"You really do know how to throw a party. I haven't had this much fun in, well, forever!" Even when she had to attend parties in Fontaine, they'd been more for show and status rather than having fun. Here, there were no stuffy nobles or proper etiquette to follow, and the people were a lot amiable as well. This ball, in particular, had left her in pretty high spirits. Navia leans her arms against the balcony ledge, overlooking the city. "Stelle's really nice, by the way. It's good that you have someone like that in your life." She turns her gaze toward him, smiling as she always does.

🐇 it's a little custom plush of gwen. but wait! there's a second one that he pulls out in the likeness of vivi herself. setting vivi's mini look alike down, he proceeds to put down gwen's onto the plush vivi's lap, showing a magnetic connection that keeps both in place when moved!

"Son of a nice woman." He tips his hat up, his eyes aimed directly for the kill shot - his new-found ill-gotten partner in crime. "Didn't know the IPC was lookin' to loot'n'shoot this forkin' planet too." He did know, actually, because:

"Well well well I'm a little upset with you Mr. Gold Bars." Despite the comment Sparkle's words were only somewhat laced at all with disappointment. If anything there was nothing she could've done to magically get sent back here at that specific time.

"If it isn't Miss Robin. Fancy seeing you here." and just the person he'd been hoping to find without resorting to chasing her down to her own home. though he was an ipc member, well... he didn't need to ruffle any feathers this time. "Hopefully the holidays have been treating you well enough. I even brought a gift to you for the occasion," he mentions, bringing out a small box and an envelope. opening the box would reveal a pair of elaborate chains to decorate her wings with as if they were earrings, tailored to match her preferred dress of choice. and secondly, the envelope, holding a small card that would upload enough dust imaginable to buy just about anything she thought necessary.

"Well, if it isn't a happy holiday to you, Miss Navia," he chimes in, having intended to meet her here. after all, it was her housing, not to mention the gift in his hand was pointedly addressed to her. so, he hands it over with that charming smile of his on display, leaning in a little for when she opens it. and once she does, she would find an array of high-end accessories such as earrings, necklaces, and even a few rings, accompanied with a finely tailored clutch purse to match her outfit. "Well, what do you think? Fancy giving them a whirl?" the way his gaze lingers on her is expectant of an answer, head tilting to the side as eyes ease just a little bit in her direction.

" There you are– I've been looking for you all night!" well, the latter half of the night. when she saw him slip away to the balcony to join a certain lady, stelle made a note about it in the back of her mind before continuing to enjoy the party. it was only a few hours later that she remembered she wanted to talk to the stoneheart when she caught him out of the corner of her eye.
