@Tuxedo FoxIt was quite the impressive night Boogie had to admit, when it came to the Remembrance Day celebration King Cole certainly pulled no punches. The band's lively playing was nearly enough to sway Boogie to joining the rest of the crowd on the dance floor, but only nearly. There were dozens of servers scurrying about the extravagant ball room brandishing trays of varies foods and beverages. There was even an extensive buffet that looked like it was tailored to meet the preference of all those in attendance.
"Well almost everyone." Boogie added that last thought as he recalled what, or rather whom, his previous diet consisted of.
Boogie was pulled away from his analyst of the night's events when he felt a frail hand clasp itself onto his shoulder. Offering a side glance to confirm what he had already expected Boogie found that the owner of the hand was no other than the ageing wizard and one of his patients, Yen Sid. Not many other Fables socialized with Boogie unless it was absolutely necessary so it was no surprise for the former Bogeyman that the only soul in these festivities that bothered to speak with him was one of his patients. In all honesty this did not bother Boogie, he genuinely enjoyed the old man's company even out side of his office hours.
Boogie offered Yen Sid a smile, or rather the dry pencil thing that passed as his smile, as he took a seat next to him. As expected the once renowned shapeshifter began to speak in what others would label as nonsense, but to Boogie it was clear as day. Though he may have been in the dark about social cues, but Boogie couldn't understand the brain and its functions any better. Though Yen Sid's ramblings may have seem sad or been written off as nothing else, Boogie took them as a good sign that the old man still held enough of his mind that he could draw the conclusion of the celebration and festivities around him.
Before Boogie could give his greeting in earnest Yen Sid insisted on something that he had tucked away. Boogie watched as the elderly fellow began to have his arm consumed by his coin purse, unlike many people Boogie remembered that despite his current mental state Yen Sid was still quite the impressive spell weaver so it was no surprise to him as the wizard rummaged around his enchanted bag. When he was presented with the small present Boogie couldn't help but break out into yet another of his dry smiles, it was rare that he got to see the clearer side of Yen Sid and even more so that he was given such a kindness from another Fable. He wrapped his slender fingers around the box carefully and gave Yen Sid a respectful bow of his head as a thank you before securing the present away into the pocket of his dress jacket.
But this tender moment seemed to have been whisked away once a look of pure and utter terror came upon Yen Sid's face, a look Boogie knew all to well as he had inspired the very same one countless times in others before. But before he could pursue his suspicions further Yen Sid had slipped back into the haze that enveloped his mind. Having to stifle his worries for now, though he planned on bringing up his concerns with Yen Sid's apprentice Mickey later, Boogie drew on yet another smile for the old man.
"It is quite the pleasant evening Yen, and a even better one to enjoy with good friends." He said in the warmest tone he could muster, which even then came across as welcoming as the plague.
