Tian nodded and mulled over the information for a few moments. "Home-schooled, balls, elves...not this. Not girls in belts for skirts and well...just this." He glanced around the room, which was completely different from the vast majority of his experience. Sure, they'd wandered off whenever they could to have a new experience or adventure, but it wasn't the same.

"Ah, Society stuff?" Cat asked. "My parents grew up in that stuff, I've heard about it. Yeah, from what Mom's said, it's a totally different world. You're welcome to stop by anytime you've got a question, and I'll totally show you around. The school's got me set up as the welcoming committee so I do it all the time."

"Oh, brilliant! Thanks," Tian said, his eyes shining brightly. "We just wanted to get out and live, you know? Like, what you did back there? That was bloody impressive, that was, we'd never see anything like that. Someone turn into a giant cat in the middle of a ball and half the ladies would faint!" It would probably be hilarious.

Cat chuckled. "Life is short, I believe in living it." That meant learning, growing, and having a blast at every opportunity. It meant a lack of fear and regret. "There's always something going on somewhere. There's the school, Valfirid, and Owlton. You don't have problems with Muggles or anything, do you?" That'd dampen Cat's like of the guy, but he got the impression that Tian was open-minded. People who disliked Muggles tended to dislike him before he'd said a word.

"No! My father actually disowned his sister because she married this guy who ended up being a Death Eater," Tian said. He thought that had probably been a good thing, though he wasn't so sure about people disliking the woman's son because of the whole married a man thing. "Muggles can be a lot of fun, they don't just use a wand to do everything for them."

"Hallelujah," Cat said. "You'll fit right in around here." Aside from the money thing, but hopefully Tian learned fast. "Everyone around here's open-minded, you..." He was interrupted by a girl in jeans and a bra running as fast as she could through the crowd, and a moment later a guy with a pink shirt tied around his head like a turban. Cat laughed and cheered them on.

Tian watched as the girl ran by, barely even noticing the guy. "Do ah...do girls run around like that every day? Because I can sure as hell get used to that." It would take time, and some alone time, at that, but he could manage. He was pretty sure that a girl running around like that would have lead to some fainting laides, too.

Cat laughed. "No, I'm pretty sure they're just drunk," he said. "When the weather warms up though, you'll want to hit the beach. Bikinis everywhere." The beach here reminded Cat every year that Americans were prudes. Bikinis, speedos, it was skin city, and no one but the odd American bothering to cover up.
"I could introduce you around," he offered, looking aside at Tian.

"That would be good, I think, maybe we'll find my brother," Tian said. He had no idea where the guy might have gotten off to, but the area wasn't exactly huge. Throwing a party would be so much fun, though he bet that hanging chair would be tormented more than a little bit by a group of young drunks. "Are all of these people your friends?"

Cat grinned. "Of course," he said, then laughed and looked around. "Almost everyone's at least familiar," he said. "Everyone who shows up is invited. It's a great way to meet new people in the area." He gave Tian a meaningful look. Looks like it worked, didn't it?
"You're not expected to know anyone, you just go for it." He tapped an extremely pretty girl wearing an extremely short dress on the shoulder, and when she turned, he grinned. "Have you met Tian?" He gave a light push on Tian's back, then turned to walk away.

Brindle was completely breathless and half-ready to just go with Vilkas wherever he wanted. She still had enough brain left to say no, though. "I'll see you again, I promise," she said. Her hand slid down his arm and wrapped around it, testing the muscle there. "Just... I need to think." And she wasn't going to be able to do that pressed up against him.

Vilkas' lips turned into a half-grin at that hand against him and he couldn't help but flex the muscle briefly. It was frustrating not to see it through, but sometimes the hunt didn't have the intended end. He'd have to hang back for a few minutes to get his body back under control, but he wasn't one of those bastards who pushed and took. "Well, you go think, and once you're done thinking you can find me again, yeah?" A hand tightened on her hip briefly before he forced himself to take a little distance.

Oh yeah, Brindle thought. Her lips curved and she nodded. Then she stretched up to press a quick kiss to his lips before turning and walking away. Don't turn around, she told herself. Oh my God, I can't believe that happened! She headed for the house they'd walked through in search of something to drink.

Vilkas watched her leave, but stayed in his place beneath the tree for a minute or two, calming his blood and clearing his thoughts. Even after he was under control, it was hard to forget the way her slim waist felt beneath his hands, and the thought stayed with him as he wandered back to the bulk of the party. He grabbed a slice of overfilled pizza that was gone by the time he grabbed a cup to wash it down with.
"Don't worry," he said when he found Silver, "I was a good boy." Mostly. He grinned broadly and lifted the cup to his lips, reminding himself he should try paying Cat back at some point.

Silver glanced at Vilkas, then looked back out toward the party. "Nice to know," he said. He was quiet a moment, then went on. "She's like a sister," he said, "but she's not my sister. We kissed once, but I think it was just excitement over other things." He liked Brindle. He might have had a crush on her at some point, but it was weird to think about now.
