"Wait!! Did you come here to have fun too!? Oh! Oh! Did you bring any friends? Can I meet them? I brought my friend too! See? See?" She proudly gestured to North. "We didn't have any pretty dresses though…" She trailed off, before giving Loki a nervous smile. "… Can I still meet them even if I don't have a pretty dress too?"

Loki had been enjoying a small glass of sparkling wine, when Wisteria appeared in front of her. The not-ghost's voice seemed so familiar as she spoke all excitedly. She couldn't quite place it right away, but after looking into the child's eyes for a moment… she nodded. It was immediately clear; this was the same ghost that had adopted her as a mother. Once again, the eyes didn't lie; even disguised as a human, Wisteria's identity couldn't escape Loki's keep senses. And that attitude… the sheer excitement and awe were undeniable.

"Ah…" she mused, striding up to Wisteria and ruffling the hair on her head. "How could a mom ever forget her little girl? You know… I don't even think you told me your name when you 'adopted' me, did you? Did I even tell you mine? I'm Jolokia. Jolokia Capsicum Aniseed… or just Loki works, too!" She chuckled softly at that, turning her head to spot North when the younger 'ghost' pointed her out. "I see! It's good that you have a friend here to keep you company. Don't worry; you don't need a giant dress like mine to meet my friends and family."

Just then, Bijoux padded alongside her mother, headtilting at the pair of humans. She looked over at Wisteria specifically, noticing the more ghostly features on her body. The Cinccino-taur waved shyly at both her and North, letting out a soft squeak in greetings.

"Hello, little ones," she offered, despite being only slightly taller than North herself. The normal-type's tail swayed in rhythm, and she looked over at Loki. "I hope Mom hasn't given you any trouble."

"Speak of the family," Loki mused, gently patting Bijoux on her left shoulder. "This sweet bundle of fluff is my daughter, Bijoux Kylar Aniseed."

"Mom, sheesh, really? Whipping out the middle names in front of strangers?"

"Hey, we're at a nice event. It's okay to be a little more formal in introductions." The hybrid smirked and nodded toward the Cinccino-taur curtly. "And besides, one of these 'strangers' sees me as a mother figure. She's not always a human, either; she's, last I checked, a Misdreavus on most days. Though this other human, I can't recall meeting the last time I saw this ghost-but-not-currently…"

"Ugh, seriously, Mom, can you not go anywhere anymore without becoming someone's Mom or Aunt? The family tree already has enough tangled webs with me being like, half-sister to someone who has thirty-something generations of descendants…"

"To be fair," Loki quipped, "she asked me if I was like a mom from like the instant she saw me. I can't say no to such sweet, awestruck eyes! You know how weak I am to that! But anyway, Bijoux... shouldn't you be testing your harp to make sure it's ready for your performance? It's got to be coming up soon..."

I think that Sarah and North would be bffs!!!!

Since they’re almost the same age and (seemingly) have similar interests, I think they’re the kind of friends who would just sit and talk and talk for hours!! Sarah def is into myths/lore type stuff, and she would love just sitting and listening to North talk about her world’s deity pacts and familiars and stuff! She’d prob also tell North all about her crazy adventures! also Sarah would def be interested in the idea of specialized moves! she would probably ask North to show hers a thousand times. then she’d have Citrine (her luxray) and Khione (Hugh’s glaceon) try and replicate it. it would not work for obvious reasons. shed also prob bring out all her mons to show her, but specifically mentioning Anubis (lucario), since she has a lucario too.

Wisteria gleefully smiled as she held the disgusting-looking cake out to Loki, “I don’t know what food is but I found these in the woods and I made it into a cake for you!!”(Hopfully this sends right. Please for the love of god do not put that anywhere near your mouth that is the most inedible thing known to Pokemon kind. She still does not understand what birthdays or food is.)

"Don't worry! Even if you're super serious you can still have fun! I don't really know what adults do during parties but I do know they talk to other adults alot! Maybe you should talk to other adults! Or you could talk to your friends!?" She asked, seemingly on a mission to annoy them with her unneeded help. "Your friend looks like they realllly like you too!!"

Ah, greetings. He turns and kneels down, so the two are seeing eye to eye. He’s silent for a few seconds… Arceus, was he always this socially awkward?

I am indeed having a good time. You can tell he means what he says, even though his voice falters slightly. I am deeply sorry I appear quite serious all the time, it is just my neutral expression. He manages a small smile for her, As for friends… I am not quite sure I have made many at this gala. And, he chuckles, I would hope that Jasper likes me. We have been friends and rivals for quite some time…

He lifts his head up, looking to see if North has a guardian. Noting that no adult seems to be panicking, he pats her awkwardly on the head. I do hope you have a good time at the gala. If you ever wish to talk, I will most likely be here. I do not mind your company…
