The Stature of Socitiety

Aileen looked from Calixta's disappeared form to that of Lainey. THIS was why she didn't do social events. So much drama. She felt the weight of her wand in her dress and contemplated apparating then and there. She sighed. That would make her look even more guilty. Dutifully she trudged after Lainey who seemed to be the most likely person to have her join them for their conversation. Calixta's private talk was probably not going to accept visitors. At least with Lainey there were other people she could visit with if Lainey decided not to chat.

She pushed her way through the crowds until she joined Lainey beside the lift which was backed up substantially. Probably due to some drunk or something. "Mind if I join?" She asked as cheerfully as possible.

Lainey looked askance at Aileen, not particularly thrilled with her being a hanger-on, especially since Calixta had left, but she saw little other choice. There was no way to turn down such a direct request without being rude.

"Sure," she sighed, turning to face the lift. Luckily, the line got moving shortly thereafter, sparing Lainey the necessity of talking. Within a few minutes, they were breezing through the doors of the VIP and ushered into their private room, where Calixta and Bastian were already seated, to her relief and surprise.
