It's a bold move, but it's a challenge to his lord and to his masculinity he cannot ignore. And to issue this challenge in such a public arena? Can he afford to lose face here in front of so many?

But Mitch's words make her stop and think for a moment. She looks at Von Galen then she looks at the car.

"I just realized that you are right. I should think of who could get hurt. I should think of what's important. And I just realized that he isn't important to me at all. Thank you Mitch"

She goes to the car and looks at it. She reaches out and touches the hood and runs her fingers over it. Even as it fights her she still continues to touch it gently and caress it. Then she starts to speak to it softly

"How can you allow a fool like Phaeton to command you? He's not worthy of your beauty, your power, your majesty. I understand now what an honor it is to be so close to you. Please ... allow me to indulge my senses. You're so beautiful ... I'm in rapture."
Phaeton (the demigod, not the horses) tries to blend in with the crowd. ((Anyone tracking/pursuing him? Glen? Cameron?)) The horses love the attention, and while the car still shimmies a little it's quite pacified. The engine purrs.

Von Galen has had his manhood questioned and his...well, the horses were stolen by that girl, and he's not taking it well at all. Still, he's not an idiot.

"I'm not hiding." He steps forward of his companions, but not very far forward. "Good to see you appreciate a fine car. That's what we're all here for, after all, fine cars." He waits for the yeahs from the crowd, but they're weak. "And fine bodies," which gets a little laugh--he's a bit short for most of the women here, "and fine music" which gets DJ Cameron a cheer, "and---" but he's interrupted by the dialogue with Kane.

"Permission?"

For a Malakite who is not the leader of the party, the answer to that one word can bind or loose.
Corat nods a yes. He does so immediately by human standards, but for an Ofanite it was like he'd pondered it for an hour. On the bright side he did not in fact ponder it for an hour, so he's got some of his mojo back.

Ryuki, however, can read lips. "No," he says out loud, interrupting Von Galen, facing vaguely in the direction of the three angels so as not to give any one away. "He's leaving."
