/Hiding somewhere behind the beverage table

[alwaysinmysight]

[The decorations had been much easier to do with her wand handy- it didn't require her climbing onto anything and hazarding possibly breaking a limb- or worse, one of Lady Elizabeth's decorations. But now that everything was done and set up, the music playing, and Lady Elizabeth playing hostess, there was little for Maylene to do but resign herself to watch the festivities.

And hopefully, nothing would go wrong enough that she couldn't handle fixing it.]

[timeinback]

[Chao was just doing the finishing touches on setting down all the food. She wasn't exactly sure who was going to eat Hime's food, especially after seeing inklings of Hime's ingrediants. Just in case, she managed to make larger serving sizes. Meatbuns, sausages, various cheeses and sandwiches all laid in nice trays ready to be eaten. There was even cookies and cake in the far end of the serving table.

She had finished the final platter on the table when she caught the flash of red and blinked at what looked like a maid. A smile beamed across Chao's face.]

You should enjoy the festivities too, miss.

[alwaysinmysight]

Oh-!

[Maylene blinked, and then offered a smmall smile, smoothing the front of the dress Elizabeth had made and bobbing her head nervously.]

O-oh, I plan to I was just... taking everything in.

[Not entirely a lie- she really was taking everything in... and making sure no one too suspicious-looking was about. After all, she had been told to watch out for Lady Elizabeth. She flashed the girl another look, noting that she'd been setting down food and blinked in surprise- though it was hardly visible behind her glasses.]

Did you make all that, Young Miss?

[timeinback]

[Chao's smile grew a little bigger. the woman's nervousness was a little cute.

Well, you look nice! You should go out there and dance with someone. I'm sure there's a few staff members just waiting for someone to ask them.

[Ah, there earned a small sheepish smile]

W-Well, I'm not a terribly good cook, but it was the least I could do really. The school needed this party.

[no_souls_here]

[Arriving to the party with a flat expression on his face, the Earl looked for someplace he might fade into the background. One thing he'd actually enjoyed about going away to school was the lack of social gatherings. His fiancee had seen fir to change that.

Gaze locking on Maylene, at least there was one familiar face. who didn't drive him up a wall on a regular basis. He said nothing and just sort of appeared beside her. Surely, his presence here should be enough to sate Lizzie]

[alwaysinmysight]

Y-Young Master..!

[Honestly, she really had to learn to do that from him and Sebastian- it was a valuable talent to have, she thought. Still, she offered him a small smile and one of her fumbling curtsies, motioning out toward the festivities.]

Are you enjoying the festivities, Young Master?

[no_souls_here]

[Granted Sebastian was more adept in that skill than the Earl, but yes it was useful. When Maylene began to speak, the boy looked toward her, but otherwise remained motionless.]

[Enjoying himself? Hardly. Parties were a waste of time and effort. Naturally, it wouldn't do to speak ill of it while in attendance, or to one of his servants]

Elizabeth certainly has outdone herself.

[There a non-answer]

Are you?
