At least Wes looked to be uncomfprtable in his suit, if not other details. Seeing as the other man was with Isobel, obviously not trying to hide their relationship anymore. That had been obvious to him even before the search for D'Isigny had put them on the same team, but that wasn't relevant. "Not everyone," he said simply, as Laurie's words had once again sent his mind back to Gwendolyn and he'd looked back up as he brought his glass to his lips again. She hadn't wanted anything from him, not in a vicious way or however Laurie was inferring the statement. That was another irrelevant thing, however and he glanced back down after only a moment. "Of course the people here want things from us. That's our job." And their jobs never ceased, even if they were no longer trying to survive under the Cult leadership.

He'd caught her reaction to the sight of Recard the waiter, as well, and that amused him. It was interesting to know that the dislike of the former Transportation head extended through the entirety of MLE. Granted, that imbecilic suspension of Apparition licenses had extended to the Wizengamot, but beyond that he hadn't thought things had been quite as on edge among that end. Laurie had always seemed more focused on her work than anything else, so knowing she could actually get out of that mode was refreshing. Maybe they could manage to avoid too much work for the night, but he shrugged at her reaction to his last statement. "True. I can't help but wait for the other shoe to fall," he replied. D'Isigny was still out there, even if they'd caught most of the other influential cultists. Something was inevitable, and he knew enough to not think otherwise. Her suggestion that had followed threw him off slightly, however, but after another cursory scan of the room, he shrugged again. Why not, he thought, offering her an arm silently. At least he could be sure there wouldn't be any flirting with Laurie. And the fact she could provide intelligent conversation was a plus.

Laurie watched with amusement as the Legend bloke she'd seen around the office got yelled at by Evander and smirked. Tonight was turning out to be amusing after all though Recard as the waiter topped them all. She never had to deal with him the way that the rest of the department had to but she still remembered the one time she'd run into him. He got everything he deserved. Hearing Dorian's remark she blushed slightly. "More like my experiences with certain people in general."

"You and I both. But hopefully it won't be tonight." Because she wasn't dressed at all to deal with anything like that. Seeing his shrug she chuckled softly and sliding her arm through his. "I have a favour to ask of you, Dorian. If you see Hunter, you know the bloke that came to the office that one day awhile back for me, don't correct him if he asks if we're together or something. I just don't want to deal with him. Though I doubt he'd even bother showing up." For once she wanted a quiet night with a friend and no drama. "I'm done with relationships and the drama they cause." She should have stuck to her guts about that. Sighing she finished the rest of her champagne. "Tell me about yourself Dorian? You're always as quiet as I am usually. Might as well get to know one another if we're stuck here." She eyed Recard contemplating whether or not to go give him a hard time and get another glass or not. It wasn't usually like her, but then again this whole getting dressed up for a ball in the first place wasn't like her. Or spilling personal stuff to a relative stranger.
