This was why it was a semi-private event and the rest of the restaurant was shut down for the night. It helped that he and the others had helped the French Quarter a significant amount while also bringing down crime and helping ease the lives of all who lived within it. If that wasn't enough, his magic guaranteed nothing damaged would stay that way for long. With a wave of his hand, cosmic energy swirled around all those who had been coated in food (including Chase) as well as all the dishware and tables that had fallen. Those dirtied were clean (a good thing Ben Moss wasn't present), the tables that had fallen were lifted back up and those that hadn't were enchanted to stay on the floor moving forward. Broken dishware mended itself and everything else was back as it should be. [Color=aba400]”As always Ms. Van Dyne, your aid is greatly appreciated and knowing their name will no doubtedly make this easier. No please, enjoy the festivities. You kids deserve it after everything you've been through."[/color] [hr] [Color=585c74]”Please, you're just being modest.”[/color] Chase pulled out a chair to sit next to Sabine (and Leah), noticing how the other girl turned away from him in such a way that he couldn't see her face. Great. [Color=585c74]”I'm new to Margaret Carter, transferred over from Gates Academy when I got powers. As for if I know Percy…I do. We went to Gates together, practically grew up with each other really. He was a good friend, he deserved better than me. In the end I just ended up hurting him, then after summer…I didn't see him again this year, now I know why.”[/color] A part of him had thought something had happened to him, that maybe he was in a separate but similar program to the one he got put into. It seemed he just left instead. The truth stood silently behind Chase as he offered Sabine something more beautiful. [Color=585c74]”I had come here to see what Margaret Carter had to offer given the transfer, saw Percy out there on the field and well…I got excited, for a moment there I saw my old friend, I forgot that I'd hurt him. I want to apologize to him, it won't fix anything, I know, but I still think I should even if he doesn't accept it.”[/color] Chase glanced behind him towards the Parents who were no doubt watching him, and the kids who had formed a sort of barrier around Percy. [Color=585c74]”I don't think I'm going to get that chance though, not with so many people here. I thought maybe…maybe I could give him one more victory tonight, to celebrate. You know? But, I fucked that up already.”[/color] Chase let out a sigh before pushing his hair back as he ran his fingers through it. [Color=585c74]”I am so sorry Sabine, I didn't mean to be such a downer, you're so easy to talk to I caught myself monologuing. I'd grab a bite but…seafood isn't exactly my favorite. Maybe there's dessert somewhere. Or…a dance?”[/color] He looked towards Cassie and the others who had begun to dance, looking back towards Sabine wondering if she'd like to.
