vatheon | [GV] - 6

Golden Victory isn't about to go two months without a proper change in decor! Their fearless leader hasn't seemed to be in the best of spirits (falling into a coma can do that to a guy), so things aren't quite as extravagant as normal. Instead of playful, things seem a bit more ambient - warm golden lights, rich red tablecloths, holly, garland, maybe even a sprig of mistletoe here and there for the mischievous heart that may wander. And... well, it's a bit of a mystery how they managed to get it through the front door, but there's a well-lit tree taking up one corner of the main floor.

Per usual the rules and employee roster are posted near the door. It seems a bit quieter around here than usual.

Hosts:
Angelo
Asbel Lhant
Duke Pantarei
Fai D. Flourite (assistant chef and appointments)
Guy Cecil (bartender)
Ioder
Jade Curtiss (bartender)
Malik Caesar (bartender)
Peony Malkuth IX
Rin Okumura (chef)
Serph
Sora and Roxas
Zelos Wilder (Only takes appointments with women.)
Please note that some hosts may be unavailable due to coma.

The staff are free to their normal wardrobes this month... well, for the most part. Red, white, green and gold seem to be all over the place, encouraging to fit in with the Christmas spirit. There may even be some fur or a little more ~*sparkle*~ than the hosts might be used to. A certain emperor may have taken the liberty of making sure there's at least one spectacular outfit front and center for them to wear.

[ Sora nodded. ]

I don't think I've seen him around.

It's not really his thing.

That's too bad. He might have fun.

So long as he didn't have to talk to too many people, maybe.

Haha, yeah I guess you have a point.

I think he'd rather just hang out.

You can always come over if you wanna see him.

You sure he'd want to hang out with me?

[ Despite what Axel had said at Roxas's party, his real best friend was here. ]

...why wouldn't he?

Well...[ Sora rubbed the back of his head. ]

What if he thinks the same way Riku does? That it's my fault you're not separate back home?

[ Though it was unlikely and if either heard him they might just throttle Sora for saying stupid things. ]

[Roxas frowns, but more in confusion than at Riku's mention.]

We don't talk about it, but- I'm pretty sure he blames DiZ. I don't think he'd've helped you if he blamed you for it.

Yeah, but...I mean it was helping you too in a way wasn't it? If I died then what would have happened to you?

[Roxas opens his mouth. Closes it.]

...

I never thought of it like that.

[ And really Sora just thought of it. ]

...

[ He looks down at his feet for a moment before drawing up into a ball on the couch they're sitting on. ]

Maybe I'm just thinking too much.

Yeah, probably.

[He glances over at Sora, thinking a moment, and then glances away.]

Axel likes you just fine. Me and him, we didn't exactly part on good terms back home. So- him saving you, even if I was there-- I think it means something.
