A rather comedic choking sound escaped Genie when Urd tugged on the tie, tightening it to the point he could not breathe for a moment, but only that. A pout followed this, seen on his face while he listened to Urd’s words. However, just as quickly as it had appeared it had disappeared, a frown found in its place. He appreciated her kind words in regards to his parties but refused to agree with her when it came to his ability to create a proper date. Regardless what she said, as far as he was concerned, he had captured the perfect atmosphere. Genie had this in the bag. He knew this stuff like the back of his hand.
Following closely behind the goddess as she head to his table, he immediately reached for his collar when the goddess turned away, slipping his fingers beneath the tie to loosen it. There was nothing wrong with a tight tie, it was just that he liked to breathe easily. But just when Genie had gotten himself out of one tangle he found himself in another – rather literally. Somehow he had managed to tangle himself up in one of the curtains while following Urd inside. He flailed his arms about, struggling to free them before pretending to act natural when Urd looked back at him. Though, how ‘natural’ one could really look tangled in a curtain was rather debatable. The roofless room instantly lit up when Genie set foot inside, a soft blue glow reflecting from the white walls.
“A retirement party?!” Genie repeated, clearly offended by her choice of comparison. “It must be a long time since you’ve been to one of those because this screams romantic. It’s remote, private, and has an absolutely enchanting view.” He tried to gesture to the open roof with his hand, however found it exceedingly difficult to move the way the curtain had wrapped itself around him. So, instead he gestured with his head. “You’re taking this too seriously.” Genie continued, attempting to free himself from the curtain. “This is supposed to be fun and allow them to relax. It can still be romantic, even if there is a little silliness involved.”
Finally freeing himself, he stumbled forward and further into the ‘room’. Thankfully he caught himself before he ran into Urd or the table, but there was not much he could do in regards to dignity he had lost during the curtains captivity. He decided to play it as though the event had never occurred, simply straightening himself, fixing his dress coat, and clearing his throat.
