"Mmh. But chartreuse?" he rumbled to his favorite fashion consultant with a gleam of amusement in his emerald gaze. "I thought the yellow greens clash with my eyes." He shook his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he maneuvered the racy, lacy lingerie into the bag before holding its open mouth out to her for the bottle she'd collected.
He seemed to genuinely consider her suggestion for long moments while he plucked a paper plate from a decorative palm tree in a large pot near the fountain. "It has its merit," he eventually informed her solemnly, his poker face firmly in place.
Then he added it to the trash bag and spoke with more amused satisfaction. "In the Underwater City, any Mer found littering or destroying property during LongNight are placed in our jail to sleep it off." He paused to eye an area of smashed glass and then began to pick the large pieces carefully up. "The morning after, they must help clean up the city before they are let go." He glanced at Flora with a wry smile lifting the corner of his mouth. "A tradition I would be happy to introduce up here as well." Community service built character and filled a labor shortage when no one wanted to pick up the pieces at the party's end.
"How was the party this year?" he asked instead, having spent the week of darkness traveling to and from Stormbreak with Melita on their quest.
