Minnow laughs out loud. She tilts her head to the side and sways her hips around, one hand on them, the other hovering in the air.
"It's the fast man as catches the sunrise, hero."
She shakes her head and blows a kiss towards Tah, and then she laughs and gives Jared a mocking glance.
"It does not wait for him."
She hops, skips and dances over to Violar.
[Elven] "Oyee, I suppose we're off after all, us two."
She rolls her eyes and without looking back at Jared she speaks the rest in Common.
"The Human isn't interested."

Taur watches the events with some amusement. Well, it seems Jared had lost his woman for the night.
Shrugging, the giant of a man steps forward, his arms falling to his side.
"I am. Not waste your time."
He smiles at Jared, happy for the challenge. His blood boiled with it, surged with the energy. The perfect way to go into any match.
"You not waste mine?"
Though his grasp on the language was not the greatest, he was sure he didn't need to say much more. If she didn't understand, she might not be worth his time anyways.

The Minnow turns to Tah, looks him up and down (mostly up), and a grin spreads over her face.
"I'm all yours."
She folds her arm around his, nods at Violar and gives him a small wave- ready to set off.

Now all he had to do was find a place, be it a room or stable. He didn't care what others thought, but he was fairly sure he would be stopped if they begin in the street, which would be inconvinient.
He took her arm and thought for a moment, then shrugged and started walking.
"First time city. You know place?"

"You're a gladiator, I'm sure there's private places in the Alectis."
She gestures at a street a bit up ahead.
"Else I know a few places, rooms, outside places."

"True."
He turns towards the stables and begins heading to the rooms mentioned before, taking care to avoid Artanis. He could deal with the little man, but he was not interested in that at the time.

Jared lets out a good laugh and swings his arms out in a lighthearted shrug.
"There ya go Tah, one of Old Girl Vyne's finest, I'm sure! Though, my advice, keep away from our chambers... there's a reason I took you out tonight!"
He made a dismissive wave at the couple and walked up to Violar and Pan with a grin.
"Well... look like my babysitting was virtually painless. How about... some..." He eyed Pan up and down. "...drinks?"

Taur stopped and glanced back at Jared, then looked over at the Elf.
"We go your place."

"Sure thing, tribesman."
The Minnow laughs happily, and leads Tah down the street towards the Vyne district. She heads down to the Moreldin Gardens.

"Know many?"
He lets her lead, confident and unafraid of what the city may bring. He thinks for a moment, and decides to clarify.
"Tribesman."

The Minnow laughs.
"I've known a few, but none so handsome."

As they walk in to the Vyne Districs proper there are more and more people on the streets. All of the common races of Farinvor are milling around in this part of the city making merry, mstly with others of their own kind though Humans are still by far the majority. A man with a monkey on his shoulder gives them a toothless grin as he taps along to the pace of a woman happily playing the harmonica.
They soon come on to the Westroia. The main street of Vyne and used to be the one running along the Emdin long years past. Now it runs parallel to it, some blocks away and the wide street is used by numerous Taverns, Restaurants, Shops, Performers, Street Salesmen and so on. It is virtually impossible to travel along it at this time in any other way than by foot. The whole street is alive and cluttered with tables, chairs, stalls, Nightmarkets, little coloured candlelanterns on strings hanging criss-crossed between the warmly coloured houses and their little windows. The crowd is quite big and very loud and merry. Somehow a very mixed group of people seem to be getting along famously and no one seems to give Taur a second glance. There is loud music of several instruments, singe and in group, from many places blending in to one and people dancing and bumping in to them frequently but not really noticing. The crowd is spreading far up the little narrow side alleys that branch off the street. Laughing and shouting and drinking. It is in any sense of the word a Streetparty. A party as if there was no tomorrow. To Minnow it would be a normal evening in Vyne.
The further they go the more people they are until they pass most of the Revelry and the Street narrows a bit and becomes mostly residential with the odd little wooden gate to wine cellars open to those who prefer to muse in the dark by candlelight to the sound of dripping walls.
The change is quite sudden. As the last of the big Taverns is passed the crowds die down as does the noise. There are small groups of people walking along here, a man with a dog dives down a cellar, some groups are heading towards the Party; three Elves and two groups of four and three Humans, and some giggling couples heading in the same direction they are without paying any attention to anything but eachother.
Up ahead they can see and hear another Party along the Westoria. There are any number between three and eight on this street any given night depending on time of year. There are even others up through the blocks of houses, smaller ones on the little hidden squares that can be seen just about as they pass the alleys.
The gardens look dark though many lanterns are there to cast enough light to see the paths. It slopes gently down and runs along the river for quite a bit. Some way back one of the Streetparties has spilled in to the Gardens and people are pushing eachother in to one of the many ponds with happy loud shrieks and splashes.

The Minnows happily dances alongside Tah for all of the walk. She seems to be enjoying herself thoroughly.
Once in the gardens, she goes to look for one of the better spots, a nice quiet one that she found a while ago, near a willow tree.

Minnows little spot is still very much there. The willow tree has grown a fair bit since last time however and offers even better privacy than she remembers on the little patch of sand by the water under oe of the white wooden bridges.
It is nicely sheltered and a bit away from the bustle of the street. It sounds like yet another of the Westoria parties has spilled in to the Gardens a little up ahead but it is some way away and the laughs, song, music and merry noises are a good way in the background.
Some ducks lie dozing just at the water's edge as the come there and wakes up with a start as they approach. They waddle out in the water a bit offended and swim slowly out.

The Minnow looks around the old place and smiles, nodding approvingly. She twirls around on the white sand and comes to a stop again facing Tah.
"This is it."
She looks at him with a defiant sparkle in her eyes and a mischievous smile, her head tilted to the side and her hands on her swaying hips, wordlessly daring him to back up his word.
