If the venue was impressive, the merchieftainess at the entrance intimidating and breath-taking, the event itself an inspiring convergence of wizard- and merkind, Daxton Prince did not appear to notice. Position in the government workforce acquired - not without its obstacles - gala attended, another box ticked. That was all.

Daxton gave few, if any, signs of recognition upon noticing the familiar faces around him, and instead did a silent circuit of the gala immediately off the back of his arrival. He had little interest in rubbing shoulders with his new reluctant boss (and ample reason for that), not to mention some of the others around here who seemed irritatingly exuberant, possibly because Daxton had grown far too used to maintaining a healthy distance from such people. Excepting Char, but then she always had been an exception to most things.

Having established the layout and made his estimations as to the general atmosphere, Daxton passed by the bar long enough to nonchalantly take two drinks from a couple of wizards perched there. One for him to not drink, and the other saved for a non-existent plus-one, lest someone incorrectly interpret his standing alone as desiring the company of anyone who cared to give it. Both hands full had the added advantage of limiting conversation options, though given he was new here, the implication was likely to be lost on most. If Aslan saw fit to arrive, he could stand her company more often than not, and Daxton had already clocked Indigo, whose acquaintance he had already made before. So he had options.

For the time being, however, Daxton stood with both drinks in hand and observed the goings-on around him, occasionally turned his eyes to the surrounding water, and ignored his growing impatience as best he could.
