    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura


    welcome to the party - anyone

    The Leviathan’s quip about his lack of control merits a falsely innocent shrug and a smile, but he doesn’t have a chance to say anything in response, as all eyes in their corner of the party turn to the blonde with the cigarette. She stalks toward them with purpose, and Ivar takes a half step back. He has no intention of standing between Solace and her wife, and he is immediately grateful for his quick decision. ‘No, but this is’, says the brunette, providing the dark eyed man with something he’s only ever dreamt of.

    “You can thank me anytime,” he tells her with a grin, pushing back his hair once more.

    Svedka is coming up to join them again, having ensnared a pretty blond in a lacy red dress while he was away. Ivar hardly has time to appreciate them before a brunette in a peach dress appears out of nowhere to kiss Kagerus squarely on the mouth.

    “Could we please have some more diplomatic research?” He calls to her back, because as quickly as she’d arrived she’s leaving again. As he trails her progression back across the patio, he makes eye-contact with Karat, who is emerging from the changing area wearing swimsuit even more revealing than her lavender dress. Her cousin trails behind her, and the expression she wears isn’t unfamiliar. That’s his gift, after all: setting a spark. For the time he is with them, Ivar can make a woman feel as though they are the very center of his world. And they are, for that moment, but life is so full of moments. In this moment, for instance, Wishbone is digging her well-manicured nails into his hip and his well-pressed pants are beginning to feel uncomfortably snug.

    Oh yeah, we’ll get more drinks,” Ivar volunteers following Svedka’s question. He turns to the left, away from the elevator doors where the Casia cousins hover and toward the bar on the opposite side of the open deck. His hand around Wishbone’s slim wrist is viselike; the memory of their last encounter suddenly fresh in his mind as he tugs her through the crowd and toward the bar.

    Their detour is quick and doubly satisfying, and when they return (laden with a platter of emerald absinthe Ivar had seized from the server who’d almost caught them), Ivar has already stripped off his jacket and linen shirt, the tell-tale lipstick concealed in the ball of fabric he’d tucked into the base of one of the many topiaries. With a flourish, he hands the first flute to Kagerus, saying: “I think this deserves another ‘thank you?, doesn’t it?” with a mischievous raise of his scarred brow.
