time & place: after dinner, the winter court's courtyard. availability: open to all.

DESPITE THE WARMTH OF THE HEATING CHARMS SCARING THE CHILL AWAY, TIA STILL FOUND HERSELF HUFFING OUT SOFT, WHITE MIST. Even if the body did not feel the chill, it remembered it. Such strange thing, this heating magic was. It could warm the body and the mind, but it could not deceive the senses for long. Her long, golden gown and a matching golden lace mask felt cold to the touch in the brisk, open air of the courtyard.

still, she wished not to venture back to where the dining tables are.

A moment of solace, of peace. The wine had been so wonderful -- hot and laced with cinnamon, star anise and black pepper, and it protected her against the chill of the night. The feast was delicious, but it left her hungering for something else. For home. The feasts her family held had come to a halt when the Págos family invited them for Yuletide. Were the cooks at home disappointed or did they throw a feast of their own? While her father's fortune and his merchant's business fell upon her siblings' shoulder ( she cared not to command ships to other kingdoms or courts ), she still had a duty to the noble Malgrave name.

and that duty was not to sulk on her own.

Sighing, Tia spied the table with refreshments and a fae that stood beside it.

"I wouldn't drink the punch if I was you. They tend to spike it with something they swear is cinnamon, but I know my spices. That is not cinnamon." she spoke with a soft chuckle. "I'm not the one to order others around, but perhaps you'd be wiser to try the mulled wine. It is truly delicious."

☾ ― social events such as the one hosted that evening in the winter courtyard was the exact thing that aitim despised. a wish to much rather be inside her studio with a canvas before her outweighed the need for her to show her face. if they could have had it their that would have been where they would have been. instead aitim was standing beside the refreshment table reaching for the punch she had always favoured.

☾ ― the winter liege's hope to avoid interaction that evening had been spoiled the moment the other had approached the table that she had been standing at. listening to her warning as her own hand begins to pick up the ladle to scoop the familiar liquid into her glass. the warning brings a soft laugh to her lips. ❝ your warning leads one to believe that you are not from the winter court. ❞ the liege had grown up with this punch and nothing of it had changed. if the wine had been a warming factor to them she found the punch worked even better.

☾ ― ❝ i have consumed this punch for the majority of my lifetime in the winter court. there is cinnamon, amongst other seasonings within the punch. i don't think i have met a winter fae that does not appreciate the blend that goes into the punch. ❞

the more one drinks, the less cold the air around them shall be. at least, that's what he's telling himself after each glass found empty in his hand, quick to search for a new one. taliesin finds himself stumbling down a dark hallway by the open courtyard after having parted with a group of fae in a fit of drunken laughter. it is only once the music somewhat subsides, and a particularly disembodied sigh snaps him back into reality, realizing that he is apparently lost.

lost?

however could be lost in a place he's frequented his whole life? perhaps he's had too much to drink. perhaps, someone is playing a trick. "not fair-" he's usually the one doing the tricking, after all. "not funny, either! if you wish to dance, there are much better ways to ask me, like... dragging me on the dance floor or... stabbing me or-- fuck, it's cold."

☾ ― magic does wonders to stave away the chill in the winter air, it's something the female is more than thankful for. though as much as the magic had been doing it's job there's still a chill that reaches into her core. a shiver that she can't quite shake as she consumes another glass of wine left out for everyone to enjoy. the wine definitely added a layer of protection for the chill surrounding them. as she takes another sip from her glass her eye catches the sight of the other wandering off from the party.

☾ ― following behind the familiar party, observing where exactly it is that they are wandering off to as they venture further away from the charmed, heated space. chill setting in more despite her warm layers the further away that they walk from the event space. ❝ i think i am more curious how stabbing you would leave you to wish to dance with someone. ❞ head turning to the side as she ponders the idea. ❝ yes it is cold, why would you venture away from the line of magic meant to keep us warm? ❞

Underneath the sparkling sky, did you see FAYE PERAYA being tipped by the Cauldron? No, that's just AITIM PAGOS, who is the LIEGE from WINTER. I heard that on most days they're DEXTEROUS and METICULOUS but if you catch them on a dark night, they can be TACITURN and RETICENT. But if you really get to know them, you'll know that they vibe with CLOTHING SPECKLED WITH PAINT STAINS, LEARNING TO FORGET, THE SWEET SURRENDER OF SILENCE.

Underneath the sparkling sky, did you see SEO YEJI being tipped by the Cauldron? No, that's just MIRAE VIRILION, who is the HIGH LADY from HYBERN. I heard that on most days they're ASTUTE and ELOQUENT but if you catch them on a dark night, they can be IMPETUOUS and FINICKY. But if you really get to know them, you'll know that they vibe with LIPSTICK STAINS ON YOUR COLLAR, LONG HAIR PULLED INTO A BRAID, THE PRINCESS IN AN IVORY TOWER.

Underneath the sparkling sky, did you see LUO YUNXI being tipped by the Cauldron? No, that's just XU YICHENG, who is the LORD/THIRD IN COMMAND from NIGHT. I heard that on most days they're INCISIVE and RESILIENT but if you catch them on a dark night, they can be ABRASIVE and RETICENT. But if you really get to know them, you'll know that they vibe with IDYLLIC DREMS CRUSHED LIKE ROSE PETALS, ALL THOSE WHO WANDER CAN NEVER BE LOST, BUILDING WALLS AROUND YOUR VERY SOUL.
