Jasmine was about to jump in at Kouji's "loudmouth" remark at Andy, but quickly stopped herself.
'Don't blindly defend him, stupid. If anything, this is something he needs to hear.'
And she left it at that, glancing around at what all was going on...besides people spiking the punch. She smiled and swayed a little with the music that was playing, and she watched the people out on the floor dancing. She really wanted to be out there, too.

Lilith had been watching from across the room for awhile, yet. It wasn't hard to find the orange-headed boy at all, he brought on a lot of attention without the hair colour. Tragic, that could cause him...problems in the future...
She glided across the room and hovered about the area where the orange-headed man, another young man his age, and the two young ladies were. She looked over at Jasmine, carefully examining her.
Lilith then approached her, a pleasant smile on her face. "Jasmine," she said quietly.

Jasmine jumped at the mention of her name, and by an unfamiliar voice. She turned and there stood the long, brown-headed woman, a smile on her face. Jasmine didn't remember her, if she had even met her at all before. She couldn't help but take a cautionary step back.
"I...um...e-excuse me? How do you know my name?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at the lady.

"It's your name?" Lilith responded, sweetness coating her voice and she quickly pulled out of a small bag by her side a small wreath of Jasmine flowers. She looked over the blonde-haired girl again and began to stroke the beautiful flowers.
"...Sensuality...gracefulness...elegance...the Jasmine flower," she said, stepping closer to the girl and reaching her hand out, stroking her cheek.
"Yes...your parents must have known you'd grow up like this, much like the flower, hmm? You are a real heart-stealer, aren't you? I bet you use this maliciously, too..."

Jasmine tensed slightly as Lilith touched her cheek, but she didn't back away. She looked over the woman, who seemingly knew her plants. She pegged her as coming from Alberisato, for sure, anyway.
"I'm...I'ms sorry? How do you figure maliciously? What do you mean?" she asked, confusion in her voice.

Lilith was quiet for a long, awkward moment. She lightly ran her fingernails over Jasmine's cheek, somehow wishing so much she could have stabbed them into her neck at the moment. She wanted to see the girl curl and squirm in agony, life dripping away from her much like the way the flowers she held close to her would, too.
Of course, it was time to play nice so she pulled away suddenly before the urge settled itself in.
"You know what I mean, you little monster," she snapped, yet with the pleasant smile on her face, "you use and abuse this, don't you? Girls like you get away with everything, you're terrible people. You're a terrible little wretch and I don't want to ever see your face again."
She then quickly turned on her heels and stormed off, looking for Trucido.

Jasmine's eyes widened. "E-excuse me!?"
She couldn't believe the words that come from this woman's mouth. She didn't even introduce herself, of all the nerve!
Jasmine put her hands to her cheeks and looked around, embarrassed by what just happened. She didn't even do anything to her, at least she didn't think she did. What was her problem?!

Kouji watched the witch leave, then turned to Jasmine.
"Hey... what do you think her problem was? I mean, sure, you travel around with airheads like him," he jerked a thumb at Andy, "but that doesn't give her the right to treat you like that."

Jasmine blinked at Kouji, she really had hoped that no one else had been paying attention to what just happened. She looked him over, and couldn't help but smile, even add a slight giggle as he referred to Andy as an 'airhead'.
However, pride shone on her face as she answered him with, "Airheaded or loudmouthed, you could call him whatever you want. But I'll be honest with you when I say that Mr. Jammer is the kindest, determined, brave, and pure-hearted young man I've met in my own travels."
'(You forgot "hot")
I said shut up earlier, didn't I? We just don't think like that.'
Each word she spoke as the solid truth, and she wasn't in the least bit ashamed to say it to anyone.

Sounds like Goggle-Boy, he thought to himself... then proceeded to say it out loud.
"So was Goggle-Head..." He sighed, then explained. "I knew this guy, way back when. He was a lot of those things... didn't stop him from being an airhead."

"I wouldn't call him a complete 'airhead'," Jasmine giggled again, "he tends to miss some things, but that won't stop him from becoming one of the greatest warriors you've ever seen, sir."
She straightened out her dress a bit, and rubbed her arms a little for warmth - she wasn't used to them being uncovered, she was always in a long-sleeved top of some sorts.

He sighed, then reached into his pack, pulling out a rumpled blue jacket with a yellow stripe down each arm. He held it out to her.
"It's not really formal," he mentioned, "but it's warm."

Jasmine blinked, staring at the bundled up coat and then back at Kouji. She was going to accept it, it was a kind gesture...
Yet this kind of thing made her instantly think back to only two minutes ago to that random woman giving her the "you kind of girls are terrible, getting away with whatever you want!" rant - somehow, she was terrified of it being connected. She didn't even know this guy, this could have meant anything!
Jasmine shivered again, except this time it wasn't because she was cold. She smiled at Kouji, though, but she surprisingly took a step away from him.

He sighed.
"Don't let the witch get to you. If it helps, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it because the memory of my grandfather would kill me if I didn't offer it."
He didn't mean for it to come out sounding like he was a jerk, but that was the way it came out, so there wasn't really a point in trying to correct that.

Andy blinked once or twice at Lilith's insult to Jasmine before grabbing the nearist bowl and yelling. "COME BACK HERE YOU SUMATA B****, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!"
He was stopped halfway by Kevin, who rapped him once on head with his cane and caught the bowl he dropped. Setting it back on the table he patted Andy's shoulder. "You can get her later. She's all talk, or so I hear."
Kevin turned to Kouiji and Jasmine and bowed. "Ah, you're the warrior from Japan, are you not?"
