Just Her Mood... For Now

Walking back into the party was strange... Raven blinked her eyes at the lights and moving bodies, feeling a little disoriented. In front of her Starfire kept talking and talking about something with a wide smile on her face, turning to Raven every few seconds to make sure she's following along. The Tamaranean gripped her wrist, leading her all the way through the sea of bodies filling every inch of this place, eventually reaching a buffet table.

Once away from the densest part of the crowd, Raven's wrist was finally free, allowing her to reach a hand up and feel the side of her head. "Star... I feel kinda-"

"Oh... I do hope I have helped with the opening of your horizons!" Raven wasn't able to finish her sentence before having a glass shoved into her face. She blinked and moved her head back, before eventually taking the drink. Looking inside it was about what she was expecting... Immediately a potent fruity sweet smell wafted up into her nostrils. Raven scrunched up her nose and jerked her head back, she always hated cocktails, or ****. Always having to keep her powers in check, she had to make sure never to let her emotions get out of control, and with **** inhibiting that ability to stay level-headed she always stayed away from that stuff... Yet after that encounter with Starfire, she was a bit shaken up... Maybe just one drink would actually help calm her nerves...

Later that night with the party still in full swing, Raven tried to remain close to the edges of the building as she had earlier in the night. But with Starfire hanging around, she had **** but to be dragged around the event, putting on a friendly face as they talked with various upper class business entities interested in their group. Despite trying to shake it off, that feeling that struck Raven during the kiss with Starfire remained in her head. It was hard to describe, almost warm, but a bit fuzzy at the same time... Or maybe that was just the ****, at this point it was hard to tell.

"Yeah... It was pretty intense, but we were able to scrape out alright." Soon, Raven found herself caught up in a conversation about one of the Titan's recent battles. Never the one to give out much detail of their work, the thought of hiding anything from the man never came to her. She regaled him in a calm, yet increasingly enthusiastic tone, until finally her eyes lit up at the climax of her story. "After that, we only had seconds to leave before the entire block was vaporized!" Suddenly behind Raven, a black spark of energy exploded, pushing a woman facing away from them forward as she spilled her drink all over herself. The man she was talking to noticed the half demon's eyes glowing white for a split second before fading.

Quickly, everyone turned their attention to the woman on the floor, including Raven and Starfire who both rushed to help her up. "Are you alright miss?" Raven was the first to speak up, seeming much more alert with her people skills as the super-powered teammates helped the woman to her feet. Starfire grinned at the welcome change, reveling in the fact that her little experiment with Raven was working.

"Oh! Let me help you clean that..." Starfire said kindly, taking the woman's hand as she started leading her away. She knew that Raven was starting to open up just as she had hoped, and allowing her to leave with this woman could possibly revert some of the wonderful changes she was seeing. Hopefully allowing her to stay out among the crowd would be good for her.

Raven frowned, glancing around the room at the shocked patrons. Among them were the rest of her teammates. Nightwing stared intensely, though even from here she could tell his gaze was mostly focused on Starfire rather than the actual incident. Not too far from him however, Changeling was looking right at her, his gaze wavering a bit, obviously trying to seem more interested in the small scene around her. Feeling that same warmth in her cheeks, Raven couldn't help but smile, a small chuckle escaping her lips. She had to be honest, seeing him try to sneak glances at her was kinda cute...
