Almost as soon as Ziltik began seeking Kiderusa, a small form shot out of the stairwell and into the room. The arrival seemed to be entirely composed of soap bubbles, vaguely holding a draconic shape.
Kiderusa hated baths.
As Kiderusa raced around the room trailing soapy water and threatening the quality of the ball-goers' outfits, Catherina bounded down the stairs in pursuit of the wayward dragon. She was no where near ready for the ball, unless it was her intention to go attired in a rubber smock, rubber gloves up to her elbows, and a rag holding her hair down, presumably to keep it from being soaked by a splashing dragon. "Kiderusa-you-get-back-here-right-now-I-will-not-have-a-dirty-dragon-at-the-ball!" she exclaimed in one breath, following the bubbly trail that lead to where the dragon had taken refuge under a table. "Oh, come ON! You're getting even worse!"

"AHA! Found it," Arden exclaimed.
You're welcome, he thought to Arlene. From beneath the couch he pulled a very dusty box.
Looking up, he managed to yell "NICE TO MEET YOU!" To the boy with the wood before he left the common room.
"Oh, hey Vissiand. I here your date's gonna be really hot. But I bet she can't match mine," He stood up, blowing on the lid of the long, rectangular box. Then he brushed off his knees and straightened his tie. Slightly fumbling with it, he managed to get the box open and pulled out a delicate, silver bracelet. In the center was a tiny diamond shaped like a raindrop, encircled by a small, silver ring that would come to hang in the center of the back of Karia's hand. He took her right hand and slipped it on, closing the clasp.
"You like it? I put it there 'cause I figured you'd never look there and.." he looked down. "Well..i thought it'sd be pretty with your hair and all..but if you don't want to, it's okay, I mean...yeah." A voice in his head told him to stop blabbering, but he was already started. "And i thought you'd like it. Do you? I mean..I thought you might. But now..I dunno. It's also shiny...and I thought..well. yeah."
The only thing that showed he aknowledged Cat and the dragon, was a brief eyebrow raise and curioous expression.

Arlene didn't bother to hide her contempt at Vissiand's question. The vampire knew perfectly well that she didn't like the arrangement, but that she was willing to go along with it for now. Cat? No, I haven't seen her. She said something about a dirty dragon last time I saw her.
Arlene noticed how quickly Jeremy had left the room after her entrance. She couldn't help laughing slightly. The guy was really paranoid. She had no intention of telling him that she didn't read minds without permission - or at least, tried not to - as watching him squirm when she was near was actually quite entertaining.
Then Cat burst into the room following a very distraught dragon. As near as Arlene could tell in the midst of sidestepping the chase as much as she could, Cat had been trying to give him a bath.
Oh. Well, that explains the dirty dragon part, she thought sheepishly to Vissiand. "Hey, Cat! Need a hand?" It wasn't that Arlene had forgotten she was in formal wear. It was that she wanted to get out of it as soon as possible, and dirtying it in a bathing attempt sounded like the perfect way to get out of going to the ball.

Karia laughed as Kiderusa scampered around their feet covered in bubbles. Cat wasn't ready yet; Vissiand looked quite the stylish vampire, and for once he looked like a gentleman. She grinned impishly as Arlene described the ambush earlier that evening, but when Arden pulled out the delicate bracelet and put it on her hand, she was utterly speechless.
She stared at it for a moment, feeling the cool metal against her hand, hardly believing it was real. It glittered on her wrist, reflecting the light of the room with a dancing fire. Then she looked up at Arden, still rather dumbfounded.
"A-Arden," she started, " It's...It's beautiful! It's- You- I don't know what to say!" She pulled him into a gentle kiss, and when she withdrew, her eyes were sparkling. "This is incredible!"

Vissiand smirked. He raised his wand and shot a body-bind charm at the bubble-dragon. It froze, and roze into the air. "Need help?" he asked the poor girl rushing towards it. I don't get it, Arlene, what do you have against me and Cat being together? He lowered the dragon into Cat's arms.

Cat looked thankfully at Vissiand. "I had no idea when I would catch her. For a creature who loves being flattered, one would think that she would like being clean! Yet she– hey!" Cat was cut off as the Full Body Bind charm abruptly ended. It apparently did not last as long on dragons, and Kiderusa was immediately squirming to get loose. Her soap covered scales aided her greatly in this regard, and in moments she was on the run again.
Heading straight for Arden.
Soap suds obscuring the young dragon's vision, she pelted headlong into Arden's legs, getting soap all over his nice pants.
Then his pants fell down.

Arden looked at Karia, then quickly back at the floor "I-" Next thing he knew, he was sliding towards the door in a tangle of dragon, bubbles, and his pants. "Oof!" He groaned. Standing up, he shook himself off. It was an odd feeling, he felt like his legs were totally bare. Looking down, he realized that, sadly, tthey were. Arden's face lit up with color to match the red and orange polka-dotted boxers he was wearing. He looked at Karia, Catherina, Arlene, Vissiand, and then at the little dragon, and back down to his legs. And then he started to laugh.

Being blind was a very fortunate thing to be during this event, as Arlene was blissfully unaware of the consequences of Kiderusa knocking head-long into Arden. She was too busy trying to answer Vissiand.
Look, I told you before, I don't have a problem with it. That doesn't mean I have to like it. I'm accepting it, and you should count yourself lucky for that. Can we drop it?
Arden's laugh cut her off. "What's so funny?" She asked, turning towards him.

Karia went from astonished to doubled over in laughter in no time flat. All in all, though it wasn't exactly the most pleasant thing to have happen, Arden getting his trousers dropped by a soaped up little dragon was a marvelous tension reliever.
"Kiderusa," she gasped out after finally controlling her laughter, "Just pulled down Arden's pants! Here come on, put them back on, let's get you cleaned off." It was the first time Karia had ever called the dragon by name. "Cat, let me help you, you need to get ready, and frankly you're a bit of a mess right now. Next time just get one of us to use a cleaning charm. Or learn it yourself, that works too."
She drew her wand and the soap bubbles dissapeared, though Kiderusa was sparkling clean, and Arden's pants were no longer coated in the fluffy bubbles.

"Very well," said Vissiand aloud. He chuckled at Arden's fall, wondering if he should even try to help retrieve the dragon. As long as it didn't come near him, he enjoyed seeing the small mass of bubbles spead chaos.

Arden took his pants back from Karia, soap bubble-less and dry. "Sorry 'bout that everybody." Arden was still laughing though, even as he mentally berated himself for skipping a belt...again.

"He... wait, what?" Arlene laughed at the image of Arden without his pants and couldn't figure out if she felt sorry she couldn't see it, or grateful.
Remembering why she had come in the first place, Arlene left Arden to his escapade and walked over to the table Cierra said she had left it on. It wasn't there. Secretly relieved that she would have to spend some time looking for it, she felt around on the table in case her mindwaves had missed it. Nothing. She knelt down and felt around under the table and adjoining couch, but it wasn't there either. Taking her sweet time, Arlene stood back up and tried another table in case she'd mixed up Cierra's description. Still nothing.

Vissiand couldn't help but stare at Arlene's...well he didn't really know what she was doing. But his thoughts were halted when a new one entered his mind. She's here. Ziltik's intrusion came unexpectedly. Ziltik, what the f--and then Vissiand realized what his demon meant.
Kithandre walked down the stairs, in her black dress, which almost seemed to draw darkness to itself to a mortal eye. But Vissiand was a vampire--one switch to infrared vision and he realized what his sister was wearing. "Looks good on you, but I don't know why you need an anti-magic enchanted dress in a school ball." "It looks good on me." She grinned. Vissiand secretly knew why she had it on--if anyone had followed her here, to the school...she would need to be sheilded from any who knew her for what she was. From anyone looking to kill a vampire.
