Reeve arrives, taking in the interior while making her way to the hostess. She's enjoyed her exchanges with Gabrielle and is looking forward to monopolizing the hostess just a bit. It's possible the idea of a casual sort of party after her pleasant days at the beach has gotten to Reeve-- though she is still in her usual white, collared shirt, she's tan and seems relaxed. Remarkably enough, she's wearing a knee-length skirt-- and her hair down. Unaccompanied (for the moment, at least) she finds a glass of something wet and makes her way over to Gabrielle, smiling brightly.]

Hello, there. Congratulations [She makes Gabrielle a toast with her glass.] Everything looks wonderful-- present company especially, of course.

[aureation]

[Upon seeing Reeve, Gabrielle immediately smiles. It's rare she finds someone who shares a lot of the same interests as her, especially when they seem to differ than her usual talk of work (even if she does miss her sniper rifle). She gently laughs, lowering her face a bit bashfully at the toast.]

Thank you, Reeve. [She recovers quickly though, tilting her chin up a bit.] I could say the same for you, though. You look absolutely beautiful, and that tan certainly works wonders on you. [She presses her lips into a smile.]

[urbanwonderland]

[Reeve chuckles, surprised and flattered-- and returns Gabrielle's smile.]

Oh, this old thing-- no, really, thank you. You're too kind, but I'm happy to accept the compliment, considering the source.

[It goes beyond her admiration of blondes, really-- she does like Gabrielle quite a lot. It's so nice to spend time with such an intelligent, down-to-earth, yet cosmopolitan woman-- especially one who appreciates (or tolerates) her sense of humor. Gabrielle has a lovely smile.]

So glad you have a nice turn-out for your party. Your interior is quite nice, by the way. Not to invite myself over, but is it possible that sometime when you aren't hosting, you'd consider giving me a guided your?

[aureation]

I'd more than love to. After all, who better to tour my apartment complex other than the Secretary of Urban Development herself? It'll be like a visit from a diplomat. [She gently laughs.]

[urbanwonderland]

[Reeve laughs at that, but it's a shared sort of laugh. Gabrielle has a bewitching way about her.]
Oh, I see! So, should I wear my suit, then? Since I'll be here in my official capacity? Alas, here I was, hoping for something more intimate-- more friendly, that is. [Laughing once more, Reeve shakes her head at herself.]
Let's just say "less formal" and leave it at that.

[aureation]

I'm not sure how touring an apartment complex can ever be intimate, unless it's a couple looking for a place to live, but "less formal" sounds appropriate. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it or if I need to improve anything.

[urbanwonderland]

I'd be pleased to offer you my professional opinion, but really, a space can really be judged on a fundamental level by the attitudes of the people who occupy it. Your tenants and guests seem very pleased with their surroundings, so I'd consider your efforts a success.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that you throw a lovely party, either. [Reeve smiles, taking another sip of champagne.]

[restlessdevil]

[Zenobia notices Reeve, waves with her free hand.] Oh, Miss Reeve! It's nice to see you again. You look lovely with your hair down. Though, don't get me wrong, it looks great the other way, too.

[apologies for the thread drop! consider it closed, if you like!]

[urbanwonderland]

[Reeve smiles, giving the young woman with the conspicuous wing a wave in return.] Hello, Zenobia-- thank you! You look lovely yourself, this evening. Haha, and please, just plain "Reeve" will be fine.

[No worries :D And I'm good either way.]

[restlessdevil]

Oh, thank you. Reeve it is, then. [She laughs.] Hey, hey, have you ever had something called 'cheesecake' before? I just tried it, and it is amazing!
