Tantomile depositied her empty glass on the edge of the buffet table, eyeing the food without much interest. She was still inwardly seething after her encounter with her brother and needed a distraction. Anything not to let him see how much he'd affected her.
Turning her back on the table, the tall queen glanced over the crowd, seeking something to occupy her interest. Nearer the door, where guests were still arriving, even this late, she caught a flash of red fur, and decisively turned that way, after all, she'd not actually spoken to Macavity that night, and after the last time they'd spoken, she was definitely curious to see if he was actually enjoying what he'd created.

Mac finished greeting one of the later guests, nodding and smiling and being the gracious host he was supposed to be, though he kept darting looks at the clock, and at one point had asked for the guest list, scanning it over to see who had arrived and who hadn't. Still no sign of Jones, he noted, and wasn't too terribly depressed by the though that the fat cat would be too offended to show up. However, the glaring lack of a check mark next to Griddlebone's was setting the fur along his spine on edge.
Glancing around, he noticed Tantomile sliding toward him, taking in her appearance and smiling at her approach. "Lovely ta see you here," he said as she got closer.

Tantomile gave him a smile, surprisingly warm considering her current mood, "You didn't really think I'd miss it did you? It's been quite the evening. Are you having fun playing host?"

Mac rolled a shoulder. "Well enough. Plenty of interestin' types around here tonight. You see anycat in particular of note? You look lovely in that dress, by the way."

Tantomile looked at Macavity hard for a moment, trying to judge how truthful he was being. Something was off, she decided eventually, she just couldn't place it.
"Thank you," her smile grew a little. "I've seen plenty I know, a few too many of which are clients." she laughed, enjoying being able to share that joke with someone who would understand it, she needed the release. "I just ran into a face I hadn't seen for years as well, so that was a novelty, though I don't know that he saw it that way in the end."

Mac arched a brow, having chuckled when she did. "Rather. And in the end, would he have seen the novelty as a good thin' or a bad thin'? Surely it must be the former but I'm curious now." Yes, banter, that was good. Something else. Something not staring at the door like a forlorn kit.

"He saw it as a good thing, I think. Unfortunately, my dear brother made it his business to ruin the moment." she was putting it lightly, trying to keep to the banter as well, she told herself it was more interesting to try and work out what Macavity was masking than worry about her own emotions.

Mac chuckled again, glancing around the guests to make sure nothing had changed before back to the queen in front of him. "Your brother? Ruinin' a moment?" He shook his head, still laughing. "I can imagine."

Tantomile arched an eyebrow at him, "You seem a bit distracted."

His gaze snapped back to her. "Excuse me?" he asked, blinking. "I, me? Distracted? You must be imagin' things."

Tantomile shook her head at him. "Come on Mac, I know you better than that. What's going on? I'm in my best dress, if something is about to kick off, I'd rather have forewarning."

He gave her a somewhat unimpressed look. "Please. I would hardly condone kickin' cats off at my own party. If I'm distracted, then it's a personal matter." Just because his henches didn't get a chance to have personal matters didn't mean he didn't. He was the boss for a reason.

Tantomile gave him a triumphant look, pleased that she'd got him to admit there was something up. "So who are you waiting for?" it was mostly a guess, but she couldn't imagine another reason he would be looking about so much if it was something personal.

Mac arched a brow and tried to act casual. "I'm not waitin' on anycat in particular," he said. "Just makin' sure all the guests are accounted for."

Tantomile's eyebrows rose further, "If you say so."
