[Crowley chuckles softly, clinking his glass against Felix's ]

No more morose bullshit then. Let's be shallow and critique other people's outfit choices, you always do so enjoy that.

[lord_wizard]

[Felix smiled sharply as he watched the crowds of people move about on the dancefloor, a confusing but mesmerizing swirl of colors and styles.]

Starting with the fact that most of the men from the fleet have apparently never heard of any colors besides black and white? [A pointed but playful side glance at Crowley in his tux]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley sends Felix a rueful smirk in return for that jab. ]

Maybe they just happen to have an exquisite sense of style missed by many? Maybe that's why.

[lord_wizard]

My many you mean me? I just happen to think it's a masquerade, and you should employ a little bit of imagination.

[Says the man wearing a suit in exactly the same style he's been wearing for a decade]

[onlyanapple]

[The smirk just grows, holding a certain tone of smugness to it. ]

I'm a demon, technically I don't have imagination.

[lord_wizard]

So you keep saying. [He has reasons to believe otherwise]

But I wasn't just talking about you. [He does, however, turn to face Crowley more directly] Though, on that subject, it does give me motivation to get this off of you later.

[He taps the brim of the demon's tophat with a finger. Felix personally does not do hats. Nothing ever touches his hair beyond maybe a bit of ribbon]

[onlyanapple]

Fair enough point, I suppose.

[That, at least, gets a wide smirk. ]

Well, well, I'm always happy to motivate you in that direction.

[lord_wizard]

In your case, I hardly require much effort in that regard.

[Hopefully that's a compliment]

[onlyanapple]

Always nice to hear, Felix.

[He will absolutely take that as a compliment. ]

And as seen as you like your outfit so much, I promise not to vanish this one away.

[lord_wizard]

Good. I spent far too much of my money on it to see it go to waste.

[He takes a sip of his wine, giving Crowley a last sly smirk before he turns the subject to less suggestive topics]

So how many people have tried to get you to dance so far?

[onlyanapple]

I couldn't do such a terrible, awful thing to you then. It'd break my poor unbeating heart.

[That gets a low chuckle out of him. It's always a risk, coming to a party, that people will expect you to dance. Especially if you happen to look like you belong there, smoozing about the place and suchlike. ]

Far too many. They've all been tragically disappointed with the answer too. Poor buggers.

[lord_wizard]

I've been disappointed for years. At least I can profit from the misery of others.

[onlyanapple]

Of course you can. You watch watch them with a sense of smug satisfaction as they walk away, head low and dejected.

Maybe play them a little tiny violin in your head for them.

[lord_wizard]

I'm not sure what the size of the violin has to do with anything.

[onlyanapple]

It's a manner of speech. The violin is tiny because it mirrors hw much of a shit you actually give. Ie: very little.
