[Christmas Party Log] || [I wish you a Merry Christmas~] || [Open]

Characters: Everyone ever.
Setting: Floor 38- On Christmas Eve and Christmas.
Format: Action or prose, whichever format you prefer.
Summary: CHRISTMAS PARTY! Now that the Jason!Flu is finally over, all the characters can celebrate Christmas in peace (nearly?) and eat some acceptable food that was cooked by the volunteers. The 38th floor is, as usual, the floor where the party happens and has been entirely decorated for Christmas. The Christmas Party will be open for Christmas Eve and the entirety of Christmas. For characters who wouldn't check this floor, the party has been advertised on the network.

As is usual with these party logs, it's free game! Feel free to post a mingle thread for your character as they spend time in the party or an activity (singing, dancing? playing game? gift giving? anything). Add to that, you're free to start as many threads as you want, be they open or closed! Please put in the header your character's name or the activity's name. If a prompt is closed, then please make sure to write it in the header too!

Warning: Fun times?

The lounge on the 38th floor has been entirely decorated with ribbons, tinsels, Christmas balls and many other things- All hand-made of course. The first thing that can probably be noticed upon entering is the majestic Christmas Tree sitting near the entrance, decorated as well and with wrapped boxes at its feet. There are a lot of empty spaces in the room for people to dance if so they wish as well as empty tables to organize games or sit down, in short everything needed to run an activity. Oh, and there is mistletoe hung at the floor's entrances. Nothing bad really.

Most important there is a lot of food in here, placed on a couple tables. Most of that food comes from the tower's restaurant-- Someone must have done a lot of work for the tower these last days. At least here and now you don't have to risk a limb to get some quality food. Aside from the restaurant food there are also cakes, yule logs as well as many cooked meats and fruits.

Last but not least, this floor isn't as cold here as the rest of the tower. There are a total of what appears to be four fireplaces (hand-made as all the other decorations) in the room, one against each of the walls with fires lit within them. Of course these are not exactly normal fires and a lot of resources and energy has been spent to make them so they will last for the entirety of the party- After this they will be unusable, but at least until then they will keep the room at a normal temperature.

[Walking alongside Haldir, silvery hood pulled over his head, the prince looked around the party with a faint smile. It was rather festive even if the holiday, traditions and decor were completely unfamiliar to him. Although, it almost reminded him of the celebrations in Mirkwood and made him feel a bit homesick for a moment if he hadn't taken a glance at Haldir.

He was terribly underdressed in comparison to the march warden, a fact which secretly pleased him though he made no effort to hide his smirk. Hoping their connection strong enough, Legolas thought:

Thiog vae.]

[ A hint of surprise crossed his face once he heard Legolas' voice within his mind. Telepathy isn't a rarity amongst their kind, but Haldir didn't once think it was possible for Legolas and him to share such a strong bond to achieve it. Then again, as the last few days have proved the two of them have grown rather close.

Giving the prince a small smile, Haldir approached. ]

Le fael.

[ He chuckled lightly as he reached to wrap Legolas' hand within his own. ]

[He gladly held onto Haldir's hand, giving it a soft squeeze in appreciation for having him there with him. Perhaps, so long as Haldir was with him, this evening wouldn't be too intolerable.

Leaning close to Haldir, he whispered softly:]

Not generous enough, I would think. Tonight you look as royalty.

[ Haldir's smile grew even more once he heard the following compliment. Was it truly so rare for him to dress in such garbs? Perhaps he should make it a habit to dress up more often. It would seem that Legolas greatly enjoys this more so than he does. ]

Come now, we both know I hardly look as handsome as you.

[ He whispered in return. ]

I hope this party does wonders to lift your spirits.

[Oh yes, he's most certainly enjoying it. Perhaps he'd find someone later that could craft more clothes of such quality for Haldir. And leave them as a gift, anonymously of course.]

I'm inclined to disagree.

[Oh ho, someone's still a bit sore about his hair but he grins to his companion and gives his hands another squeeze. Such a shame he hadn't dug his circlet from his trunk before they came. He'd insist on Haldir wearing it.]

You've already drawn me from my room. It's progress.

[ He's honestly a tad skeptical about receiving such lavish gifts, but it wouldn't take him long to figure out who the sender was. ]

Fair enough, but I certainly hope to have you realize that the state of your hair matters very little here.

[ The march warden stated as he slipped his hand free from Legolas' and pushed back that awful hood. ]

Be proud.

[ A beautiful smile graced his lips as he wrapped his arms tight around Legolas. ]

Your beauty still outshines the very stars.

[There was a moment of panic from the blonde elf as Haldir released his hand and pushed back his hood. He even pouted, just for a moment, before giving a Haldir a smile and returned the embrace. His support meant more than Legolas knew how to voice.]

You'll not let me keep my hood up at all this evening, will you?

[His ears turned a bit red from the compliment though and he wrapped his arms around Haldir again.]

[ That look of horror amused Haldir as he swept the prince up within a loving embrace. What does Legolas truly have to fear here? Are they not amongst friends? Even the wicked here know better than to stir up trouble during such an elaborate celebration. Therefore, Legolas has nothing to fear. ]

I'm afraid not.

[ He replied with an impish smile. ]

[Nothing but the reactions he'll receive in reaction to the cut style. At least it was evenly cut now, thanks to Haldir's help, and would grow back evenly. Unless the style grew on the prince.]

If it were anyone but you, I would object. And since it is you, I suppose I'll keep it down.

[That smile's going to get Haldir some attention later. Legolas has wine stashed in his room now.]

[ Releasing Legolas briefly from his arms, Haldir quickly sought the elven prince's hand. Their fingers laced together tightly much like a knot upon a sturdy rope. ]

I feel rather fortunate that you hold me in such high regard.

[ A cheerful laugh soon followed after his playful reply. ]

Enough talk! Shouldn't we be celebrating?

[ As much as he honestly loathes parties of any kind, Haldir couldn't help but admit that parties are more enjoyable with a handsome date. ]

I propose we join the dancing while we're still able.

[Haldir holding his hand again anchored him, in a way. Made his feel more at ease with being so exposed. And he wasn't sure Haldir realized just how high a regard Legolas had for him but he'd find out eventually.

With a laugh, Legolas nodded and started leading his date out among the dancers.]

I thought you might not ask!

[ It did Haldir's heart some good to see Legolas so carefree and jovial now. He had feared the young elf would wear his depressive mask for the rest of his days. The march warden understood how important appearances were, but he honestly saw no need for Legolas to hide himself. ]

I take it that the Elves of Mirkwood are sufficient dancers.

[ He teased with a smirk. ]

If not, then I shall be disappointed.

Sufficient? I would go so far as to claim we are the best.

[Haldir's smirk was returned with a smug grin from Legolas as he wrapped his arms around the other.]

Would I disappoint you?

[Leaning in close, teasing a bit.]

Shall I lead?

[ Haldir was about to mention something about how the Elves of Lothlorien were always known for their love for dancing, until Legolas suddenly pulled him close. All of his thoughts went blank rather suddenly, and he suspected that Legolas' presence had something to do with it. So instead of a witty comeback, Haldir just nodded for the younger elf to lead. ]

You should never disappoint me.

And I never will.

[He'd gladly lead Haldir in this dance, following the beat of the music and a smile never leaving his face. Between the music, the mood, warmth and, most importantly, Haldir, he found he could do little else but smile.]

[ He laughed somewhat at that last comment not because he doubted Legolas, but because it rang true within his heart. The prince was everything he could have ever wanted in a mate, and this much was true. There's just something so majestic about Legolas, something so alluring that even Haldir couldn't escape his charm.

Somewhere between all their dancing and laughter, Haldir leaned forward to kiss him. It was a shy kiss, nothing like the lip-lock they would share in private quarters. But it was a kiss nonetheless. ]

[Leaning forward to press his own lips against Haldir's, very lightly, he could feel his heart soar a bit. It wasn't new to him, he felt that way whenever he was around Haldir. Since their first kiss to this moment, when Haldir had comforted him about the change in his hair, being there for him when he'd found Gimli's grave.

Six months ago, he'd have never even considered growing so attached to someone. Especially with how often people died and disappeared, the cruel experiments performed on them all. Legolas wasn't sure when he had changed his mind about that but he was glad that he did.]

Gi melin.

[ At first, Haldir didn't know what to say. He wasn't even certain if he had heard Legolas correctly. Surely the Prince of Mirkwood hadn't confessed his love for him now.

Of course not!

Why would he be utterly in love with him in the first place? Haldir wasn't even of noble blood. He's just a Silvan hailing from the Golden Woods, a mere march warden who've sworn fealty to the Lord and Lady. Therefore, why was Legolas claiming to love him?

Out of pity? No, no! That thought within itself is erroneous at best. Legolas wasn't the type to toy with someone's emotions. Never. ]

Legolas?

[ He whispers softly against his lips. ]

...You have my heart as well.

[No, he most certainly wasn't the type of elf to toy with someones emotions. Especially not Haldir's. He hadn't quite planned on admitting that this evening either, it had simply slipped out. Now that it was out there though, he felt so much lighter.]

I am glad.

[He was smiling, lightly pressing his lips back against Haldir's.]

[ He closed his eyes and drowned out the sounds of the party as he kissed Legolas tenderly upon the lips. They kissed for a long while, the two of them completely oblivious to the scene around them. If Haldir hadn't needed to pull away for air, he wouldn't have ended the kiss as quickly as they did. ]

I know not why you've chosen me, but I am honored.

[For the entire kiss, Legolas completely forgot that there others around them. They could have very well been in the privacy of their own rooms for all he cared or realized. And when they pulled apart, Legolas was left a bit breathless.]

My heart chose you. I wouldn't have been able to stand this place as I have if I didn't have you here to support me.
