It wasn't that he disliked Summer, she was like anyone else that when she was in a good mood it was a nice experience and when the reverse happened, the opposite was expected. What was surprising was that it wasn't often that he helped someone during their own ruts or was the cause of someone's displeasure but it seems like he was in this case. Despite what the surface may have said or didn't say, there was always more than what the eyes could see. As during the end of the day came around with the setting of the sun on the horizon, it disguised the faint glow of Alex's own eyes alongside the fading daylight as subtle magic happened within him. It pulled on his heartstrings as the sacrifice was consumed in silence but the world ignited in color despite the darkening evening, strands of light connected people as they talked to one another, gathering to the meeting that they were called here for. To say at the very least, there were many people gathered here today but it wasn't a subtle occurrence that around twenty or more of those light trails led away from the party in a direction away from where most of the guests came from. [i][color=goldenrod]'Is that perhaps where we are going later tonight?'[/color][/i] Thinking to himself quietly as his attention returned to the conversation in front of him, their words pulled aside as he watched, a [color=f6989d]pale pinkish light[/color] surrounded [color=f6989d]Summer[/color] as she talked to [color=96EACE]Jeremy[/color] whose own strand of [color=96EACE]light blue light[/color] mingled with [color=DarkOrange]several[/color] [color=#e9dd25]other[/color] [color=5df578]ones[/color]. Who was- Then the feedback of speakers cut cleanly through the air as the party grew quiet, his focus ruined as the magic unravel itself, blending the bands of light into the scenery around them as if the exposure of a camera was dialed down. He blinked several times as his mind stopped wandering, recognizing the voice of Sister Deborah as she began talking into the microphone as the start of a speech began. It detailed the plans that would happen tonight for the initiates but also confirmed where they were going, following the trail of lights that he saw earlier. Not long after Sister Deborah finished her speech, it seemed like the rightful owner of the came as [color=#e9dd25]Calypso[/color] stared confusedly at the scene. While correcting a mishap, she introduced herself warmly to the new initiate which wasn't an everyday occurrence since most of them knew each other already. [b][color=goldenrod]" Well that's five down out of the... twenty-ish people give or take that we are going to meet tonight. "[/color][/b] [b][color=goldenrod]" If you haven't eaten yet [color=96EACE]Jeremy[/color], want to head over to the food first? We have the ten minutes before we're whisked away for who knows how long it might take, so might as well. We could then tackle the ones at the house who arrived early if you're interested? "[/color][/b] He said amusedly with a grin to Jeremy, wondering if they could still make their rounds in that short of time or simply later when everyone was asked to meet up. It also wouldn't hurt if they were there a little early as well for whoever was there as prime targets to tack off the list. It also seemed that their conversation group was turning a tad bit bigger and bigger as more people were pulled in, which he didn't mind, as he added onto what [color=DarkOrange]Charlie[/color] had said nearby to spread the places where chips could be placed on the table. [b][color=goldenrod]" Same goes for everyone if you want to grab more food. I know for sure I'm gonna nab something light like the grilled squash and zucchinis that I saw earlier to hopefully hold me over for tonight if Jeremy here says yes. " " Probably then going to join everyone else at the entrance after that if you all are interested in getting a small headstart afterward. " [/color][/b] He said earnestly to everyone as he turned to them so they were in sight. It was only polite to include everyone if they were interested but if they all came together as a group, he didn't mind again but just wanted to place the option on the table. Either way, even if Jeremey had other plans, Alexander himself didn't mind as he was already okay with being his chaperone for tonight unless the new initiate felt he was comfortable enough.
