Summer Dance/Gala Event | Evening | Saturday | June 19

As the sun started to set, the lights officially came on at the new community center! The building was now complete, its walls gleaming and solid in the waning light. As people began to arrive, they would notice decorations lining the tiled and bright corridors, leading them towards the large auditorium where the dance was being held.

Once inside the auditorium, there were more decorations. Streamers in the colors of summer hung from the rafters and painted the walls. There were fresh flowers in every corner and on every table, bringing fragrance and festiveness to the room. The lights were low in the auditorium, dimmed to provide both mood and setting to this party in the evening.

There were several long tables stocked full with foods of all kinds and there was even a bar with an expert bartender who'd be happy to serve you. Tips were welcome but not mandatory. Large speakers hung in the corners of the room, installed to provide the latest and greatest sound system to the new building.

Everything was completed, everything was ready so it was time to enjoy yourselves!

"He considers everyone one of his rookies," Rikku said, eyes twinkling. "Adopts them and then growls at anything that even looks funny at them. It's really cute, you know?"

Thus marking what was possibly the first time anyone used cute in conjunction with Reno in Rosalind's hearing.

Ow. Ow. That was her mind shying away from the idea.

"Cute?" she blurted. "Reno?"

A jerk, yes. Physically appealing, yes. But--cute?

"It is," Rikku insisted with a laugh. "He gets all 'NO ONE TOUCH MY ROOKIES OR YOU DIE.' What, you never get to see him like that? He's such a dork."

"He watches us while we work," Rosalind said dubiously. "That's not quite the same thing."

Rikku looked very, very skeptical. "I've seen him with rookies before," she explained. "It's more mama bear than that. Or papa bear. Don't tell him I called him a mom. Or I guess you can tell him. It'd be funny, watching him get grumpy about it."

Rosalind might have realized by now that Reno's girlfriend was insane.

She had, just a bit.

"He follows us around, on jobs, without revealing himself until we get into more trouble than he thinks we can handle. That is not--any sort of papa bear."

Her brain, it hurt.
