!!!((private, me and Kait only.))!!!
Rhett sighed as he wandered around the ball.
It was a time for all races and cultures to come together and mingle, kind of a way to keep the peace, and it only happened once a year.
And only a select group were invited, the strongest, most reverred, highest honored, the best of each culture, only the best to represent each group.
And this year, unfortunately, Rhett was chosen to go, though he would have liked to stay him.
Being a dark elf, being at a ball with so many people was a massive invasion of his privacy. The people wanted to know everything about him and his people, but he'd be d**ned if he told a soul. For him to know and them to find out.
Rhett would have much rather be at home, relaxing or training.
But he was here, so he was going to try to make the most of it.
The music was fine, people were attractive and the alcohol was begging to be drunk.

*Ares stayed in the corner of the ballroom by himself, rather exhausted from conversing with the chieftaness of the gorgons about the climate of his homeland. He sighed as he stared into his glass of red wine, pushing a lock of his dark violet hair out of his scarlet eyes. He had been rather eager for the chance to observe and learn first hand from the various cultures, but he was getting rather tired of just talking about the weather and politics... he got enough of that at home... Instead, he wanted to learn... Talk about something completely different. Observe customs of each culture instead of watching them all try to behave the same way and speak of the same things... He sighed heavily, just lifting his gaze to watch the dancing couples though he was too distracted by his own thoughts.*

Rhett walked around the ball room, finishing a glass of wine before getting another quickly after.
Some people tried to stop him to talk, but he pushed on, ignoring them.
Though some people didn't understand they were being ignored.
One persistent man followed Rhett, trying to talk to him, asking him the stupidest questions. Rhett just focused on his wine.
But when that was empty again... there was no more distraction, and he turned on the man.
"go away... just because everyone in this room is allies does not mean I like you, nor does it mean I'm going to divulge my deepest darkest secrets to you or talk about the stupid weather. I live in a dense dark forest, I don't know the local weather and frankly I don't care."
he snatched the man's wine glass and downed it quickly as he walked away, hoping for the ball to be over with quickly.

*Ares frowned as he realized his glass was empty, making his way to the back of the room to have it filled again. He nearly tripped on one man's tail and blushed a little as some rather attractive witches giggled as he passed by them. He shook his head a little, waiting for one of the servants to fill his glass before he started sipping it quietly.*

Rhett got his glass filled again before leaning against a wall, drinking it quickly.
Maybe if he were drunk the party would go by faster... He could only hope as he finished his wine again, taking a small break to rest his hand on his forehead, wondering how much he had had already...
Then he got another glass and drank this one slowly, his cheeks flushing slightly as they usually did when he was getting drunk.

*Ares had barely finished his glass of wine when one of the witches from before came up to him and asked him to dance, barely waiting for a yes before dragging him off onto the dance floor. He blushed just slightly at her boldness and her very obvious flirtatious looks, but he tried to focus more on dancing, happening to be a very graceful man. She started asking him all sorts of personal questions, which he tried his best to answer, but he wound up quite uncomfortable, occasionally glancing around for some sort of excuse to stop dancing.*

He eventually finished his latest glass of wine, beginning to feel very tired from all the alcohol in his system.
Rhett stumbled slightly as he stood up straight from the effects of the wine and his drowsiness.
But he got one more, deciding to cut himself off after that, knowing he shouldn't embarrass the dark elves, and just keeping his mouth shut instead of speaking to anyone who asked him something, since there was the chance he'd yell at them.

*Ares whirled around and around the dance floor with the young witch who was now talking all about how wealthy she was, getting rather bored as he listened to her drone on. However, one face in the crowd caught his eye and he ceased to pay attention to the young woman, staring at a particularly handsome man who looked to be a dark elf... He couldn't help but smile a little, frequently glancing at the man through the rest of his dance with the witch who seemed oblivious to his lack of attention.*

Rhett finished off his last drink and set his glass down.
He stood up straight and rubbed his eyes as they tried to droop shut. What he wouldn't give to just leave and go to sleep, but he couldn't leave till it got late enough, or it would be rude...
He was close to telling the people who forced him to go to the ball to go to hell.
This was not his scene, not something that interested him, and with how tired and intoxicated he was... the party was not getting any more fun...

*Ares finally managed to break away from the dancers, briefly glancing at the man he had spotted earlier before heading out onto the balcony for a breath of fresh air.*

Rhett tired to make his way around the edges of the ball room, but someone bumped into him and sent him into the wall.
He groaned quietly. It wasn't a hard it, but now he just wanted to stay there, slide down that wall and sleep.
But he couldn't, so he pushed himself off the wall and found a way outside. There he leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor. Rhett let out a small yawn, wanting to just sleep where he was.

*Ares glanced over his shoulder when he heard someone else step out onto the balcony, frowning a little when he saw the man he had been watching before sitting on the floor.* "Sir...? Are you all right...?"

"huh?" he looked up at the guy curiously, "Oh I'm fine." he yawned.

*Ares nodded slowly, not entirely convinced.* "You seem exhausted..."

"boredom and a tad... no, way too much wine... that's all." he shook his head, running a hand through his hair.
