Blue Bloods and Boy Toys //open//OXO//

So like, Liam could confront Neo. ANd like, I have a starter planned.

On question tho, So like, what did you mean by a masquerade exactly?

Like, a party, idk what a mascarade is-

(I hope this works)

A short male stood near the wall, his blue-gray eyes scanning the people around, his gaze never lasting for more than a second. He wore darker colored clothes, with long sleeves and a cloak over his shoulders, the fabric loose and flowy to hide the blades he wore underneath. A taller male with the same color hair approached him, the taller male said something, not getting the shorter’s attention he moved directly into his line of sight. “Liam-”
Liam blinked a few times, “Oh- yes?”
“Are you just going to stand here the whole time?”
“I am working”
“No one asked you to work”
“Well I am sure no one would ask to be killed-”
“You are here to enjoy yourself”
“I am here because you made me come here Gainor”
Gainor shook his head and grabbed Liam’s arm, pulling him into the crowd. Liam pulled away from Gainor with a glare. “I wish you would stop”
“And I wish you would dance with someone, I already promised plenty of young women a dance with my brother”
“I am guessing you didn’t tell them which”
“Well… I said that he’s much better with a blade than I”
“And they assume you meant Tayon, not me”
“Eh, doesn't matter, I didn’t specify so, I’m not lying” Gainor smirked, “Just one dance Lee ''.
Liam sighed, “one dance, and you’ll leave me alone?”
Gainor nodded, “yes fine,” He pushed Liam in front of him into the crowd, leaving his younger brother alone.
Liam sighed, running his hand through his hair, scanning the people closest to him.

(Imma have to look back at my notes to see if I made his appearance right- I think I missed something or got his hair color wrong)

Liam noticed one male that seemed to stand out, maybe not to others, but to him. He carefully followed the stranger, watching him switch between dance partners, leaving them with a strange look. He watched the male sit and get a drink, and thought whether or not to approach him. It was only a matter of time before Gainor came after him again, meaning he would have to at least dance with one person, not that he wanted to. He sighed, running his hand through his hair.

Liam's eyes followed the male as he slipped into a dark hallway, making him even more suspicious in Liam's eyes. He took a quick glance around before following him into the dark hallway, putting his left hand on his knife he had at his side.

Liam followed the male outside, making sure his hood was pulled up to hide his face as he pulled out the knife, hiding it behind himself.

Liam stiffened, he was sure that he was being sneaky. "who are you? you're not from around here" he said, trying to sound intimidating despite being short.

Liam looked Neo over, "because I have yet to decide if you are a threat or not".

"You are not from around here, I am trained to recognize anyone as a possible threat" he rolled his eyes.

"A lot can be said about a person based on where they are from, or what they are" He crossed his arms, making the knife in his hand visable

Liam raised an eyebrow, "you seem very defensive, why?" He took a step forward, lowering his arms from where they were crossed and spinning his knife in his left hand.

"I am not threatening you, just … encouraging you to talk" Liam shrugged.

Liam unceremoniously dropped the knife on the ground. "Is that better?"

Liam shook his head slightly, he still had quite a few knifes on him, but if this made the male feel less threatened, then so be it.
