He was glad he could be of assistance. He was very much aware he offended the blonde female too. Heath would be the first to admit he was awful at taking jokes, but one of his biggest pet peeves was lying and her magnetism put him on edge. He would attempt to be cordial, but a part of him would be cautious until she gave him a reason not to be. However all thoughts went out of his head when Anatoliy leaned in and . . . . was he sniffing him? It was something Heath was not expecting and he didn't know what to do or say. He just stood there calmly until the man stood straight again. Looking at Heath, one could tell he was confused. [color=#808000]"Uh, is everything okay? I did take a shower prior to the party."[/color] he found himself asking, not really thinking about what he just said. The pair then introduce themselves fully. Chariselle gave full attention to Anatoliy and seemed genuinely interested in him. She was honest about wanting him to come back to the party. Once she finished speaking, Heath spoke up. [color=#808000]"Chariselle, before you return to the party, I would like to apologize for my earlier behavior. I tend to get easily offended when someone accuses me of wrongdoing. But since we're strangers you wouldn't know what kind of person I am. Plus I am awful when it comes to jokes."[/color] She could take it or ignore it. At least he made an attempt to make amends. Looking back at Anatoliy, he decided to see if the guy was even willing to come back to the party, but he saw movement under his clothing again. [color=#808000]"Is there something you have on you, Anatoliy? I saw something move."[/color] he asked, genuinely curious.

He wanted to know if there was anyone she wanted to get to know better? She was drawing a blank, but looking at Duke's kind face made her blush a little. She was embarrassed. The best she could do was be honest for now. [color=#4a766e]"I . . don't know. I do have a few friends like Nelly and Veronica. Do you have any friends, Duke? You and Fiona seem to get along well."[/color] The two definitely interacted like friends. Iliana briefly wondered how close they were. The thought bothered her a bit for some reason. Duke was by all appearances a nice guy, why shouldn't he be close with anyone? Deciding to not dwell on it, she focused on Duke when he spoke up again, this time about learning who is worth giving a benefit of a doubt through trial and effort. The thought of the process did unnerve her, but she would do her best, so she nodded at his words. [color=#4a766e]"Thank you, I'll take your advice to heart."[/color] She continued to listen to Duke when he brought up Leo. Another Ares kid. Iliana liked and respected Trinity. Liam, Iliana didn't know how she felt about him because he was a mixed bag. He did try to hurt Heath, but he wasn't in control of himself either. A feeling Iliana was very much familiar with. But he also left without word either. So yes, the best Iliana could do was she was ambivalent when it came to her feelings about Liam. Hopefully this Leo would be better. [color=#4a766e]"Well I look forward to meeting him then. I hope he likes the camp."[/color] She was almost done with her meal when Duke gestured towards the party activities and asked she did anything like this. [color=#4a766e]"Heath's family likes to have parties and I've gone to those, but they're never that big. I've learned to dance, but I am average at best. I am sure you've noticed this, but I am introverted, but I am willing to try something new at least once, as long as it's not dangerous. Do you like parties Duke? Also, I appreciate you willing to talk to me too. You're very easy to be around."[/color] That last part, Iliana did her best to keep eye contact, but she couldn't help but blush a little. It was a good thing it was starting to get dark.

Like for Texas, she had gone on a trip with her mother and basically got to sip when her mom got when she was 18. Elsewhere, outside of the USA, she had no issues getting drinks for herself. Luckily she would be turning 21 next June, so if she was back in the USA by then, she would get her own alcohol then. For now she'd enjoy herself here in Greece. When Fiona offered her a tumbler of Scottish Whiskey, Nelly took it with a smile. [color=#f1724b]"I love me a good bourbon. But I've mostly had it in desserts. My favorite desserts tend to have alcohol in them too for some reason. I once went to Jamaica and had Rum cake. Best cake I ever had. Didn't even need icing. But yeah I've had whiskey before, just never your homeland's whiskey. I hope it's just as strong as a Guinness. When I turned 18, when it came to alcoholic drink wish list, that was at the top hehe. So, my mom took me to Ireland for my 18th birthday. One of my favorite trips I took with her."[/color] Thinking of her mom made Nelly miss her again. She was sure her mom was fine, but she did wonder how she was doing. In the meantime, she headed for the food along with Fiona to get a good amount of food. She didn't want to overdo it, but she stack some things. She could always come back for more. Thank the gods she had a high metabolism. And just like Fiona, Nelly heard Lochlan call out for shots. Now that was something that peaked her interest. Still she stuck with Fiona as they made it to a table. She saw others eating like Sylas was talking with a new camper while Iliana and Duke were talking together. Sitting down, Fiona asked what she wanted to do later. [color=#f1724b]"Well first, I am going to savor this whiskey."[/color] she said before taking a sip. Oh, did it go down nicely. [color=#f1724b]"Mmmm, you're right, it is good! As for what I plan on doing next, I mostly want to mingle with others whether back at the bar with your brother, or on the dance floor. Or anywhere else! Skies the limit after all. Maybe we can find out who the new leader is?"[/color] [hr] [center]Interactions ~ Fiona [@Fabricator] ~ Mentions ~ Lochlan, Sylas, Anissa, Iliana, Duke[/center]
