007 ✽ Bubbles in the Wine

Who: Luce and practically anyone that's had CR with her
What: On another side of town, it's a different mafioso's birthday.
When: March 14, in the evening
Where:
Warnings: None planned

Since the start of the month, those who know her even faintly will find themselves contacted one way or another to let them know that they were invited to a birthday party on the 14th. There's no pressure, of course, and there's no need to bring gifts.

Luce finds that she'd be perfectly content just seeing all the people she hasn't been able to see for ages now.

Today is finally the day, and the location? The top floors of the exclusive hotel Sol, which is quite an impressive feat. When the invitees step inside, they'll see why. It's taken Luce constant persuading for this for months now, inbetween everything else she's had to do lately, but goodness knows if she isn't willful. On various tables that are kept carefully restocked, one can find various rice and lamb dishes, plus plenty of piping hot bread including some that's stuffed with all manner of delicious things. Fortunately for Luce's continued existence, she didn't make all of it.

...Besides the cookies. Those she made. And the cake? That'll come later, of course.

There's more than just food and conversation, however. Everyone who comes in will be invited to participate in a little game. Somewhere hidden in the party are various small golden eggs. If you bring one to Luce, you get a prize of some sort. Feel free to note that "bring" is the key word and not necessarily "find". Take that as you will.

I will be, yes. This just happens sometimes.

[At the worst of times, evidently. She gestures towards a chair not too far away.]

If you'd be so kind...

[If it's any sop to her dignity, he doesn't pick her up and bridal-carry her there, at least? He walks her over instead, one arm across his body for her to hold and the other very lightly on her shoulder for support.]

You want somethin' to drink or anything?

[She's very grateful for his assistance, and for the fact that he didn't try to carry her. She'd like to retain some dignity from this. She settles into the chair and takes a moment to breathe.]

No, thank you. I simply need a moment to get my feet under me. Thank you for your help - I do appreciate it.

[Jecht flops down in the chair next to hers without much grace, then. Gotta keep an eye on her for a moment, make sure everything's fine.]

Ain't anything. Least I can do for someone who gets stuck walking on her toes for the sake of fashion, right?
sailorgenerous: (Unicorns are magic of course)

[She can't say she minds. Honestly, it is nice to have someone looking after her.]

Nonetheless, I am grateful. Though if this is going to keep happening, I may switch to flats.

Hey, I ain't no fashion designer or style columnist, but you want the opinion of the guy on the street? Heels are overrated. Probably put yourself through more hell wearing those than guys do wearing ties. [Of course, Jecht hasn't worn a tie in a long time, but even so his hand goes to his neck to rub it with the memory.]
