He was happy for the other man, honestly, in that regard, even though it reminded him of his own past and Gwendolyn. It just wasn't exactly the right venue for dwelling on those events, especially since he'd thought he'd gotten past that. For the most part, at least. It wasn't like he'd gone out looking for anyone new yet. Gabriel was still out there. In prison, yes, but he was out there. He didn't want to risk his ex-best friend learning about another weakness.

Gray eyes scanning the groups of people mingling, he had almost missed the director of prosecution as she'd walked over by him, but he glanced down with a shrug as Laurie had spoken. "Balls. I can't say I have trouble with people in general," he replied, even as she'd gone on to scan the crowds as well. He generally only had problems with some people, and so far he hadn't seen anyone who qualified. Except for Recard, but the disgraced former department head seemed to be in an appropriate position tonight. No need to dwell on the rest. "It's a bit odd being here. Celebrating when I know it's not entirely over."

Laurie looked up at the rather tall man curiously for a moment before looking back at the people entering. He was always a mystery and never talked much but at least he wasn't a prat. Plus one for him in her book. "Least that's one of us that doesn't. I like neither personally. Balls make you dress up and pretend to be in good spirits with a bunch of people you don't know." Though she did look good she would admit but still... "And people because they always want something from you." Like certain a certain sweet talking man that shall now remain nameless. Sigh.

Taking a longer sip of her champagne than before she watched Evander and then her eyes landed on that Recard fellow and a smirk formed at least some people got what they deserved. "Nothing is ever over, Dorian," she said turning to face him completely, "A new chapter takes its place and some other catastrophe awaits. It's a bit of an endless cycle really. But the people need a lift so we put on a smile and push forward." She gave him a slight smile and sipped at her champagne, "Care to escort me this evening? We can be miserable together." Sounded like a plan to her and if Hunter did show up he might think twice. A win-win situation.
