"Oh, yes! How could I forget?" she replies in mock seriousness. Clary tries to catch her attention suddenly, rushing over.
"Please, please, please? It's so beautiful, you have to at least try!" she pleads..
"Clary. Look at the moon." SH epoints at the thin cresent in the sky. "There is no way I have enough light to do a half-way decent shadow show right now." Clary pouts. Aka stands strong for a few seconds and then her resolve crumbles. "Fine! But no promises!"
"Yea! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Aka turns to Tall, rolls her eyes and rises again. Everyone clears to the edges of the dancefloor as Aka approaches the center. She slowly gathers shadows and creates a dome encompassing the area. The shadows are shifting, creating small holes which light would sift through if there was enough of it.
The problem is, there isn't. And Tall would be able to tell that Aka is mentally kicking herself for agreeing to try, and even moreso for not being able to do it after promising to try. Clary looks anxious, but highly dissappointed when nothing happens. There are a few sighs from the others, but Aka keeps the shadows up in hope of ctaching at least a little bit of light.
(And.... cue the lights....))

Tall looks saddened, more so at the fact that Aka is trying to hard without succeeding. And he wouldn't want his dear friend to be subject to ridicule. Without even thinking he stands up and edges himself quietly over.
suddenly, the room is filled with light--light enough to contrast the shadows. And of course, the light is emenating from Tallak, Aka's strange visitor. Of course, when all eyes fall on him, he somehow doubts this was a good idea.....
he grins sheepshily.

AKa's eyes widen, and she stares at him incredulously for a second, her shadow's mingling with the light. Then she drops the dome, allowing the light to escape. Every eye in the area is on Tall. There is deadening silence for seconds that seem like millenia. Even Aka is unsure of what their reaction will be. Finally, one voice speaks up over the rest...
"HA! I told you he must be a God! PAY UP!" Then there is a rush of voices, several disputing the man's claim, trying to win the bet for themselves, some approaching Aka and Tall, asking a million questions at once. After a few seconds of din, Aka tries to get everyone to quiet down.
"Please, everyone, this isn't.... If you'd all just.... I can...." Finally, she gets frustrated and shouts, "SILENCE!!!!!" There is a tremor across the ground and everyone is immediately quiet. "Thank you. EVerone, your questions will be answered eventually. But tonight is not about me or my companion. It is about celecrating Clary and Orion, and I suggest we return to that now. Thank you." SHe pulls Tall back over to the bench and tugs him down.
Everyone is silent for a few seconds, but then the party slowly starts back up.

Tall remains silent, obviously ashamed. He casts his eyes downwards--what on earth had he been thinking? why the hell did he just do that. He hadn't meant to cause such a commotion.
Perhaps the chap had forgotten he wasn't in a dream, perhaps in the excitement of it all he just imagined that would be excepted. he clearly made a stupid and foolish mistake. He hasn't the heart to say anything, as if he is not worthy of even the chance to defend himself or apologize.

Aka stares at him in silence for a few seconds. She opens her mouth, thinks better of it, and closes it again. SHe looks off to the side, trying to think of what she should say. Finally, she turns back to him and says, "I don't know whether to hit you or hug you."

He looks over, a faint smile, "that sounds reminiscent of James and the Giant Peach....in either case...I'm sorry--I really am a git..." he hangs his head again.

She grabs his chin and pulls his head up to meet his eyes. "That was incredibly stupid. If we were in the Light-Bringer palace...." SHe trails off, then switches thought. "But it was also incredibly sweet. Thank you." SHe kisses him on the cheek and then drops his chin. "Don't do it again."

He looks at her incredioulously as she pulled up his chin--as if not knowing what to expect. He was even more shocked/surprised when she leaned in, and blinked almost uncomprehendingly. Only moments after said action did he finally blink and turn his head away for a second, "Oh...well...no, problem...eh...and I won't..."
From the angle, she'd only see one of his ears, but she'd notice it turned red, like last night. Poor Tall, he really is such a girl. After a second he finally turns back around, a casual smile, and half-laugh, "Well, I do recall you made me a dance promise? Unless you want me to revert back to calling you...you know what..." he says, placing a 'dark' emphasize on the words.

"You wouldn't dare..." she hisses with a glare. SHe looks up at the Legions performing. They're doing a rather fast paced song, so she nods. "All right. One dance." SHe rises and pulls him out onto the dance floor. She finds an empty spot and about a measure passes before the song slows. She turns and shoots a glare at the Legions, who snicker and point.
She turns back to Tall. "SLow dance it is, I guess." She places one hand on his shoulder and holds the other out.

He laughs, "It looks like they're playing tricks on you again," he takes her hand. He's about to start leading when suddenly a thought *visibly* comes to mind, "Are there any particular dances on this world that they're going to begin questioning me again if I don't dance in their particular manner?"

She shakes her head. "Look around." All of the other couples on the dancefloor are far to interested in each other to care what they do.

he looks at them, "...what is it with me today and not thinking before i speak or cast crazy light magic?" he shakes his head with minor disappointment in himself. He then looks back up at her and smiles, leading her in a dance.

AKa begins humming along with the melody that the Legions are playing. She mutters, more to herself than him, "I really have got to stop letting them listen to my CDs..."

"but they play so nicely---rather I think you should record them and sell them to some record company."

She scoffs. "Yeah, if they weren't all already copyrighted, that is. They are very good mimics, nothing more." She sighs. "It's a great song anyways, though..."
