Considering the events that happened at the Gala, Linnea wasn't sure just how much trust was to be afforded to anyone else at any given time anymore. Even though the woman at the counter wasn't someone she knew to be part of the Family, there had to be a reason that the cashier had come to pull her out of the back of the pharmacy. Not part of the family, pretty, a little older than her… Linnea's mind was blank and her brow furrowed as she approached the counter, not sure if she was there to talk for the pharmacy or for Nightshade. "Hi there," she said politely, hands coming to curl around the edge of the counter. "Can I help you?"

As much as Mei Lin liked to say she kept herself knowledgeable about the comings and goings of important players in Los Angeles, the simple truth was she couldn't keep up with everyone and not all of them were interested in the type of service that she provided. That said, just because someone wasn't interested in her didn't mean she wasn't interested in them. Gossip was the coin of every realm and Mei Lin was smiling as she slotted herself beside the other woman. "Parties like this are always less entertaining when you can't enjoy a drink, don't you think?" She asked, not directly addressing the swell of the woman's stomach, but certainly implying something.
