Now we one, two, three, four, five shots deep

why icarus thought he'd find his place a little higher

“Sure is.” The young attuned boasts proudly to Kaisel’s surprise, snickering lightly. People shuffle and flit through, and their little group grows bigger as she indulges in a hint of the spotlight for the moment, her dress picking up the way the lights flicker against the gold sequins of her hips.

“Hi Theea! I ammmm, after tonight that is.” Caly chirps back to Theea as she joins them, peering past Mateo and Koa, a parroting sound of the former to hopefully help the accepted with the shyness that feels almost palpable in the air. “Oh yeah, easy, a Torchline Float comin’ right up.” Flashing her sunny smile to the accepted, Caly looks over to Vesper to ensure he’d picked up the order (and the extra pineapple) before some shots are already sliding their way. The golden liquid within shimmers as she slips one over to Theea, then indulges for a moment in the warmth of Kaisel’s hand at her hip, shifting her weight slightly so that it felt a bit more natural with the way her arm’s slung around him. Her heels help the height difference, but he’s tall in comparison, so she certainly manages her best.

The rest of the shots are divided up amongst them all and laughs a chimed sound alongside Kaisel’s toast, slamming her shot back and setting the glass on the table with a giggle as it burns. Her hand returns to her lips briefly, tapping at the corner to clean up some of the liquor that had tried to escape when she’d taken the shot, before she’s beaming her amber gaze to Koa. “I can getcha somethin’ stronger if you still need it. I've been playin' around with new drinks.” She teases the dragoon, before she’s snagging one of the mojitos to hand to Kaisel and the extra pineapple Torchline Float for Theea, before settling with a big gulp of her own mojito.

Calypso

it's curious, the flame of the fire
