"You are in the hands of the master, young grasshopper. You needn't worry. Just don't jump into anything your not comfortable with. It's about having fun, so just ease your way in." She indicated to herself dramatically. "Do you think I became a party-monger overnight? Getting this flamboyant takes practice."

"Uh-huh." Gabe said with a light chuckle. "But something tells me you weren't the socially awkward type to begin with." Not that he would call himself socially awkward, he just never really felt the need to talk to people when he didn't have to. He liked keeping to himself, he was amazed that he had agreed to do this with Fei in the first place.

"Not with my Daddy, that's for sure." The Tora giggled. "He was an even bigger party animal than I am. Papa's kind of on the shy side, though, so I guess I don't take after him much."

Gabe nodded a little at that. "So I see." he said, somewhat absentmindedly. He couldn't remember if he'd heard her mention her Daddy and Papa before, but it's not like it mattered anyway. He was about to say something else when the cab stopped at their destination. He looked out the window. "…We're here then?" he asked as he turned back to Fei for confirmation.

"Yup!" Fei popped the "p" as she pulled out cash to cover the fare. She hands the driver the money and proceeded to open the cab door. Before climbing out she glanced over at Gabe, a eager-looking grin on her face. "You ready to party?" She didn't wait for an answer, instead hopping out into the street. Ready or not, Gabe wasn't going anywhere.

Gabe took a deep breath before stepping out of the cab. If he wasn't nervous before, he certainly was now. There was going to be a lot of people and he wasn't gonna know what to DO every with Fei there and he was probably gonna end up standing in the corner awkwardly somewhere and…
He paused and shook his head, what the hell was he doing? It couldn't be THAT bad he didn't think. He tried his best block out the negative thoughts as he caught up to Fei. "No turning back now I guess." he mumbled.

Fei gave her companion a hardy whack on the shoulder. "That's the spirit!" she chimed, looking up at the building. She turned back towards Gabe, still smiling. "Let's go!" Her hand shot out and grabbed his, and began to tow him up the front steps.

Gabe didn't realize how tight he had held onto Fei's hand as he followed the rainbow haired teen up the steps and into the building. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, but once the door was opened and his ears were assaulted by music he started to have a little better of an idea. Now he just had to follow Fei's lead, he had no clue what to do.

Fei was forced to release the Kuma's hand as she was assaulted with a number of cheery greetings and welcome hugs. She made sure to formally introduce Gabe to the few people nearby but, to be honest, she'd rather get straight to the heart of the party. However, she didn't want to seem rude. If she did she would never get invited to these sorts of things. Then again, Artemis did seem to keep showing up at parties, and that attitude of hers never changed...

Gabe stood near Fei as she left go of his hand, but made sure to give her space with whoever was trying to talk to her. It shouldn't have surprised him that so many people would want to see her, but he couldn't help but he a little annoyed by it. She was here with him after all(or was it the other way around?) He kept the hint of jealousy well hidden as he gave small smiles to the ones Fei introduced him to, he had to at least try right?

Just as Fei thought she could get back to talking to Gabe, a few boys from her class made their way over and asked if she wanted to dance with them. It was unclear as to whether they had simply not noticed the rainbow-haired Tora's companion, or if they were just ignoring him. Regardless, it was clear that they were vying for the girl's attention. Fei, however, remained completely unphased. She told them she was busy and sent them on their way, but not without a few amorous smiles and a flirtatious wink. What could she say? It was habit.

Gabe knew that lot of people here would know Fei. He understood that she would talk to said people. He tolerated guys walking up to her and not paying any attention to him standing with her, but when he looked back at her and saw the small hints of flirting she was giving off that was where he had to do something.
Without much thought at all the taller teen had put an arm around Fei's shoulders, looking the opposite direction of her with a small scowl on his face. "So, uh, what do we do first?" He spoke quickly. "I'm up for anything."

Caught off guard by the gesture, Fei felt her smile temporarily vanish. She glanced over at Gabe, blinking in confusion, but was unable to make out his expression with his face turned. His voice, however, sounded less than cheerful. The Tora felt a flicker of concern, but it was gone almost as quickly as it had come.
"Well normally I like to start by getting, shall we say, a little less than sober. But we'll skip that step for now. I might lose ya if I'm drunk." She patted the hand that was curled around her shoulder comfortingly. "So we can move on ahead to dancing, talking," she motioned to some stray groups of people scattered across the apartment's couches, "or.... other choice activities." She puncutated the last option with a suggestive wiggle of her eyebrows. There was serious doubt in her mind that Gabe would want to partake in any of those. Getting him to flirt with her already took some effort. "Or we can get creative. Sky's the limit."

The scowl on the young man's face seem to fade at the tone of Fei's voice at the last part. Good, she was focusing on him again, now he just had to keep her attention. "Dancing." He decided, turning his head back to look down at her now that his didn't look so mad anymore. Talking to other people wasn't really something we wanted to right right then after what had just happened, and like hell he was going with the "other choice activities", so dancing won.
Gabe gave her a grin and moved his arm down to hold her hand instead, he felt a little safer now with the other threats gone. "Dancing sounds like a good idea right now."

"I couldn't agree more." Fei adjusted her grip around Gabe's hand as she spoke. "To the dance floor!" And with that she yanked him forward.
There was a decent sized area that had been cleared specifically for dancing. The music and lights were both loud and fast-paced, much to the Tora's pleasure. The wilder the better, in her opinion.
"I'm assuming you don't dance all too much," Fei called over the blaring beat of the music. "Just move with the music! There's no wrong way to dance."
