"Girlfriend, the beautiful January Pennifold." He added, using his low-tone voice and putting a hand on Jan's hair shoulder. So knight-y of him. Quote:

Listening to the first half of introductions, he nodded and smiled politely at the woman. "A pleasure to meet you, Miss Pennifold," he said, using the more formal choice of address. That is until she chose to give him permission to use the familiar or not.
Of course Vic's choice of words had added to the awkward unfamiliarity he had with sharing his date with others. With his only other real relationship, Kyle and he had kept everything on the down-low so many weren't even aware of it. "And this is my...lovely girlfriend, Angelina Eboué." Now for the other side of things, introducing the one person who hadn't been already, at least to his companion. "Angelina, this is Vic Bones, head prosecutor." Quote:

"Pleasure to meet you as well, Sir Simon," she said with a grin and a curtsy, keeping herself in character of a... err... polite lady-archer of very old times. Yes. There wasn't an official title of what she was tonight. "And pleasure to meet you as well, Lady Angeline." Another curtsy for her. Merlin, this was going to get tiring.
January thought about starting a conversation with them, but she was soon distracted by a familiar face that was closer to the buffet table. It was WILLY! Jan stuck her arm in the air and waved back at him giddily, probably wiggling Vic around because her arm was still linked with his. Hehe. Ohhh and look, he was coming over! January beamed at him, trying not to be impolite to the others.
Wait. "You look very handsome," she told her friend. "Where's your costume?" Hmmmm? He was dressed up as a modern day wizard. Boring.
Perhaps introductions were in order. Vic and Willy had heard all about each other from January, but she was pretty sure they hadn't actually met before. "Vic, this is William," she said, gesturing to the asparagus-chomping man next to him. "And William, this is Vic. My boyfriend." But he knew that already. "Oh, and this is Simon and Angelina," January added, gesturing to the couple across from them. She didn't even know them, but she knew their names, so... There you go.
Oh, she had broken character now. Whoops. No curtsy for Willy. Angelina beamed, because he said she worked good! "Thank you," she said and wanted to tell him HOW she made his dress in detail, but he'd be bored. Bummer. So, instead...
More bummer, because his real co-workers were losers and didn't attend cool - "Oh, sure," she breathed in new excitement. His job was so breath-taking, especially compared to her boring one, so she wanted to meet as many people as possible.
...
How elegant and professional they both looked! Bet they were also really talented wizards. Angelina never questioned her job or the path she'd chosen, but that didn't mean she couldn't be awed by others.
She kept silent while the boys talked. Oh, the woman wasn't Simon's co-worker, only the man. Angelina smiled at them both politely.
...she was his 'lovely' girlfriend? Angelina mentally swooned. Heh. She was! She loved the title.
And another man joined them! Angelina was loving this place. She knew she probably wouldn't see any of them again, but it was still nice to meet them. This was her sole fun in her boring life. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bones, Pennifold and... William." Whose surname she didn't know, sadly. She also couldn't do a curtsy like January, but she could smile politely. "It's nice to meet |
