A Beach Feast (IC)

by **The Selkie** » Mon Mar 02, 2020 7:11 am

Isla Saighead of the Tribe of Westmeath.
I smiled back at the grin and made to rise. "Well, then, Lugh...", I said with a smile, "...how about we put your skills to the test?"
Pina giggled at that. "Oh, he's a good dancer.", she said and glanced to Donny, "Better then a certain block of wood anyway!"
Donny shrugged. "I'm a pikeman, Pina, not a ballroom dancer.", he said.
"Might be more fun if you were both.", Pina said, leaned over and kissed her boyfriend, a quick kiss on the lips. "But you're awesome like you are..."
"We'll be going, then...", I told the couple and motioned for both men to grab their drinks and leave the two to their privacy.

Aonas Folracht of the Tribe of Wicklow.
"I am sure, that the huntsmen, who got us this chap, will appreciate your words.", Dad said with a grin, "The lads should be around. Kieran and Eoin, to my knowledge."
"Those are the two.", Ilaine confirmed with a nod, "They also model for BI... and they have rather protective girlfriends."
Auntie Isa raised an eyebrow. "Oh, is that so?", she asked, smiled, "Then I doubt, that the two ladies in question will have something against me asking the two for a little dance or two..."
"Isa...", Dad said and nodded in my direction, "...you're going to have enough dances tonight as is."
Isa looked at both women with us. "A girl can never have enough dance partners, right?", she asked them.

Macha Taise, of Cork Descent.
I smiled, especially at Joshua's gesture of reminding his little sister of her best behaviour.
"That it'll be!", Kay said with a wide grin, stretched out her hand with her fist balled to the two girls, a typical brofist, "And who knows, maybe we have a little adventure for ya in store, too!"
Fiona nodded. "Oh, the Archipelago has quite a few interesting things in store.", she agreed and looked to Joshua and Sono as she added with a wink: "Not only for adventurous little scamps!"

Juna Leibhéalta of the Tribe of Cork.
Well, time for a change in perspective, don't you think? We want to stay with the funny bits and while Finny is a nice lad, he knew, when he was out of his league and when he had to beat a retreat.
He submitted to Alex's show of affection, but if she believed, that her shiny underwear was going to impress anyone, she had a whole other thing coming.
"Yeah, will do.", Finny said, smiled at me, "See ya in a moment, Juna."
I nodded. "Hurry along, before Alex gets too many UV-rays into her eyes!", I said with a grin in Selkie, Finny snorting in bemusement.
Good.
I watched him hurry along, took a small breath and then turned to Alex, switching back to English, as I smiled. "So... you like the Archipelago?", I asked.
I knew, what she would most likely try to say and try to do, but I could play oblivious quite well, when I wanted, to.

Lucas grinned at Kiah and blushed as she said such statement, it was a bit embarassing but he laughed it off.

From the reactions of Ida and to what she said to her younger sister for sure she had a... Troubled streak of relationships, all of them without finding that ideal someone to share your life.
Then they all break apart to grab what they needed for their food, meanwhile their mascot was to be protecting like the guardian he was.

From what Enya said nothing was to happen between those two, and knowing, Lucas and from what she saw of Kiah she was safe on that matter, but Lise wasn't like those obssesive jealous girlfriend's, that meant she was to be calm.

"Everyone needs a good dance so for sure that's not gonna be a issue. Knowing Lucas, he will say yes if that means have fun..." She snickered to Enya.

Lucas Walker
They both kept their distance from each other as they went to the salad stall, Lucas ready to carry a large box with goods for them to or help Kiah with hers at least. It was all a bit tense as they walked silent, luckily she spoke, he just looked at her with a smile and sighed.

"No need to apologize for that, I get you were teasing me hehe." He chuckled. "Don't worry, like your older sister said, you will find that special someone sooner or later, just enjoy your life and don't think too much about it..." He smiled warmly at her as they kept walking by.

As soon as Kiah said about a dance he grinned and nodded his head happily.

"Of course!!! Why would I reject to have a dance with such beautiful lady like you, it would be fun." He said, that was something he couldn't deny about Kiah, even so his heart was already with his beloved Lisolette, it was more of a way of lift her spirit's and have her enjoy too.

Athena Freezis
The dance floor, the perfect way of find out and to make Leo see her romantic in him, it was risky?? Yes. It was rush?? Yes. But it was gonna be something great out of all?? Yes. Her intuition never failed her.
Athena took the initiative as she took his hand and then they went to the dance floor. The two musicians were playing a slow dance, which was the best thing she needed and as such she looked at Leo and smiled warmly at him; her body closing to his, she was very close to as they begun to dance, her head resting on his chest. It was so romantic!!

She wanted to say something but she decided to wait until the dance ended, there she will let herself open to him. But from her sole expression she was so happy and enjoying this. It was going good as of now.

Vladimir Toschya
For sure they didn't liked the threats, but it was a fact such delay's could bring the entire plan to a halt until they have the enough resources. But it's all good. At least nothing will happen as he did the switch for sure.

They had the money to seal the deal, he had his guns and one of the deadliest assassins to use for taking out some of the people needed to be eliminated to make the coup happen.

"I know well you and your partner will contact me, as so Ma'am Croce so there won't be need of passing my number or email when I know by now you two might have it." He said as he looked at the sea. "The rest of the payment will be done through a transaction to the CCVF if that seems good to both of you." Then he extended his hand for a shaking at Mr. Esecutore.

[...]

Enya Cíochach of the Tribe of Navan.
I smiled, giggled with Lise as she revealed to me, that she was not upset about my older sister or her words - and that her boyfriend would most likely not be either.
For a moment, I wondered, if I should ask him, too... then again, my dance card for tonight was pretty full already.
Maybe. Let's see.
"So, he is a good dancer?", I asked with a smile.

Kiah Cíochach of the Tribe of Navan.
I blushed lightly at the compliment, grinned. "Thank you.", I said and meant it.
Searc, why do the good lads always belong to other lassies?
We arrived at the salad stall and before us stood the very impressive figure of Isla Stiúrthóir of the Tribe of Fingal, the Beast of Rhiannon just finishing distributing a huge portion to some lassies.
She smiled at us. "Aight, ya two, how much for how many people?", she asked with a grin, "And anything someone doesn't want?"

Leonard Rualacha of the Tribe of Wicklow.
Abhcan was certainly smiling upon us as she rested her head on my chest.
It was not a bad feeling, her body in my arms felt natural... that also answered the question of how close she'd go. I think I got the message.
She was enjoying herself and so was I.
My hand on the small of her back was softly stroking there as we danced, me not saying a word either until the end...

Aurora Alce.
Maestro nodded, took the hand.
"We'll give you payment information, but it won't be the CCVF.", he said. The CCVF was a facade, that was true, but what good was a facade, which was supposed to be clean, when there was dirt thrown at it? A dirty facade invited unwelcome attention. "I believe, that we have a deal, Siore Toschya."
The money in the suitcase would be enough for a good start, I knew that, but there would be more needed.
I looked again at...

Someone wanted to equip an army.
All that someone would need were the soldiers. We'd sell them the weapons.

Brenda Iarnród of the Tribe of Louth.
Yvain smiled slightly. "Good evening to you as well.", he said and offered his hand to Nolly, "Shall we?"
The young woman nodded. "We shall, Mister Saighead.", she said and turned to Jason and Karen. "If you'd excuse us?"
"And me as well.", I said and bowed my head lightly. "I spotted a prior engagement." Nolly smiled. She knew, who I meant and she knew, that I'd drag Bran onto the dance floor and that he'd like it. I added to Karen and Jason: "See ya around, hopefully."
And with that, we went our separate ways.
I had little concern about them finding something to do or to enjoy themselves.

Nia Sneachtúil, of Cefnffordd Descent.
I smiled as Marion introduced us, bowing my head lightly to Khalid, who returned the gesture in kind, Tea and Meave leaving it at a hearty "Hello!" and a nice "Hi, Mister Faris!"
It was not as formal, but it was not impolite.
"I am familiar especially with those two scamps.", he said at the question in the end, "These two rascals, believe it or not, model for BI, the host of this party. Milady Nia on the other hand..." He smiled. "I am afraid, that I am not as familiar with you as I should be."
"Don't worry. And just Nia is fine.", I returned, "Pleasure to meet you!"
"The pleasure is mine.", Faris replied with a smile, before addressing the entire group: "So... how about we take care of that business? A few photographs and a bit of posing and off we go!"

Gerald Vicente
At the Beach

Gerald took the hint and followed Isla and Lugh, taking his drink with him. He still had half a glass of Liberica when the three of them left the lovers to their devices; not wishing to be rude, he grinned before giving the two a nod as he left.
"So, where's our next port of call?" Gerald then asked the two. From the corner of his eye he could see Pina and Donny being affectionate; in his thoughts he wished them good luck.

For now, she couldn't be slightly happier that at the moment, Fintan is out of the picture as she sat face to face with the blonde girl. "Well, the Archipelago looks fine, I guess. I mean, the attraction of this resort already proves my point", replied her knowingly.

While it might sound too harsh for her to be "terrorizing" the much younger Juna, Alexandra knew that her authority must be made clear, even by any means necessary. For starters, Alexandra tried to play the young Juna into self-humility by flaunting the latter's "womanly" aspects against her own. "Speaking of attraction, you do sure attract men's eyes with that little bow of yours", commented Alexandra in a teasing manner while subtly referring to the latter's underwear piece. "I have to say, it looks gorgeous for a more younger lass like you", ironically enough, Alexandra's "humble" compliments were in stark contrast to how Juna's own lingerie fared against Alexandra's.

"A standard mechanized infantry battalion. Soviet-era." Tomasz replied. "Bring your own shipping. Already throughly inspected for any mechanical failings, though."

Stanislaus remained silent. He had his deep, deep suspicions about "Toschya", and if it were up to him he would've had Vlad drowned in the Vistula with a block of concrete chained to his wrists. Unfortunately, Marie seemed to be rather naive, and the pencilpushers at the Foreign Military Sales Program had approved this beforehand...But he had his plans if it happened.

Tomasz, for his part, didn't know exactly who Toschya was, and hoped he never found out.

Marie
I blushed slightly and smiled. "Thanks, guys..."
I took a seat and accepted the tea. "Y'know..." I remarked. "A few years back I had my first tea here. Strong stuff. Not as good as the caffeine pills that got me through my first year of college, but...Pretty good. On par with a good coffee."

Why did I need caffeine pills? Well, the short answer was "militamen".
Long answer? "Goddamned fucking militamen."

I had no idea if the lax discipline applied to the rest of the Commonwealth, but if it did, we were fucked if we had to call them up to fight.

Adelheid
"Hellsing, or van Helsing?" Adelheid replied. "And yes, I have had those. Basically just donuts...Hm."
She turned to Banphrionsa. "I see. I might grab the crossbow on my way out tomorrow...I'll try and see if I can convert it to be belt-fed."

Kay and I looked away at the two flirting to give them a bit of privacy - as much as we could, at least. Needless to say, if the guy was trying to impress us, we would, at most, reward his troubles with a dance.
He was married, after all, and married men were off limits.
And not my type. And I was almost certain, that he wasn't Kay's either.
Anyway, Kay looked at Roksana with a smile. "We were just telling about our homelands and I believe, that it's now your turn, searrach.", she said and turned to me.
I smiled as well. "I think so, too.", I said and took a breath, "I am from the Sultanate of Kyrenaia, more poetically, the Land of the Five Deserts. It is, as the name might suggest, a rather hot and dry place. I was born in a city by the name of Sinope, in the Ilkhanate of Megido. It's a nice place. Hot, dry, dominated by the Army, where my Dad is an officer." I shrugged lightly. "I study at the Haram Girls' Academy in Utica, which is a whole different story from little Sinope." I let a beat pass. "We're an old nation, steeped deep in tradition and history. I do not say, that we are the best, most awesome and most wonderful, for I know, that there are nations, which are quite neat, too..." I gave Kay a meaningful glance, who grinned. "...but I am proud to be Kyrenaian."
"And that's the important part.", Kay said, reaching over to squeeze my shoulder.

The Aryanians are intrigued and impressed by Samira’s explanation about her homeland to say the least, it’s one of the occasions they’ve seen people who’re sincerely proud of their heritage. The couple themselves are also proud of their heritage as direct descendants of the civilization who is the greatest superpower of the ancient world so much that the Middle Kingdom of Minroz regarded Aryan as its equal. They’re just being quiet and polite about it. Certain events back home have made them careful with words in a distressing environment. Arrogant folks in Aryan might mistook Kyrenaia as a ‘desert backwater’ like the certain Arabic nation in Iclamia, which is trying to recover from its civil war.

“It’s good to be proud of your heritage.” Roksana quipped. “Nothing wrong with it~. This Kyrenaia place sounds like fun place to visit~. Which reminds me, what brought you all the way to these islands, away from home?”

Marion smiled and said, “Sounds lovely and simple! Let’s get to it then.” And with that she left it to Mister Feris to guide them to where they needed to go, and to manage them so that they could quickly and effectively take the pictures he needed for his work.

As much as she liked the practically tropical paradise, work was work, and it needed to get done before she could enjoy herself.

Thinking on the matter, Marion pondered on the whereabouts of the sender of the email she had received to be invited here in the first place. Obviously they’d have to be here, what sort of organizer would they be otherwise?

There were a lot of people out there, he (or she) could be anywhere. Regardless, she was quite content staying by Nia’s side for the time being, lest there at least be some modicum of downtime.

"Aah miaj amikoj, last thing I'd want to do is but into the love of another woman, the ones we gather, male or female are precious to us so I can understand the sentiment." Despite the fact it'd been a good long while since Ayla had been married now but that didn't matter, "But still, a good dance would top the evening off well. So I hope I can do so without making too much a fuss. Still I agree, a dance is a dance, it'd be improper to refuse someone's request like that. One needs to keep their skill up!"

Isla Saighead of the Tribe of Westmeath.
"The dance floor, I'd guess.", Lugh said, smiling at me, which made me blush, then at Gerald, "Though we'd have to organize a partner for you... hm..." He had an idea, I saw it in his eyes, as he let go of me: "Wait here for a minute, I'll get you someone to dance with!"
And off he dashed.
He ran towards a cluster of young women, who looked much older then me (let's face it, I looked as if I was 15), around their mid-twenties. I recognized some from catalogues of BI from the last years and I recognized, that I would never be able to pull off their clothes, mainly because I had not the silhouette.
Or mountains.
I looked at Gerald. "I have no idea what he is up to.", I told him.

Juna Leibhéalta of the Tribe of Cork.
Alex tried to flaunt her more adult built to push me into submissiveness (that, and her fake gemstone swimsuit, which didn't really look suited for swimming unless one wanted to dive for said fake gemstones - I had no idea, that they were real), but she took the wrong lass for that...
She complimented my swimsuit, with the bow between my mammaries and told me, that a lot of men were surely looking.
"Not only men, apparently.", I countered, smiled and closed the distance between us, bringing my mouth to her ear as my arm snaked around her neck: "And if you are interested, I surely would know a few lassies, who might be able to help you with certain... urges." My breath was brushing over her ear, our bodies close. "I would take care of that myself, but I am afraid, that I have a date later tonight, with a gentleman, who we both know. You meanwhile..." I smiled, let a beat pass. "...don't be afraid of being who you are. If you like girls more then boys, you don't need to keep up appearances around here!"
I moved back, but not without giving Alex a little peck on the cheek.

Macha Sáraigh of the Tribe of Clonmel.
I smiled as Marie was blushing - so there was a girl under that hard shell after all. Don't try to deny it, lass.
"Oh, really?", Doctor Mamach said with a smile, "Judging by the comparison, it was a wake-up mixture. I know those well enough... enough night shifts trying to finish that one blasted paper."
"For Professor Púbasach.", her male colleague agreed with a nod, "Who never gave any extensions to the filing deadline..." He smiled. "I tried coffee in Teressien, during a congress, once. Not bad, but I liked the cake more."

Yven Barriall of the Tribe of Monaghan.
"If you manage to convert it...", I said with a smile, "...please send me the video. I want to see that." I grinned by now, then offered my hand to her. "Say, Heidi, how about a dance? Next one's going to be a bit quicker."
The next dance, I knew, would be a quicker piece after this slowed and more romantic piece. Not that Heidi wasn't a pretty lass, far from it, but I was not (yet?) romantically interested in her. I wanted to be a friend to her, for a friend of a friend was my friend.

Samira Tanqulia.
Oh, indeed, Kyrenaia was a fun place to visit - if a hot one, too. Utica had a Daily Mean Temperature, that went only below 20 degrees Celsius between January and February and that was the time, where the most rain falls, too. Other then that, we have temperatures easily exceeding 45 degrees Celsius in July and August.
Staying hydrated and not going out, when the sun was high, were the key.
At the question of what brought us here, Kay smiled slightly. "I model for BI, that's the host, and I was in this year's Archipelago Shooting, which's conclusion is celebrated tonight as well as a few other things." She shrugged. "I like it, too. It's a fun job!"
She nodded to me.
I shrugged. "We won the trip in a lottery my Mother participated in and I have school holidays.", I said. It was mundane and I knew it. "What about you two? Honeymooning?"

Nia Sneachtúil, of Cefnffordd Descent.
Marion was almost a natural for what Mister Khalid wanted: Despite his earlier words, he wanted little posing, as little as possible, and wanted to catch us in the moment, natural, free, as if no one with a camera was there.
I didn't even hear the sound of the camera, the whirring of his analogue device as it did its job.
He led us to a bench with a table, just as someone delivered delicious looking salads. I think, I recognized them as some colleagues of my cousins. It was enough for all of us, including the delivery girl, but she excused herself.
Tea and Meave were quick to thank the lass and Khalid, the latter by giving him a hearty peck on the cheeks, and sat down.
"Please, ladies, have a seat.", he asked of us, reached under the table to take out a small cooler with cooled ice tea. "And worry about nothing."
I looked at Marion. "You look as if you are missing someone.", I asked her.

Aonas Folracht of the Tribe of Wicklow.
We grinned and Isa gave Dad a meaningful glance.
He chuckled and then said in his deep, rumbling, yet warm voice: "My skills in that regard may have rusted away, Milady Ayla, but I would be glad, if I could see, what is still there." He smiled slightly. "If you would be willing to have a dance with an old man like me, that is."
I glanced from Ilaine to Isa and back. The two women communicated something wordlessly and seemed to reach an agreement regarding me and my time on the dance floor.
It did not seem as if I had any say in that matter...

Fiona and Kay smiled both, although the latter grinned more then smiled.
"Aight...", the guy at the grill said and looked at us - it was our turn now. "What can I get ya?"
There were sausages on the grill, steaks twice the size of Bianca's face, cutlets and other pieces being grilled as well, plus baked potatoes and a lot of fruit being caramelized in situ, plus even more then that.
Bread was handed out by the half-loaf.
The lad recognized me and bowed his head deeply, but that was about it with formalities - something I appreciated.

Over on the dance floor, the close and romantic dance with in full swing.
Besides Leonard and Athena, there were quite a few couples getting some attention: Elin Blaidd and her girlfriend Ritu, for example, the two dancing almost glued together. The black swimsuit of the other contrasted beautifully with the white one of the former.
Prince Elian was on the sideline with Oda, the mother of Prince Alrich, watching and explaining. It was clear, that the next dance of his was with her, not a romantic piece.
Erblin Piteog of the Tribe of Wicklow with his husband Sírlam were on the dance floor as well, not as close as Elin and Ritu, but still close.
Finley Leibhéalta, Juna's older brother, led Felicia Leathchúpla over the dance floor, the latter's two younger sisters dancing together as well. Yvain and Nolly, one being representative of SDY, the other heir to Gabha Motorworks, were dancing as well.
Maybe most surprising, however, was Branwen, who was dancing with Naelle, the second dance - it did not look like this one would be their last dance together tonight. The two were dancing close, not lovers-close, but closer then close friends, their fifteen centimeters in height-difference not mattering much.
In fact, the two looked cute, an impression, which was made stronger by the young man looking Branwen in the eyes, much to her very visible delight.
Some of the other lads thought him to be one of the luckiest lads tonight.
He knew, that he was.

Adelheid
I flashed Yven a smile of my own. "Sure. You'll be the first one to see it...Might even convert it to fire 'nades."
My smile faded a little at his proffered hand, and I bit my lip.
"Erm, I...don't dance that well." I responded. "Or...at all, to be honest...I'm more of a singer."

Yven was a decent sort, yes, and seemed like he would be a good friend. But dancing with him? I'd make a fool out of both of us. And in Prussia-Poland...Well, the tabloids would seize upon it like a crow to carrion. Granted, if you pointed a gun at my head right now and told me to strike up a relationship with a guy, Yven was definitely a possible candidate, if what Marie had said about him was true...but I had shit to do before I worried about that.

Marie
I laughed. "I know how it feels. Once stayed up 48 hours cramming before a test. Ended up bombing that one. Cried for a day afterwards."
I shook my head. Back then it had seemed so important to me. Now? Professor Zymeric and his Mittelhochdeutsch class seemed like a slightly unsettling dream-unpleasant to recall, yes, but impotent and powerless.

Lisolette Devienne
"Good Dancer huh??" She then begun to think to herself about it and if there was something about Lucas was a good dancer, good singer and good actor. Those were some of the many qualities of why she was in love with him. As she remembered those qualities she begun to blush about them as her mind was full of those thoughts regarding when they were dressed as if they were to be married.

However she soon returned to the ground as she looked to Enya and Ida, flustered and blushing even more now that she noticed her surrundings.

"S-sorry. I do sometimes get like that as soon as I think about somethings..." She laughed nervously, gosh it was a bit embarassing.

"Now to answer your question. He's a good dancer..." She said looking at both of the girls. "If you two want I could share him with you two for dance..." She giggled warmly both sisters as they kept walking to get the meat.

Lucas Walker
Lucas grinned at Kiah and looked at her. "No problem and don't worry, you will find that special someone soon.", For certain she would, it was just only a matter of time and quite a bit of luck.
Then they were at the salad stall where a blonde haired and blue eyed women was giving portions as she asked the pair what they wanted.

"Just Salad for six people I think..." He told the lady in question as he looked at Kiah. "What kind of salad does your sisters and you like??"

Athena Freezis
This was beautiful and perfect as they were being smiled upon. Her back feeling the gentle stroking of him, how she wrapped her arms close to him and had her body very close to Leo as they kept dancing slowly. Not wanting to break away never as they kept dancing to the tune of the song. Athena wanted this, she was gonna make sure of be with the person she considers her love, even so she recently knew him; but over time she will know him...

Vladimir Toschya
"Fair. As soon as you all contact me tell me where shall all the money, but please quickly so I can be give the first payments and then going with the rest of what remains of it..." The mysterious man requested, he did after all, pay all at once than have it wait. It was more of filling his part of the deal.

"Indeed we have, Mr. Esecutore... If I ever need something else I'll make sure to contact you or your partner. Until then Прощание (Farewell)..." As such he looked at them and slightly nodded her head. "Sir. Ma'am..."

For all there was know for sure is that if all went like that client of him expected to, things might be changing there for everyone. But for sure his true collors were to be hid well if he wanted to keep his mysterious aura...

And as such here we are. After sealing a deal we were here, talking with two Prussians about a deal that could help him well on what his client was organizing. He smirked as soon as the guys said about the Soviet Era weaponry, but he needed more, and he would ask for it...

"A good offer to be honest, one, I, I'm willing to accept. But...", And he said it, no turn back certainly. "I would like more than that, maybe some Hind's, Hip's, Fitter's, Fishbed's and who knows, maybe some transport planes?? My client would be glad of having some.of that arsenal on his hands and I know well something... If you all have that ground equipment, perhaps it could be possible to be handed some of those old Soviet Era fighters... I'am right gentlemen??"

Evidently, Alexandra's attempt backfired well against her own as Juna apparently took her tease as a sign of the former being "genuinely" interested in the latter's features. As Juna withdrew with a small peck on her cheek, Alexandra once felt herself dumbfounded as she tried to reel in from the striking words earlier. At the same time, she knew it well that she could not let herself, a 24 year old woman be played in such a manner by a girl who's not even older than 18. Moreover, Alexandra was far from imagining herself to be satisfying her "urges" with a group of lassies that she's even hardly familiar with.

As she kept her posture fixed, Alexandra's mind quickly raced to find an answer. "Well, I wouldn't really say that I would have these, urges in regards to the female body per say but I do, regardless appreciate that kiss", replied her in a surprisingly calm and perplexing manner. "Anyhow, if it's in our best interests, let's spare our dear Finny from this for awhile shall we? I do love to spend some time with you and those few lassies you mentioned", suggested Alexandra daringly, as it was her newfound intention to keep both herself and Juna away from their prized "treasure".

In an act of unprecedented retaliation, Alexandra inched herself close enough to Juna like how the latter previously did and without warning, locked lips with the younger Juna, while her arms curled around her back and lifted her a few inches upwards. For exactly 30 seconds, the two remained still until Alexandra quickly broke the kiss, as she settled the younger Juna down before moving back to her original position, her face showing a mix of clear confusion and at the same time, partial satisfaction.

For Alexandra, while that kiss was extremely out of character for herself, it was objectively satisfying as a tool of revenge. "Waitress, can I get my drinks earlier please?", inquired Alexandra as she turned to face the bartender.

Fiona and Kay smiled both, although the latter grinned more then smiled.
"Aight...", the guy at the grill said and looked at us - it was our turn now. "What can I get ya?"
There were sausages on the grill, steaks twice the size of Bianca's face, cutlets and other pieces being grilled as well, plus baked potatoes and a lot of fruit being caramelized in situ, plus even more then that.
Bread was handed out by the half-loaf.
The lad recognized me and bowed his head deeply, but that was about it with formalities - something I appreciated.

"Wow there's so much to pick from!" Bianca noted really having a hard time picking "Might be big for one of us," Isabel thought "What do you say, Bee, we get a large steak and share it between us? Can't be wasteful."

"Mhmhm." Bianca nodded

Joshua and Sono both were able to take a plate full, being fairly active teens with large appetites who could likely clear their plates. Sono asked for cutlets, fruits and anything else that looked good. Jonah also followed his sister lead by agreeing to split a large juicy steak with the three of them and it looked like it'd still be plenty for them.

Tomasz and Stanislaus looked at each other in incredulity.

They then looked back at Vlad.

Tomasz spoke up first. "Jasna cholera*...Hell no. What kinda PMC are you, askin' for aircraft? We were under the impression that we were to offer vehicles only. You tryna overthrow a country?"

Stanislaus piled on. "You are clearly not a PMC. I can believe you asking for maybe a transport helicopter. But a fucking Fitter? Hell no, Cwel**. If it were up to me, I would've had you shot and thrown in the Baltic. Unfortunately...the sale of the vehicles in question has already been pre-approved. Take it or leave it."

At the Dance Floor

"I might," Gerald replied, "and to be quite honest I don't blame him." Of course, his best guess was that Lugh wanted to introduce him to a dance partner, and given where he ran off to, it started to look that way. Given where his feet were more inclined towards, perhaps it was for the best that Lugh paired him off with an older, more experienced dancer.
If this works out, Lugh can be my wingman any time, Gerald thought.

We grinned and Isa gave Dad a meaningful glance.
He chuckled and then said in his deep, rumbling, yet warm voice: "My skills in that regard may have rusted away, Milady Ayla, but I would be glad, if I could see, what is still there." He smiled slightly. "If you would be willing to have a dance with an old man like me, that is."
I glanced from Ilaine to Isa and back. The two women communicated something wordlessly and seemed to reach an agreement regarding me and my time on the dance floor.
It did not seem as if I had any say in that matter...

"Good sir, old or young it'd be my great pleasure to share a dance with you." She stood to show how serious she was and bowed her head as she did so. "If you can forgive a gangly out of practice island chief as myself, I may be a tad rusty but I'll do what I can."

Their faces as soon as he mentioned all that equipment were clearly of shock and incredulity, like if they never saw someone doing such order. But being honest, he did expected such reactions after all, it wasn't normal buy some fighters. After all the insults and the issue related to the order being pre-approved, he cleared his throat and spoke.

"I believe the insults were unneccessary people, and that there was no need to degrade me like that because of some planes and say such things as overtrow a country which are preposterous on itself." He spoke calmly and coldly like if nothing happened. "There's a military contractor that use planes or have them on their arsenal, never you two heard of Draken International?? But either way leaving that aside, I believe seeing the fact I came here to do business, business is what I'm gonna do and as such I'll take the deal."

Oh, indeed, Kyrenaia was a fun place to visit - if a hot one, too. Utica had a Daily Mean Temperature, that went only below 20 degrees Celsius between January and February and that was the time, where the most rain falls, too. Other then that, we have temperatures easily exceeding 45 degrees Celsius in July and August.
Staying hydrated and not going out, when the sun was high, were the key.
At the question of what brought us here, Kay smiled slightly. "I model for BI, that's the host, and I was in this year's Archipelago Shooting, which's conclusion is celebrated tonight as well as a few other things." She shrugged. "I like it, too. It's a fun job!"
She nodded to me.
I shrugged. "We won the trip in a lottery my Mother participated in and I have school holidays.", I said. It was mundane and I knew it. "What about you two? Honeymooning?"

“Oh, that’s part of it~.” Roksana replied with the wink. Being more of a chatterbox and social-butterfly than her quiet husband, the redhead continues, “We’re on the break from work, my husband and I. You could say we’re took time to take off-duty while we’re at it. We just got the tickets from friend of ours, ahaha~.”

The couple doesn’t want to reveal they’re actually members of the prestigious Zhayedan - elite warriors and royal guards of Aryan, also known in the West as ‘Immortals’. Not being secretive or arrogant, they’d like to be normal once in a while. That and confidentiality of their professions. While the Aryanian couple may be safe in the Free Lands, who knows something unexpected might happen on them. Their past experiences have sharpened them to be ready at all times.

"Draken International does not operate vehicles, does it?" Stanislaus observed, dryly. "In any case, there's twenty or so tanks in there as well. Just need to wait for my CO to come over and approve the transaction, and we'll be done."

It was easy for Marion to do the kind of photography that he was asking for, she herself had done similar pictures and videos to put up onto her UTube channel. Despite this ease in work, by the time they were heading to the tables to eat, she was still stuck in contemplative thought as she sat there with the salad in front of her. At Nia's beck, she shook her head to snap out of her own daze, and hummed in questioning intonation. "What? O-Oh." Flustered, she fiddled with the sewing kit in her carpet bag. "Well, in a way, I suppose so. I was invited here by one of the corporate leaders of Bicini industries to talk about the idea of a vintage fashion line. I have some idea as to who had invited me, but I'm not sure of her whereabouts." She gently nodded to the large crowds before them, "There are a lot of visitors here, Miss Nia. Surely finding them to have the meeting in the first place would be quite the challenge."

She blushed after the brief explanation though. "S-Sorry if I'm rambling a bit too much about my work. I had picked up a habit when I was working in theatre of working on a job consistently until the work is done, oftentimes at the sacrifice of time for other things." She briefly looked to Tea and Maeve as they were playing around, then reached out for Nia's hands, "I know this is supposed to be in some form a vacation for me. It's just that until I know for sure I did everything I was supposed to do, I'm constantly on edge. Sorry if I seem to be laying out my emotional problems onto you."

Yven Barriall of the Tribe of Monaghan.
I slumped slightly.
“Fair enough.”, I said, smiling. Let's be honest here, it was not often, that someone refused to dance with me, so this was a bit of an unusual thing. I was not hurt in the strict sense, but... 'disappointed'? Might be the wrong word. I knew, that it wasn't personal, there had been similar reservations by the Khana in the past before she went Fuck All and didn't give a damn about her tabloids. I turned to the other woman in our round. “Madame Banphrionsa, may...?”
“Later.”, she cut me off, smiled herself. “When they do a fast dance.” Oh, that'd be fun! “Out of interest, though, Heidi, what sort of songs do you sing?”

Macha Sáraigh of the Tribe of Clonmel.
We nodded, all of us knowing that experience.
“I crammed for a vocab test in German once.”, Cao said, “Literally five minutes before the test. I barely passed.”
“Let me guess...”, I said in German, with a good accent, mainly the melodic cadence known to the way Selkie spoke, “...you confused your false friends, right?”
German was one of the most-often chosen foreign languages in Selkie-Schools.
“Yep, that I did.”, Cao admitted and shrugged, “I know better now and listen to Schnitzelrock!”
That caused a round of laughter.

"Good Dancer huh??" She then begun to think to herself about it and if there was something about Lucas was a good dancer, good singer and good actor. Those were some of the many qualities of why she was in love with him. As she remembered those qualities she begun to blush about them as her mind was full of those thoughts regarding when they were dressed as if they were to be married.

However she soon returned to the ground as she looked to Enya and Ida, flustered and blushing even more now that she noticed her surrundings.

"S-sorry. I do sometimes get like that as soon as I think about somethings..." She laughed nervously, gosh it was a bit embarassing.

"Now to answer your question. He's a good dancer..." She said looking at both of the girls. "If you two want I could share him with you two for dance..." She giggled warmly both sisters as they kept walking to get the meat.

Lucas Walker
Lucas grinned at Kiah and looked at her. "No problem and don't worry, you will find that special someone soon.", For certain she would, it was just only a matter of time and quite a bit of luck.
Then they were at the salad stall where a blonde haired and blue eyed women was giving portions as she asked the pair what they wanted.

"Just Salad for six people I think..." He told the lady in question as he looked at Kiah. "What kind of salad does your sisters and you like??"

Athena Freezis
This was beautiful and perfect as they were being smiled upon. Her back feeling the gentle stroking of him, how she wrapped her arms close to him and had her body very close to Leo as they kept dancing slowly. Not wanting to break away never as they kept dancing to the tune of the song. Athena wanted this, she was gonna make sure of be with the person she considers her love, even so she recently knew him; but over time she will know him...

"Fair. As soon as you all contact me tell me where shall all the money, but please quickly so I can be give the first payments and then going with the rest of what remains of it..." The mysterious man requested, he did after all, pay all at once than have it wait. It was more of filling his part of the deal.

"Indeed we have, Mr. Esecutore... If I ever need something else I'll make sure to contact you or your partner. Until then Прощание (Farewell)..." As such he looked at them and slightly nodded her head. "Sir. Ma'am..."

Enya Cíochach of the Tribe of Navan.
Well, whatever Lise had thought of, it seemed to be very pleasant – and I had an idea, who she thought of, too. No need to worry, lassie, I know the feeling... I, too, would love to be with Alrich and I, too, would like to 'share' him.
He, too, was a good dancer.
“It would be our pleasure!”, Ida answered for both of us, smiling herself, “I am afraid, though, that I can not offer any dances in return. Both Enya's and mine significant other are not around, Kiah is single and while it is not uncommon for same-gendered couples to dance around here, none of us are fans of it for various reasons...”
Indeed, 'various reasons', I could not due to being Fürst Alrich's girlfriend, who ruled over a very conservative country, Kiah was straight as a ramrod and Ida... Ida was the oldest of us and eldest daughter of the Ambassador of Teressien, she needed to be the epitome of Teressian Values and behaviour. That, and Ida had made bad experiences.
“One condition, though.”, I said, “Nothing romantic. That's for you two!”
Ida nodded with a smile.

Kiah Cíochach of the Tribe of Navan.
Isla smiled and nodded, then went to work.
“Then I'll make it a variety of salads on one plate.”, she decided and went to work – with two different potato salads (both classic and white headed salad), lettuce salad, chicken salad, Inn Salad, cured sausage salad and chicken salad, there was enough to hand out.
The plates were cardboard, but quite solid, and the salads were mountain high on them.
Six plates – she also gave us a tablet to carry everything and the silverware, metal forks and knifes, and a small basket of fresh bread.
It was a gigantic feast on its own, more then enough to fill school classes in some countries – for us, it was a normal dinner's side dish. Selkie ate hearty.

Leonard Rualacha of the Tribe of Wicklow.
The dance was wonderful.
She responded positively to my stroking, brought herself close, very close, and her arms were wrapped tightly around me. I will not deny, that there was a certain reaction a bit lower then my heart, but my heart, too, fluttered.
I hardly knew her, but I knew, that I wanted to get to know her.
The dance came to a close and while the audience applauded both the musicians and the dancers, the dancing couples were either parting or going to the edge of the dance floor to swap partners or staying, or doing something else.
I took Athena's hand, palm up, and kissed said palm, looking into her eyes. Around here, this was a sign of deep respect for the kissed person and said person's skills, and a certain bit of admiration, too.
Not too far away from us, Naelle kissed Branwen onto her cheek.

Aurora Alce.
Mysterious aura or not, Toschya was a bit of an enigma.
Who did he work for, what were his aims? What did he want to do with all those weapons? What did he want Siora Croce for? In the end, it was irrelevant for us, as long as we were paid.
We took cash, we preferred payment in kind, but he would learn all of that soon enough.
Maestro[/u] closed the briefcase and returned the nod.
“[i]Adio, Siore Toschya.”, he said and smiled, “Have a pleasant evening.”
I smiled and bowed my head slightly. “Adio.”, I said, “Maybe we will meet again on this evening for a dance or a drink.”
And with that, we parted, went different ways. I thought, I saw him talking with a few guys I didn't know later that night, but that was another question.
First off, Maestro leaned over: “I'll deliver the briefcase to our hotel room.”, he whispered to me, showed me a rare smile. “Tomorrow, we will see, how we make it more fluid.” Indeed, trying to get a briefcase full of money out of the country was not impossible, but one could do it more easily. “You... have fun!”
I smiled. I knew, what sort of fun he meant.

Juna Leibhéalta of the Tribe of Cork.
I noted Alex's confusion with a small bit of satisfaction, her calm response only widening my smile.
Her next words of meeting those lassies I mentioned, a try to keep us both from Finny (If I can't have him, you can't have him either!, seemingly), made me nod, attempting a reply, but I was pre-empted by her revenge.
She kissed me.
Her arms around me, a few centimetres lifted, our lips locked. It was not the best kiss I ever had, but she was good. Alex, by the end of it, looked a bit confused, but also satisfied.
While we had kissed for half a minute, there had been no tongue.
I took a moment to take a breath, which the barkeeper used to deliver Alex's drink.
Once she had it, I told her: “Sure, come along.”, I said and turned towards our destination. This would be great fun!

Macha Taise, of Cork Descent.
The lad nodded and went to work for the kids first, then for Joshua and Sono, then on the orders of Kay, Fiona and myself. Silverware was handed to us as well, simple forks and knifes.
Bianca and Isabel received a huge steak for them to share, surely more then enough to satisfy the two children. Sono's quest for anything that looked good got her a good plate, while Jonah certainly had enough to share.
For active young people, it was ideal!
It was hardly surprising, that Kay went for a large steak as well, but she would be well able to eat it on her own, while Fiona chose a few smaller cutlets. I got myself a large steak as well.
A minute or two later, we were seated on a beer bench, a lad delivering iced tea to us for drinking.
A few meters away, Nia and her friends were sitting, chatting among them.
“If you want to speak your graces...”, I said and motioned to Sono and Joshua, “...please go ahead.”

Nia Sneachtúil, of Cefnffordd Descent.
I shook my head.
“Not at all, Marion.”, I said, smiling, took her hand and gave it a small squeeze. “I am actually honoured, that you consider me a close enough friend to do that. And focusing on your work before playing is not a bad thing.” I looked to the two girls, who were playing, smiling. “I would hope, that some others would adopt that view, too...”
I looked back to Marion.
“But back to the topic.”, I said, noticed Macha a few meters away, “I know a few people around here, so maybe I know that person as well... and if not, these people know the rest of the people of BI.” Khalid, meanwhile, was making more and more photographs. “So, who is it?”

Isla Saighead of the Tribe of Westmeath.
Lugh took a moment more before he returned with a lass from the group, who seemed to agree to meet Gerald.
And holy-moly, what a lass it was! I of course recognized Amy Ramallae of the Tribe of Monaghan, Model of BI, student of veterinary medicine, sometimes even competitive swimmer - the one-piece, which the silver-haired young woman with the ruby-red eyes wore, was a giveaway, her smile brilliant as she came to us, nodding to me and then offering her hand to Gerald.
"Hi, I'm Amy.", she said, "Lugh said, that you needed dance partner for the next dance?"
Lugh appeared next to me and grinned.

Aonas Folracht of the Tribe of Wicklow.
Dad gave a deep and rumbling laugh, grinning widely as he looked at Ayla: “We will be a sight, then!”, he said, “Two people, so far out of the loop when it comes to dancing, that other dancers will not have to watch out for each other, but for us!"
I grinned myself, to the two ladies, who had planned at least two dances for me, as if to reassure them, that I was more of a dancer and had more recent practice then my father - I did not speak, not only to not interfere with the conversation, but also because my mouth was full.

Samira Tanqulia.
Vacation from their job - well, sounded somewhat familiar.
I did not suspect, that they were soldiers or which unit they belonged to, but even if, my comment would have been a rather dry one.
As I didn't, and they didn't share, I didn't comment.
"Must be some friend of your...", Kay said with a grin, "Is he someone we should know? Politics, culture, movies?"

"He is correct, Amy," Gerald replied, taking Amy's hand for a kiss. "I'm Gerald, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance," he added. Amy does look pretty attractive, Gerald thought; to say Lugh knew how to pick them was something he suspected...perhaps the dance would prove his point.
"I'll admit, my feet aren't quite well-versed in dancing, so I suspect I'll be in your care." It was only fair that he gave his dance partner fair warning.

Adelheid
"Oh, lots of things..." I replied, trailing off.
I began thinking of something, then I hit upon one. An old British tune, set to Gustav Holst's Jupiter.

"...I vow, to thee, my country/All earthly things above..."
'I vow to thee, my Country'. As I said, a British song, but curiously, one that was somewhat popular in Prussia-Poland, having been brought back by the considerable diaspora in England, and perhaps one of the few things Prussia-Poland was grudgingly grateful to England for.

When I finished, I took a breath and looked Yven in the eye, smiling. "I know more, if you want me to keep singing."
OOC: I really, really, hate this version, but it's the only one without a full orchestra in the background.

Marie
"Anyone here speak Polish?" I asked, testing the waters. "Of course, if we must, I can speak in German too." I added on immediately after. "The test in question was for Middle High German. I remember exactly 0% of it outside of poetry, and even that's fading pretty quickly."

"Thank you", once Alexandra had her drinks served, her eyes veered back towards Juna as she took a few sips from the drink. With Juna's approval, her eagerness to see what's next rocketed sky high. "On an another note, if the young lad comes back, tell him to keep the sunglasses to himself at the moment, alright?", asked Alexandra towards the bartender before taking a leave.

Before the two were to leave for their "destination", Alexandra slipped a courteous offer to the young lass. "Iced tea?", offered her, as she extended a partially-drank iced tea drink.

"Boy ya folks must grow some really big cows!" Bianca said with amazement at the large slab of meat on the plate, even with the agreement to share it with Isabel it was still very big!

"Thank you very much." Isabel thanked for the food for them. Sono and Joshua nodded Joshua lead a small saying of grace, a simple "We give thanks for this wonderful food."

"Thank you for the food" Bianca echoed her older brother in that and with that said and done they could begin to eat and it was a fair amount of food for all of them but they were eager to dig in and it was certainly delectable. As it was fortunate for our Kara she was able to get some fish. Her choice was more just for health and keeping her good figure more than a staunch moral opposition to any meat eating. "Truly," Kara said finishing her first bites "This is some very fine fish! Think you give us Mazomban Islanders a real run for our money there!"
