He had complied, though, wearing a simple black suit with what he thought was a fun mask, and a matching purple tie. Not quite as elaborate as the Minister's outfit, apparently, but he hadn't really wanted to stand out at his first event.

And not keen on being among the first to start dancing, he made his way to the buffet table. He could always do small talk about food, and it happened there was a lady (Mariana) standing there already. Good evening," he greeted her politely, noticing her mask. He gestured at the flower. "Is that a tiger lily?"

She was just about to procure herself something that was both chocolatey and covered in strawberries when he'd turned up and the brunette was momentarily distracted, offering him a curious smile. "It is a tiger lily, yeah. Well spotted." The botanist reached up to brush her fingertips over the silk flower briefly. "Added it myself. Thought the mask could use a little something extra." A little something her. "Big flower fan?" She hoped he didn't mind if she went back to making a plate while she waited for his answer. On second thought, she cut him a slice of the cake too, placing it on another plate. "If I wasn't working with plants I would've loved to be a food critic."
