[OTA] A lovely night

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

It's a bit impromptu but anyone wandering by the Green on this warm evening will find it lit by fairy lights everywhere and a few Deck musicians have set up in one corner and are taking requests.

And right out in the middle of things, Elani can be found dancing with anyone who offers.

[ooc: yes, blame Dancing with the Stars. And Qi. But anyway...come out and dance! With Elani...or otherwise. :)]

"I am the very model of a major modern gentleman," he quipped, grabbing her with one arm and using the other to continue tormenting her. "And nowhere in the gentleman handbook does it state tickling is against our code."

He was summoned :|

[morallydefunct.livejournal.com]

"....Perhaps there should be then." After all, when did this become remotely gentleman like he didn't know. Even if he chose to 'tickle' Zoe, it would never have been in public. His mother would have been horrified. "I believe you've tortured the Lady Elani enough."

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

She's gasping between the tickling as she catches sight of Victor, "...Victor?"

Okay, this was a little embarrassing, wasn't it?

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

Still chuckling, he ceases his tickling, but keeps a companionable arm around her, quirking a brow at the Spade. "But that would suck all the fun out of the few loopholes gentlemen have, Victor."

[morallydefunct.livejournal.com]

"What a shame that would be." His tone was dry as he tilted his head slightly. He might well have been on crutches, but there was still something of a high bar he carried himself in. Even is his suit didn't really fit well because of the cast. "Elani, I was hoping to have a moment of your time."

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

That has Elani's eybrows raising curiously, "you were?"

Victor rarely sought her out just because anymore and so if he was looking for her, it tended to be for a good reason.

And it has her slipping out of Rylan's grasp, "okay." But she'll pause and look back at Ry, "...you don't mind, right?"

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Why would I?" He lifted his brows at her, smiling lightly. "I'm sure Mr. Fox's needs are more important than my need to tease."

And it got him out of further prompts to dance.

[morallydefunct.livejournal.com]

"Sir." Victor said curtly, before offering Elani a slight smile. Turning he motioned for her to follow with him. It wasn't after all, as if he would be going anywhere quickly.

"I was hoping you might help me with something."

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

Elani flashed Rylan a sort of apologetic smile and gave him a wave before going to follow after Victor, careful not to walk too quickly once she catches up to him.

"I'd be glad to, if I can." Now she's doubly curious what's prompted this.

/summoned like a fox

Out of further prompts to dance?

What the shit is that shit?

Now is clearly the ideal time for the other McCartney to swoop in--and latch on. "Ry. You're not dancing."

Ahaha! I see the pun you did thar, smartypants.

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Evan. I can't dance. You know that." Though, he's edging away slightly. The older McCartney was more likely to try to physically manhandle him into joining, whereas Elani kept it to coy flutterings and pleadings that he could mostly ignore.

Hilarious on so many levels? I think so. /bows /will be here all week

[bluntforces.livejournal.com]

If Rylan thinks this isn't going to turn into some sort of wrestling dancing abomination? Then Rylan is wrong. One arm goes out--tight--around the other man's shoulders almost instantly. "I refuse that reality."

*throws popcorn at*

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"No substitutions allowed." He smirks, hand already creeping down to find the same spot on Evan that Elani had as a ticklish one. The joy of siblings.

/artful dodgers

[bluntforces.livejournal.com]

Oh, he feels cheating inbound. Squirming will be necessary. Squirming without letting go. "C'mon. Humour me. My life is so sad and meaningless."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Dude, I love you like a brother, but I'm not going to tango with you. S'just not happening."

[bluntforces.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Ry. Who said anything about the tango?" Head-butt. "This is the salsa."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Ev, if I can't tell the difference, why would you make me dance to it?" Knuckle to the ribs.

[bluntforces.livejournal.com]

Ow. Squirm and arm-pinch. "Because I love you. And want you to be a well-rounded person."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

Nose-wrinkle and rubs pinched spot. Steps on foot. "I'm very well rounded. More so than some."

[bluntforces.livejournal.com]

"Ow." Why the feet, Rylan. Why such a bitch move while there could be dancing. Time now for arms around the other man's shoulders and clinging from behind. Like a child? Yes. "Not 'f you haven't mastered the oldest art of gentleman-ing."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"I am not dancing, Ev. I'm sucktastic at it, and I'm aware. I'm perfectly fine with watching you and Elani light it up." Drops his arms down and reaches back to tickle at the ribs behind him.

[bluntforces.livejournal.com]

"But--" A huffed breath as he squirms. "--'lani is busy. And this is a growth opportunity."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Evan, talking about growth when you're clinging to me from behind is a very thin-ice subject." He had to chuckle, fingers still finding ticklish spots.

[bluntforces.livejournal.com]

"Who started the tickling, sir. Who."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"You expect me to refute that fact? Hell no, Evan." And he turned, working to get a better angle at the aforementioned tickling.
