Date Auction Hero
Leia was incredibly relieved that someone bid on her at all, and actually really happy that it was Wizard who did the bidding. They seemed to run into each other at random a lot, so it was almost fitting.
Once the bids were done, she ran over to her white haired friend and took hold of his hands as she stared into his eyes with a bright smile on her face. “Wizard, thank you so much for bidding on me! Did you have anything in mind you’d like to do? I could always cook for you, if you like.”
He wasn't quite sure what to do at that auction-- the notion of buying someone for a date was so odd. Then again, most human tradition was both odd and new to him, so he allowed himself to be swept along the oddity once again, this being his first festival where he actually participated.
He had been looking for ways to spend his money and... apparently, the profit would fund a masquerade ball. It didn’t seem so bad, considering he had much to spend. While he wanted to try his luck and maybe buy a certain someone, but alas, she was not in the list of people that volunteered. Perhaps it was because she was happily in the arms of someone. But then again, she bought a date. A girl. But still. It was a date.
Understanding this whole auction business woudl take some time, it seems.
Waiting away from the crowd, he opted to let the auction end first before approaching his supposed date. But before he could do it himself, she was already running towards him and-- being touchy. Slowly, he retracted his hands from hers and shook his head, wondering why she was thanking him so much.
“Someone else would have, if I have not.” He says so honestly, as he looks away from the mermaid. “...i’m... not very familiar with how dates go. Food would be nice...”
