Notes: The party is not all that it's cracked up to be, but at least none of these dolts have proven to be Sento's Tharii...yet. 2/5 of the posts describing how Sento meets his Pair.


When Sento -Vicente Gracianez Valentin de Sole- was presented he cut a dashing figure. He was tall and wiry framed with red eyes and scales that reflected the light like a white raven's wing. It contrasted with his black hair that he kept perfectly trimmed to fall just so in line with his regal nose. Pairing Parties were ostentatious; it wasn't that he particularly minded the idea, it was an excellent way to network, mingle, and vie for position if that was what you felt you needed. He hadn't anticipated that he'd have to rebuff so many Tharii.

He'd had one person claim that they felt a deep bond for 30 minutes straight before he finally scared them off with talk of bleeding walls and other fevered dreams that he'd never actually experienced. His father swooped in at the second one, quiet intensity smothered any bluster of his to-be suitor. Sento hadn't anticipated how irritating the whole affair would become and not because it was obvious to him that his Pair Bond would not come tonight.

As the evening plodded on, Kizier became more desperate to find someone to form a Bond with. Some started to cry, others began getting angry, throwing fits and being otherwise unstable.

Sento just became more irritated.

He was showing one last guest out personally, a young Lady who was sobbing her eyes out and showed no sign of stopping. He patted her on her shoulder and showed her into the public gardens that were attached to his property.

Aww, poor Sento, you have to be nice to your guests. Deal.

Though I totally get his irritation. Being expected to find somebody to pair off with that quickly really sucks.

Oh, poor Sento. It's clear he'd rather be doing anything else.

And now he's jerking everyone around and that is also delicious.
