[It's a nice party, it really is. But sometimes, this many people can get to be too much.

Josuke himself is fine, but he knows Dan Heng is very much an introvert. Which is why, after a while of having been here, Josuke's kept an eye out for openings to just slip out unnoticed. Not for terribly long, mind! But Dan Heng could probably use the break from people and, admittedly, Josuke himself could use the fresh air.

The moment eyes are largely off the two of them, Josuke nudges the other briefly, then gestures to a quiet balcony with his head.]

[Josuke get his attention and Dan Heng wastes no time in making a break for the balcony. He doesn't run, but he isn't being terribly subtle about it right now, either.

Once outside, he lets out a sigh.]

Thank you.

From:

onahairtrigger

[Yeah, Josuke's wasting no time getting out there either.

He brushes a bit of snow off the railing of the balcony before leaning against it.]

No prob. Figured you'd need the quiet and I wanted some fresh air anyway.

From:

moonsip

Lyney is a very nice host. He just knows far too many people.

[And Dan Heng rather shamelessly goes to lean against Josuke. He's tired, he's allowed.]

From:

onahairtrigger

[He's allowed! Josuke does reach out to wrap an arm around Dan Heng's shoulders. It is rather cold out here after all-

(Also he just wanted to, but the cold makes a fantastic excuse.)]

You can say that again... I appreciated the invite, but this is definitely more people than I expected.

From:

moonsip

I expected Caelus and Stelle to be...themselves, but I forgot how much more exhausting they are together.

[He presses closer.]

From:

onahairtrigger

Listen, at this point, I'm just glad they both got distracted in different directions.

From:

moonsip

Hopefully those directions won't converge.

[He sighs.]

I love them, but.

From:

onahairtrigger

Stelle's currently being March's minder, at least. ... Or her wingman, I didn't catch much before I realized I didn't want to listen in on that conversation.

[Ah, sapphics.]

Yeah, I get you.

From:

moonsip

Ah, yes. Miss Rika is here.

[Ah, sapphics.]

At least Caelus is mostly just interested in the food right now...

From:

onahairtrigger

Pretty sure I saw Takahata over that way, so he'll probably be fine.

From:

moonsip

Remind me to send Shio some tea, later.

[He sighs, resting his head on Josuke's shoulder.]

From:

onahairtrigger

Heh, will do.

[For now, though, this is nice. He lifts his free hand to comb his fingers through Dan Heng's hair a bit.]

... Cold aside, it's nice out here tonight.

From:

moonsip

Mm. The moon, especially.

[Sir.]

From:

onahairtrigger

[Sir. Josuke just chuckles a bit, before reaching into his bag and pulling out a small package.]

Got something for you, by the way.

From:

moonsip

[Dan Heng pulls back to look at Josuke, and then at the gift.]

You did? Funny, I got you something as well. Let me go get it?

[His bag is in the coat room.]

From:

onahairtrigger

Yeah, alright.

[He'll let his arm drop so Dan Heng can go grab the gift.]

From:

moonsip

[And off he goes. He comes back quickly enough, handing over a small wrapped package.

It's a book detailing various historical methods of clothing making and a gift card to Josuke's favorite fabric store.]

From:

onahairtrigger

[And Josuke's gift to Dan Heng is... jewelry. Specifically, a moonstone pendant and an ear cuff that go well with a couple of the outfits Josuke's made for Dan Heng. There's also a gift card to a bookstore.

Josuke grins a bit at his gift and pulls Dan Heng close in a one-armed hug.]

I love it. Thank you.
