New Year's Eve Soiree

[sandsofchaos]

Jennifer had put in extra overtime for this - though Set himself had arranged the servers, made of sand and storm - but the stage was set. The glossy black bar was stocked fully with any kind of alcohol you could ever desire, including a selection of Egyptian microbrews. To the right of it, the dessert bar - staffed by two lithe, sloe-eyed girls - has any sweet you might desire, from a chocolate fountain to creme brulee to a dense raspberry torte.

There are the low couches by the windows, where the waiters pass with French champagne and canapes regularly, and for those who don't mind the chill, there are the vast decks just outside, where you can appreciate the sight of New York on this night, or...possibly find some privacy for that New Year's kiss.

He smiled at her as she sat, comfortably draping his arm behind her, not embracing without invitation, but in familiar comfort.

"Mm, I've little need to mingle, belovèd. Soon they will come to me."

Ego talking? Probably. But there was little arrogance in his tone, merely friendly banter.

She laughed. "Oh, we do think highly of ourselves tonight, don't we Apollo." Her teasing tone could not be mistaken. She leaned her head back against his arm, very comfortable in her slightly drunken state, and glanced at him.

"So, any plans for the New Year, or will it be work, work, work all the time?"

Apollo grinned at her in reply, stealing a soft kiss from her temple before leaning back, settling down into the cushions a little more comfortably. He was truly delighted she'd shown up tonight; even more than he, Circe really needed to get out more.

But in answer to her question, his lips twitched as he replied, "Mmm, probably. But once that's done, the sky's the limit." A blink. "Well, figuratively." Then his grin flashed again. "What, thinking of visiting?"

"Now that you mention it, I just might. I do enjoy your company, you know, and it can be very dull sometimes on my island." Something she probably would never have admitted had she not been buzzed.

He didn't have the problem of boredom, thank the Titans. ...one in particular, Apollo amended with a snort. But he could well see her point and gave her shoulder a fond squeeze.

"I'd be honored, my dearest. Delightful company's always welcome, after all."
