dread about the whole issue. Still, he was not going to let it ruin his Halloween, or his life, for that matter. His costume was an interesting one, Legolas Greenleaf, from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He was complete with a crossbow on his back and it seemed to suit him, even if it was a little uncomfortable.
He hadn't been back to Eros since he had seen Patrick, but that wasn't due to any regrets, only a busy schedule and those spots on his body. Now he was back and he quickly scanned the room, not seeing who he wanted just yet. Instead his eyes widened as they fell on his parents.
He headed for the bar and ordered a drink. Surely they would ask what he was doing here, but this was the party to go to. He wasn't going to hide because of the curse. He sipped at the alcohol, watching the people as they arrived.
