The second Danni was released from the headlock, Danni checked his reflection in the nearest thing he could. He straightened out his clothes, put the few strands of hair back in place, and whirled around laughing. [color=E948FC]“A food eating contest? Nah, I’mma sit outta t’at. I’m lookin’ ta dance in a bit and I don’t wanna ruin everyone’s view wit’ bloatin’, ya know? And I promised ta spend time wit’ Eli! I can’t back out on my guy like t’at!”[/color] Danni twirled away, coat ends sweeping up as it did, until he plopped into the seat next to Eli and hooked a leg over his. [color=E948FC]“Dude, I know I got knocked out, but t’at was ‘ella impressive t’at you kept goin’ like t’at. Tots wish I could be t’at resilient but I get a little roughed up and-“[/color] Danni drew his finger across his neck. [color=E948FC]“If ‘merica t’ere ‘it me wit’ one of t’e punches, yeeesh. Down for t’e count. We outta ‘it t’e gym tagether so I can steal some of your routine! Oh! Maybe we can go runnin’ toget’er. Do you ‘ave a runnin’ partner? Who do ya do cardio wit? Dee’s an early bird get’s t’e worm kinda guy and I like ta do it in t’e evenin’. Or are ya a swimmin’ kinda cardio guy? Simming is good overall, but like I don’t really like t’e cold-[i]actually, I ’ate it[/i]-so I just stick ta runnin’. T’ough, I’ve been flyin’ a little more recently and my shoulders are ‘urtin’ a bit. What’s your arm routine? I really need ta get t’em less noodly like yours!”[/color] Danni squeezed Eli’s bicep and sighed appreciatively. [color=E948FC] “Oh, you wanna share somet’in btw? I snacked a lot ‘tween stuff and if I’m jumpin’ ‘around on t’e dance floor wit’ a full stomach, I’mma get grumpy reaaaal quick. Do you dance? You wanna dance wit’ me? I can show ya some moves – its fun! ‘onestly, wit’ ‘ow ya move on t’e field, you’ll do great wit-“[/color]  


Danni yelped as he ducked a cup and a plate nearly took a chunk of his ear and he found himself clinging fully to Eli as some poor sucker got introduced to all the food options simultaneously. Danni didn’t know who he was but Danni definitely knew one thing for sure: poor guy needed a hospital for those eye bags, yeesh. Someone call 911 cause that kid’s skin was going through it. Still, Danni thought it was weird how quickly Andy went from sucking face to guard dog. [color=E948FC]“’eeeeeey, what’s t’at t'in’ we’re supposed ta say again? Moss and Toph, right? Moss and Toph!”[/color] Danni cheered, reaching out to toast with anything that hadn’t been snatched and thrown. He cut a glance towards Dorian, trying to see if they needed to turn up the heat on the new guy but at Dorian’s little head shake, Danni knew to keep on Percy but otherwise stay chill so he turned back to the group. [color=E948FC]“America! Now t’at you’re not sucking Andy’s face anymore, we gotta get t’at photoshoot scheduled! I was t’inkin’ of doin’ a winter special one – maybe we can pop off ta a snowy place, you, me, and Eli and we can do some cool shots. Eli can ya t'row bot’ of us at t'e same time? You def can t'row me, but America actually ‘as real muscle which ‘ot damn girl, but its ‘arder ta move t'an my noodles. ‘cause you'd bot’ look so pretty in t'e snow, just a bit o’ fire, see if we can get t'e glow ta contrast real nice! Gotta do a snuggle look too! Hot cocoa and scarves and- oooh, we can share a scarf! Get one o’ t'ose real big ones too! I wonder if it’s too late t'at get some…”[/color] 


Danni clocked it the moment the invisibility began to fade and he did a double take before waving madly from his perch on Eli's lap. [color=E948FC] ‘ey, its Milli-illi-illi-pede! I didn't know ya were comin’ ta t'is shindig! Come on over, pull up a chair, ya want somet'in’ ta eat? Eli and I are gunna share and-did ya order for us yet, btw? I wanna get a bowl of gumbo pls!-t'en ‘it t'e dance floor, but ya gotta tell us all ‘bout what's goin’ on! Like, duh you're all over t'e news ever ‘ere, but like ya gotta tell us ‘bout t'e personal stuff, not t'e TV stuff! ‘ow's life, ‘ow's t'e ‘rents, what's your favorite She-Ra episode?”[/color] He whipped back to Eli and bopped him on the nose.


[color=E948FC] “And we gotta plan t'at picnic! Text me your favs so I can try t'e recipes and get it all good!”[/color]

James calmly placed his hand over the gin and tonic as things flew about the room. His glass shook, but didn't move. While the kids made general sounds of dismay and cracked jokes to lighten the atmosphere, James took a sip of drink. The newcomer was a troublemaker. James knew enough of that type that he noticed the realization and the excitement, the cruel and vicious kind steeped in malicious intent. And his target… Well, his morning conversation a few days ago with Dominika came to mind. Percy's alcoholism and this kid may very well have a link. 


[color=mediumspringgreen]“Percy may bolt. We need to keep an eye on him.”[/color] James leaned into the bar and murmured to Max across Casper. [color=mediumspringgreen]“New kid's a problem. If he makes a move towards Percy again, I'm removing him from the party.”[/color] James turned his gaze back to the shadow kid, making no effort to conceal his observations. The kid was cocky and confident, but James would fix that if he thought the shadow child was a threat to those under his care.
