It was the kind of affair one would have expected of a Cynis... Akane never failed to entertain, especially when there was so much on the line as was the case here. And truth be told, she did enjoy such gatherings, probably even more than she would be willing to admit.<br/><br/>Her mind was still in a pleasure induced haze when she came across the expanding melee. That snapped her out of her reverie as she peered around to try and locate a potential source of the disturbance. Then again, as was usually the case in riotous situations, the original instigators were either long gone, or blended in with the rest of the crowd.<br/><br/>Looking around, she did notice a few pleasant acquaintances, Akane taking out her essence lash and closing in to defend anyone that she deemed worth defending.
