"Well I hope your guest arrives, Happy New Year for later."
Tantomile gave him a last smile and then wove off through the crowd in search of the comissioner.

The white queen stepped through the door, shedding her coat and checking it, hesitating for a moment before straightening, her chin rising as she made her way steadfastly up the stairs. She really should have just stayed home tonight. A paw came up to trace over the necklace around her throat, it felt odd not to find the five small charms, but the gold hardly went with the blue and black on her dress.

Mac's flickered back as Tantomile walked away, and he leaned against one of the tables, greeting a guest aimlessly and looking around without much interest.

Griddlebone finally reached the top of the stairs, sweeping toward the ballroom, her gaze focusing on the host of the evening.

Mac's gaze was off the door, so it took him a moment to notice. Finally, he turned, his eyes doing his usual sweep of the room to freeze on the sight of her. He remained frozen for a moment before pushing off where he was leaning and taking a step toward her.

Griddlebone offered a hesitant smile, her tail swaying behind her as she took a couple of careful steps toward the room. "Good evening."

She nodded slightly. "I did. I...would have given you a response to the invitation, but I wasn't even sure until this evening."

He paused for another moment, before doing the motion he must have repeated a hundred times that night to different queens, raising her paw and leaning down to kiss the back of it. "I'm glad you decided ta come then," he murmured, keeping his eyes on hers.

He lingered for a moment before letting go of her paw. "Oh? Couldn't you have not?"

"Come now, a personal invitation from the host, a gift of a necklace, and the chance to see the hotel at 'it's gaudiest'?" She offered him a smile and a bit of an arched brow, carefully not saying what she fully meant.

A slow smirk spread across his face. "Oh? Well, when looked at that way, I 'uess it would have been hard ta say no." He paused for a moment. "And what do you think of it at it's gaudiest?"

"It's lovely." She replied, glancing up at him. "Well decorated, and tasteful. Suiting to the occasion."

He glanced around and back to her, still half smirking. "Lovely and well decorated. I can think of something else that deserves the same compliment."
