Korra’s smile grew wider after Sessile’s comment, the faerie held the dice tighter before giving them a quick shake. “Let’s see if you’ll be my lucky charm for the eve” the brunette smirked at Sessile and rolled the dice, screaming in excitement as the numbers rolled. Her smile still bright even as she saw the numbers land on 1 off the one she had. A hearty laugh escaped Korra’s lips as she leaned in on Sessile, “I guess your luck wasn’t enough to balance my misfortune”

-

Sessile watched the dice leaving Korra’s hand, a loss that was no bother, she had plenty of chips for them to waste. Meeting Korra’s smile with a smirk, Sessile snaked her arm out around the other. “Misfortune is just one outlook. I’d say catching me out of the crowd was pretty lucky. Let me get you a drink before I finish changing that luck?”

Gaddiel had finished speaking to someone that often came to his performances, and was in the middle of taking a drink when a familiar face approached him. “Sess?” he asked wide-eyed after he finished the gulp of liquid before it had the chance to spill back into his cup. “I didn’t know you were up here? When did you get here?” It had been some time, hundreds of years to be exact, since they’d last seen each other. “You look great. Always do.”

-

That was the reaction she wanted, “Charming as usual.” Sessile playfully teased, “Oh I come to Faerune often. However,” Thinking for a moment, “I do think this is the longest I’ve been in Faerune in a while. It’s been a few months now. I can’t believe I haven’t seen you until now.” Putting her hand on his cheek, she dove back into poking fun, “Look at you, so tan. The sun suits you.”

Sessile had grown bored of playing poker and meandered around the room looking for something new. Impulsivity pulled her to the roulette wheel, harder to predict and less safe of a bet. The chips clicked in her purse as she stopped short to the hand being held out. She recognized the other fae quickly, “anything for you.” Charm oozed from her brief smile before she blew softly on the dice. Sessile moved in close to Korra to watch the results. “I can think of better places to try your luck if this doesn’t work out.”

Korra absolutely loved the atmosphere of the casino event. The vibrant surrounding, fancy drinks and sparkling outfits, definitely something she needed after being away for so long. She had almost used all her savings, winning some quick coins at the slot machines, losing way more at the card tables and having an all around magical time. Now Korra seemed to have ran out of luck at the roulette wheel, but she wasn’t about to back down. The faerie downed her drink, took the dice in her palm and without warning everyone around her stopped the person near her right and extended the clenched dice to them, “Quick, give me your luck” the brunette smiled, sparkly eyes looking at their new lucky charm.

It was easy to find Sessile, she radiated in the middle of the room. Laughter booming as she raked in chips, gambling had always been her favorite past time. She had spent plenty of time in Vegas learning how to card count and changing her appearance every time she was banned from a casino. Ending her hand she swiped all of her chips into her purse with a sparkling smile.

It was time for a break, time to mingle and flirt. Sessile rode the high, purse tucked under her arm she snagged herself a drink before taking her lap. A familiar face she hadn't been expecting appeared in the crowd, she picked up pace to catch up to him. "Gaddiel?"

—- this was already better than melon had been anticipating, relief making her shoulders relax. she follows sessile, sidling up beside her into the next barstool over, her hands resting in her lap, and her tail hanging down, swaying softly.

she gives a laugh, shaking her head. “not exactly new. i used to live here about thirty years back! but after being away for a while, i decided that it’d be better to come live closer to town again. what about you? how long have you been in faerune?”

-

“What drew you back to such a mess of an excuse we call a city.” Laughing, Sessile waved her hand, “Oh I’ve been coming around and leaving forever. Perks of being an immortal am I right? What can I get you to drink?”

🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)

I have a tree in my room back home, she was given to me by my parents and has grown up with me. I usually have an acorn or two from her in my pocket or purse.

“Yeah? Hm.” Elijah put his hands behind his back, pretending to think about it. “That’s a very convincing argument because I can also think of funnier things to do in a kitchen. Are we thinking about the same thing?”

-

“While I’d hope so,” She rolled her eyes dramatically, “probably not. But I’d be happy to show you exactly what I’m thinking about.”

[sessile-quercus]

—- melon takes her hand with a bright, toothy grin, giving it a firm shake. “i think you might be right,” she says, “i’m melon. nice to meet your acquaintance! should we go find a table?” her other hand comes up, motioning around them.

“can i buy you a drink?”

-

The flare of red hair accompanied by solid grasp that had taken over Sessile’s hand was a refreshing start. Not many were that assertive in their introductions, perhaps tonight wasn’t going to be pointless. “Another plant name. I dig it.” Sessile laughed a little, “Yes please. To both.” Turning to find an unoccupied table, the fae slid into the nearest bar stool. “Question before we get started, are you new to town or am I just extremely unobservant?” 

[sessile-quercus]

ofterrafirma​:

—- melon had arrived fashionably late to the mingle, having originally wanted not to go. she didn’t really celebrate valentine’s day, never really liked it. but sitting at home also wasn’t really fun–she had come to faerune to be with people, damn it, and she was going to, valentine’s day or not.

she had just gotten her number and started walking around–most seemed to have been paired up already, and out of the corner of her eye she had caught her nephew’s adoptive brother with a girl. she would have to say hi to him later, perhaps. but her thoughts on it are cut short when someone else gets her attention, holding up their number. she holds up her own with a smile.

“i wouldn’t know! i just got here. luckily we found each other!”

-

Sessile returned the look, “Well I’d say that’s better luck than most are having around here.” Laughing she held her hand out to the other fae, hiding the fact Sessile was sizing her up, “Sessile. And you?”

[sessile-quercus]

A  singles mingle sounded ridiculous but Sessile knew both the Queen and Princess were going and that was something she wanted to witness. They had gotten use to all of the oddities of this world but not when her own were involved. It was like watching a new TV show and she couldn’t help herself. 

She gathered her number and grabbed a drink before looking at the paper in her hands, “six huh?” She muttered to herself, looking around. Getting the attention of the nearest person, they asked holding up their number, “Any luck finding your partner for the night?”

Elijah laughed a little and actually checked his very real watch before shrugging. “I was going to brew a batch of potions, but I am very happy to put that on the back burner and spend some time with you.”

-

She moved in close, tipping her chin to meet his eyes, “I hope you mean that figuratively because I can think of much more fun things to do in a kitchen than keeping an eye on a back burner.”

“Planning? Oh, my dear, I never plan anything. Plans never go according to, well, plan. No, no I prefer to just let the night take me where it pleases. It’s worked well for me for over a hundred years, so why change the format now?” 

-

“As they say, humans make plans and the fae laugh. Or is it the gods? I can never quite remember.” As their drinks were set down, Sessile picked hers up and took a sip before smiling, “I assume your not plan having has room for a party crasher?”

[sessile-quercus]

xelijahatkins​:

Elijah chuckled at the way she battered her eyelashes, typical, but he liked it. “Not long, a few weeks.” He told her with a smile. “Well, I’m all for catching up for old times sake whenever you like.” Elijah then took the object off the shelf for her and held it out.

-

“Seems to me the fates are playing games, pulling us both back in at the same time.” Sessile loved that he played her game with her, “Elijah, love, you know I’ll always make time for you. What’s your schedule looking like right about,” She checked a non-existent watch, “now?”

[sessile-quercus]

Oisín looked over to see who had joined them at the bar, they returned the smile and lifted their glass up in an acknowledgement to her presence. They took a drink, setting it down. “Oh I have the perfect drink for you. It’s called a Purple Lotus. I’ve never asked what was in it, but the mystery is what makes it so good.”

-

“I do love a good mystery.” Sessile caught the attention of the bar tender and made the order. Turning back to give Oisin their full attention, “What kind of tom foolery are you planning on engaging in tonight?”

[sessile-quercus]

xelijahatkins​:

Elijah had been minding his own business, list in hand, basket half way full when he felt someone reaching around him. He was ready to go on defense when he recognised that voice and turned to face her with a smile on his lips. “Well, well, look what the cat dragged back into Faerune. Couldn’t keep away either huh?” He didn’t move out of the way for her, just stood there with his eyebrow raised.

-

Elijah’s response was more than she had expected, not that she thought they’d be on bad terms but she supposed she should have anticipated him meeting her energy. Sessile smiled, biting her bottom lip. Disregarding entirely what had brought her over originally, she looked up at him and batted her eyelashes, “something about this place just keeps calling me back. How long have you been back? If I had known you were here I would have come and found you. For old time’s sake.”
