Enter Arithon, from the House of Arch. He has shadows wrapped around his face. It keeps the light out of hungover eyes. Most of the light. Sorcerers can see in the dark. He makes his way to a booth, and shrouds it in shadow as well. Ow.

He may not say that, but she's gotten better at reading people.

"But you don't want to, do you, Arithon?"

"No, Lady. I do not wish to. I no longer have the choice."

Flatly. It says 'Conversation ends here'. He looks up at her with bleak green eyes, then directs them firmly to his plate.

The Valkyrie knows how to drop subjects as well. She eats for a bit, before finally-

"Well, the sculptures were still beautiful. If it doesn't tax you to do the magic to make them, maybe you could make more?"

"I could, and I would be happy to. What would you like to see?"

He is grateful. Really.

"Oh, anything you'd like to make, really." She chuckles.

"Hm. If they could be lit up... Most magical lights don't give off heat unless they're willed to."

"You are unhelpful, and I am not artistic."

He says with a laugh.

"You were artistic enough before!" Svava laughs.

"Though if you made some that could be lit up, both Yrael and I could do that, with the magics we both know."

"All I did before was put memories to ice, Lady."

He shakes his head at her, and laughs.

She gives him a mock glare, and sips her hot chocolate.

"We'll also have to do another music and dancing night."

"As you wish, lady."

He should never, ever have let on that he could dance. He'll get used to it, though, because his player re-read that section and realized that she'd read it wrong. So we'll say he's just been posing as a dance-hater and will give up the pose when he realizes Svava is going to make him be social will he or nil he.

A slight grin and she nods.

"And we will have to get more people next time, if we can...Hm."

He's not going to organize, damnit. He won't. He just makes a non-committal noise, and eats his dinner.
