In a fluid motion Agrippa snuck a hand into their pocket, retrieved a silk bag from it, and retrieved a single seed from that
"Thank you! Was deliberating on it for some time. Can't skimp on the representation of my desires after all!"
As the dance steps dictated they hold hands, the unicorn took the opportunity to drop the naissant flora into hers
"Speaking of which, I would like to elaborate on my introduction- anyone who calls me friend deserves to know more than my name alone! I have already told you my name and I suspect you know my court by context, so what I will tell you instead is that I am a writer, a helldiver, a relative newcomer, and someone who's goals tonight is to have this celebration inspire as many of those present as I could dare hope for!"
Agrippa risked stepping out of time to bow, low and playful. They were positively beaming.
"And you? Would you have an extended introduction, or would you prefer to preserve the mystery? Or any questions for me, to distract the topic off yourself entirely?"
It didn't seem like it would possible to disappoint them with any answer at all.

Bella smiles and nods at Agrippa's words "Well, My name is Bella Knott and i'm a Wizened, im part of the Autumn court as a Courtier and a Librarian of sorts. i love Writing and Music, I'm currently studying to be a Mortician. I've been working on my studies pretty hard lately but i wanted to come out and visit with people who i haven't visited with in a while, hence the reason i ran over and gave Lucas a hug. Its a pleasure to meet you!" She says before giving a dramatic curtsy to match His bow. Bracelets: YellowPink

"Mortician? Mundane? Or do you convene with the kinds of dead you wouldn't panic about, where they to answer you back?"
A glimmer of immense and hopeful interest lit in Agrippa's eyes, nearly brighter than the lamps and fairy lights strung above that made the venue glow by night
"And none of that would have to do with the sorts of books you curate, would it?"

Bella thinks for a moment before answering.
" A bit of both Mundane and Not to be honest. I feel ALL spirits deserve a chance to speak and share their thoughts and fears. Yep! i try to find and collect books about Spirits, Death, as well as various magick systems that deal with them. " Bella says before getting a contemplative look on her face, her nose scrunches cutely for a second before she smiles again and adds. " I suppose at the end of the day you COULD call me a Death Witch due to my closeness to both Death and Magick and the fact that im not scared of either. there is also the fact that i apparently am the only one who refers to the Autumn King so familiarly as i do. "

Agrippa laughed, though it was clearly out of a pent-up delight more so than humor.
"Then I suppose you likely already know of the abundance of ghosts in the local area! You wouldn't perhaps find use for a helldiver in any of your pursuits, would you? I have often spoken to the restless dead, though I know precious little of them in an academic sense. I would love to fix that, to a degree or another. If anything else just so that my conversation with them can flow more freely. And besides, nothing delights me more than to dive into Twilight for the cause of my fellow freeholders!"
They slowed down the dance as their attention became hyper-focused on the topic at hand. They nearly held their breath, waiting for a response

Bella nods happily before writing her phone number on a small scrap of paper and handing it to Agrippa" Sure! i'd love to have more help and companionship while researching. Here is my cell number, feel free to text or call me whenever you're free and we can meet up and explore haunted areas to see what we can find yeah?" She says with a big grin.

Was this...was this how it felt to be productive? Agrippa could hardly believe it- they hadn't been involved in something so uncomplicatedly positive for literal months. A new friend, an offer to help teach them about the restless dead that didn't require any teeth-pulling, a wholly positive interaction with someone of the Autumn court, and all this within the span of a few minutes! The helldiver took the note between the fingers of one hand, pulled a rose-gold phone from their pockets with the other, and swiped across the screen for a good thirty seconds before nodding to themselves decisively
"Aaand there you go! Texted you so you should have my number too if you need it before I get around to that!"
They slipped the phone back into their pocket, pausing as they considered which of the multitude of hanging threads they should tug at next
"If you are familiar with the monarch of your court, I presume you aren't new around here? I only moved in October, down from Canada."

Bella shakes her head
" Nope! i've lived here since 2016. I just never got out much so thats why i seem new...i like my books." She says before looking bashful and tapping her index fingers together.

Ivory smiles as she begins to reach for the Winter, before he is assaulted by a fellow courtier, before Ivory can get a word to acknowledge her greeting, this new Winter - and Agrippa - are gone.
As the Pale Dragon rises, however, a familiar figure waves for her attention on the periphery. A slightly confused look hits Ivory's face as she notices Archie attempting to signal for her to come over to him, but, in the end, she shrugs and looks to Lucas.
"Looks like we will need to postpone the dance, Archie seems to require me," she says nodding to the Chatelaine, "Enjoy your evening, Lucas. The night is young, we might just run into each other again."
With a smirk and a wink the Pale Dragon would slip away, aiming to see what business Archie had that needed her attention.

Lucas let out an amused sigh as he glanced over at Archie. He would be offended if it wasn't for the blue band. Duty calls and all that.
"We will see what the spirit of Ostara have instore for us, Ivory. If not, maybe our paths will cross again outside of tonight. New beginnings and all that, yeah?"
He grinned at her and waved her off as she left the bar area.
With his dance postponed, potentially for the rest of the evening, this seemed as good of a time as ever to see what it was the other Winter courtier was needing from him. Lucas straightened himself up, feeling the alcohol starting to kick-in again. The least he could do was keep a steady gaze and walk if he was going to be engaging in inner court politics.
"Hey, there." Lucas strolled over to the Winter Ogre, offering his usual friendly smile of greeting.
"I'm Lucas, it looks like you're needing to talk to me about something, eh?"

The statuesque man finally moved and tilted his head downwards to take in the form of the now clear Monarch of the Winter Court. ‘Lean frame. Quick. Not strong seeming. Endurance or speed based.’ The black pits of his eyes roved over the light gray skin to the fog rolling off Lucas’ form. ‘Powerful.’ They quickly shot to the smile and lack of fear. ‘Bolder than most.’ His mind was silent for nearly half a minute before he spoke, the behemoth’s voice was the rumble of the Earth, deep and gravelly. “Worthy.” Marble muscles rippled as he extended a large, meaty hand. “Privetstvuyu. I am Maks.”
Translation: Privetstvuyu - Greetings

Fire considers Riley's question for a moment, lots of other people have joined around and she's kind of ready to move on anyway. Though she gets very distracted for a moment by the big, muscle of Ogre. She gives Maks a nod, "Sup. Name's Fire. Cool to meet'cha Maks." But they aren't the Ogre she is interested in chilling out with right now.
She takes a look around the party, trying to see where everyone is positioned. At the moment, she is having trouble spotting the one she is looking for.
"How about another drink and then we go find our favorite Ogre?" She asks smiling at the Moth with a ridiculous grin. She's actually trying to live this party up and no one can spoil it for her. Finding Linden would be a good way to continue the good feels. They are kind of the bomb dot com.

Without further hesitation, Riley summoned the bartender and got Dani her whiskey drink of choice. Riley was half tempted to order another themself, but that could wait. It was, after all, an all-nighter.
They scanned the gathering of people that had flooded the bar before moving out to find more folks.
"Hold on, I see Archie!"
