When you close your eyes, do you picture me?
She's not late and she won't admit to feeling weird visiting Flora's place when she hasn't seen the Queen since being cured - knowing that she played a role in that. It's easier to just pretend like she's been here the whole time, standing in the shadows, sipping on a cold drink as she watches the others gush and tease; although that's easier said than done when she has to step through the door, immediately greeted with the groups that have formed.
Only a few are faces she recognizes, lingering on the birthday boy and Asta in their usual proximity then Flora and Charlie as others she vaguely knows, all locked in conversations she has no context for. But she doesn't let that dim her usual confidence, forcing her chin to lift along with the corners of her lips like she's supposed to be here (after all, she did get an invitation) despite her own lack of scandalous or festive clothing.
Still, she skirts the party to deposit her gift in a subtle slip of deft fingers. The jewelry box appears on the table of gifts, a tiny velvet black bow on top, small enough not to draw attention as she strolls casually to the bar, propping next to Dantalion and Astaroth with a wicked smirk directed towards the man next to Charlie (Kaisel). "Did someone mention cake?" Her eyes turn to Danta, winking as she says, "It's not a happy birthday without cake." And definitely has nothing to do with her own sweet tooth, or the other implication the priestess makes. She's not sure she would mix friends and sex in that way, but not everyone here is a 'friend'.
