( open ) there ain't no party like a mafia party

[safesex]

⌛ Who: Those Thai mafia guys, adjacent CR, and anyone who just wants to crash a good time
⌛ What: Celebrating an elopement, Tay's survival of all that chaos in the Western Kingdom, and other things
⌛ When: Early November
⌛ Where: J. Random Bar or two or three
⌛ Warnings: will be added in threads as needed

Tay said drinks were on him when all that madness in the Western Kingdom was over. Vegas wasn't about to forget that. There was a lot to celebrate, after all! Vegas and Pete eloped, Tay survived, they were all reunited, they had some solid plans for the future. They may not be able to find a club in the way Tay would like, but if the night turned into a bar crawl, would any of them complain? Wherever they landed, Vegas was sure to be buying the most expensive drinks on the menu since he's not paying.

The place had music -- nothing like they're used to, but at least it had music. Which would make for an interesting night as the longer they're out and the more champagne Vegas drinks, the more likely he is to try to drag the others into dancing (especially Pete). It may not be what they're used to, but they can still have a good time, right?

"I love you, too," he murmured quietly.

[pinkblinded]

"Have you been having fun? This is the second party we've gone to together," he noted with a little laugh. It was rather fun actually.

[inthewood]

"I have."

A soft, wistful kind of expression came over Henry's face and he stared out at their drunken, happy, and blissfully in happy friends.

"I hope our friends will be just as happy when we get married."

[pinkblinded]

Gaura smiled at him and looked out at everyone dancing and laughing together. Sometimes even singing poorly to the songs even though they clearly didn't know them. It was beautiful.

"I think they will because they love us."

[inthewood]

He followed Gaura's gaze and let out a happy little sigh. It was nice to be a part of someone's happiness. Then he looked at Gaura, suddenly serious, and took both of his hands in his own. "I want to get married in our garden."

[pinkblinded]

Returning his gaze to Henry, he blinked as he heard the serious tone to his voice. Only for his gaze to soften and turn so warm as he smiled at him. Married in their garden. It was so perfect and romantic. More than that it was such a representation of what mattered to them and being married there...

"I would love that."

[inthewood]

Henry burst into smiles and hugged Gaura right there in front of everyone! He thought it was perfect, too! It was perfectly them. Why shouldn't they share that happy day with their friends in the place they loved?

[pinkblinded]

Gaura laughed and embraced the man he loved in turn. Winter wouldn't give them just the right setting with their garden but he had an idea that could work. "What about in spring? When there's so much new growth and color?"

[inthewood]

Henry blinked. "This spring?" His heart fluttered at the thought. Long engagements weren't uncommon in his time. So he never pressed Gaura to set a date or even talk about any plans for their marriage. It would all happen in good time. And this time? Was definitely good. Henry hugged him close and felt tears sting his eyes.

"I would love that!"

[pinkblinded]

Gaura knew he'd said just the right thing without even meaning to. Smiling, he nodded his head as he reached up to push a strand of Henry's hair back behind one of his handsome fox ears. Spring. Yes, this spring would be perfect and he was so happy to know it was met with approval.

"This spring let's get married in our garden."

[inthewood]

When he lets Gaura free from his embrace, Henry takes both his hands in his own. "Do you think we can wear flowers, too?"

[pinkblinded]

"We could make flower crowns and wear them." That would suit them well. He was sure that without having even made the crowns yet. After all, they'd have to wait until closer to the wedding for that.

[inthewood]

"I'd like that," he murmured. But he was excited and it showed in the way he shifted his weight from one foot to the other and, of course, the wagging of the betraying tail! "It will be perfect for us."

[pinkblinded]

Gaura's eyes drifted past Henry's shoulders to look at his tail. Which made him giggle a little when he realized what it was doing. "Henry. Your tail is wagging."

[inthewood]

Henry frowned over his shoulder and hissed out "You fiend!" to his tail.

[pinkblinded]

That made the pink haired man giggle even more, his hand covering his mouth. "It's cute."

[inthewood]

Henry huffed quietly. But then he smiled slowly. "At least now you can read my body language better, even if you can't read my expressions."

[pinkblinded]

"Your ears are expressive too. You should see how pointy they get when you're excited about something you want to share with me." He'd been noticing and had been loving every second of it. Those ears at full attention for him because Henry was thrilled to share a discovery with him.

[inthewood]

"Do they?" He reached up to feel one of his ears (still a bit of a strange feeling), then smiled even more. "I suppose I can forgive them for you."

[pinkblinded]

That brought a giggle to his lips and his wings ruffled in delight behind him. Reaching up, he fixed a curl so it would lay better around one of those ears. Keep it from sticking straight up.

"Please do. I adore them."

[inthewood]

"Very well," he acquiesced with a playful sigh. "For your sake." A smile tugged his lips. "And how are you liking your wings?"

[pinkblinded]

"They're taking some getting used to and I'm a little worried about needing to have holes in the back of my shirts and jackets as it gets colder. But I'm adjusting to them." He glanced back at them. "I like...that it'll be another way for me to able to tell who is me in the reflection."

[inthewood]

Henry dared to brush his fingers over the feathers of one wing and he sighed softly. "They suit you so well," he murmured.

[pinkblinded]

He could feel the shift of his feather which was a strange sensation. Was he going to have to sleep differently now? He wasn't sure and it didn't matter really. Smiling, Gaura gazed at his fiance. "I'll definitely need your help to keep them looking nice."

[inthewood]

They would figure out the sleeping. Henry turned his gaze from the wings to his fiance's face with an eager smile.

"I'll learn everything I can about caring for birds."
