The party was, in all ways, boring. The music was mediocre, the entertainment nonexistent, and the conversation neither stimulating nor idiotic enough to be entertaining. The location had clearly been chosen by an amateur. The rooftop terrace had some merits -- it was wide and open, but it had been tackily decorated and the night wind brought a constant chill over the party.
It was the birthday party of Redo Lous, and both Sebastian and Bellinda had been invited, as Lous was a Sith Aristocrat. It would have been impolite to come, but as Sebastian looked around he realized that there was not one whose opinion he cared about. He leaned further back in his chair, not hiding his disdain, as the wind picked up again.

"This party is rather dull." Bellinda remarked, fingers smoothing out the thick heavy silk of her gown. It was epicanthix in style, with high collar and vivid embroidered scenes. She loved the texture of it. The way the smooth, slippery silk was interrupted by the detailed stitches. As her fingers ran across its length they told the story of the dress. A story of curling waves and bright flowers, a sun rising over water to reveal the beauty of the landscape it detailed. Bellinda smiled, fingering the waves absently as they lounged on the roof.
An impulse, so sudden and striking appeared and for once she decided to see it through.
"Sebastian, is this dress pretty?" She asked, tucking a loose lock of hair behind her tiny pale ear. Of course, Bellinda didn't care much for appearances or whether or not she was dressed well... Her curiosity was more on if the dress looked as luxurious as it felt, though she expected an unsatisfactory response, as was his way. Perhaps he'd make a dig at her weight, despite the 15lbs she had gained since living under his roof, that would be amusing.

Sebastian turned to look at Bellinda, sitting in the seat next to him. He considered her question, examining the embroidery. His fingers brushed the cherry blossoms that bloomed at her shoulder, following their stem across her chest, past her hips, and along the side of her thigh. "Ethyan silk, hand embroidered, appropriate cut. Rich colors. It's beautiful."

She accepted the feedback with a steadily growing smile, small at first but growing, blooming across her ruby lips. "Excellent. Good to know the little Epicanthix woman didn't sell me something garish and tacky."
Thin fingers wrapped about the stem of her wine glass that sat on the small octagonal table before them. With a flourish she brought the sweet, dark liquid and drank a refreshing sip before sighing deeply.
"Can we leave? I'm going to fall asleep or freeze to death."

"Tempting. Alas, that would be socially unacceptable." He looked out on the droll crowd, then with the light of an idea turned back to Bellinda. "Would you like to play a game?"

"Terribly uncouth. Leaving a birthday party before they've even brought out the cake." She said, twisting to a more comfortable angle in her chair, the fabric of her dress wrinkling against with the motion. Another sip of the sweet summer wine as she regarded the business man before her. She had wondered faintly, just after she deposited herself in permanently in his Corellian estate if he'd grow tired of her, bored of his little toy when having unrestricted access.
But it hadn't turned out that way. They could go days at a time in the mansion without crossing paths, individuals in the same space, yet so very separate. Another woman might have felt threatened but she enjoyed the freedom.
"A game?" She echoed. "What sort of game?"

Sebastian grinned. "Well, there are several options..." He suddenly chuckled to himself. "Bellinda, have you ever played truth or dare?"
He tried to imagine a Jedi slumber party, the thought was truly wonderful. Little baby Jedi, back when the sticks up their asses were only twigs. Such polite pillow fights.

"Personally? No." She said, cocking an eyebrow at her companion. "I've listened to enough holos to get the jist of the game though." Bellinda waved her hand non-nonchalant before setting the long stemmed glass down, gently crossing her legs at the knee.
"Now, pray-tell Sebastian, is this another one of your attempts to make me do something humiliating for your amusement? Because I assure you, it will not work." A flick of shiny, straight hair over her shoulder punctuated the comment.
"Not without a couple more glasses of wine."

"Well that's the idea." Bellinda knew him well. He wondered just how far that understanding extended. At the very least, she knew of his games, and not only that, she enjoyed them. For as straight-laced as Bellinda liked to consider herself...
"Truth or dare?"

"Truth" She answered almost immediately, shifting in her seat as she felt Sebastian's eyes work their way over her form, regarding her again. She could not see the mischief that glittered in the brown of his irises, but Bellinda could feel their gaze.

Sebastian vacillated between actually taking advantage of the casually offered promise of truth, or being charming. Well, really, he was always charming. Even so. There were still so many things he wanted to know about Bellinda, but they were likely questions to which even she didn't have an answer. It was an impossible task, and so irresistibly addicting.
"What do you hate most about me?"

Bellinda wasn't sure what to expect from her answer of truth, she suspected he'd assume it was a cop out, her avoiding the inevitable shenangians that came with playing along with one of Sebastian Monroe's games. His question though was interesting, something hard for her to answer.
"That you can't love me." She answered, her words negative, perhaps sad in a way but her tone was simple, accepting even. "Truth or dare?"

Sebastian reached over and tucked her hair behind her ear. Her blindfold matched her dress, not only in style but in quality. She'd most likely commissioned it, putting her company account to good use. He approved.
"Dare," he said, challenge in his voice.

She grinned as his finger's gently brushed her ear, apparently satisified with her answer before accepting a dare.
Bellinda regarded the auras of the people around her. The vague fuzzy outlines of people she didn't care for or need to know. There was not networking here, no connections to make, not a single soul actually interesting or requiring her or her companion to be responsible or even normal, at least as normal as bad guys were. There was a sort of freedom in it all.
With a smile spread across her gaunt face the woman tilted her head towards a particularly garish dressed aristocrat. A man of near human origins with a trophy wife on his hip, thats aura moved as slow and irregular as the jiggling jowls of his cheeks.
"Him. I dare you to attempt to seduce him using only three lines." The woman grinned all the wider.

Sebastian laughed deeply. "Bellinda, you are... delightful." Then he set down his wine and stood, and strode confidently toward the rest of the party.
He came up behind the man and put his hand on his shoulder, coming around to face the man and his startled expression. "I saw the way you were eyeing me earlier," Sebastian said cooly, "And I just want you to know," he leaned toward the man, speaking in his ear, "I don't mind."
He could feel the man tense under his hand as his expression grew flustered. He then turned to the man's wife, and said quite politely, "Good evening, ma'am, your dress is fantastic," and left their stunned silence behind as he returned to Bellinda. The man wiped his hands on his pants, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Sebastian returned casually to his chair. "Does that suffice?"

Bellinda watched from her little seat, grin growing wider as she began the giggle openly. What started a mere chuckled grew into all out deep, full body shaking hysterics. She clutched her sides as she laughed, watching from her little space the interaction between the noble and her darling lover.
Within moments Sebastian was back at her side and still laughed and laughed, attracting stares from various party goers as Sebastian asked his question.
"Oh yes, that was excellent!" Bellinda finally gasped, a chuckled following it. "Fantastic. Bravo." She clapped, voice filled with childlike glee.
"Dare, definitely dare." She answered preemptively.

Sebastian rested his elbows on his knees and regarded Bellinda. Several different ideas trickled through his mind, each amusing in its own right, but he finally settled on the one that promised to make the night even more entertaining, and the boredom of the party finally worthwhile.
"I dare you... to become irresponsibly, irrationally, irrevocably drunk."

Another red eyebrow cocked she smiled, finally stifling the giggles as her composure returned.
"Accepted." Taking the ornate wine glass in hand the petite Sith woman gulped the remaining crimson liquid, relishing in the taste before handing the empty goblet to Sebastian with a refreshed sigh.
"And I dare you to do the same."

"Hey, that's cheating," Sebastian complained. "But I suppose I can let you get away with it." He kissed her forehead as he took her glass and stood. The bar was fortunately -- and intentionally -- only a few yards away.
The bartender, a middle-aged togrutan woman, saw him approach. "Can I help you?"
Sebastian stepped around the bar and grabbed a bottle of vodka and a bottle of soda water, then looked up at the affronted woman. He couldn't understand why so many men found headtails so attractive. They could be ignored, for other merits, but in and of themselves they were in no way attractive to Sebastian. "You just did," he replied, and though the woman rolled her eyes and gave him a look, she let him leave and return to Bellinda.
He set their glasses on the table and poured a splash of vodka into one, and nearly filled the other. Both were evened out to the same level by soda water. Sebastian gave the former to Bellinda, saying "For you, dear," and took a long drink from the latter. Another gust of wind ruffled Bellinda's hair as Sebastian grinned.

"So little?" She asked taking the glass with a pout. "I am most insulted, sir. You wanted irresponsibly drunk, I was hoping you meant sometime this century." Bellinda said before scooping up the glass in hand and taking an experimental sip. The vodka was expensive, smooth going down, as though she were drinking nothing but carbonated water, a most likely specially noted detail of Sebastian's plan. Not quite satisfied with simply a taste in light of this dare she took a great gulp,downing half the glass with gusto.
"Truth." She answered again, not bothering to wait for the question to be asked.
