SPOILER!!: quotes Quote:
Elizabeth rolled her eyes a little, affectionately, as she got the somewhat expected complaining from Robert as they worked their way through the entrance hall, before glancing back to see him fidgeting with his suit. "You're here 'cause you're the big, bad Quidditch star, and you want to show people that. And 'cause I'm here," she said with a grin. "And I didn't force you to dress up, although you have to admit it loks better than if I was wearing this and you were all casual," she pointed out, letting go of his hand for a moment as she indicated her dress. Then she took his hand again as she went back to pulling him along, sighing a little as he groaned. "He's not here," she said softly to him, so he could hear but hopefully no one else could, guessing at at least part of his issue. She thought things had gotten a little better with the situation with Mari, but maybe it was still a work-in-progress. She wasn't about to abandon it, though.
And then they'd arrived at where Mari was, or at least to where she was headed back toward them and she smiled at the comment about finding each other fast. "Did you actually think it would be hard to find me?," she replied, a little teasingly. It couldn't have been that hard, really. Especially since she had a feeling Robert was sticking with her the whole time. He wasn't exactly inconspicuous. The thought went to the back of her mind, though, as her best friend finally got back to them and she was enveloped in a hug. "Um, thanks," she said a little awkwardly. She'd expected comments about her outfit, but it was still weird. "You look amazing too," she returned with a smile. Mari always had been a bit more into clothes than she ever had, though. And then she felt the awkwardness come back, and stepped back a little as Mari spoke to Robert. She really wanted things to be better, thought they were better. Really. If they could be. And she didn't fail to notice how much Mari was saying, without really saying a whole lot. "We should," she said with a tiny nod, agreeing with her as she decided she'd do whatever it took to get everyone less tense. Even if she had to use all her skills to convince Robert to stay. At least there was food. Maybe that would distract him so she could focus on everything.

As Mari med them he watched her and Liz hug and simply nodded as she said he looked good. "Thanks. You too." It was odd because he still hadn't forgiven her for what she had done yet..he didn't care for her in that way either. He didn't know what he was feeling anymore. Wrapping his arm around Liz he listened as the two talk, his eyes darting around for anyone he knew. Maybe Willow was here. Hearing something about food his attention was caught and he looked at the two of them. "Food?" He was starving. He was always starving it seemed though.
At least Cayden wasn't here though that was one thing that he didn't need to worry about. Maybe it won't be so bad after all. Running his hand along Liz's side he gripped her hand. If only he had a game tomorrow and then he could leave early but...he'd much rather hang out with Liz all night. He looked down at her and smiled as she talked to Mari. He did love her. In a way he should thank Mari...in a way. This...was more awkward than Mari had anticipated. " You're welcome," she told Elizabeth with another bright smile. When her friend turned the compliment back on herself, Mari smiled more. She couldn't help it. She'd always been vain; Elizabeth knew this well enough. " Thank you. I know it's plain, my dress...but I thought the plainer my dress, the better my accessories could be." She said, showing Elizabeth her earrings and necklace, as well as her bracelet.
" Of course I knew I would find you easily. With or without your Quidditch man." She said, attempting to make things a bit less awkward. " Although, I have to say you being so dressed up would have made it a bit of a challenge." She teased Elizabeth lightly before looking over her shoulder into the Great Hall, which was when she heard Robert say something about food.
Mari pushed some hair back from her face and smiled."See? I knew we'd find something in common." Mari laughed. " I'm hungry as well. We should go eat." She said, stepping back a bit and motioning for them to follow her. " Then I can show you some pictures of Bella and Alex," She said, sounding very excited about that. " Since I haven't sent you any since they were born," She said with another small laugh.
