An Interesting Party (Freya, Rory, Remy)

[tari]

Tari stepped into her party room, satisfied with its appearance. A stereo system sat in a corner, playing your usual background party music. A mini bar sat in another corner, serving up from soda to scotch. Tari nodded in approval, seeing all the colorful party lights and chairs for everyone to sit in and chat. A fountain was placed in the middle, just for Tari's sake. She would be there often during the party.

But not only was she excited for the party...she was excited for Remy to come, along with her twin sister Freya. Tari just giggled...something she rarely did. And she had picked out the perfect dress...a slim, dark blue dress that glittered in the lights, with a mermaid fan out at the bottom. The top was strapless, with a small white jacket that covered her shoulders. Her earrings glittered, in the light, along with a jewel bracelet with aquamarine diamonds. Yes...Tari was old fashioned about parties.

[lebeau]

Remy had gotten the information not long after comforting Alex. It was good to get out of that place with the atmosphere of what was going on. He had trouble finding a good suit for the party, reading that it was a dress party instead of your average get together. He didn't mind though and within moments he had his suit planned and worn. It was a black suit and pants, with neatly polished black shoes on his feet. He didn't wear his hat, but instead used a small black band to tie his hair back in a ponytail.

On his way to the party, he stopped by a local flower shop, picking out a small rose for Tari. He didn't know why he did, but he just chalked it up to being the way he was. He followed the directions that was given until he was now standing at the doorway of the house. He had to admit it was an elegant looking place, not one you would normally find in New York. He straightened out the bow tie that was tucked under the collar of his white shirt, the rose in hand, and reached up to knock on the door.

[Rory Ashe]

Rory tugged at the tie around his collar as he drove, trying to loosen at least some. They had barely gotten back from the Himalaya's about day ago and spent most of the time passed out at the mansion from exhaustion. Avalanches, mutants, explosions and death, among other things that had happened, may have been exhausting but were about as close to the perfect week as you could get for Rory. Then there was today, almost as soon as he had woken up Freya had given him a call about some party and that he needed a suit, and it immediately ruined his day.

"I feel like a monkey in this thing..." Rory said, still tugging at the collar, glancing at Freya in the passenger seat. The suit felt tight and awkward, he never really had worn one before. "Are ye sure this collar is supposed to be so tight?" If Rory died by suffocation from a suit, he really could say that dressing up killed him. They were almost to Tari and Freya's hotel, the car they were driving in was... Well, Rory didn't really know who's it was, it was in the mansions garage and the keys were on the wall so it seemed like an open invitation.

[tari]

Tari soon heard the knock at the door and suddenly rushed to it. For some reason, she wanted it to be Remy. He was quite the charmer, after all. But she had only met him once. Oh well, the guy was nice to be with.

Tari opened the door and she smiled in delight as she saw Remy. "Hello, Remy. It was so nice of you to accept my invitation. Please, come in. My sister and another guest will join us soon."

[lebeau]

When the door opened, Remy smiled, but that smile turned into a look of shock. Tari looked...amazing to say the least. He looked her up and down, admiring every color and curve of her and the dress. When she invited him in, he stepped in and took her hand, kissing her wrist as he had the first time the met.

"Your beauty challenges the Queen of New Orleans, cher." he said, releasing her hand and holding out the small rose, "For you."

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

If Freya had had her way, she and Rory wouldn't have come. Really, who wanted to go to some party right after having enough adventures for a life time?! Still though, she wished they were still there. Just the two of them.... She'd been so disappointed when they were forced to end the trip. Getting back had it's perks though. Like being able to catch up on lost sleep.

She stared out the car window most of the time, in as bad of a mood as Rory was. Why did Tari have to hold the party now? Hearing his monkey comment made her laugh softly, drawing her gaze back to him. "Well, you don't look like a monkey." She paused, smiling softly. "You couldn't always undo the top button, you know. So you don't choke."

Like Tari, Freya was wearing her signature color, a brilliant red. It wasn't a ball gown type dress though. It was a nice, flow dress that ended at her knees, with a low cut in the front and the straps around her neck. It might not be as elegant as her sister's dress, but it was far more eye catching. She didn't bother with jewelry of any sort, she didn't need to after all. "It's just right there." She pointed out the hotel as they drove, they were almost there.

[Rory Ashe]

Rory sniffed the air slightly in the car, after glancing around it. There wasn't much in the car, but it smelled like.... Cheap cigars? Yeah, the scent was very faint but he was able to pick it up. Other than that it was a nice car, hopefully he would have it back before the person who owned it knew it was gone though.

"I don't look like one?... What, are ye sayin' I act like one?" He acted as if he was offended, but was just teasing Freya again. Despite being in a bad mood he always made time to make her feel better. When she said he could unbotton the collar he nodded his head, why hadn't he thought of the? He reached up and unsnapped the pearl button, even the tie was still tight he could breathe much easier now.

Rory hadn't gotten a good look at Freya's dress yet. As soon as Tari had invited them both of them had been busy getting ready, then they were in the car. However, just sitting down she looked amazing, and whenever Rory could he would steal a glance at her. He turned where Freya pointed and pulled in front of the hotel. After getting out he quickly walked to Freya's door and opened it for her, if he was going to dress like a gentleman he figued he might as well act like one, "After you, me róisín a alainn." He said with a wink.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Unlike Rory, Freya didn't seem to notice the smell of cigar smoke. That or she just ignored it. After all, this was a school car, who was to know who'd used this car? If she were to guess though... The only one at the school that smoked cigars.... It'd be Logan.

Freya laughed again, leaning across the seat and softly kissing Rory on the cheek as he drove. "Maybe sometimes." She smirked a little, leaning back into her seat as he unbuttoned the top button. It made her smile a little that he hadn't thought of that before now. He really wasn't used to these social events was he? Even just something as small as this!

Tari hadn't told Freya anything about this small party. Just to bring Rory, and there was someone they needed to meet. So... Tari had invited a stranger it seemed. That made Freya very curious. Who would Tari have met and be so interested in that she invited the stranger to a party? Her curiosity kept building the closer they got to the hotel.

Freya didn't notice Rory stealing stares whenever he could. If she had though, she might have laughed. It was fun dressing up like this, it caught his attention. At least he wasn't as distracted as the time in the Danger Room, otherwise they probably would have gotten in a car accident by now!

Smiling softly, she climbed out of the car as Rory opened her door, rather enjoying his being a gentleman for a change.... But it did make her miss his more natural side though... With the door closed behind her, She caught hold of Rory's hand, tugging softly. "This way." She lead him to the suit that she and her sister had been calling home for the past while. When they reached the door, Freya stopped, a puzzled look on her face when she heard an unfamiliar accent coming from the room. "Who in the world did Tari invite...?" From what she could make out through the closed door, it sounded like the guy was flirting with her sister....

[Rory Ashe]

Rory rolled his eyes, so he was a monkey sometimes? Well, he had to admit, in certain situations like fighting, the way he moved might be similiar to a monkey sometimes; but he knew that wasn't what they were talking about. The small kiss cleared up the minor annoyance that Freya had caused him, unfortunately it made him want more, just as it always did with her.

What Rory, and apparently Freya, hadn't noticed though was that her kiss had left a definite imprint of a pair of lips on his cheek. Of course, Rory was oblivious to it, and continued to be as they got out at the hotel.

When Freya grabbed his hand and began pulling him into the hotel he couldn't help but notice she seemed to be excited about something. He let Freya lead the way through the hotel, which was far more massive than he thought. He had dropped Freya off here before, but had never gone in. Tari never seemed to like him so he didn't push his luck.

Finally they were standing in front of the door, Rory still holding tightly to Freya's hand. Really he didn't want to be here for more reasons than one, the main one being the fact that Tari didn't seem to like him. "I don't know, but I'd hazard a guess to say he's Cajun." Even through the door, the accent was undeniable. Rory reached up and knocked on the door with his free hand, still unaware of the kiss imprint on his cheek.

[tari]

Tari shyly smiled as Remy kissed her on her wrist. But a light blush spread across her cheeks as he complimented her and offered her a rose.

"You're quite the charmer, Remy. Thank you." She held the rose up to her face and she smelled it's delicate, but fragrant scent. Soon, the moment was interrupted as Freya and Rory entered. They both looked as if they didn't want to be there and that made Tari's mood lower slightly. Maybe they could have just gone to a regular party? Tari finally decided to accept Rory courting her sister, but she had no idea they had gone together to Asia to help out Xavier. Or...Tari didn't know Rory went.

"Well, let's get the party started! It's nice to see you back, Freya. I'm jealous you went to Asia without me." Tari had a bit of a pout on her face, but it immediately went back to a smile. She then turned to Remy.

"Remy Lebeau, this is Freya Elensar, my sister and Rory Ashe." Tari introduced her guest to her sister, to be polite.

[lebeau]

"I only charm when I speak the truth, Miss Tari."

He smiled, watching the rose contrast Tari's outfit. He couldn't help but continue staring at her even after she had finished breathing in the scent. He then turned and looked to Freya and her da ter, and took a glance at Tari as her smile faded and talked of Asia. When Tari introduced him to Freya, he gave a pleasant bow to her.

"A pleasure, I'm sure." he looked to Tari, moving his arm around hers, "Perhaps I'll help you make up for the asia trip by showing you the sights of my home town."

He then looked to Freya, "So how was the your trip to the Himalaya's? I hear it's mighty cold for couples up there."

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

((XD XD XD. keh. Poor Rory..))

Curse Rory knocking on the door and opening it! Freya wanted to eavesdrop more! She almost scowled, giving him an 'almost glare'.... Before noticing the lip imprints on his cheek. She scoffed, covering her mouth with one hand to stop from laughing outright. After a moment, she moved her hand, pointing at her own cheek while staring at Rory. Hopefully he'd understand that she was trying to tell him something was on his... Something that was making it really hard not to laugh.

Finally though, she turned her attention to the unfamiliar man... Only he wasn't as unfamiliar as she'd thought. Uh oh... It was that new guy at the school.... Oh dear.... Before she could even get a word in he'd already turned to her.... and quite literally told Tari that Freya hadn't been alone during her trip to the Himalaya's. Her face flushed a bright red, from embarrassment. Why did he have to let Tari know that?! Tari.. was going to be more then a little mad at her....

Slowly she retreated back to Rory, leaning close to him and whispering something. "Did I mention that Tari didn't know about you being there to...?" If Freya guessed correctly.... Things weren't looking that good.

[Rory Ashe]

Rory noticed Freya's "almost glare", but all it did was make him smirk. It really was a cute look, even if she was angry when she was doing it. Then again, Freya was generally very cute and attractive when angry, at least in Rory's eyes. When she grinned and pointed at her cheek a very confused look crossed his face. What was she doing?

He raised a brow slightly, "Ye look fine sweethe-" Before he could finish, or wipe the kiss imprint off his cheek, the door opened. Rory immediately recognized the man from the school, he had never actually met him, but they had seen each other a few times. When he bowed at Freya, Rory raised a brow again. Was he part Chinese or something? "Nice to meet ye Remy... Tari." He nodded at Tari as a greeting, surprised that she hadn't acted mean yet. Perhaps they were getting on better terms?

When the man asked about the trip Rory laughed a little, "Ye got no idea how cold it is. 'Course, we were a bit to busy trying not to die to notice the cold too much, Xavier never mentioned that people were going to try and ki-" Suddenly he felt Freya move toward him and whisper in his ear, it was then that he noticed how much she was blushing. Rory looked back at Tari with a deer in the headlights look before turning back to Freya and whispering, "I s'pose I shouldn't have said that then..."

[tari]

Tari smiled at Remy when he mentioned going down to New Orleans sometime. But her thoughts came to a screeching halt when Remy mentioned Freya AND Rory going to Asia...together. "Say what now...?" The water in the fountain started to splash out of its container as Tari started to freak out.

"Freya! You...did you...you went with Rory? ALONE?!" The water started flooding the room now, spreading towards Tari. She heaved deep breaths, trying to remain in control, but...then Tari had a dark look on her face. "You better tell me that nothing happened or else..." She got right to the point. Tari then saw a kiss imprint on Rory's face and her eyes widened. Soon, she turned pleading.

"Freya, please tell me you didn't do it with him!"

[lebeau]

Remy smiled and laughed when Rory started explaining about how cold it was. If he only knew how cold the island that Remy and Logan had been on a couple years ago. His smile turned to curiosity when he looked at Freya whispering something in his ear. He then looked to Tari and then to the fountain that was beginning to flood the floor. Rory wasn't the only one that had the deer in the headlights look then. Remy began to feel that he stepped into something that wasn't a good idea.

"Well...if you'll excuse me I um...think I'll go see what the platters are presentin'." he said with a nervous smile, excusing himself from the three to go to where she had put the entrees from the party, as well as the drinks.
