Her limbs were still numb, but at least Blaze knew where all that blood went - to her head, making it pulsate and flow almost like a living thing, giving her simultaneously a rush and a mother of all headaches. She walks slowly away from the archery arena, the words of Kai Rose echoing in her mind. Her, a champion. Go figure.
The Elemental is still sweaty, dust and sand clinging all over her sportswear. Putting up a brave face, but the exhaustion is apparent. It is in this state that she spots a new face - a bearded guy who looks like he got halfway through a taxidermy procedure then changed his mind. Unnerving, like all taxidermied models, yet seeming strangely grounded and stable. The kind of guy you tell horror campfire stories about - hook-handed highway killer.
Ah, what the hell.
"Haven't seen you here before."
That's about as creative an opening as she can manage right now, since most of the remaining social energy went into a small smile.

Having looked the other way just before the moment of greeting, Blaze's voice hit Victor like a social ambush. He swiveled to face her, fixing a stoic scuffed eye on the elemental for a moment, before breaking into a smile and rumbling appreciatively.
"Good! Wasn't trying to be seen before now."
The raspy voice was doing the man no favors in the serial killer department, though a hardened joviality managed to shine through in spite of it.
"Ran through one of the gauntlets? You look like you have a story to tell."
He nodded towards the arena, looking for all the world to be genuinely interested.

Yuan made his way back to the main area with a look of quiet shock on his face. Talking with Carr had been as exhausting as an actual dance, with just as little sense of direction. He had decided to talk to him to escape Summer’s endless request and regain some composure, but now he found himself even more at a loss.
Still, some good has come out of it. Or will, rather. Was he wrong to enjoy the anticipation of their next meeting?
He realized he was surrounded by people only when he looked up. The Beast wanted nothing more than to leave, retest to the quiet of his Hollow. However, he had a sneaking suspicion that should he do that, some Noble would later impress on him the importance of socializing. Because Wyrd forbid the Freehold thought Spring wasn’t the center of attention.
As if Yuan didn’t know.
Covering his eyes with one hand, the Playmate moved the other at random to find a person to go talk to. It came to a stop on a particularly leathery looking man in a hunting coat. Replacing his clothes and hair, he headed in that direction.
“Sorry to bother you. I just wanted to tell you that I really like your coat.”
He smiled at the man and the woman next to him, extending his hand in greeting. “I’m Yuan. I’d love to hear about it as well.”
