The Best Night Ever (Private with The_Pariah)

"Um... sure." Ician replied. "Why not?"

---

"Lemonade, I suppose." Silver said.

She giggled and purred. "What can I do for you Master~?"

---

"Alrighty, I'll be right back." PLatinum said before skipping off.

"Um... just hang around, I guess." Ician looked around. "There isn't much to do at the Gala other than socialise and listen to the music."

---

Silver sat and waited for Platinum to return.

Ruby giggled and sat down next to him. Divine giggled and trotted over, kissing her gently.

---

Platinum glanced over, pouring the second glass.

Eventually, the orchestra finishes the song. Harmony spares a brief glance towards both Platinum and Silver, a questioning gaze in her eyes, as she prepares the next song.

---

Ician watches the orchestra, waiting for them to begin the next song.

---

Silver waves at Platinum, smiling.

Platinum waved back, holding up the glasses for Harmony to see before she started walking back.

---

Ruby kissed back, before she and Divine relaxed next to Ician.

Harmony shrugged. In unison, the orchestra launched into the next song.

---

Ician appreciated the music quietly, smiling. "Looks like Harmony managed to do it after all."

"Of course she did. She is an amazing mare after all." Divine said quietly.

---

Platinum blew her a kiss before she started, before walking back over to Silver.

"Yeah... yeah, I guess she is." ician watched the stage.

---

"Thanks." Silver accepted the glass and took a sip. "Ah, that's better."

"Not as amazing as us though?"

---

"No problems Silver." She sipped her own drink.

"Not even close." Ician smiled at Divine and Ruby. "Not even close."

---

"Mm." Silver drained her glass. "Oh, that was pretty good. Being sick makes me thirstier than I remember."

"Heh," Platinum chuckled as she sipped her own.

---

"Good~" Divine purred. "When do I start work again?"

"The day after tomorrow, I think." Ician replied. "Both you and Ruby. But tomorrow's your orientation with the Judicial Council."

---

Silver sat silently and listened to the music.

"I see... I wonder how'll they'll react when I refuse their bribes..." Divine muttered.

---

Platinum sat next to her, listening.

"We'll see." Ician muttered. "As it is, the Captain still doesn't know that the negotiations are going to release Theria to Hive jurisdiction. I doubt he'll be pleased."

---

Silver smiled as the music played on.

"He can get over it. They're our allies now."

---

Platinum yawned happily, and glanced at Silver.

"Not quite yet." Ician glanced over at the changeling diplomat, who at least seemed to be having a good time. "Pending successful negotiations."

---

Silver didn't notice Platinum staring at her, she was too absorbed in the music.

"Close enough." She purred, kissing his cheek.

---

Platinum smiled softly, turning back to Harmony.

"I guess." Ician said doubtfully. "I'd settle for closer, though."

---

Harmony smiled at him on stage as she continued playing in tandem with the others.

Divine giggled and leant against him.

---

Platinum mouthed 'Love you'

"Not exactly what I meant..." Ician smiled. "But I'll take it."

---

'Love you too' Harmony mouthed back, before she returned her attention fully to her music.

"Hey umm... Ician..." She muttered.

---

Platinum relaxed, eyes sliding closed as she listened.

"Hm?" Ician asked.

---

Silver also listened quietly, a smile on her face.

"M- My heat... starts soon. Just warning you sweetie."

---

Platinum swayed gently, wincing once or twice.

"Ah. Of course." Ician nodded. "It wouldn't be very gentlecoltly of me to deny you your urges, would it?"

---

Silver noticed him wincing. "What's wrong?"
