holiday party post
Aphrodite's New York loft is done up to the nines.
The first good look as one enters is of twinkling Manhattan through the big windows, lights bright against a dark winter sky. The windows take up most of two walls; the rest of the space is largely empty, the star of the show a glowingly polished hardwood floor perfect for dancing.
There's a cluster of low-slung couches and chairs at one end of the room, velvet and leather and very inviting. They're situated by the fireplace, which lends them a cozy glow-- though it isn't cold anywhere in here, despite the windows.
Aphrodite is very proud of a few things about tonight:
1) The music, which spans a decent range of time periods and tempos, and will be playing for most of the evening.
2) The decorations, understated but quite lovely: softly glowing lights, silver and gold ribbons wound around columns and draped from the ceiling ... the occasional strategically placed bit of mistletoe.
3) Her dress.
And yes, darlings, there is a very well stocked bar and counter full of snacks.
That's what happens when you enlist the Three Graces to help you plan your shindigs.

Re: Arrivals
He put on a suit that he would wear in Ancelstierre before going in and approaching Aphrodite, the red of her dress makes him think of Kait. When he gets to her, he bows, "Thank you for the invitation."
Re: Arrivals
"Not at all," she says.
"Thank you for coming. Have we met before?"
Re: Arrivals
"Once briefly, I believe we did," He blushes slightly at her smile as its glorious.
Re: Arrivals
"Oh," she sighs, apologetic.
"I'm so sorry-- you'll have to tell me your name again. Promise I won't forget this time."
Re: Arrivals
When he says his name, he nods trying to not be too formal.
Re: Arrivals
"Well-- like I said, delighted to have you here, sweetie. Let me know if you're not having a good time and I'll fix it."
Re: Arrivals
That wasn't what he meant to say and he wishes that Nick were here, he'd know what to say.
Re: Arrivals
"In that case, drinks and snacks are over there, make yourself at home." A grin. "I hope I see you on the dance floor."
