[ Adaine hasn't always been much of a drinker. It wasn't until last spring, when the Bad Kids had been chasing the Shadow Cat across half of Spyre, when Adaine really was at her wit's end, that she started following along with her friends' debaucherous party behaviors. And even then, she only had half a beer at the infamous shrimp party before she was completely plastered.

She's pacing herself a bit more tonight, not wanting to be too drunk in front of so many strangers. But when a familiar face comes up to her, she perks up, sitting up a little straighter and greeting Asuka with a smile. ]

This isn't even half as rowdy as the parties we throw back home in Spyre. Fabian over there... [ She gestures with the hand holding her solo cup towards her friend who is tearing up the dance floor. ] ...is the most popular kid in school.

[ Or, at least, he will be, according to what he's said. But given that he's the furthest along in their mutual timeline, Adaine is prone to believe it's more than just an idle boast. ]

Thank you, though, for coming. I know it was all kind of last minute.
