Well, that was doing slightly better. Her smile that time came across as much less shaky. "Well, I'm, mostly, looking forward to meeting him as well," she said.

Munkus offered her a reassuring smile as they reached the hotel. After a moment of confirming with the security that, yes, they were in fact on the guest list, they got inside. the tabby's blue gaze swept over the entryway.

Tugger shrank back a little as they arrived, despite his more frequent visits to the hotel, he was already feeling out of place. He checked his coat in the cloakroom, but the suit felt even more odd exposed and despite his dislike for them on himself, he was pretty certain that he was the only tomcat in the place not wearing any kind of necktie. He'd never felt so acutely aware of his appreance before.
He followed his brother and Electra towards the ballroom, eyes scanning the crowd for a familiar face.

Electra's arm tightened its grip on Munkustraps' upon entering the hotel, looking around with huge eyes. It was one thing to read about events like this, and entirely another to actually be there. She paused as they entered and she noticed the ginger tabby coming right for them.
Macavity strode toward them, grinning. "Tug, 'Straps," he paused. "And...?" he asked, looking to Munkustrap for an introduction.

Once again, the briefest hesitation before introducing her to one of his brothers, but this time there really was no alternative...not that there had been last time either. "Electra Peirce. Electra, this is my brother, Macavity Hollister."

Mac smiled at the queen, bringing her paw up to kiss the back of it. "Lovely to finally meet the queen that my brother likes," he said smoothly and froze for a moment on seeing the bracelet she was wearing before releasing her paw.
Electra blushed at that. "N-nice to meet you as well," she said. Neither of the brothers had prepared her for suave...

Tugger glanced sideways at Munkustrap as Macavity greeted Electra, recalling the reason why he hadn't done what his eldest brother just did. Though he had a slightly sickening feeling that Mac had a much better chance of getting away with it.
He was glad Macavity had come to greet them though, at least for the present, he was feeling a little less lost for it.

Munkus' ears flickered back at the action, he'd forgotten exactly how well Mac handled himself around queens. Not as though he could call him out on being courteous to his girlfriend, but still. It wasn't the most confidence-building motion he'd seen in a while. He took a breath, placing his calm facade back on, offering Mac a bit of a smile. "I wanted to thank you again for inviting us, Mac."

Electra drew her paw back when he released it, slipping her arm back through Munkustraps'. She glanced around the room again, trying to take it all in.
"Of course," Mac replied, grinning. "I'm just 'lad you all came," he said.

Tugger held back a snort at this, Mac knew full well Tugger was only there because he'd practically asked him to be. "Place is lookin' nice Mac," he offered after a minute, ears flicking with unease, unable to hide his discomfort in front of his brother.

Mac turned his full grin on Tugger. "Thank you," he said, actually meaning it. "Well then," he said, spreading a paw out to encompass the room. "Would you like ta step in a little farther than just the door?"

Munkus considered the honest answer of 'no' and decided that was hardly appropriate. "Seems a good idea." He glanced at Electra a moment, partially as reassurance for himself and partially for her.

"Suppose we could do that." Tugger agreed, he found himself glancing at Macavity for some sort of approval that he was going along with this.

She smiled in return, stepping forward and angling slightly for the buffet table.
Mac meanwhile was standing next to Tugger. "And how have you been then?" he asked.

Munkus allowed his girlfriend to guide him toward the buffet, moderately relieved by the momentary respite from his brothers.
