Upon returning to the Gathering, Yineh, Kion, and Reteh made their way to the common where they were met with an invite to join Vivica, Lina, Chyla, and Demoron for last meal.
After sitting down at her usual spot, Yineh looked around the table and noticed that Demoron was practically glowing, whereas Chyla looked as though she wanted to hide under the table.
'''
Yineh: So~ how'd everyone's moon go?
Vivica: It was actually a lot of fun here. Li-su had started obsessed with me, but actually swapped for Te-su after being around him for a while.
Yineh: Not surprising, girl obsessions are usually pretty weak if there's a guy around.
Vivica: Yeah, but then Pet-su showed up and Te-su decided to turn the moon into a training exercise by setting up challenges.
Yineh: Seems kind of pointless with you around. No offense to anyone, but in a fair challenge, Viv's more or less impossible to beat.
Chyla: *pouting* She didn't compete.
Yineh: Petra is the next one I'd think would win given that she's a rammu-jhu.
Vivica: Nope, Li-su won!
Yineh: Huh, didn't see that coming... no offense Li-li, but I have a hard time seeing you beating Pet-su at anything she'd be willing to do on a full moon.
Vivica: Chy-su and Pet-su were evenly matched, so they lost to Li-su in most cases because they were too busy focusing on each other.
Yineh: That's pretty impressive, actually. So, Chy, why so grumpy if you proved you're already capable of matching a rammu-jhu? Was there some kind of special prize for the winner or?
Vivica: No, she's just upset because she's super embarrassed about how she acted in front of Te-su.
Yineh: *perplexed* Did she somehow act worse than Pet-su? Pet-su gets so over the top competitive it's hard to imagine anyone embarrassing themselves more than her. *bombastic laughter*
Vivica: The only one who usually comes close is you. *playful raspberry* Speaking of, I noticed you're the only one of you three who looks like a complete mess.
Yineh: Ye~ah... *long trailing off awkward laughter* I kind of went overboard and got my tail saved by Mirra-su... a few times. On the bright side, I learned a lot about what branches—not to jump to. Anyway~ in the end Mirra-su got tired of saving me and decided to catch me and burn me out herself, and Re-re wound up catching Ki-su. Overall it was fun. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to burn out with Ki-su, but it's hard to be upset about anything when you get burned out by Mirra-su.
Chyla: Why's that?
Yineh: If you're as competitive as Pet-su you'll find out soon enough, I'm sure. *knowing smile* *epiphanic* Oh, right, sorry about snapping at you, no hard feelings, right? *seductive* I'd be—more than happy to make it up to you tonight if you were interested. *seductive smile*
Chyla: *blushing heavily* I... I was hoping to get a chance to apologize to Teran tonight.
Yineh: You'll want to wait until tomorrow if you're hoping to give him the same kind of apology I'm going to give you. *knowing smile* Since he was around for the full moon, and didn't get his normal guy's time, he'll be spending the night with Wa-su. Which I'm assuming is why they're both missing. *perverted chuckle*
Chyla: In that case, I'd be happy to accept your apology.
Yineh: *excited clapping* Score! *stunned* I mean *clears throat* I'll meet you at the trainee building after I get cleaned up, unless you like my current look? *swagger smile*
