"Evil? The only thing sinister here is this uneaten chocolate cake." She grabbed the plate just as Trixie yanked her away.
Xan took a bite out of the cake only to see Trixie yank a monacle off some guys' face. "Sorry about that," she apologized in the prankster's stead only to have the monocle shoved into her hands. "We should probably give this back--"
Before Xan could finish her sentence an irritated looking man began storming towards them.
He yanked the monacle out of her hand and gave her the dirtiest look he could muster. "To think some people have no sense of proper decorum! I'll take this, thank you very much!" He narrowed his eyes at Trixie but decided to let it slide, he wouldn't look good in front of his friends if he started yelling at some child.
The metallurgist turned several shades of red before mumbling an apology. "We're really sorry about that," but before she could finish talking he had disappeared into the crowd and that was pretty much a relief. "Please don't do that again, as a superhero you can't just take things from people." Her words seemed to fall on deaf ears, Trixie was staring intently at Estelle and the fumbling boy, she winced sympathetically at the awkward dancing only for a voice to boom through the dance hall.
Her eyes flitted towards Moira, Aria, and Amy. Were they drunk? She shuddered when she remembered Moira chucking a table back at Los Paraisos. Hopefully, none of that would be happening here. Gods, she seemed to be giving the poor boy a I'm-going-to-kill-you look.
Thankfully Syed began waving, reminding Estelle about a dance she had promised him.
Xan turned to face their leader and the fumbling boy. "Oh, there's Marcus now," it wouldn't hurt to lie once in awhile and what the boy didn't know wouldn't hurt him. She pointed towards Syed's direction. "You better not keep him waiting, leader. You did promise him yesterday." The boy began panicking and Xan gave him a sympathetic smile. "He's a nice guy, don't worry, though you probably shouldn't keep her man waiting." It was hard not to chuckle at the last sentence, but she managed to keep a straight face.
