She'd just use her occupation as an excuse if necessary, but she hoped nobody she talked with would find it much of an issue anyway. Seating would be more apt for talking to people, generally, but at least if she got some food she'd have something to occupy herself with while she was in the usual superficial conversations that occurred at parties like this.

Looping her tousled hair behind one ear as she perused the selection, she shifted her bag in order to select a plate, then it seemed things were destined to be less elegant than she was used to being at events. Upon reaching over for some shrimp to go with the vegetables she'd already chosen, her arm hit a man who was standing nearby and jostled his plate a bit. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said with an apologetic smile, before she realized he seemed a little lost. About what, she wasn't sure, but given the location she could make an educated guess. "Can't decide what to choose? I'd go small, but then that's what I'm used to at parties," she continued with a somewhat less apologetic smile. "I don't believe we've met. Aliceara Ravenswood, shopkeeper at Madame Malkin's." And ~~former~~ successful actress and model, but it seemed most people hadn't picked up on that. He didn't seem like a Ministry person, which piqued her curiosity more. Since that meant he was either a random guest or one of her fellow Diagon Alley people, and that just reminded her that hiding wasn't good. Nobody here probably knew her cousin anyway.

Milton was busy deciding what to do next when someone oh-so-rudely bumped into him.

He sighed. "No worries." he said after regaining balance of his plate.

Oh, and now the lady was introducing herself. "I'm... uh... Milton... Bradley" he said hoping that she was just another pureblood. So far he'd had great luck with people not commenting on his name, he'd hate for that luck to run out. "I work in Madame Primpernelle's." he said. He turned to look at the fellow shopkeeper. She was gorgeous... which made Milton feel like an idiot. He was getting party advice... from someone that obviously got invited to a lot of parties... and someone he'd most likely have to see again.

Yup. From what he'd heard about parties this seemed the way they normally went.

"I was... er.. just deciding where to sit." he said. That was a good excuse to why he looked confused, right? "I wasn't sure if there was a proper order or something... since this is celebrating the promotion of someone." Someone whom he had never met. And by the looks of it all of England was invited to this thing.
