Kordiavis really wasn’t a fan of large social gatherings and when he heard about Nerreh’s party, he had decided that would be utter chaos and not worth his time to go. That was until Mylorah insisted it would be good for him to mingle more with the Candidates, especially since he was finally going to Stand for the first time. He took classes with most of the people invited to the party but didn’t really interact with most of them outside of that. He found it to be a bit of a chore, preferring to be left alone to paint, read, or nap. But Mylorah was annoying when she got something in her head and he couldn’t deny her in the end, knowing she was likely right and he should at least put in an appearance. Not that he cared, but he could just imagine what people thought about him and his avoiding of other people. Actually, the shock on a lot of their faces when he did pop in would be worth dealing with the crowd and missing some of his lovely sleep.
Mylorah wanted to go earlier than him but he decided to wait until things were likely already happening so it’d be less awkward sitting around staring at everyone as they arrived, so the girl had pouted and waited until he was finally ready to go. She likely knew he’d fall asleep and miss the party otherwise and Kordiavis actually smirked when he called her out on that and she agreed.
Since admission to this social event of the year was a gift for this Nerreh person he could possibly point out in a line up but that was about it, Kordiavis had swiped an extra sticky bun from dinner, having heard she liked sweets. He followed Mylorah to Nerreh to greet her, Kordiavis mumbling a ‘happy birthday’ as he plopped the bun wrapped in a napkin in her waiting hand and then wandered off. He surprised himself by holding short conversations with some of the people that approached him and after starting his second drink, was even starting to relax and smile a little bit more when a topic he liked came up. For the most part, though, he stayed off to the sides, watching the way some people behaved when authoritative figures weren’t around and also made note of the ones who seemed to stand a bit straighter and tried to look like decent humans again when they spotted him. That was kind of a downside to his mother being the goldrider mentor and a bit crazy. He knew some people in the past that treated him like a precious gem, afraid that if they didn’t, Alcynnia might snap their head off; possibly even literally.
As he passed by a group sitting on the floor playing cards, Kordiavis froze as he heard something about not playing but still stripping. He glanced down and saw that it was Nerreh speaking and she had grabbed the arm of someone else passing by. He rolled his eyes, glad it wasn’t him she tried to persuade to the silly task. If someone wanted to see him naked, they’d have to try a little harder than that. Though he would have appreciated the creative attempt.
Maybe he’d finish his drink, find Mylorah, and let her know that he was leaving. He put in his time and there didn’t seem to be anything worth staying for. The games didn’t catch his eye and there really wasn’t anyone he had been dying to interact with that he couldn’t do on his own time and in a quieter setting.
