Astrid chuckles as she sees Camilla giving her advice to her....as a monologue with one of the chairs in the tavern. Obviously too drunk that she mistakes the chair for the gnome, she calls out to her from across the room, cackles and shouts “Hey Camilla! That chair looks like it can put up a better fight with you than any cultist!”
Bell was happy and giddy during the whole ceremony, practically bouncing out of her chair when Edward and Orcaheart shared their kiss. “He looks so happy!” She points out to who ever was next to her.
When the after party began and she was handed her first glass of wine, she downs it in one go!

And got as drunk as Camilla was on that single glass. Like mother like daughter!

Messalina smiled as she watched Bell and Camilla danced, although she wasn't too pleased about Bell being drunk. Aaaaand that's the last time I give her alcohol. But still, she thought they do look happy and I don't know if I've seen Camilla laughing this much since I've met her. It'll be worth it tomorrow when I'm cleaning up after both of them.

Messalina is easily able to spot Li'riya at the edges of the room. She approaches her and offers her hand. "Come now Li'riya, you're far too pretty to be playing the wallflower. Dance with me." Messalina gently pulls her into a slow dance, playing the part that usually goes to the male; twirling Li'riya about and dipping her at the right moments. "Now isn't this much better than being in the corner by yourself?"

“Holy ****!” Bell mimicked back with a cheeky smile, even copying how Camilla gave them a thumbs up (talon up?). She then turns to the tiefling, trying to focus on her while the rest of the world was spinning around her. “Can you twirl me like that?”

"You bet your ******* crispy chicken I can!"Camilla burped out. She took Bell and gave her best impression of someone regally dancing and when the music was appropriate, would twirl Bell around and try and make her laugh, while laughing herself. "Hold on to your ass!!"Camilla would rear up and pretend she was about to launch her into the sky, but then her arms would wobble and she said, "God dammit! You're too heavy!! It's like you've been eating for two weeks straight!"She shot a look to Bell after a moment, screaming, "Just kidding!! HEAVE!!"and she alley ooped Bell into the air, laughing wildly.
Messalina smiles at the two of them, especially Camilla, who seems to be surprised at their skill. "I don't know why she's so shocked that I know how to dance. Any decent courtesan at least knows all the basic waltzes. And I'm more than just a decent courtesan. It also helps that you're a quick learner."
She smiles at Li'riya. "I'm glad that you're having fun. I've been to my fair share of these in my day. But not with anyone as good as you all."
"And I'm glad that you're having fun." As Camilla fumbles Bell, Messalina quickly casts Feather Fall, ensuring that Bell is unhurt as she goes towards the ground.
"You're on." Messalina says.
Performance: 15
Not Messalina's best performance, but still a good one and it becomes very apparent that Messalina is a skilled courtesan who was in high demand before the cult attacked her family and that she'd likely be in high demand once this is over.
She still finds Camilla's dancing adorable and walks over to her and Bell, kneeling down to get face to face with the kenku. "Do you mind if I borrow Camilla? One dance and you can have her back. Pinky promise."
Bell is all smiles and giggles at the world continues to spin, and it only gets worse when she’s thrown in the air by Camilla. Though, with quick acting, Messalina saved her from throwing up all over Camilla, landing gently on the ground due to the spell. She burps, excuses herself, and scuttles off to the nearest restroom.

"Agh, ******* hell, you're good at this!"she pouts sadly as Camilla busts out some moves. She was momentarily caught up a session of self loathing when Messalina slid up against her. "Oh!"

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?

Camilla laughed and giggled with glee as she danced with Bell, like a mother dancing with a little child, hand in hand.

Camilla gives Li'riya a huge thumbs up and watches for a few moment, pleasantly surprised both of them can actually dance!
"Holy ****, Bell." she said easily, watching. "Look at them go!"
“Holy ****!” Bell mimicked back with a cheeky smile, even copying how Camilla gave them a thumbs up (talon up?). She then turns to the tiefling, trying to focus on her while the rest of the world was spinning around her. “Can you twirl me like that?”

Li'riya smiles as Messalina twirls her around. "All right, this is...fun," she admits. "I've never really been to this kind of thing before."

Dance off, let's go.

PfFBfb! LOL.

Astrid takes a break from prowling the tavern, sprints onto the dance floor, and does a breakdancing head spin.
Performance: 7
...which rapidly turns into a worm dance on the floor. (Deception: 15) as if she meant to do that move the entire time.
