Concordia sighed and took her comm unit "Still there Gary? What are you doing love..." She shook her head then grinned. "Don't tell me you're with a girl..." She laughed then sighed
"Okay okay... I will join you after one or two more dances then!"
He gave a slight shrug and a nod, evidently none too phazed. To show his amicable nature he offered the man a joint, before departing for greener pastures.
"Whatever Concordia, whatever." Jean said and chuckled a bit, finishing his glass of water, since bartender refused to give him alcohol. "I wonder if there is somehing to eat..." He looked around, but didn't spot anything to eat.

Aaron accepted the joint gladly, and carefully put it away in one of the few pockets in the Order uniform, moseying about the crowd, looking for conversation or something more fun than what he was doing.
The jukebox clicked on another song after the last one was over, something random, not particularly Christmasy, but still cheery, something like this...
While everything was going on, no one had noticed Aloysius Rhade entering the bar. He'd been sitting quietly drinking some Vodka and observing the situation before making a move. Something he'd made a habit of when he was in the Marine Corps.
He was generally seen as just another Coalition Crew member, until Premier Katz showed off the massive turkey. A round of applause was given to which Aloysius politely nodded his head in acknowledgement. Shortly after, a girl by the name of Concordia arrived and began dancing around, stripping, and eventually ending up on his table, she danced some more before leaning in and kissing him, then running off to go meet other people.
He even noticed little Enrico asking Jeremy for a dance. Only to have Jeremy run away.
Poor Kid, thought Aloysius.
Having observed enough, he stood up and stretched his back, his full height a good two meters, an imposing figure, trained in the jungles of JiangXi. Despite his size, however, he was usually fairly calm and easy going in relaxed situations like these, combat was another thing, but that's irrelevant now.
He looked around the room to try and find anyone he knew, most of the people he used to serve with were dead, or not present. He did, however, noticed Alvarez getting drunk with a bunch of other Hispanics. He approached them and said "Hola, mind if I have a seat?" Just then, one of Aloysius's favorite songs came on the Jukebox.
Crushed, Enrico watched as Jeremy ran out of the bar like his tail was on fire.
Now any reasonable person understood why that happened, and deep down Enrico got it, some people just weren't able to deal of handle certain situations. It was all right, even though it hurt Enrico's feelings a little.
"Eh, Che?" he asked the young woman. "Ragazzo there is nice... tell him I understand, si? I no mind... I go now..." He seemed a bit awkward, a little embarrassed as he beat a swift retreat to where Vance was standing by the bar.
He leaned on the old wood, wrapping his hands around a margarita the bartender had already prepared for him having seen the... rejection.
Enrico turned to his buddy, "why do guys always run away?" he asked with a long sigh. "Maybe the Order isn't as... accepting as the Coalition is?"
"Beats the hell out of me, bro. People are always sayin' that the Coalition is rampant like that... I think it's just that we're more... Accepting. That's just m' theory anyway." Vance said, his gaze wandering around the room, searching for the source of the music.
"I guess you're right, ese." Enrico replied.
"Hey, look, boss. Don't worry about Jeremy. I bet he doesn't even roll like us. It's all good though. Just enjoy the party." Vance said, gesturing around to the festivities occurring. "There's so much more than just that guy, mate." Vance finished his sentence, before nudging Enrico off into the crowd with a smile.
Ricardo Alvarez looked up from his drink, where he and the other senior members of the Hispanic community were talking in furious Spanish... they fell silent all turning to look at Colonel Rhade.
Representative Ares, leader of the Hispanic community, Politburo member and the former Commandante of the Fighter Corps before his resignation in the wake of the JiangXi disaster, affixed Rhade with a firm glare.
"How is your Spanish?" he asked with a smile.
Alvarez lit a cigar, "screw his Spanish, ese," he looked up at Rhade, "How is your Tequila tolerance, holmes?"
The men all laughed and pushed out a stool for Rhade to join them.
Rhade sat down on the stool that was pushed down on him. "Tequila? Can't get enough." He smiled and began conversing with the men in fluent Spanish while drinking Tequila.
Ellie walked to Enrico.
"Please don't take it the wrong way. Its just Jeremy is married, and now she is missing. If he.had not gotten news, he'd probably be still standing there, shocked as hell.'
Ellie ordered a vodka. "Please forgive him. He really loves her, or else he'd have sent.someone else."
Ellie hoped he didnt feel so bad snymore as she downed the vodka as the song Horse with No Name played.
