His attention was focused on Alida and himself for the moment, so he was fairly unaware of the quick glances they had been gathering. His obliviousness was abruptly ended though as he felt a tug at his waistband. His hand darted down to his waist to keep the garment from not only falling down, but from falling apart entirely as it was fashioned from plants and other natural material.<span style="color: #008000"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Mia!! Don't!"</span></span>Alida blurted, her hands reaching out to prevent the inevitable... But it wasn't enough.<br/><br/>Izu's garment fell apart and the young man was left exposed, though truth be told he blended in more now than before. The young man let out an angry huff as Alida began to separate them, Izu letting out a slew of curses under his breath.<span style="font-weight: bold">"What's it matter what it <span style="font-style: italic">was</span>?"</span>He put a lot of emphasis on that last bit, since he was obviously still pretty sour that he was exposed quicker than what he wanted to be. The young man didn't actually give the girl a chance to respond, and likely never intended to in the first place.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Mia, right? You didn't come over here to get a better look at me, so you obviously have something pretty damn important to tell us, right?"</span></span>Izu had sort of trailed off into some sort of grumble towards the end, the group getting separated by the festivities that was circling the massive fire.<br/><br/>Izu, still being very new to this enhanced version of his and Alida's connection, had been sending his emotions and pretty much everything else towards her at full force for a little while now. Luckily, he could still see his mate and seemed to be getting hold of himself rather quickly as he tried to make his way back towards her. The young man weaved in and out of the rotating crowd, dodging a few wooden instruments here and there before colliding with Hest.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #400000">"Oh my, look at you Mr. Man! Decided to come out and grace us with what-you-got, huh?"</span></span>The creature was quick on his feet, his makeup fully applied and dancing with a very content smile on his lips. Hest was obviously quite high on something at the moment, and ended up vanishing just as quickly as he had bumped into Izu. He looked around quickly, even spinning in circles a few times to see if he somehow was dancing around him or something, because that would have been a very Hest thing to do. But he wasn't there, and Izu had now lost sight of his mate and the stupid creature.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Awesome. Naked and lost, haven't had this nightmare in a while..."</span></span>
