"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" Nikita muttered to herself, punctuating each repetition with a pump of her curled fist and swish of her dark wavy hair. She took a deep breath and spoke calmer. "The real reason I'm here is because I'm worried about you." Since Haru stormed out, she addressed Ryou first. "You haven't been yourself lately and he's..." She waved her hand in exasperation. "He's cutting every single person out. Not to mention running himself ragged in the process." She gave a heavy sigh drooping both hands and her head, letting her hair hide her face. "It scares me." She whispered and wiped her palm over her hidden face. "What's happening to you? This... today... what happened in that room." She fumbled over the words, behaving unlike herself too.

"I'm sorry, Ryou."

She didn't elaborate further, but a rush of all things she regretted lately filled her head as she leaned more heavily on the doorjamb. Dammit! This incident would probably force Haru even deeper in himself if she knew him, but could she seriously leave Ryou there fuming? It was abnormal behavior for him to react so aggressively to things. Something must be wrong, but how would he even respond? Would he be just as annoyed as Haru for her interfering? She actually wasn't trying to interfere though.

Kyle lifted his head slowly at the somewhat distant sound of Falke's voice. He focused on it and remembered more recent history, wincing briefly. He wiped his own face, on his silk sleeve, but he wasn't afraid of messing it up. They had so much stuff now that it didn't even matter any more. He nodded and stood up brushing off the back of his britches. Whoever this Yagi person is- they sounded pretty important- they might not appreciate him making himself at home before invited.

When the crowd parted, he answered an intense urge to stand up straighter, as the little old woman called them. This Yagi was indeed an important person, but he wasn't sure where he stood in her presence. Somewhat awkwardly he just went with the flow of people. His immediate reaction to the woman reaching for his face was to pull back, but she wasn't harsh or unpleasant at all. The entire situation was odd and he tried not to squirm when sitting in silence. This was Tallyho's family, Tallyho's traditions, so he looked to her for cues. In doing so, he squelched all the questions stirring in his head for now. It took some time, but he eventually also slipped into the meditative silence and fully enjoyed himself with the dancing and music and alcohol, which was much better than the stuff in the palace.

At the end of the party, he had a pleasant tingling in his nose and felt truly happy for the first time since they arrived in Rose Kingdom. No dark thoughts or fears troubled him and he laughed at seemingly simple things, like a flower blooming inside a crack in the nearby wall. Without even thinking about it, he plucked the flower and reached over to twist it in Tally's curls. "Your hair is pretty. Why do you cover it up?"
