[Ariadne's sure there's a social protocol for this. And she's also pretty sure she's doing it wrong. Somehow, though, she's reasonably sure that Drizzt won't hold it against her or scold her.

She smiles sheepishly at the camera.]

There's going to be a party on Friday at Hoot Couture. A celebration for the anniversary of the birth of one of my friends.

I...was wondering if you would care to accompany me?

[usestwohands]

[He fumbles the video for a moment. He's outside at what is clearly Agrona, and it would seem her boyfriend has acquired himself a pair of sunglasses.

Be that as it may, he's smiling.]

I would be honored.

[demonicbeauty]

[It's a good thing he's wearing those sunglasses, because she absolutely beams at him.]

That's wonderful! I...I'll look forward to it.

[A small pause.]

I always look forward to you.

[usestwohands]

[ I always look forward to you, she'd said. Not to spending time with him, or going places with him. Just him. ]

I...do as well. Look forward to you, that is. It's always a pleasure to hear your voice.

[demonicbeauty]

[It's hard not to let a slight flush rise in her cheeks. She turns her head slightly to try to hide it.

And then it hits her. Eyes wide, she turns back to the feed.]

Oh! I should warn you, I guess. There are...with the last wave of arrivals, two women showed up and...they look like me.

[They don't necessarily sound like her, but it's confusing enough that she figures Drizzt ought to know.]

[usestwohands]

I could never mistake another for you, if that's your concern.

[ He smiles at the feed. ]

You are singular.

[demonicbeauty]

[She flushes a deep shade of lavender at that.]

That is...not something I hear very often.

[Ariadne ducks her head.]

I thank you for that.

[usestwohands]

Then I clearly don't say it often enough, and for that I apologize.

[ He smiles at the feed, though. She really is adorable. ]

When is this celebration? Is it formal?

[demonicbeauty]

It's this Friday. I don't think it's formal.

And I don't think Ezra will judge what we wear too much.

[usestwohands]

Then I will be happy to join you.

[ Though he may not know many people at this party, he is honored she would have him join her. ]

[demonicbeauty]

Well. All right.

[She lowers her lashes demurely, but she's grinning.]

See you Friday.
