Empty glass still in hand, Abigail marched right over to the two youngsters who had made their appearance wearing what could only be described as being totally and completely inappropriate. Not only that, but were they SLOUCHING as they stood there? We did NOT slouch when at such official sorts of gatherings.
"Is the lighting here a bit too much for you?" she asked, waving her hand at the young man wearing sunglasses. "And didn't your mother ever tell you that tucking in your shirt is the appropriate thing to do in these situations? Not doing so makes one look like they should be standing on the street holding a cardboard sign." Her crystal blue eyes shifted to the young lady who was showing just a bit too much skin for the elder woman's taste. "We are at a Ministry function, not a school dance...even if the color is lovely on you, my dear."
Best to be harsh on the two before the Ministry himself said something, yes? Quote:

She hated to be the one to break it to him, particularly when he DID look so adorable, but shirt tucked in or not - he still stood out. Did HE see others rocking pink and shades? Most of the men she saw were in their best robes or suits. She bit her lip to keep from pointing this out to him.
"I'm certain Gordic Gryffindor and every other notable Gryffindor after him tucked their shirts in." Neptune would look it up and tape the proof/pictures to the refrigerator she now shared with Legend Chosen. She'd SHOW him Gryffindors with shirts tucked in! And.... leave his shirt alone. For now.
Happily, she dashed along at his side to MINGLE with MINISTRY folk. "Hi! How do you do?" Neptune curtsied for Wes and Iz.
Neptune pressed her lips together. WELL THEN. It was one thing for Neptune to chide Legend about his shirttail, but it was quite another for some nosy Nanny to put her old nose where it didn't belong.
And he looked ADORABLE in his useless shades. Hmph. "He's an Auror .....in training," Neptune loyally informed Mrs. Thing. Her hand went to her hip as it jutted out. SHE should show some more respect for the MEN protecting her. DOUBLE HMPHs.
Neptune already KNEW they were at a Ministry function and not a school dance. "I'm aware, thank you. What a keen eye you have." Quote:

Not that Evander read... gossip magazines or anything. He just KNEW things of that nature. It was his job to be aware of things. Besides. She was a civilian.
HOWEVER.... Legend? Was just scruffy.
"Lysander Jedidiah Hayden Shiloh Merric Chosen." Yeah thats right. "Tuck that shirt in and straighten that tie. You will NOT make a fool of MLE by looking like a scruff." Quote:
Originally Posted by Kaos.Doodles Random people that he didn't know really shouldn't be allowed to approach him. "Maybe it is...maybe it isn't." What was it to her? Legend glanced at the lady. She looked like she might be important. But important or not she had no right to judge his awesome style.
Legend slowly pulled off the glasses so he could look straight at the women. "My mother died when I was a baby." He said with a big grin. "And between you and me,-" He leaned in and lowered his voice. "-if she had taught me a lesson about how important it was to tuck in my shirt, I'd be more considered over the fact that like...a zombie was speaking to me." True story, for real.
He looked at Neptune then to the lady. He thought she looked fine- no beautiful. He simply shook his head. The woman was wrong with what ever she was implying. "She looks lovely." He said stiffly.
Legend slipped the glasses back on. "I'll take what you said into consideration though." Not likely. "Thank you Miss..." Again, who were you? "Gordic Gryffindor was probably the one who made tucking in shirts cool, and it was probably frowned upon then. And so I have to be a Gryffindor and make it uncool." He grinned. There you go Ravenclaw, some logic...maybe.
Legend's grin grew and he brought his finger to his lips. He didn't know the woman but she looked important! She could get him fired if she knew too much. Legend shot a smug look at the unknown lady as Evander joined them. Evander was cool so he KNEW stuff. See? Neptune was alright, not that he even believed she needed defending.
.....
His full name... "Uh." Legend just stared at his boss, in complete shock. "Uh...." He continued to stare, unblinking and not breathing, for a bit longer until finally his senses kicked in. "Urm-yes sir, sorry sir." He averted his gaze as he quickly rushed to tuck in his shirt. Good? Tie too? He hesitated before tightening the pink fabric around his neck.
Fine Evander. He'd listen to you.
But he was keeping the sunglasses.
Ah, there were some of their fine coworkers now! Wes smiled as he spotted Legend heading for him and directed Isobel their way. Before he could reach the YATI and his date, however, their path was intercepted by a rather stiff looking older woman, and Wes had to bite his lip to refrain from literally laughing behind her back as she reprimanded the 'fashionable' YATI and his date. HA. Kids these days. Then Van showed up as back-up for the old broad and Wes snorted into his champagne.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Bole," he greeted his boss first with a wink. "Cheers to this lovely ball, huh? We have much to celebrate." Peacetime was a good time to Wes.
He turned toward the young things and the old lady and dipped his head respectfully to the girl who had curtsied. "Pleasure to meet you too, Miss.....?" Whoever she was. "And the same to you, madame." He nodded at the representative from America and then winked at Legend.
"Godric Gryffindor did make tucking in shirts cool, but he also hated tuxedos. Little known fact about the famous wizard. Read it on a Chocolate Frog card once." Cough Isobel cough.
