It's Swing Time~

[cipherspeak]

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Elisha's motivation for organizing - or, honestly, delegating the organization of - a semi-formal dance party. Lucinda had suggested a ball, with stars in her eyes. She probably had already picked out ballgowns and themes in her head when Elisha had nixed the thing and - in a moment of desperation, with the memory of the swing-themed Fox wedding still in his head - suggest a Spring Swing, instead.

Everyone had run with it, and Elisha was pleased to say it had come out well. He was even more pleased to say that he didn't have to wear a suit, even if he stepped out into the lantern-lit gardens in everything but the tie. He paused near the raised dais provided for dancing and gave the small band the signal to start up the music before he attempted to fade back in the crowd. Not that that ever worked.

"Let the games begin," he murmured to no one in particular as he picked up a glass of champagne off a tray.

Note: Open to everyone and their brother; tag around, have fun!

"Its still worth the effort to try." He responded softly. "Humans are meant to be social though some would argue otherwise. Even if you don't make friends a person should at least go out and be around people."

"Do you think that's enough? Simply... being around them?" It was meant to come out lightly, but he couldn't stop the real question underneath.

Would anything ever really be enough? Selfishness is what this was.

Greylan paused, actually considering the question. "For some it is. Its like any other think in the world. Some people are happy with the basics and some want everything. You can't really know what's enough for everyone else just what is enough for you and even that may take some time to learn."

"So philisophical at such a young age."
