Short summary: This is a mixture of both Card and Event. The card only happens after all the chapters of the event. An unexpected blizzard traps MC and Rafayel together, turning a canceled party into a night of playful intimacy and lingering uncertainty.

TIMELINE NOTES: MC ties him down comfortably, dance together, they drink wine, she says she wants him, Rafayel wants to make sure she wants this. However she mentions him not handling alcohol well, so it’s after Tipsy. He says “the other fish took you away” so after Ebb and Flow.

EVENT

PRELUDE

Rafayel invites MC over to give feedback on his party plans (a paper with 3 lines on it). He says he doesn’t have many ideas and asks her to help him brainstorm.

He reveals it was supposed to be a small gathering proposed by Thomas, but it soon became a family and friends meeting when Talia was involved, and now there’s about 18 people involved.

She asks him why he didn’t say no, he said they haven’t seen in a while so it’d be nice, but he didn’t want to plan everything. He’s feeling pressured to do well since it’s his name/reputation on the line.

He pulls her with one arm around her shoulders, and convinces her to stay and help.

CHAPTER 1

They brainstorm and the final choice is something “normal, cozy, tasteful and thoughtful”.

He rests his head in her shoulder after deciding to invite them to appreciate the sea. He invites her to go shopping.

CHAPTER 2

They meet at a liquor store that he recommended. She learns he knows how to mix cocktails.

She grins while he talks about his favorite drinks, and she mocks him for not handling alcohol well. He says it could be a party game to mix drinks and try to guess who mixed what.

They smile at each other.
