holiday party post

Aphrodite's New York loft is done up to the nines.

The first good look as one enters is of twinkling Manhattan through the big windows, lights bright against a dark winter sky. The windows take up most of two walls; the rest of the space is largely empty, the star of the show a glowingly polished hardwood floor perfect for dancing.

There's a cluster of low-slung couches and chairs at one end of the room, velvet and leather and very inviting. They're situated by the fireplace, which lends them a cozy glow-- though it isn't cold anywhere in here, despite the windows.

Aphrodite is very proud of a few things about tonight:

1) The music, which spans a decent range of time periods and tempos, and will be playing for most of the evening.
2) The decorations, understated but quite lovely: softly glowing lights, silver and gold ribbons wound around columns and draped from the ceiling ... the occasional strategically placed bit of mistletoe.
3) Her dress.

And yes, darlings, there is a very well stocked bar and counter full of snacks.

That's what happens when you enlist the Three Graces to help you plan your shindigs.

Hushed: "It's like we're in the future."

Seriously, if they weren't at a super-high-class party right now, Bolin would try to take off and explore the whole thing.

And Mako'd be the one lagging behind just gaping at everything.

This is it, isn't it? The future - it's all here, all on display. And he's shocked into silence.

For the first time in his life, he's the one asking instead of the one answering.

"What do we do?"

Bolin studies his brother for a second. Then, with a grin, he slings a companionable arm around his shoulders.

(It takes a bit of reaching, considering Mako's got about half a foot on him.)

"Get some food, enjoy the party, and think about how awesome this whole thing is," he suggests.

Mako takes a couple of second to process this.

Then he nods.

"Meet me back here when it's over, okay?"

"Will do, bro," he says, and gives Mako a light sock on the arm before pulling away to start the mingling.

Man, what would his big brother do without him? Have NO FUN AT ALL, that's what.
