Devi paid close attention to the responses of the others, though by now it was obvious where her eyes were. Most of that was from the increasing affects of the alcohol on her system, as much of a lightweight as she was. Ebbo was nice enough, charming and considerate of others even if it seemed that he was not quite as at peace with his ancestry as she first thought. "[color=00a651]Odin is the head of the Norse pantheon, correct?[/color]" She sat forward a bit, thinking and hoping that her minimal research was good enough and that she hadn't made some grave mistake. "[color=00a651]I'm afraid I really only know the basics about other pantheons, comes with living disconnected from society.[/color]" Even still, the more he spoke to both of them the more it seemed to ease things between the three, and she was glad that it looked like they would all be friends.

Of course, then came Alena. She could see the ever so slight drifting of her eyes across her own body, taking in the sight of her in something akin to window-shopping. Her train of thought was cut short by the disastrous missed cue, and she desperately tried not to show it as she sighed internally at the comment. [i][color=00a651]"Right, maybe that was a bit too subtle for her."[/color][/i] Devi kept the same smile all the same as she listened in, seeing that nervous rub across the back of her neck. [color=00a651][i]"That's the second time she's done that, something impulsive when nervous. Actually rather cute..."[/i][/color] As if to add fuel to the fire, Alena's sheepish smile only had her even more drawn to the woman's freckled face and watching how she fumbled around talking about herself and her hobbies. She was even about to say something to that effect when she noticed her approach, at first quite engaged with her elegant stride, then confused when she moved behind the couch.

"[color=00a651]Huh?[/color]" Was the last thing she managed before a slight eep of surprise escaped her lips and she clung to the couch that was rising quickly into the air above the floor of their apartment. Her fingers dug deep into the cloth upholstery, bare feet pressing into the arm as she laid down and risked only the cursory glance down at the one responsible. Of course, having seen those muscles flexing and lifting her with ease, most of her anxiety melted away even when she was spun around as if being put on display. The same look of wonder remained on her face throughout Alena's show of strength and lingered there as she laid on the couch staring up at her.

"[color=00a651]I... Wow...[/color]" The fact remained that she was a little past tipsy, and the sudden onset of vertigo was not helping her gather words either. Devi visibly focused on words into sentences, though not so much as to miss yet another one of Alena's nervous neck-rubbing, and slowly found her way to stability. "[color=00a651]It's okay. I don't mind at all, was actually [i]quite[/i] fun. Besides, I knew I was safe in your hands. And maybe when you're not training with Ebbo we could do some training as well? If you want I could even show you a few meditation things and brew some herbal teas that might help.[/color]" That smile again, mostly friendly but with a slight hint at more behind it.
