The Inaugural Harvest Ball

Bramble had been excited about this evening for weeks. Really, she'd told him all about the planning and preparations, and he'd done what he could to grease palms, making sure the right shipments came in on time. Not that she needed to know exactly what he'd done with the traders, but uh... well, only good things. Right, only good things. What good was having a spy for a boyfriend if he wasn't going to quietly go out of his way to make life easier? While Tate had planned to attend alone, it seemed that wouldn't be the case. Erik had secured himself an invitation from one of Bramble's younger sisters-- what the girl saw in his younger brother Tate couldn't know, but more power to her. Wherever Erik went, Morganna was close to follow, so he was in charge of getting everyone where they needed to be. After that? Thank fuck he was off the hook.

"Don't do anything that will make me look like an asshole." Tate hissed quietly at his siblings as they arrived, beginning to unpack Kaiju's saddle bags. A gift for Bramble, his girlfriend-who-he-hasn't-asked-to-be-his-girlfriend-yet. A gift for Bramble, the host, that he handed to Erik. His brother snatched another parcel before Tate could fully inspect it, but the boy had been awfully interested about what he'd been making for Bramble. Finally, the young man lifted a bottle of sake free. Though Artorias wasn't hosting, he was still allowing them into his home, and in his mind it's the polite thing to do. While Tate wouldn't typically so troubled with decorum, he also wants Bramble's dad to like him. With a few things still tucked away for later, the boy sent his companion off to make himself comfortable.

It was hard to deny Tate cleaned up well. Broad and strong, the last of the puppy fat fading away to brawn. Not the tallest, but rugged and well-built, the fading sunlight really bringing out the reds in his coat. Feeling like a million bucks, smelling much less like drugs than usual, and really more put together than she's probably ever seen him, Tate strides to the castle. Bramble was front and center, and he couldn't help but stop for a moment. Damn, he wasn't even sure if he had the words for her. The look on his face said at all as he paused to take her in. Holy fuck.

Erik had, opportunistically, tried to slip past him and into the party. "What did I just say?" Tate gently scruffed his brother, holding him back so they could approach together. Finally approaching the Aegis and their host for the evening, Erik was at least able to present Bramble with the box (filled with exotic fruits) before disappearing. In the same moment, Tate presented the bottle to Artorias. Right, right, formalities. It's only after his younger siblings have made themselves scarce that he shifts to Bramble.

"'s beautiful. Knew it would be." Tate grinned, reaching out to pull her in for a hug that's... maybe more chaste than it would have been if he wasn't acutely aware she was the center of attention. He pressed a small parcel into her possession, a little smile playing on his lips. "Promise me a dance tonight?" A little hopeful glimmer to his orange eyes, tail wagging loosely. It's her party, hopefully she could free herself for a dance, right?
