Dull blush-gray eyes scanned the area as she gave a contented sigh sitting in her seat properly amongst other representatives, and other higher ups. It was an elegant event one that she was getting used to being invited to such extravagant events.

As the waiter came to their table a plate was slid in front of her. The food looked delicious, and expensive. It's not that she had never had expensive food before, but once her father had died she had gotten used to having the occasional non fancy sit down restaurant.

A clang was heard as a fork hit a wine glass up in the air. The host of the event came up on stage making a polite greeting and thank you to all of those who had come. Giving a short speech she did her best to smile and look attentive. To be caught otherwise would be disgraceful.

As he finished his speech he welcomed them to enjoy their dinner, and brought attention to what looked to be a young pianist. He began to play his music making the mood even more peaceful and relaxing. 

Polite conversation fell through at the table as they ate. Some finishing and others like herself, only managing to get half of it finished. Excusing herself from the table she walked up closer to the male to get a better listen of his playing.

She gave him a smile as he slowly fell into finishing his third piece, "You play wonderfully." she complimented.

Uncomcortably, he fixiated the green and white suit-shirt he had acquired after arriving to the PLANTs for the beginning of his vacation-a vacation he had sourely needed between the Princess almost being kidnapped and another few slurr of events to distact him. The initial order of business was visiting his parents and delivering flowers for the Chief, but post that ordeal, they had suggested he visit old friends. Such a term was difficult to apply to anyone (Athrun was in Orb, allegedly wooing the Chief, and Yzak was too scary to visit without backup). Dearka Elsman had been the next logical choice. But what exactly could he offer Dearka as compensation?

Flowers? Maganizes men read usually? Piano tickets?

Deciding his best option was a box of chocolates, he had bought the nicest assortment of chocolates and promptly asked for Dearka's residency. The extensive home he lived in wasn't in another PLANT, thankfully, but it certainly took a fair amount of time to approach.
