[ Despite not being particularly sociable nor really knowing anything about the apartments or planning to move there, Liechtenstein said she would come, and she didn't change her mind. And it could have been an opportunity to get to know everyone; they were all here in this together, after all. Not wanting to stand out, the dress she chose for the occasion was a simple, song-sleeved blue one and I would provide pictures if I had any. She had to admit that she felt a little out of place, though... but that was nothing new to her, with such a young appearance.

Not wanting to intrude, she enters a bit shyly but politely, hands clasped in her lap. And the first thing she does is make way towards where the food is, where she can observe everyone else and join in- and of course, being underage, she is going to avoid the drinks. It was also a bit strange, come to think of it, not to be hiding behind her brother or staying close to him... during these kinds of events he always made sure she did, as he always went with her. ]

[restlessdevil]

Oh! Hello Liechtenstein! [Zenobia approaches, holding a glass of wine.] I was hoping I could meet you in person. You look lovely.

[neutralityloli]

[ She smiles. It's nice to meet in person, and the compliment gives her more confidence in herself. She responds with a polite, elegant and slightly old-fashioned curtsey. ] Thank you very much, Miss Zenobia. That dress suits you as well.

[restlessdevil]

Oh, I'm glad you think so. I generally don't wear dresses like this, so I wasn't sure how well I look, but hearing that makes me feel better.

This party was such a great idea! I want to get to know everyone better. Including you.

[neutralityloli]

I must confess that I'm not used to this either.... additionally, I don't usually go to such occasions alone, so this is new to me, but I would like to get this opportunity to get to know everyone... a-and this includes you as well, so the feeling is mutual.

[restlessdevil]

[Zenobia smiles.] So we're kind of in the same boat, so to speak. Well, if you don't like being alone, I'd be glad to accompany you during the party if it'd make you feel better.

[To the "this includes you" line, she responds:] I'm so happy to hear you say that. Getting to know new people is such fun.

[neutralityloli]

[ nods enthusiastically ] Thank you! I like getting to know new people, as well. I'm not very good at it, but still...

[restlessdevil]

Then we'll go together. That way it'll be easier and I'll get to talk to you more.

[neutralityloli]

Mm! I'd love that.

[aureation]

[Noticing the girl all by herself, Gabrielle can't help but be reminded of the past three years. It felt both familiar to her but gave her a twisting feeling in her stomach. Of course, she easily hide that behind her genuine warm smile as she approaches Liechtenstein.]

I'm glad you could make it.

[neutralityloli]

[ The smile easily comforts her and she returns one of her own. ] Thank you. It is a pleasure to be here, Miss Monsigny.

[aureation]

Feel free to have something to eat, if you'd like. [She motions toward the food table.] There's certainly more than enough to go around.

[neutralityloli]

[ she looks awfully excited as she stares at it... ] It's true- there's so much... I'll try my best not to finish all of it...
