Scrawled on a black invitation in beautiful, gold coloured handwritten calligraphy is the date and time of the party, as well as one of Vena's addresses. Beautiful waterfront property just outside of a nearby city. The time on the invitation is listed as 8PM. Vena's attempt to accommodate any guests who may not be able to face the sun. Vena has a preference for nighttime anyway.

The home, itself, sits on a large piece of land with a well manicured and expansive garden on one side, and the harbour on the other. Inside, the home is very open, with plenty of space for party goers to lounge, and plenty of rooms for them to disappear into. There are only two bedrooms closed to the guests: Vena's own and one that that he keeps for his partner. There are floor to ceiling windows that look out over the large deck (where there's ample seating and a fire pit that will have a fire burning all night) and the harbour.

The decor and furnishings, themselves, are all dark shades (and not all white like in the picture!) of varying colours. Greys, blues, reds, and black, of course, with gold and silver accents and the occasional white showing up in a variety of places to break up the darkness.

There is a vast array of finger foods and an open bar, as well as a chef in the kitchen should anyone desire something a little more substantial to eat. He may even have a few humans set aside who are willing to be fed on, should that be what someone wants. Well, more like they're willing to do anything Vena asks, but to Vena, it's all the same thing.

As for the actual guests, an invite has gone out to anyone who isn't human, from demons to mythical creatures and everything in between. That isn't to say that humans aren't permitted (as more than snacks and servants) because they are, but as a +1. They must have something not human to accompany them, who will then be responsible for them for the evening. Don't let you humans get out of hand and ruin it for everyone else. The dress code is semi-formal and the colours are black and gold, just like the invitation.

Vena, himself, is dressed a little more than usual, with a few pieces of gold jewelry and some simple black around his eyes to fit his chosen colour scheme.

There are a lot of inhuman guests, and a significant number of those inhuman guests are some flavour of predator. It has to be rather stressful for a prey animal. With that in mind, Hai tries to be mindful of his own movements. He's very aware of how the scent of blood clings to him regardless of how much he tries to cover it with perfumes. He knows he smells dangerous. It's up to him to prove he's not.

"You would be my first." Since he assumes this one is asking because he's from the moon, himself. Perhaps that's what smelled off about the rabbit, and not that he has a human form like so many in attendance at the party here tonight.

No one (on the moon) would dare bring harm to any of Dalnim’s precious rabbits! That doesn’t mean Bunny lacks those prey animal instincts. His little rabbit heart beats furiously even in this human shape and his dark eyes are wide and watchful of danger.

“Are you going to tell on me?” He manages to squeak out.

Unfortunate that here on Earth, few would know that he's one of Dalnim's precious rabbits. Here, he appears to be no different than a regular earthen rabbit. Here, the creatures who see rabbits as their regular prey will see Bunny no differently. Fortunately, Bunny is not Hai's prey. Hai is not so monstrous that he'll attack some creature indiscriminately. He's not so driven by instinct and hunger. Calm your heart, little rabbit. You'll be okay.

"No, I have no reason to tell on you."

Are you sure he'll be okay, Hai? Bunny's not sure!

But since Hai hasn't moved much at all (maybe he's aware of the predator-prey dynamic happening here?), Bunny does feel himself calming by degrees. Well, calming from the fear. He's still an excitable little thing and there's a lot to see and do in this place! That's exciting!

"Do you live here?"

Absolutely sure! Just a few deep breaths and calm that racing heart a little. The predators maybe be a little less quick, then, to notice the prey in their midst! As for the excitement of all there is to do and see, well, Hai has no solution for that.

Hai turns his head to look over his shoulder as though he needs the visual reminder of just where he is. Not at the home he shares with a Fae, but rather the home of the Fae's acquaintance. As lovely as this place is, he'd much rather be in the place where he could answer 'yes' to the rabbit's question. He shakes his head as his attention returns to the blond.

"No, I don't live here. I'm just a guest."

There's something... it's not quite sad, but wistful(?) in the way Hai answers that disarms Bunny a little more. Tilting his head curiously, he take a tiny half-step closer. "Do you want to live here?"
