He just had no idea how to dress for a garden party. A garden party? In January? It was nice out and all but... he was keeping his jacket on. Annnnnd making a beeline for the food table, making a beeline for the food table, andddd here he was, at the food table. The tall dragon lover kept his head down and generally avoided talking to anyone he knew, since they were all talking to other people anyway. Whatever. He'd just pile his plate so high with food that he would have an excuse to keep his mouth full all night.

This was healthy, yep. William started on his mission at hopefully the correct end of the buffet table this time.


Some women would rather starve at these kind of events than just get themselves a plate of food and be seen eating. Daphne wasn't one of those women. She wasn't about to stuff her face with food, no, but she was hungry, so here she was. She stepped in line behind a man who looked not too much older than her. She wasn't really aiming to interact with him, because that seemed kind of strange while standing in the line for food.

If they knew each other any better, or at all for that matter, she might would make a joking comment about him leaving some food for the people behind him. As it was, she couldn't even see his face, so she had no idea who he was or what he looked like, so she just left well enough alone. It was too bad she didn't know anybody from her department. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other as she thought about the best way to make it through the event without looking awkward and in need of friends.

The line stalled then, because obviously somebody was taking a really long time, so Daphne shifted her weight from foot to foot once again. Someone across the table passed her a smile just then, and giving him a random introduction, she said, "Daphne Addison, the new Senior Dragon Researcher."
