She was having a thRILLING time here when all of her friends were out celebrating one of the girls engagements in short dresses and little umbrellas in dr-no. Eliora had been intending on not making it tonight, and blaming her five year old child for her absence if ever asked about it. This didn't make her a bad mother, of course, but she hadn't gone through with it in the hopes that she'd 1. Get to see some hot ministry totty in tight suit trousers and rate them, 2. Attempt to make Aron's New Years Resolution to involve making her coffee on an hourly basis and 3. To steal a dance with her secret boyfriend and be able to pass it off as just helping the new employees settle in.

That, and her mother had turned up to babysit Briar-Rose and made a snarky comment about the little red number Eli had been wearing initially. Apparently it made Yasmin Dodderidge completely question her daughters employment and if she needed to contact someone higher up for conversations. And so with her mothers insistence, Eliora had came to THIS shindig in some sort of stuffy tra-la-la fairy netting dress that she'd never seen before and had no recollection of buying.

Which meant it had belonged to the previous house owner who had left such nice things behind. Such as the garden full of mole hills and a mouse infestation in the basement. The joys.

People were in little groups and she hadn't had enough coffee for this which meant that she was going to have to PRETEND.

PRETEND TO BE COFFEE HIGH.

PRETEND TO HAVE HAD SO MUCH CAFFEINE THAT SHE MAY WET HERSELF.

(Coffee really needed a warning label about it's ferocious bladder and bowels side effects!)

Okay. Game face. Eli wiggled onto the dance floor and swayed a little in the corner. By herself. All on her lonesome.

And she looked like an absolute idiot.

Never.

Going.

To.

Live.

This.

Down.


Nate had been socializing, well talking to random people. If you could count that as socializing..

He hadn't met anyone from his own department which was a little but weird. Honestly was it so secretive that no one even showed up to party? Cause that would be dull, working with people who couldn't appreciate a decent party.

But then he spotted her across the crowd, the one person he was really looking forward to seeing all night...wearing something that didn't exactly look like her? Nope.. It was a little too.. Well, just not Eliora..

He made his way there, toward her and smiled, being as charming as ever, as if he'd never met her before. "Hi, You look devastatingly beautiful, would you like to dance?" He asked and held out his hand to her. So maybe this was a little cheesy, but maybe he thought she liked cheesy sometimes.
