[Lights. Decorations. Music. Food. The works - that was what was in store for them tonight. The Order had decided to throw another formal banquet/ball for its poor overworked staff, and heaven knows they all needed the boost in morale right about now. It was a rare moment indeed when everyone just got to relax and be people for a change.]

[Lavi slides up next to Lenalee, holding a glass of punch out right in front of her nose. Grinning, of course. Always grinning.]

Tsk tsk, Lenalee. I hope you didn't really plan to wallflower the whole night away.

[weightofthesky]

[Lenalee loves these things. Food, laughter, Allen inhaling the entire platter of finger-sandwiches, and Kanda scowling at him for it. Reever and Johnny are chattering excitedly about something -- she's pretty sure it's some kind of plan to get out of doing Komui's half of the paperwork again -- and Jerry is belting out some kind of song while he continues to praise "that darling young man with the healthy appetite".

Carefree, if for a brief moment.

And it's really not for want of being a wallflower, that she's been hovering at the outskirts of the crowd. Really. It's just that she wanted to take a moment to step back and watch the pieces of her world come together in ways that didn't involve throwing oneself to the winds with arms outstretched in hopes that you'll live to see another day.

Kind of like puzzle pieces fitting together.





-- so she's a little jolted out of her reverie, and finds herself peering down into a glass of punch before glancing up into a familiar green eye.

Oh.]

I guess it would be a little silly, wouldn't it? [She smiles at him though, and accepts the punch with a hint of a bow before taking a sip.] Oh, blueberry~

[readbetweenthelines]

Silly? More like the waste of a perfectly good party.

[Lavi quickly scans the room, memorizing the people, their positions, who they're talking to, and even what they're saying if they happen to be within ear shot. Always watching. Always recording. Though tonight the reasons are not exactly work related (not exactly in the loosest sense). All work and no play-- surely Lavi would never live down being called a dull boy. It was time for a little well-deserved fun.]

[But yes, watching. In particular, Lavi's making sure that one particular person is absent from the ballroom at this moment. The smile on his lips turns up a fraction more when he finds no sign of that person. Yes. Perfect. Komui has wandered off somewhere for the moment, which means now is the perfect time to invite himself on to one lovely lady's empty dance card.]

[He raises his own glass, swirling it around lazily as he watches Lenalee take another sip. The grin turns absolutely roguish when he turns to face her fully.]

Someone should come and fix that.

[And look look, such a willing volunteer was right in front of her]
